The Natchitoches enterprise. (Natchitoches, La.) 1888-1965, 1918-05-02

Some confusion has resulted or the
part OF the consumer In constituting
this "50-50' ruling to mean that an
eQn& fzbUs1f li5 D d Substitutes
must be purchased with wheat -four.
This is q mistaken idea The ruling
states that the consumer in purchasing
-four shall ''buy at the same time an
equal weight Of other cereals.
N,a8 ez1Bffi0n f0 rms FUI1ns ~ con-
SEEMING graham -four and whole wheat
-four, which may be sold at the ratio
Of three pounds to. Eve pounds OF
wheat flour. This provision is made
because approximately % per cent
more Of the wheat berry Is used In the
manufacture Of these fours than stand
ard wheat -four.
Another exception Is that concern
ing mixed fiours containing less than
so per cent. of wheat -four, which may
be sold without substitutes. Retailers.
however, are forbidden to sell mixed
fiours containing more than 80 per
cent. Of wheat flour to any person un-
less the amount of wheat flour substi-
tutes sold is sufficient to make the to-.
tai amount OF substitutes, Including
those mixed In fours. equal to the to-
tai amount In wheat -four in the mixed
fionr. For instance. II any mixed -four
Is purchased containing 60 per cent
wheat fiour and 40 per cent substi-
tutes 1t is necessary that an additional
% per cent. of substitutes be pur.
chased. This brings It to the basis Of
one pound Of substitutes for each
pound Of wheat four.
A special exemption may besgranted
upon application In the case OF speciai-
" prepared Infants and inyalids' food
containing -four where the necessity Is
shown. -
Some MISUNDERSTANDING seems to ex'
ist on the part Of consumers In assum-
Ing that with the purchase OF wheat
fonr one must confine the additional
so per cent purchase 70 one OF the
substitutes. This 10 not the case. One
may select from the entire range OF
substitutes sufIic Nlt amount Of each

tutes equal Id t1a weight Of the wheat
