be distributed throughout the United
States to aid housekeeperB in OBJ
serving the 1918 food conservation
program of two wheatless. one meat
less and two porkless days a week as
announced in President Wilson's
proclamation.
The card, carrying an explanation
Of the weekly plan will go into eff
feet today when the bakers begin
the manufacture OF the Victory Loaf,
a war bread containing a five per
cent substitute for wheat flour. Bak-
ers are to increase the substitutes
for wheat -four until a twenty per
cent substitution is reached Feb. "a.
At the same time grocers will sell
householders wheat -four only when
the purchaser buys an equal amount
Of some other cereal. The food adj
immigration card asks every loyal
American to help win the war by
maintaining rigidly as minimum
Of saving the following program:
Have two wheatless days (Mon-
day and Wednesday, in every week
and one wheatless meal in every
day.
and on 'Wheatless meals OF other
days use no crackers, pastry, maca-
roni breakfast food or other cereal
food containing wheat and use no
wheat flour in any form except the
small amount that may be needed
for thickening soups or GRAVES, or
for a binder in corn bread and other
cereal breads. As to bread, II you
bake 1t at home, use other cereals
than wheat and If you buy 1t, buy
on 1 war bread. our object is that
we should buy and . consume one
third less wheat products than we
did last year.

Have one meatless day CTues-
dayl in every week and one meatless
meal in every day. Have two pork
