LOSING WEIGHT.
GERMAN FOOD SHORTAGE
("Times" Cable.) ! (Press Assn. —Rv-ed. 5.20 p.m.) LONDON, October 11. ■Mr Curtin writes: "The German food problem is not serious, but it is extremely uncomfortable. Some importations are plentiful, particularly chocolate, Dutch cheese, Scotch whisky. There are also plenty of sardines, Baltic fish, freak foods, seal meat and Polar bear flesh. There is a lack of fat and oil and this is the greatest problem, despit e various substitutes such as sunflower and sardine oils. The whole nation is growing thinner. Food gifts ar c now the best presents between friends and the increasing theft of food tickets indicates the growing acuteness of the shortage.
