THE SCARCITY OF FOOD. Cmi«D PitEßf* AesoouTim* ' Berlin, June 26. Dr. Batocki, food:4]ctator, states tli.it the'temporary prohibition of consumption of meat, may perhaps be expected to last until September. New meat tickets are being issued to-day, allowing ten ounces of meat per head weekly. Bread ratings to the working classes would be increased in August. The bread reserve upon which the country is now living, can only be made possible by economy of grain under the War Department. If the Central Purchase Company had been unsuccessful iu regard to imports of grain, we would have been seriously embarrassed. Much depends upon the result of the harvest as to whether the present rations can he continued. The cold weather during May has done dam- 1 - age, but the crops promise good yields if the harvest weather is good. Dr. Batocki considers that communal feeding in large towns is desirable.
