Prices have risen abnormally in Norway and Denmark and, in a lesser degree, in Sweden, which has adopted a limited .system of food tickets and maximum prices, which she is now extending owing to the scarcity of butter, flour and ,milk A fixed standard of flour will insist that 75 per cent, is extracted from the wheat. The penalty of imprisonment is provided for failure to observe the standard. The State will control grrn production next year.
