In no case will a consumer have more than half of his points removed in any month, Miss Wil liams explained. It was pointed out, in answer a Question rrom tne auaience, that the benefits of buying In rea sonable Quantities were retained under the system. One of the rea sons ror Duying in quantities was to cut down the number of trips to the grocery store.

Another was to cut down tne price or articles, and a third to nave something on CHILDLESS VOU lay COPY iWiVES hi Who Wish BABIES Doctor's Information SENT FREE! 1Mb an MhaaaS st asaw tha fasMta ersaas Is raliesabla ctJaaal sterility may ha astistsS.

Point rationing takes away none of these advantages, the speaker stated. Answering: a question about how to obtain War Ration Book Two, Miss Wililams said: "If a oerson does not now have his War Ration Book One for coffee and sugar, he should go to his rationing board, state his difficulty and find out what can be done The Government is the agent of the people. The rules and regulations are a means by which we get done the things ail of us want to be done. The people who represent the Government iat any spot are put there to see that these things are done.

Dw Four OLD Ration Book for 1. The Government has set the day when this rationing will start. On or after that day, take your War Ration Book Two with you when you go to buy, any kind of these processed foods. 14 POINTS YOU GIVE MANY POINTS FOR SCARCE FOODS YOU GIVE LESS POINTS FOR FOODS THAT ARE NOT SO SCARCE 2. Before youbuy, find out how many points to give, for the kind of processed foods you want.

Prices dd not set the points. The Government will set different points for each kind and size no matter what the price. Your grocer will put up the official list of points where you can see it. It will also, be in the newspapers. points will not change just because the prices do.

3. When you buy, take the right amount of blue stamps out of Xhe book, i Do this in front of your grocer or delivery man and hand I them to him. The grocer must collect a ration stamp, or I stamps, for all the rationed processed foods he sells. Every rationed processed oo4 will take points as well as money. 4.

Do not use! more stamps than you need to make up the right amount. For example, If the food rou buy calls for 13 points it is better to tear out an 8 pbint and a 5 point stamp than two 5 pomt stamps and a 2 and a 1 point stamp. Save your smaller point stamps for low point foods. You can take the stamps from more than one book belonging to your household if you need to.
