Local Grocerymen
Obey Food Rules

Grocerymen in Ashland will not be
required to follow the rigid fifty
fifty order issued recently by the
federal food administrator. This leni-
ency is due to the congestion of traf-
fic and the consequent shortage in
the northwest of cornmeal and other
substitutes, and will affect the whole
state However, local grocers are
following the conservation rules laid
down to them, which is to sell sub
stitutes at the ratio of three-to-one
with every sack of wheat flour sold.
This rule which went into effect last
week must be rigidly adhered to no
matter how small the purchase of
flour, and any retailer violating it is
subject to having his supply of flour
Immediately cut off, and wholesalers
are forbidden to make further sales
to the offending retailer.
1T is only matter of educating
the TASTE" remarked one of the local
grocerymen the other day. 1T is
actually no hardship to do without
wheat flour and white bread. We are
used to it, and that is the reason
We cling to it, but if the war does
nothing else for the good of mankind
II will make us who remain at home
a healthier and better living race of
people.
There arc so many substitutes
that can be used for wheat" he con-
tinued, that we need not tire of any
enc thing. Taking into consideration
all the flours from grains other than
wheat, the cereals made from these
grains into appetizing forms and the
unlimited supply of vegetables at our
disposal, We should not growl about
the loss CT white bread. We shall
have to make the best of it, anyhow,
as from now on no pure wheat flour
will be manufactured. The present
sale of a substitute on the three-to-
one ratio is simply letting US down
gently and educating us into the use
of dark flour to which we are bound
to come"
