The average man in Britain, even after thirteen months of the war, has felt the effects of rationing so little that he could not tell you, without consulting his wife or hi shopkeeper, the exact amounts of the rationed commodities he i: allowed per week. He would not know how much butter he is ai lowed, how much bacon. Even if he were to knów how much sugar, he would have realized by now that one lump per cup of tea is quite sufficient! The business man finds he can still get his steak or chop as in the old days when he discussed football instead of fighting planes at the city luncheon table. There is bacon for breakfast as there always was, and plenty of tea and buttered toast in the afternoon.
