The new food conservation program
lust announced by United States Food
Administrator Herbert Hoover Is as
follows:
Fhe recent careful survey by the
Food Administrators of the United
States, France, England and Italy OF
the food resources of the 220,000,00O
people fighting against Germany
shows that to. maintain enough sup
plies and necessary reserve against
disaster, there must be- maintained In
all counties a conservation Of wheat
hour during the coming year41r~
e IT has been agreed that the. wheat
bread of the Allies Shan contain 20
per cent of other grains than. wheat,
and it 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
greatly from the war than ourselves.
Distribution and transportation cir
cumstances. in the United States rem
der it necessary to rely very largely
on voluntary action. in our homes to
enforce this mixture: The. Victory
bread so made is wholesome, and
there is no difficulty in preparation.
We desre to emphasize the fact that
the mixture outlined below are: for
wheat bread and the saving Of wheat
flour, but they are not intended to
displace the large use Of corn bread.

fours in addition to our normal con-
! sumption OF corn bread. -
