reals other than wheat. Graham or
whole wheat bread will also be
given that name, because, contain
ing, as they do, twenty-five per cent.
more of the wheat grain than or
dinary white bread, they too will
serve the purpose of saving wheat
-four
wheat substitutes; If you buy it,
buy only Victory bread.
Third. Manufacturers of maca-
roni, spaghetti, noodles, crackers,
breakfast foods, pie, cake and pas
try are not to purchase to exceed
seventy per cent. of the wheat flour
they used during the corresponding
months of 1917. These manufac-
turers will be performing a patrio-
tic service by using cereals other
than wheat in their productions.
Regulations for Wholesalers
Fourth. Wholesalers will be re-
quired, under license regulations,
not to buy more than seventy per
cent of their purchases of flour
from millers as based on their pur-
chases for the corresponding months
of the preceding year, and their
sales to the retail trade must be in
the proportion of 'one pound of
wheat flour to one pound of other
cereals, this being the same proper
ton in which the retailer sells to
the consumer, unless the wholesaler
satisfies himself that the substitutes
lave been alrady purchased from
another source.
"A ruling has been made that in
making any combination sales under
this program dealers shall name n
price for each of the articles so
sold which shall not represent more
than a normal e-war-profit on
any one of the articles sold.
Fifth. Miilers of -four are to
distribute their output through their
customary channels and markets in
such a manner that each city. town
and district may receive its usual
proportion. The wheat millers have
been required to produce one barrel
Of -four from 264 pounds of wheat.
This Is white -four and represents
higher extraction than from last
years harvest.
Two "WhcatlCss" Days
Sixth. To assist further in con-
servation, Monday and Wednesday
oil each week are to be observed as
wheatless days, and one meal of each
day as a wheatless meal. This APP
plies both In the home and in the
public eating place, and ION such
udyS anu IHedlS no CEdChSIS, pas
tries, macaroni, breakfast foods or
ether cereals containing wheat
should be used. The only exception
to this is such small amounts of
-four as may be needed for thicken-
ing soups or gravies or as n binder
in corn bread or other cereal bread.
Seventh. On wheatless days, and
at wheatless meals. the food admin
istration urges that bread baked in
the home be other than wheat bread.
Where bread is purchased either for
use in public eating places or in the
home, Victory bread should be used,
If no wheat substitutes can be found.
The Federal food administration
in each state will announce the meal
to be served as a wheatless meal in
his state. If no meal is designated
the United Stated food administra-
ton prefers that the evening meal
be wheatless.
Eighth. 1t is further desired, in
order that meat and pork products
be conserved, that one meatless day
(Tuesday) in every week, and one
meatless meal in every day be OBJ
served and, in addition. two pork
less days (Tuesday and Saturday,
in every week, be strictly kept. BY
'meatless' is meant without hog, cat
tie or sheep products. On other days
use mutton and lamb in preference
to beef or pork. BY 'porkless' is
meant without pork, bacon, ham,
lard or pork products, fresh or pre-
served. Use fish, poultry and eggs.
Ninth. For local situations where
exceptions are necessary application
should he made to the state food ad-
ministrators."
