New flour regulations adopted by the
federal food administration prescrib
ing the use Of at least 20 per cent
of substitutes in the making Of wheat
bread after September / were re-
leased yesterday from the office Of
State Food Administrator c b. Ames
and revision of previous food rules
were announced this morning to
county and precinct food men all
over the state. Voluntary action on
the part of the homes in adopting
universally this late mixture will be
relied upon to a great extent in car
rying out the program outlined by
the federal food administrator, Her
bert Hoover has stated
After September ] Il mixed flour
will be available for all household
uses, the administration announces.
Following is an elementary part of
the new wheat conservation plan as
recently adopted by the federal food
dictator: THE recent careful survey
of the Food Administrators of the
United States, France, England and
Italy of the food sources of the two
hundred million people fighting
against Germany shows that to main
tain enough supplies and necessary
reserves against disaster there must
be maintained in all countries con
seryation of wheat flour during the
coming year. 1t has been agreed that
the wheat bread of all allies shall
contain twenty per cent other grain
than wheat and T. is only just that
we should bear our share in this
saving and our bread should be at
least universal with those who are
suffering more from the war than
arc we. Dis ribution and Transports
tion in the United States render it
necessary to rely very largely upon
voluntary action in our homes to en-
force this mixture"

tory Mixed Flour" and upon the sack
will be printed the proper 'ons of in
gradients used in the manufacture

ed flour have been outlined to mill
