LONDON ON CARD RATION London, Feb. 26.—The new plan of food distribution went Into effect yesterday and every person who de sired to make purchases of meat, butter or margarine was required to produce a ration card. The food ministry announces that no complaints have been received, and that the plan is working smooth ly. Persons of the poorer classes appear to be well pleased with the change, because they are no longer compelled to stand in long lines at the markets. The restaurants and hotels offered meat dishe? for luncheon as usual, but few purchased them. At one of the largest restaurants only four meat orders were served, and at others few, if any, were dispensed. As butter and margarine virtually disappeared long ago. in the restau rants, the rationing plan is little noticed, except in homes where the distribution is more even. to feel Fresh and Fit —you must keep your stom ach well, your liver active, the bowels regular, and your blood pure.
