effective last Monday:
Bread bakers will be allowed for
the first six months so per cent Of
the 1917 consumption for that period

"The food administration requests
that all bakers produce as many va

mote, advertise and encourage the use
thereof.
mo cracker baker can use for short
ening in spone goods, greater pro-

that cracker bakers, in filing govern
ment orders for crackers, hard breads,
ETC., must fill them from the percent
age Of wheat flour that they are per-
mitted to bake in 1918.
This will, from a commercial point
Of view, not make government con-
tracts particularly desirable, but
naturally all cracker bakers will take
pIeasue in giving government wants
first consideration.
''The government is now considering
the advisability of allotting hard
