RESTAURANTS
.TOCONSERVE
WHEAT FLOUR
May Serve Bread Made En-.
tirely of Substitutes
e, Officially Ordered.

wheatIess bread for serving in res
ltaurants. hotels and other public eat
ing places has been recommended to
the District Food Administrator by
the lunchroom committee Of the ad-
ministration.
The recommendation was made In a
report of the committee. submitted to
Food Administrator Wilson yester-
day. Mr.. Wilson has announced that
he would consider the recommenda-
ton for several days before taking
any action on It.
The committee. In its report, stated
that there was immediate need of re-
ducing the amount Of wheat bread
consumed, and that the most effect
i've way Of doing this would be TO
compel all public eating places 10
serve an absolutely wheatless bread.
The committee believes that even the
different kinds of victory breads, con-
tanning from % to Is per cent Of
wheat substitutes, require the unnec-
essary use of a large quantity Of
wheat,
That the bakers Of the city can
produce an absolutely wheatless
bread, which is both nourishing and
palatable. has already been demon
strated by several Of their number,
who some time ago appeared before
the food administrator and exhibited
breads Of this kind, Of which they
declared they could produce in large
quantities, II called upon to do SO by
the food administrator. The conclu-
sion Of the committees report was as
follows:
Can supply whestIess.
I'VE know full well that the bakers
OF this city are able to supply an alb
solutely wheatless bread, which is
equal in food quality and appearance
to wheat bread. and respectfully re-
quest you TO promulgate and enforce
regulation compelling the use of
wheatIess bread in all public eating
places in this city; and we also re-
quest you to send a copy hereof to all
bakers in this city, requesting them
TO serve only wheatIess bread to all
pubHc-eating places"

committee, all Of whom are repre-
sentative restaurant and lunchroom
