NEW FLOUR REGULATIONS

In announcing the new wheat reg
ulatiOns which supercede the famil-
lar 'fifty-flfty" rule. Federal Food
Administrator w. B. Aver calls the
attention of Oregon households to the
fact that all the cereals cassed as
substitutes under the new regulations
are suitable for mixing into breads,
pastry cakes etc, and that the Food
Administration IN releasing the con
sumner from the "fifty-fifty" rule
expects every housewife to see to il
that the full twenty percent of sub
5titutes purchased with wheat flour
is mixed in the family baking, and
that no bread, pastry, cake, dump
ling or other edible In which wheat
flour is used be mixed without the
proper one-fifth portion OF substitute.
Formerly the substitute list in
cluded several cereals, such as rolled
oats and rice. that could be used In
other ways" said Mr.. Aver, but un-
der the. new regulations all the sub
stitutes are suitable and intended to
be mixed into the family bread, pie
crust. etc. A rigid adherence to this
rule should be observed I'm every
household. Many will be glad to aid
the Food Administration in a still
further saving of wheat by the liberal
use OF corn bread and other wheat
less or nearwheatless breads. It is
very necessary that a national food
reserve be built up, and very practi-
cal help towards this important re-
serve can be given by families who
viii not only use all their substitutes
in their breads and pastries, but will
do even better, by keeping their use
OF wheat to the minimum in every
way and seeing to It that not an
ounce Of food OF any kind Is wasted" ="
