ITs^TRODUCTOEY NOTE.
This Food Supply Manual is a revised edition of the Food
Control Manual, dated April 30tli last, and contains all the
Orders of the Food Controller and those of other Departments
ancillary thereto which are now (July 31st, 1918), or are about
to be, in force.
It also contains the Powers of the Controller, viz., the Act
of 1916 which established the Ministry of Food, and the Defence
of the E/ealm Regulations which confer powers on the Food
Controller.
The Manual further contains a Classified Index of ^11 the
*' Food Supply " Orders in force, and in addition a Chronological
Table of all the Food Controller's Orders which have been made
since the establishment of the Ministry, showing which of them
have been revoked or amended and which Orders have now
expired.
The Manual is divided into three Parts, viz., Part I, which
comprises the Constitution and Powers of the Ministry of Food.
Part II, which consists of the Orders as to Maintenance of
Food Supply, i.e. J Orders (i) Requisitioning various Articles of
Food, (ii) Fixing Maximum Prices, (iii) Rationing and Local
Distribution, (iv) Restricting Use, Manufacture, Dealings and
Movement, (v) Licensing and Registration of Dealers, &c., &c.
Part III, which contains the Orders as to the Constitution, &c.,
of Food Control Committees ; as to the Enforcement of Orders ;
and as to Prosecutions.
Contraventions of the Food Controller's Orders are, in the
majority of cases, declared either by Order of the Controller
or by the Defence of the Realm Regulations to be '' summary
offences " against those Regulations. The maximum sentence
for such a '' summary offence " may be six months with or without
hard labour, and a fine of £100, and forfeiture of any goods in
respect of which the offence was committed. The Defence of the
Realm (Food Profits) Act, 1918 (8 & 9 Geo. 5, c. 9), printed at
page 653, provides for an additional penalty of double the excess
profits obtained by overcharging for food.
It has not been considered necessary to publish in this Manual
a revision of the Outline of the Constitution and Powers of the
Food Ministry and of the Food Control Committees, which was
included in the Introduction to the Food Control Manual, dated
April 30th last. A reference to this last mentioned Manual, and
to the Chronological Table contained in the present one, will
probably furnish any necessary information.
The Manual is printed '' Under the Authority of H.M.
Stationery Office," and accordingly the Orders printed therein
may be produced as prima facie evidence of the making of the
Orders.

An Act for establishing certain new Ministries and for the appoint-
ment of additional Secretaries or Under Secretaries in certain
Government Departments ; and \ot purposes incidental thereto.
[22nd December 1916.]
Be it enacted by the King's most Excellent Majesty, by and
with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temponil,
and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and bj' the
authority of the same, as follows :

for maintaining a proper supply of food, and to take such steps as ^^^n^^

10. — (1) Any Minister appointed under this Act may appoint
such secretaries, officers and servants as the Minister may
determine.
(2) There shall be paid out of moneys provided by Parlia-
ment to any Minister appointed under this Act .... an
annual salary not exceeding two thousand pounds, and to the
secretaries, officers and servants of each of the Ministers estab-
lished under this Act, such salaries or remuneration as the
Treasury may from time to time determine.
(3) The expenses of each of the Ministers established under
this Act, to such an amount as may be sanctioned by the Treasury,
shall be paid out of moneys provided by Parliament.
11. — (1) Each Minister appointed under this Act may adopt
an official seal and describe himself generally by the stjde and
title .... in the case of the Minister of Food, of Food
Controller . . . . ; and the seal of the Minister shall be
officially and judicially noticed, and shall be authenticated by
the signature of the Minister or of a secretary or some person
authorised by the Minister to act in that behalf.
(a) Transferred anit Concurrent Powers of Food Controller. —
Under this provision two (and oiily two) Orders in Council have been made,
viz. : —
(1) "The Food Controller (Concurrent Powers) Order, 1917" (St. R. &
O., 1917, No. 124), which amended s. 1 (2) of the Defence of the
Realm (Amdt.) (No. 2) Act, 1915 (relating to interference with
contracts) by giving the Food Controller concurrent powers there-
under. That sub-section as thus and otherwise amended is printed
in the form it now appears to assume in Part XI. (" Relief from
Liability under Contracts affected by Departments' Requirements or
Restrictions") of the "Food (Supply and Production) Manual,"
p. 443. ,
(2) "The Food Controller (Transfer of Powers) Order, 1917" (St. R. &
O., 1917, No. 287), transferring to the Controller certain powers of
the Board of Trade as to Certificates authorising Brewing for
Military Canteens. That Order amends the Output of Beer Restric-
tion Acts which as thus amended are printed in the Consolidated
Form which they appear to assume as Appendix V. to the " Food
(Supply and Production) Manual," p. 470.
(b) Powers of Food Controller under Defence of the Realm
Regulations. — Such of these Regulations as confer express powers on the
Controller are printed pp. 5-16 of this Manual.
New Ministries and Secretaries Act, 1916 (6^7 Geo. b. c. 68). 3
(2) Every document purporting to be an order or other
instrument issued by a Minister appointed under this Act, and
to be sealed with the seal of the Minister authenticated in
manner provided by this section, or to be signed by the secretary
or any person authorised as aforesaid, shall be received in
evidence- and be deemed to be such order or instrument without
further proof, unless the contrary is shown.
(3) A certificate signed by a Minister appointed under this
Act, that any order or other instrument purporting to be made
or issued by him is so made or issued, shall be conclusive
evidence of the fact so certified.
(4) The Documentary Evidence Act, 1868, as amended by the 31 & 32 Vict.
Documentary Evidence Act, 1882, (a) shall apply to a Minister Jk^Z'^^ tt- +
appointed under this Act in like manner as if that Minister ^ q ^^ *
were mentioned in the first column to the Schedule of the first-
mentioned Act, or as if that Minister or a Secretary of the
Ministry, or any person authorised by the Minister to act on
his behalf, were mentioned in the second column of that
Schedule, and as if the regulations referred to in those Acts
included any document issued by the Minister.
(5) Where in connection with the undertaking of any duties
or powers by a Minister appointed under this Act, it appears
to the Minister and the department or authority concerned, that
in any notice, order, contract, or other document, the name of
the Minister should be substituted for the name of any depart-
ment or authority, or that the name of any officer of the Ministry
should be substituted for the name of any officer of any such
department or authority, the Minister may order that the sub-
stitution shall take effect, subject to any limitations contained
in the order, and, where such an order is made, the notice, order,
contract, or document, shall have effect in accordance with the
order.
(a) Documentary Evidence Acts.— These Acts as amended and applied
by various Acts provide three alternative modes of proving {inter alia) Orders
of the Food Controller. Those modes are the production of (1) a copy of the
Gazette, (2) an officially printed copy of the Order or (3) a certified copy or
extract .
One of the objects of the Rules Publication Act, 1893, was to avoid unneces-
sary gazetting (see s. 3 (3) thereof), and accordingly none of the Orders of the
Food Controller have been published in the London Gazette, but have all
been officially printed as " Statutory Rules and Orders."
This Manual comprises officially printed copies of all the Orders of the Food
Controller in forCB (July 31, 1918), and any such Order may accordingly be
proved by the production of this Manual, or of a separate Statutory Rule and
Order copy of the Order.
So much of the Documentary Evidence Acts as relates to the reception in
evidence of any of the Orders printed or noted in this Manual is printed as
Part X (1) ("Proof of Regulations Orders and Documents") of the "Food
(Supply and Production) Manual," p. 437, in the form which as applying to that
matter it appears to assume.

fixed by Order of His Majesty in Council, and different dates
may be fixed for different powers and duties.
15. This Act may be cited as the New Ministries and
Secretaries Act, 1916.
(a) NON-VACATION OF SEAT IN PARLIAMENT ON ACCEPTANCE OF ANOTHER
OFFICE. — The effect of this enactment is to add the new offices to the list of those
offices immediate succession from the one to the other of which does not vacate
a seat in the House of Commons. The list as enacted in 1867 and 1868 for
England, Scotland, and Ireland was in identical terms, but on the one hand it
has been extended by numerous enactments, and on the other certain Ministerial
Offices existing in 1867 are now obsolete. That list in its present form will be
found printed in Appendix VII (1) to the "Food (Supply and Production)
Manual," p. 510. '
(b) Officers by whom the Oaths are to be taken. — The effect of this
enactment is that the oaths are to be tendered to the Food Controller by the
Clerk of the Council and taken in the presence of His Majesty in Council or
otherwise as His Majesty shall direct.

Editorial Note.
The whole Jof the Defence of the Realm Regulations reproduced
under the authority of Regulation 64 as one single Consolidated Code,
and revised to the last day of each month, are published at the com-
mencement of the ensuing month. In "the Defence of the Realm
Manual," which will henceforward be issued twice a year (the latest
Edition covering the legislation to February 28th, 1918), the Regula-
tions are accompanied by full editorial notes, by the full text of both
the enabling Acts and of the Departmental Orders made under the
Regulations with full notes, and by an analytical index to the whole
of the Defence of the Realm Legislation.
This Food Control Manual comprises only those of the Regulations
which confer powers on the Food Controller.
Such Regulations are here printed in the form which they appear to
assume as applying to the Food Controller— all variations from the
form in which they appear in the general Consolidated Code being
indicated by thick black lines.

(a) Consultation with Food Controller as to exercise of certain
Land Cultivation Powers. — Regulation 2m (1) (printed in the July, 1918,
Monthly Edition of the Defence of the Realm Regulations in the form in
which it was in force on July 31st, 1918), provides that the po\\ers of the
Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, and of the Board of Agriculture for
Scotland as to land not cultivated so as to increase food supply shall be exercised
" after such consultation with the Food Controller as may be arranged."

tions are, in the absence of any express provision to the contrary,
determined, (a)
In determining such price(b) regard need not be had to the
market price but shall be had —
{a) if the goods are acquired from the grower or producer
thereof, to the cost of production and to the rate of
profit usually earned by him in respect of similar
goods before the war and to whether such rate of profit
was unreasonable or excessive, and to any other cir-
cumstances of the case ;
(6) if the goods are acquired from any person other than the
grower or producer thereof, to the price paid by such
person for the goods and to whether such price was
unreasonable or excessive, and to the rate of profit
usually earned in respect of the sale of similar goods
before the war, and to whether such rate or profit was
unreasonable or excessive, and to any other circum-
stances of the case; so, however, that if the person
from whom the goods are acquired himself acquired
the goods otherwise than in the usual course of his
business, no allowance, or an allowance at a reduced
rate, on account of profit shall be made :
(a) Tribunal for Compensation Claims.— On March 31st, 1915, a Royal
Commission (" The Defence of the Realm (Losses) Commission ") was appointed,
the terms of reference of which (printed at length at pp. 367, 368 of Supple-
ment No. 3 to the Manual of Emergency Legislation) are as follows : —
" to enquire and determine, and to report what sums (in cases not other-
" wise provided for) ought in reason and fairness to be paid out of
" public funds to applicants who (not being subjects of an enemy
" State) are resident or carrying on business in the United Kingdom,
" in respect of direct and substantial loss incurred and damage
" sustained by them by reason of interference with their property or
" business in the United Kingdom through the exercise by the Crown
" of its rights and duties in the defence of the Realm,"
The Commissioners thereby appointed are empowered —
(i.) to call before them such persons as they shall judge likely to afford
them any information upon the subject of the Commission : and also
to call for, have access to and examine all such books, documents,
registers and records as may afford them the fullest information on
the subject, and to inquire of and concerning the premises by all other
lawful ways and means whatsoever,
(ii.) to visit and personally inspect such places as they may deem it ex-
pedient so to inspect for the more effectual carrying out of the purposes
aforesaid.
The Commissioner further provides that if the Commissioners deem it expedient
the powers and privileges conferred on them shall belong to, and may be exer-
cised by, any one or more of them, and that they shall, from time to time,
report to the Treasury.
The (July 31st, 1918) present members of the Commission are : —
Lord Terrington (chairman) ;
Sir Matthew G. Wallace ;
The Rt. Hon. Mr. Laurence Hardy, M.P. ;
Mr. W. F. Hamilton, K.C. ;
The Hon. W. Watson, K.C, M.P.
Mr. D. du Bois Davidson is Secretary to the Commission, whose address is
Spencer House, 27, St. James' Place, S.W.I.
(b) Determination of Price. — Regulation 7 (p. 13) provides for the
determination of the price of factory-output requisitioned thereunder.
Powers of Food Controller to regulate Manufacture or Dealings 7
in Food.
Provided that where by \irtue of these regulations or any order
made thereunder the sale of the goods at a price above any price
fixed thereunder is prohibited the price assessed under this regu-
lation shall not exceed the price so fixed.
If, after the Food Controller has issued a notice that he has
taken or intends to take possession of any article in pursuance
of this regulation, any person having control of any such article
(without the consent of the Food Controller ) sells, removes, or
secretes it, or deals with it in any way contrary to any conditions
imposed in any licence, permit, or order that may have been
granted in respect thereof, he shall be guilty of an offence against
these regulations.
The Food Controller may by order direct that any action in
contravention of, or failure to comply with, this regulation or any
order or requirement thereunder, shall, instead of being an
offence, be a summary offence against these regulations, (a) and
this regulation shall have effect accordingly. (b)
2^. The Food Controller may by order regulate, restrict, or power to
prohibit the manufacture, purchase, sale, delivery of or payment regulate
for, or other dealing in, any article to which his powers under manufacture
Regulations 2f to 2j extend, and if any person refuses to sell any f^o^j ^^^
article, the sale whereof is regulated by any such order, he may
be required by the Food Controller to sell fit on the terms and
subject to the conditions on and subject to which the sale thereof
is authorised by the order and to deliver it to him or to any
person or persons named by him, delivery to be made in such
quantities and at such times and places as may be specified by
him or on his behalf.
If any person fails to comply with any provision of any such
order or any requirements made thereunder, or aids or abets(c)
any other person, whether or not such person is in the United
Kingdom, in doing anything which,. if done in the United King-
dom, would be a contravention of any such order, he shall be
guilty of an offence against these regulations.
(a) Offences against Hegulations.— See Introductory Note to this
Manual.
(bj Taking Possession of Growing Crops.— Regulation 2b is valid and
under it any of the Departments on whom it confers specific powers can give a
valid notice to take possession of growing crops when gathered. See Lipton
Limited v. Ford: lid Law Times Reports 632 j 33 Times Lam Beports 459. It
would seem (see view expressed by Atkins, J.) that the Regulation does not
authorise the Departments to send men tO gather the crops themselves.
(c) Aiding or Abetting.— Regulation 48 of the Defence of the Realm
Regulations makes it an offence to attempt to commit or to procure, aid or abet
or do any act preparatory to the commission of any act prohibited by the
Regulations.

The Food Controller may by order direct that any action in
contravention of, or failure to comply with, this regulation or
any order or requirement thereunder, shall, instead of being an
offence, be a summary offence against these regulations, (a,) and
this regulation shall have effect accordingly.

the fixing of maximum and minimum prices) where it appears
to him necessary or expedient to make any such order tor the
purpose of encouraging or maintaining the food supply of the
country, and making such provisions as to entry, inspection, or
otherwise as appear to him necessary or expedient for the purpose
of his duties.
(2) The Food Controller may by order require all or any persons
owning or having power to sell or dispose of any article, or any
stocks thereof, to place at the disposal of the Controller the article,
or the whole or any part of the stocks thereof, as may be directed
by the Controller, on such terms as he may direct, and to deliver
to the Controller or to any person or persons named by him the
article or stocks in such quantities and at such times as the Con-
troller may requij^, where it appears to him necessary or
expedient to make any such order for the purpose of encouraging
or maintaining the food supply of the country.
Such compensation shall be paid for any article or stocks so
requisitioned as shall, in default of agreement, be determined by
the arbitration of a single arbitrator appointed in manner pro-
vided by the order ; but in determining the amount of the compen-
sation the arbitrator shall have regard to the cost of production
of the article and to the allowance of a reasonable profit, without
necessarily taking into consideration the market price of the
article at the time.

(5) If any person acts in contravention of ot fails to comply
with any provision of any order made under this regulation, or
aids or abets any other person, whether or not such other person is
in the United Kingdom, in doing anything which, if done in the
United Kingdom, would be a contravention of any such pro-
vision, such person shall be guilty of a summary offence against
these regulations. (b)(c)

books) as the officer may consider necessary for testing the
accuracy of the return or for obtaining any such information.

the Proclamation or Order were in force. See s. 3 (1) of the Customs (War
Powers) Act, 1916 (6 & 7 G. 5. c. 102).
(b) Offences by Company Directors, &c.— Regulation 48a of the Defence
of the Realm Regulations provides that every director and officer of a corporation
or company shall be guilty of an offence against the Regulations committed by
his corporation or company unless he proves that the act constituting the offence
took place without his knowledge or consent.
(c) Information as to Contravention of Orders. — Information regard-
ing Contravention of Orders should be given to the police or to an officer of the
local authority and not to the Ministry of Food. As to disclosing contraven-

the fore^rning provision':; of this Order in the same way as they
apply to proceedings under those Acts.(o)
(a) Provisions of Sale of Food and Drugs Acts as to Warranties
AND Invoices.— S. 25 of the 1875 Act (38 & 39 Yict. c. 63) provides that if
a defendant in any prosecution under that Act proves that he bought the article
in the same state as sold and with a warranty he shall be discharged. There
must be some writing connecting the particular consignment with the warranty.
A series of reported cases turn on the question as to whether an invoice amounts
to a warranty and it would seem that it does so amount if it contains a state-
ment guaranteeing the article, provided that it can be regarded as the actual
contract of sale.
S. 7 of the Margarine Act, 1887 (50 & 51 Vict., c. 52), makes provision
as to warranties, and s. 12 of that Act provides for proceedings thereunder
being the same as are prescribed by ss. 12 to 28 of the Sale of Food and
Drugs Act, 1875.
S. 20 of the 1899 Act (62 & 63 Vict. c. 51) provides that a warranty or invoice
shall not be available as a defence unless the defendant sends a copy thereof to
the purchaser within 7 days after service of the summons and makes further
provision as to wnrranties.

necessary or expedient to make arty such order for the purpose
of encouraging or maintaining the food supply of the country :

Intoxicating Liquor {Output and Delivery) Order, 1917, 175
as amended.
And whereas it appears to the Food Controller to be expedient,
for the purpose of encouraging and maintaining the food supply
of the country, to extend the existing restrictions on the output,
delivery, and distribution of beer and other intoxicating liquor,
in manner appearing in this Order. (a)
Now, therefore, in pursuance of his powers under the said
regulations and all other powers enabling him in that behalf,
the Food Controller hereby orders, as follows: —

any quarter more than the maximum barrelage for the quarter(b) on output
as determined under this Order. ^^^'
(2) The maximum barrelage shall be determined for the pur-
poses of this Order in the same manner as under the Output of
Beer (Tlestriction) Acts, 1916, (c) except that —
(a) in ascertaining the standard barrelage under subsection
(2) of Section two of the Output of Beer (Restriction)
Act, 1916, 66§ per cent, shall be substituted as the
amount of reduction where 15 per cent, is under that
provision the amount of reduction, and 72 per cent,
shall be substituted as the amount of reduction where
30 per cent, is under that provision the amount of
reduction; and
(6) ten million barrels shall be substituted for twenty-six
million barrels as the rate of the total output of
beer in the United Kingdom under the proviso to
subsection (2) of Section two of that Act; and
(c) in determining the maximum barrelage for the quarter
commencing on the first day of April, 1917, or any
subsequent quarter, any surplus barrelage accrued in
respect of any quarter previous to that commencing

into account.
(a) Relief in respect of Restriction of Business caused by Order. —
As from March 31st, 1917, the holders of wholesale dealers' licences and of
retailers' on-licences and off-licences for spirits, beer or wine, and of (annual)
passenger vessel licences are entitled on the expiration of their licences to repay-
ment of Tgth of the licence duty for every month or part of a month during the
currency of both the Order and the licence. This relief is in lieu of that con-
ferred by the Acts of 1914 and 1915 in cases where sale of liquor was curtailed.
-See Finance Act, 1917 (7 & 8 Geo. 5, c. 31), s. 7.
(b) Maximum Barrelage for Quarter commencing January 1st, 1918. —
For that quarter the maximum barrelage is increased by the Intoxicating

Excise (hereinafter referred to as the Commissioners) (a) that^

sioners may by order make the necessary transfer, and the maxi-
mum barrelages of the respective brewers shall be increased or
decreased accordingly.

as under the said Section 5, except that the percentage of
reduction in the number of standard barrels which a licence
holder is entitled to obtain under that section and the reduction
from the amount stated in the certificate for the purpose of
ascertaining the reduction and transfer of maximum barrelage
shall be increased so as to be 66| per cent, instead of 15 per cent.
(3) Any brewer who has not given to a licence holder any
particulars or certificate which the licence holder is entitled to
obtain from him under Section 5 of the Output of Beer (Restric-
tion) Act, 1916, shall give the particulars or certificate to the
licence holder within fourteen days after a request in writing
therefor is made by the licence holder.
(a) Commissioners of Customs and Excise.— This Department was
formed as from April 1, 1909, by the Excise Transfer Order, 1909 (St. R. & 0.,

obtained is either lost or for some other reason not available for

(a) Army Cattle Purchase.— The following Notice appeared in the Press
of September 1st, 1917 : — " The arrangements made for the purchase of cattle
in the United Kingdom for the feeding of the Army during the next few months
have been revised in the light of a reduction in the demands of the Army,
which were originally estimated at 250,000 head. The reduction in the weekly
purchases will be spread over the whole area, and a smaller number of stock will
be taken from England, Scotland, and Ireland. The purchases will be carried
out in England by traders nominated by the Auctioneers' Institute and in
Scotland by a Committee of auctioneers, but in Ireland the Army authorities

Note.— The Orders of February 8th, 1918, of the Food Con-
troller and of the Local Government Board were accompanied by
the following Circular (S. E. & 0., 1918, No. 277*) to County
Councils and Sanitary Authorities : —
Local Goveknment Board,
Whitehall, S.W. 1,
9th February, 1918.
Sir,
I am directed by the President of the Local Government Board
to enclose for your information copies of Orders which have been made
by the Food Controller and the Local Government Board (a) with reference
to the supply of food and milk for expectant and nursing mothers and
of milk for infants and children under five years of age. The Orders
provide that any local authority within the meaning of the Notification
of Births Act, 1907, (b) may, and when required by the Local Government
Board, shall, arrange for such a supply of food or milk, subject to the
conditions set out in the Orders.
2. With regard to infants under nine months of age it is important
that the Orders should be so administered as not to favour the abandon-
ment of breast feeding whenever this is practicable. The ofiicer referred
to in paragraph 4 should use every effort to secure the continuance of
breast feeding for such infants.
(a) Orders Referred to.— These are the Milk (Mothers and Children)
Order, 1918 (p. 401) and the Local Authorities (Food Control) Order (No. 1),
1918 (p. 403).
(b) Notification of Births Act, 1907.— 7 Edw. 7. c. 40. See also foot-
note (a) to p. 401.
Milk {Mothers and Children) Orders : — Circular to Local 405
Authorities.
3. The conditions prescribed by the Food Controller are set out in his
Order, and relate to the quantity of milk which may be given in each case
and the cases in which if may be supplied at less than cost price.
4. The quantity of food and milk provided may be prescribed by the
Medical Officer of Health or the Medical Officer of a Maternity and Child
Welfare Centre working in co-operation with the local authority, or by a
person authorised by one of these officers or appointed by the local
authority. The amount of milk should, in ordinary cases, be
(a) For children under eighteen months, not more than one and a
half pints daily.
(h) For children between eighteen months and five years, not more
than one pint daily.
' (c) For expectant and nursing mothers, the quantity specified by the
officer referred to in this paragraph.
If dried milk or preparations of milk are used the quantity should
be such as would, when properly reconstituted, approximate
to the quantities of fresh milk given above.
5. The cases in which food or milk may be supplied at less than cost
price are those in which the officer referred to in paragraph 4, certifies
that such provision is necessary and that the women supplied cannot ,
afford to pay the full price. The Board leave to the discretion of the
local authority the direction to the officer as to what should constitute a
necessitous case. In some districts a scale has been adopted based on the
income of the family after taking into account the number of the children.
6. In providing dinners for expectant and nursing mothers the local
authority should not supply or arrange for the supply of any food which
is the subject of an Order of the Food Controller or of a scheme made by a
local food committee under such an Order with regard to rationing without
consultation with the local food committee.
7. In some cases the Board have already sanctioned schemes submitted
to them by local authorities for the provision of food and milk for ex-
pectant and nursing mothers and of milk for infants and young children
in anticipation of the powers conferred by the Orders. Where no scheme
has yet been submitted the Board hereby sanction the provision of food
and milk by the local authority from the date of their Order on the con-
ditions laid down in the circular and on the further condition that the
arrangements made and an estimate of the cost up to the 31st March,
1918, are communicated to them at an early date. Where a local authority
wishes to vary the conditions laid down the Board's sanction ■ should be
previously obtained. The Board's grant for maternity and child welfare
is available in respect of expenditure on the purposes of the Orders, and
will amount to half the expenditure on the approved scheme. Application
for the grant may be made after the 31st March next in connection with
the general grant for maternity and child welfare.
8. It is open to the local authority to arrange for the supply of food
and milk under the Orders by a voluntary agency engaged in maternity
and child welfare work in their district. In such a case the Board suggest
that the local authority should pay the expenditure of the voluntary
agency in supplying food and milk at less than cost price, and should
apply to the Board in due course for a grant in aid of the expenditure.
9. The Board trust that the local authority, if they have not already
done so, will at once consider the needs of their district in respect of the ^
provision of food for expectant and nursing mothers and of milk for these
mothers and for children under five, both in regard to the ability of the
women concerned to pay for the necessary food and milk and to the
sufficiency of the supply of milk. Where the supply is insufficient the
local authority should urge the local food committee to take action under
the Prioritv Scheme of the Food Controller.
4:06 General Licences under Milk {Registration of Dealers) Order,
1918; Milk {Summer Prices) Order, 1918.
10. The Board learn from the Food Controller that some of a stock of
dried milk which he purchased last year is still undisposed of. As indi-
cated in the enclosed letter which he circulated last autumn, this milk can
be supplied to Medical Officers of Health, Infant Welfare Centres and
other similar institutions at cost price. Where difficulty exists in obtain-
ing an adequate supply of fresh or dried milk for mothers and young
children locally, the local authority should avail themselves of the Food
Controller's offer. The Orders apply to such milk, and the Board's grant
is available in respect of expenditure in supplying it on the same conditions
as obtain for fresh milk supplied under the Orders.

(a) Modifications of Potatoes Order. — The Potatoes (Postponement of
Date) Order, 1917, varied the dates in Clauses 4, 11 and 12 (a) of the Potatoes
Order which is here printed as thus varied. The Seed Potatoes (1917 Crop)
Order, 1917 (p. 486), makes various modifications in the present Order in its
application to seed potatoes dealt in as for seed besides those specific amendments
which are embodied in the Order as here printed. The Potatoes (Amendment)
Order, 1918, varies the prices and charges for transport, etc. The amending
Order of June 12, 1918, substituted the Second Schedule as here printed

of the potato trade at all stages by prescribing (Art. 28) a maximum grower's

trol applies in general as from 8th October, 1917. A Notice by the Food
Controller appearing in the Press of September *13th, 1917, states that the
grower's maximum price will hold good until further notice, but will be adjusted
if necessary later in the season to compensate for the wastage and expense
involved in keeping back potatoes that have good lasting quality.

different qualities of potatoes, but —
(a) every such resolution shall be reported to the Food Con-

period cannot be used later without permission of the Food
Committee, even though the butcher has been unable to supply
the full ration in the proper coupon period.

uncooked bacon and ham, and bones thereof.
14. A general butcher must divide his supplies of butcher's
meat (including pork) as fairly as possible between his regis-
tered customers. He is not bound to supply the full ration to
first comers unless he is certain of having enough to give full
rations to all.
16. These directions do not affect sales to Residential Estab-
lishments, Catering Establishments or Institutions in accordance
with special directions issued to such establishments, or sales
on a Seaman's meat card in accordance with any directions
issued for such sales.
16. A general butcher must keep prominently displayed in his
shop a copy of such parts of the official Table of Equivalent
Weights of Meat for the time being in force as relate to all kinds
of meat sold by him.
