breakfast cereals, containing a total
of more than two ounces Of wheat
-four. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds Of wheat products for

one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter Of barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and in no case to sell wheat
products without the sale Of an equal
