BREADSTOFFS
NEW YORK, June 11.—The amount of materials annually used in the United Kingdom of Great Britain for the manufacture of alcoholic beverages has been reduced from 1,856,000 tons before the beginning of the war to 512,000 tons at present, according to a statement issued here by the British Pictorial Service.
All the materials now being used for this purpose, it is stated, are utilized in brewing beer.
"During the past year," the memorandum says, "no manufacture of spirits for human consumption has been permitted, and no further manufacture is at present contemplated."
It is pointed out that about one-third of the materials used are not of a kind that could be used as a human food, and that about one-quarter to one-third of the weight of the original materials is recovered in the form of brewers' and distillers' grains, malt combings for cattle food, and in the form of yeast for preparing human food.
"No unmalted barley is now in the hands of the brewers or malsters," says the statement. "The whole of the existing stocks of unmalted grain were requisitioned for breadstuffs on February 23 last."
Rations compulsorily imposed in the United Kingdom are enumerated as follows:
"Meat, including chicken, all kinds of game, etc., not exceeding one and one-fourth pounds per week. There will be supplementary rations for those engaged in hard labor.
"Butter and margarine, one-fourth pound of either, not both, per week.
"Sugar, half pound per week.
"There are many other restrictions, such as the restrictions of wheat in bread, of feeding cereals to livestock, in the uses of milk, etc.
