Thirteen million men between The
ages of lS and 45 for war service

ALL WHEATLESS DAYS
ARE OFF.
Beginning Sunday $3.50 Rule
TO Be Reduced To 1920.
Victory Bread For All Allies
Now Is Assured.
Bumper Crop Leads Hoover
TO Relax the Main
Regulations.

Washington. Aug. 28 : Uni
versal war bread for all the ma
tons arrayed against the Central
Powers, Is provided for in new
regulations announced by Food
ADMINISTRATOR Hoover today, un
der which wheat -four restrictions
in the United States are relaxed
and the allies given bread contain
ing more wheat than they have
had since the early days of the
war. The regulations are effect
i've September /, and wheatless
days and wbeatless meals will be
discontinued, on that date.
Under the international bread
policy formed by the Allied food
councils IN London, food made for
the allies will be made OF mixed
-four containing so peIcent wheat
tonr and 20 percent substitute
cereals. The present baking regu
latlOns 10 conflict with the new
plan are resclDded, including the
half and half controlling -four
sales to house holders and permit
ting bakers to use only 70 percent
of their normal supply Of wheat
flour.
All ratiOnlng OF bread among
the allied nations will be discOnti
nued aud plenty of the new "victO
ry bread" 10 assured the civil pop
ulatiOn at a time when the wheat
IN Germany and Austria is every
thing but promising.
Ready mixed -four in the pre-
parations allowed by the food al
ministration in accordance with
it's milling standards will be avail
able for purchase holders, although
this is not compulsory. They are
urged, however, to buy the ready
mixed victory flour, but where
pure wheat flour is purchased the
regulations require retailers to
sell 20 percent of substitute at the
same time to each purchaser. The
food administration relies on
house holders voluntarily TO mix
their bread 10 the 80 90 prepara
tion required OF bakers.
All so.calIed victory hours may
be sold without substitutes, the
regulations provide, but at no
greater price from the miller,
wholesaler or retailer than in the
case of standard wheat -four.
Whole wheat or graham -four
may be used without substitutes,
but it must contain at least 95 per
cent of the wheat berry.
MANUFACTURERS LIMITATIONS.
Manufacturers of alimeDtary
pastes and wheat before the goods
are limited to their normal con
sumption of wheat or wheat -four
with the understanding that they
are not to unduly expend their or
binary consumption and rules pro
hlbitiDg the starting Of new plants
ready for operation prior to July l,
1918 are rescinded.
Ability to provide the allies
with new bread and relaxation OF
the restrictions on wheat In Amer
lea, officials of the food admins
tration declared today, was made
possible by the sacrifices made by
the American people and the
bumper wheat crop raised by the
farmers.
