FRENCH RATIONS
NO MEAT AFTER 3 P.M. The French Government has issued new decrees restricting the sale of foodstuffs in another move to guard against shortage of supplies this winter because of transportation difficulties and absence of imports. Restaurants were prohibited from serving fish or cheese in the same meal with meats, and from serving any meat, fowl, or rabbit after 3 p.m. During August, ration-card coupons will be required to purchase specified articles which are particularly short and which may be bought only in limited amounts, such as: 500 grams (slightly over one pound) of sugar; 250 grams of spaghetti, macaroni, etc.; 100 grams (about ounces) of rice; 125 grams (less than 4£ ounces) of soap, and 200 grams about 7 ounces) of margarine or vegetable oils.
