CHANGE IN FOOD RULES
Sunday New Regulations on Substi-
tutes Will Go Into Effect.

Amendments and additions to the
baking rules have been made which
will be instrumental in saving greater
quantities of wheat -four, according
to an announcement of the United
States Food Administration. These
changes will be effective Sunday.
The substitute content of all bread
and rolls must now be increased from
its 20 per cent requirement TO 25
per cent.
Under the baking rules issued Feb
ruary 1, bread and rolls were the only
bakery products that required wheat
flour substitutes, unless those prod
ucts were called Victory cakes, Vic
tory pies, and the like. Under the new
amendments and additions, all bak-
cry products must contain a certain
percentage of wheat -four substitutes.
The substitute content hereafter re-
quired in the various products fol-
lows:
Sweet yeast dough goods, 1915 per
cent: crackers, Is per cent; cookies
and ice cream cones, 1878 per cent;
cakes, 33T per cent; pies, 1915 per
cent; fried cakes. 1919 per cent; pas
try, 1873 per cent; batter cakes, waf-
fies, quick breads-such as mullins
and brown bread-6625 per cent.
Under the new rules no public eat
ing place may serve more than two
ounces of bread and rolls or more than
four ounces of quick bread to any one
person at any one meal.
With customers who buy loaf bread,
bakers are urged to promote the use
of the three-quarter pound loaf. Bak-
ers also are urged to introduce quick
breads as a wheat saving measure
These quick breads, including muf-
fins, baking powder biscuits, corn
bread, Boston brown bread, griddle
cakes and waffles, must contain two
thirds wheat flour substitutes.

EMPLOYEES BUY THRIFT STAMPS
Columbia Firms Urge Investment
One Farmer Adopts Plan.

Several Columbia firms help to
sell thrift stamps by requesting their
employees to buy one stamp each a
week, and have the stamps in the
Office where they can be easily bought.
Berry McAlester of the Boone County
Lumber Company says that his men
have readily taken to the plan. The
idea is purely voluntary, but after the
attention of the employees has been
called to the necessity for the sale Of
thrift stamps and the advantage gain
ed from the purchase. each man will
ingly buys one a week.
DR.. A. J. Bass, who owns farm near
Deer Park. has adopted the plan with
his farm laborers. He thinks it good
thing for the farmers, as it makes the
stamps more accessible 10 the men on
the farm.
