NEW REGULATIONS EXPLAINED
IN FULL. BY THE FOOD
ADMINISTRATION

New wheat regulations have been
issued by the United States Food Adj
ministration and consumers of wheat
will be pleased to know that the amount
of substitutes which must be used has
been reduced to 20 per cent. The fol-
lowing are the orders as issued by the
National Food Administrations
The Food Administration has issued
the following observations and regula-
tons:
The recent careful survey of the Food
Administrators of the United States,
France, England and Italy, of the food
resources of the two hundred and twenty
million people fighting against Germany
shows that to maintain enough supplies
and necessary reserves against disaster,
there must be maintained in all coun-
tries a conservation Of wheat flour dur
ing the coming year.
1t has been agreed that the wheat
bread of the Allies shall contain 20 per
cent of other grains than wheat, and
it is only just that we should bear our
share in this saving and that our bread
at least should be universal with those
who are suffering more greatly from the
war than ourselves.
Distribution and transportation cir
cumstances in the United States render
it necessary to rely largely on the vol
untary action of our homes to enforce
this mixture The "Victory Bread" so
made is wholesome and there is no diff
Guilty in preparation. We desire to
emphasize the fact that the mixtures out
lined below are for wheat bread and the
saving of wheat flour, but they are not
intended to displace the large use Of corn
bread; we must use the mixture with
wheat flour in addition to our normal
consumption of corn bread.
