NEW FLOUR RULING
EFFECTIVE MONDAY
COUNTY FOOD ADMINISTRA-
TOR ANNOUNCES SEW
ERAL CHANGES.

Russell Brown, Carter County
food administrator, announced yes
terday that limitation in the quan-
tity OF flour sold to the consumer
will be removed under the new
regulations effective tomorrow. Mr.
Browns communication follows:
The following regulations in re-
gard to the purchase and sale OF
flour will be effective tomorrow:
Flour that it put up by mills as
containing twenty percent substi-
tutes, where it is so branded, may
be sold without substitutes. All
pure white flour is to be sold with
out substitutes. All pure white
flour is to be sold with one pound
Of substitute for each four pounds
of flour, and mixed flours will be on
the market which will enable the
consumer to purchase the mixed
flour without purchasing additional
substitutes.
All bakers products will have at
least twenty percent of substitutes.
All retail dealers selling standard
wheat flour will be required to car
ry in stock either barley flour, corn
meal or corn flour, which substi-
tutes may be sold in the proportion
of one pound to each four pounds
OF wheat flour and no dealer will
be permitted to force any other sub
stitutes in combination upon the
consumer.
Exception to this will be where
in certain localities other substi-
tutes are used, the dealers may sell
the following combinations using
kaffr flour, milo flour, feterita
flour, and may sell rice flour, oat
flour, peanut flour, bean flour, po-
tato lour, sweet potato flour and
buckwheat flour. Where rye flour
is used as a substitute it may be
sold in the proportion OF two pounds
of rye with each three pounds of
wheat flour.
As the result Of this arrangement
all limitation as to quantity of sale
to the consumer is removed. In this
connection, attention is called to
the fact that the removal of the
restriction does not mean that con-
sumers should in any way vase or
use more flour than is absolutely
necessary. The food admiuistra-
ton is doing this because it feels
that the people can now be relied
upon to exercise the individual in
terest that must be felt in order TO
win the war.
Everyone is restricted to econo-
mize in all foods, particularly wheat
and sugar. Therefore, consumers,
in purchasing what products. to keep
in mind the fact that every ounce
OF wheat saved places the nation in
that much better condition to win
the war. The patriotism of every
individual, merchant and consumer,
is particularly appeal TO and the
food administrator sincerely hopes
that each will respond in such a way
that this can be carried on under 4
voluntary plan entirely.

Americans in their rear, they find it
extremely difficult to get away their
guns and stores OF material and to
pull back troops from exposed sec
tors. Thus they are obliged to keep
more men facing the foe to cover
their retreat.
This unquestionably is exactly
what Foch wants. His business is
to kill and capture Germans first.
With that accomplished, he knows
that the redemption OF territory will
take care of itself. He may turn the
German retirement into rout in
stead of a retread, He may compel,
ultimately, a far greater retreat than
the Germans intended. Always, he
will kill and capture Germans.

HINDERING THE RETREAT

1t is one of the paradoxes OF the
war that the speed of the great Ger
man retreat is retarded by the very
yigor with which Foch is pressing
the enemy. The Germans undoubt-
edly want to withdraw, all along the
line. to safer and stronger positions.
There are many signs OF intent to
withdraw far to the rear. They
would, in all probability. move a
great deal faster if the allies would
LET them alone for little while.

Political dopsters who have been
figuring on the result OF the con-
gressional elections next fall are re-
viving their estimates. No one now
on either side is predicting a sweep
ing majority, practically all leaders
agreeing that the majority, one way
or the other, in the next congress
will be a narrow one. Democratic
leaders are now almost as confident
OF 4 Democrat majority as Repub-
licans OF a Republican majority.
They claim that the sentiment of
the people is for congress in SYM
pathy with the president rather than
for congress out OF sympathy with
him.
