The Food Administration has
revoked the order made some time
back prohibiting mills from pack
ing flonr and meal in less than "a
and FL pounds respectively. This
order was made to save time in
packing and handling. But when
the administration DEGREES that to get
"a pound sack of flour, you must
at the same time buy as much meal
or other substitutes for flour,
ii was found that many poor people
were unable to buy both a sack of
flour and sack OF meal at the same
time, so they had to take the sack
of meal and do without the flour, or
get the merchant to credit them for
the flonr. This was not always
agreeable with the merchant so the
millers can now put up IL pound
packages which will suit all people
with small means to buy a limited
amount of both flour and meal at a
time with no greater outlay of mon
ey than formerly for one sack of
flonr.
