SIGN PLEDGE TO CARRY OUT FOOD ADMINISTRATION

POST CARDS IN STORES.
Explain New Wheat Ruling to Thousands of Customers-In-
 sures Greater Food Saving.

Grocers of the nation have accepted enthusiastically the 5O-5O basis for the purchase of wheat flour and are doing their utmost to explain the new regu lation to the housewife. This ruling by the U. S. Food Administration requires each purchaser of wheat flour to buy one pound of cereal substitute, one kind or assorted, for every pound o1 wheat flour. It was necessary to re strict the use of wheat flour in order that the allies and our fighting forces abroad might be assured of an ade quate supply of wheat to meet theil vital needs. This supply must come from our savings because we have al ready sent our normal surplus.
 Wheat saving pledge cards were for warded by the Food Administration tc all retail food merchants, and these are being signed and posted in stores throughout the country. This cart states, We pledge ourselves loyalty tt carry out the Food Administration pro gram. In accordance with this order we will not sell any wheat flour excep where the purchaser buys an equa weight of one or more of the following q greater use of which in the home will save wheat:
 "Cornmeal, corn four, edible corr starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour potato flour, sweet potato four soy bean four, feterita flour and meals rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats an( buckwheat four"
 Some confusion has resulted on the part of the consumer in cOnStruing this "50-50" ruling to mean that ar equal amount in value of substitutes must be purchased with wheat flour This is a mistaken idea. The ruling states that the consumer in purchasing flour shall "buy at the same time ar equal weight of other cereals"
 One exception to this ruling is con corning graham flour and whole wheat flour, which may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds o1 because approximately 25 per cent more of the wheat berry is used in the manufacture of these fleurS than stand ard wheat flour.
 Another exception is that concern ing mixed Hours containing less than 90 per cent. of wheat flour, which may be sold without substitutes. Retailers however, are forbidden to sell mixed Hours containing more than 50 per cent. of wheat flour to any person un less the amount of wheat flour substi tutes sold is sufficient to make the to tal> amount of substitutes, including those mixed in Hours, equal to the to- tai amount in wheat flour in the mixed flour. For instance. if any mixed fioul is purchased containing 60 per cent wheat flour and 40 per cent. substi tutes it is necessary that an additiona 20 per cent. of substitutes be pur chased. This brings 1t to the basis o1 one pound of substitutes for eacf pound of wheat four.
 A special exemption may be granted upon application in the case of special ly prepared infants and invalids' foot containing flour where the necessity Ii shown.
 Some misunderstanding seems to ex ist on the part of consumers in assum ing that with the purchase of whea flour one must confine the additiona

The fact that American troops
were in the trenches in Lorraine was
revealed by the German war office
three months ago. At that time, ac-
cording to an official German an
nouncement the Americans were on
the front at the Rhine-Marne canal,
which intersects the battle line near
the German border, due east of
Nancy. This announcement was
made in the official report from Ber-
lin Of the first German raid on the
American positions, in which three
Americans were killed, Ave wounded
and twelve captured.
The eastern end of the battle line
in France and Belgium runs through
French and German Lorraine. French
Lorraine, in which is the American
sector, is included in the depart
ments of Mouse, the capital Of which
is Verdun. Meurthe- Ell Moselle,
whose capital is Nancy, and Vosges
with the capital at Epinal. The
length Of the front in French Lor-
raine is about $50 miles.
This sector of the battle line ex-
tended into the Meuse from the
Marine near ST MenehOuld and runs
eastward to the north of Verdun,
south of st. Mihiel and east to the
German border. There is turns to
the southeast and almost parallels
the border to the vicinity of Leintry
Below Leintry it cuts across a sec
ton of French soil, past Badonvillier
and Senones and to the east Of st.
Die and again crosses the German
border at a point west Of Colmar.
The remainder Of the line to the
Swiss boundary is in Germany.
Since the battle of Verdun, there
has been no fighting of great i'm
portance along this front. For the
most part it runs through high and
broken country. Since the present
battle line was established early in
the war there has been comparative
ly little activity on the front to the
east of the Verdun sector, the nature
of the country making large operations
