SUBSTITUTE PRICES
HERE MEET AVERAGE

With housewives and consumers
all over the state questioning the
legitimacy of the prices of wheat
substitutes. the United States Food
Administration for Colorado has re-
Gently made the announcement that
the cost of wheat flour here 10 low
er than in any state in the Union ex-
cept Oregon. and that the average
prices of the substitute grains II
practically level with the prices Of
all the other states.
Substitute grains are not raised In
Colorado to any great extent and
their cost with freight and other
charges added is bound to make the
price of products from these grains
relatively higher than the price of
wheat.
Considerable hope is being felt in
food administration offices through
out the state that with increased
manufacture and improved methods
the price of substitutes will gradu-
ally be lowered until a nomal price
has been established.
The Ordway new era., 1918-06-21

For violation of the substitute rule
and the rule against the placing Of
sugar bowls upon the tables. Rein
hard Mueller. owner of the Vienna
Bakery and Restaurant, was ordered
70 close his shop for one week by
the U. S. Food Administration.
Mueller was granted a hearing be-
fore the food administration execu-
tive. Robert J. Grant. His only de-
fense was that he did not under
stand the regulations.
The penalty imposed upon Muel-
Ter was the first of its kind since the
organization of the food administ-a-
tion and followed a recent ordsr
from Washington against the tnflie-
tion of money fines upon violators.

SUGAR BOWL
IS BAN!SHED

The old time-honored sugar bowl
his disappeared from Colorado
tables. Facing an intensive canning
and storage season which will prob
ably be unequaled In the history of
the country. together with a re-
duced beet acreage, the U. S. Food
Administration for Colorado waved
Its food control wand and sugar
bowlless meals were established.
According to J. N. Bundick, chair
man of the sugar division OF the
food administration, action of this
nature was necessary to insure a
sufficient supply of sugar to meet
the increased demand of the can
ming season.
"In the Colorado sugar store
houses there is a vast amount of
sugar. but that amount must be
available for shipping when demands
come and when II is possible to OBJ
tain cars. Beet sugar production of
the United States during the coming
year will be approximately 5O0,0OO,-
900 pounds less than last; Cuban
sugar supply. owing to numerous
causes among which are transporta-
tion. political unrest and general war
conditions is rapidly decreasing. And
sugar conservation now is VITAL"
stated Burdick.
The new sugar regulations allow
consumers to have two teaspoonsful
or two Jumps of sugar to one cup of
tea. coffee or ice tea. and two tea
spoonsful of sugar to each additional
service of fruits. cereals or so forth.
No sugar is allowed for pie puddings
or any food to which sugar has al
ready been added.
