ONLY WAR BREAD To lsE HAD
UNDER NEW ORDER

Orders issued to the millers OF the
United States to Concsrye the sup
ply of wheat are to result in what
is known as war bread, to be made
something on the order OF the so
called "wholc-whcat" flour bread.
The order is effective at 1901 Il. IN.
Wednesday of this geek. require all
milcrs to use only 264 pounds of
wheat in the making of a l96-pound
barrel OF flour. whereas formerly
they used ESQ pounds Of wheat in
making 192-pound barrel Of flour
The effect Of the ruling in wheat l.
To use 16 pounds less " wheat Tor
every barrel of fluor and yet max
four more pounds of flour. and this
is expected to save sixteen million
bushels of wheat in the Nation.
Under former rulings millcrs were
allowed to manufacture an unlimited
number of grades" of flour. Now
only one grade may be made. which
will be about equal to what is called
sccond-grade flour under old prac-
tices.
The Government allows five per
cent of tho low" grade of the flour
to be removed. but 1t must not be
thrown away. but shall be sold as
flour. Millcrs state that there would
I've no sale for this grade. and IL is
unlikely that any of them will make
the division.
According To T.. W. Stewart. of
the Durant Grain and Elevator Com
pany. the new flour will he darker
and make IA little darker loaf than
the ordinary white flour. but should
he equally as nutritious. If not more
SO. in tact.
The gist Of the whole business ~
that millers instead OF making white
flour shorts and bran from wheat,
he millers must work up the shorts
into the flour. and stick to one grade
of the article.
There is only about two or thre"
weeks supply nj white flour on hand
in the country, after which tn" pub
lie will have TO use bread made from
the new war flour.
