 EFFECTIVE TODAY
COVE ER RNMENT MORE LIBERAL AND FEWER SUBSTITUTES ARE
 REQUIRED TO BE USED
Any Foolish Appearing Arbitrary Rules Promoted by Individuals or Locality net Endorsed by the Food Administration.

| Food Administrator Hamp Williams yesterday made announcement of the lnew flour rules effective today, and which require much less percentage | of substitutes in use than heretofore The administrations orders are all
 based on the requirements of saving
 for government use, and this applies
 not alone to flour, but 10 all other
 hlngs under the government rules. | The administrator orders are based
 on reasonable requirements, and when | Individuals or in some locality an or
 der is promulgated not in keeping with | the general rule, that order is not au~ | lthorized by the administration. The following are the new floGr | rules:
 The new rules go into effect Sep tember 1st It has been agreed that wheat bread of our allies shall con tain 20 per cent other grains than wheat and it is only ust that we should bear our share in the saving. Ii Is Inecessary that we rely very largely OH Allt NOlhiiAdlg dCliOtl bl ONl upAii'7 flo enforce this mixture, which shall
 consist of four pounds of wheat flour
 to one pound of barley flour or four
 pounds of wheat flour to one pound of
 crn flour, CT eight pounds wheat
 flour to one pound barley and one is used in the mixture use three pounds whea! flour to two pounds rye flour
 Whole wheat or graham flour shall contain 95 per cent of the wheat berry Any of the mixtures heretofore men toned are called Victory mixed flour and may be sold or used without any other substitutes but not to be sOl1 at no greater price by the miller, wholesaler or retailer than standard wheat flour; corn meal for straight corn bread should be purchased sep arately from combination sales and when corn meal is purchased as a sub stitute, it should be mixed with the wheat flour before baking and not used separately for baking corn bread. We sincerely hope that the people of Arkansas will continue in the conser- vation of wheat flour by eating corn bread
 When corn meal or rye flour is bought as q substitute. you must buy two pounds rye flour or corn meal to three pounds wheat flour Whers substitutes are bought to mix with wheat flour, you should buy in the of one pound to four pounds wheat flour substitutes used in this com bination are as follows. Kaf!ir flour. milo flour, feterita flour, corn meal, rice flour oat flour, peanut floul, bean flour potato flour, sweet potato flour, buck wheat flour or corn flour
 The retail dealers selling standard wheat flour are required to carry Tn stock either barley flour, corn meal or corn flour but no other substitute can be forced upon the consumers. Other substitutes may be sold if agreeable to the consumer but with every sale of wheat flour they must sell a com bination of some one or more of these substitutes to each four pounds wheat flour No dealer may force any other except corn meal, corn flour or barley flour in combination upon the consumer unless authorize. To do so by the State Food Admins Irator in writing
 Farmers are exempt from this ruleI provided they have the substitutes on| hand and will sign certificate to that effect and will agree to us6 them in| accordance with the rules of the FoodI Administration. If it is corn meal theyI nave they must Use two pounds mea .o the thrce pounds wheat flour.
