P. M. Harding, Federal Food .Ad-
minstrator, Vicksburg, Mississ-
ippi. In order to eliminate pos
sible confusion, due to incomplete
press reports, the conservation
program on meats, until further
notice, is simply Beef or Pork
products on Tuesdays. The whole
bases of the change is to s,.bsti-
tute our abundant meats for our
less abundant wheat products.
AS to our wheat and wheat pro-
ducts the 1918 Home Card should
be considered as absolutely mini
mum as we hope that temporary
reductions in meat restriction
will be offset by a more rigid &C.
onomy in all uses of wheat pro-
ducts. "
Signed, Herbert Hoover.
For the present Tuesday is the
only meatless day of the week,
and people are not required, un-
til further notice, to observe a
meatless meal, each day. A more
rigid saving Of bread stuff is re-
quested.

P. M. Harding, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator, Vicksburg, Miss. In
view of absolute necessity of fur
Their conservation of wheat and
wheat products, the entire coun-
t,y must adopt the fifty-fifty
plan, using only the substitutes
on the original official list. as out
lined in Rule 26, which provides
for the use of one pound Of wheat
flour substitutes with evey pound
of wheat flour purchased. Wheat
flour substitutes includes Homi-
ny, Corn meal, edible Corn
starch, Corn Grits, Corn Flour,
Bar.ey Flour, Rolled Oats, Dat
Meal, Rice, Rice Flour, Buck
wheat Flour, Potato Flour Sweet
Potato Flour, Soy Bean Flour,
Feterita Flour and Meals. There
fore States not now on the fifty
fifty plan will enforce fifty-ffty
rule beginning Monday, March
18th. We appreciate some states
will have tificulty in finding
substitutes. This simply means
that wheat or wheat products
should be sold only to the extent
that there are available substi-
tutes of equal weight, thus re-
sulting in the saving OF wheat for
our allies. Once more we wish
to emphasize that the more abun-
dant meats should be substituted
for our less abundant bread
stutfs.
Signed, Herbert Hoover.
