wheat program,
/ Each flour customer IS now requir-
ed to buy one pound OF cereal substi-

The substitute amy be Of one kind or
assorted. This $3.50 sale Is made by
weight and not by value Of the com
modities. There is, of course. no reg
ulation demanding the consumer to
buy wheat -four at all.
A wide variety Of substitutes has
been provided: Cornmeal. corn -four,
edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits,
barley flour. potato flour, sweet potato
4 -four, soya bean -four, Feterita flour
and meals, rice. rice flour, oatmeal,
rolled oats and buckwheat -four.
Graham and whole wheat -four con
stltute an exception TO the nntional
regulation. Either OF these commodi-
ties may be sold at the ratio OF three
pounds to five pounds Of wheat flour
that Is. five pounds of graham or
wheat -four counts the same as three
pounds Of the usual wheat -four.
Mixed fiours form another excep-
ton. Where any -four contains 90
per cent. or less of wheat It may be
sold without any substitutes. Where
the flour Is mixed at the rate of 90
per cent. wheat and 40 per cent. Of
other ingredients an additional 20 per
cent. OF substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer.
Where necessity is shown specially
prepared infants and invalid's food
containing -four may be sold.
That the approved substitutes may
be assorted Is n fact many grocers
and housewives overlooked for a time.
For instance. If customer wishes to
buy "a pound sack of -four the nee
essary substitutes might be assorted
as follows; Cornmeal pounds; corn
grlts, 4 pounds; rice, pounds buck
wheat, pounds cornstarch. pound
N'AHAAtf RSAhN9 ApHN0 OAtcs
pounds.
None of the substitutes should be
considered as q waste purchase.
There are many household uses for
each. The eight pounds OF cornmeal
can be made into cornbread, corn muf-
fms or used In the baking Of wheat
tread.
Cornstarch is useful In making Gus
taTd, thickehlng gravy or may be used
In cake baking. Corn grits fried like
mush forms. a delicious dish. or II may
be used in baking corn bread. Rolled
oats are used largely as breakfast por-
ridge or in oatmeal cookies or In
making mullins.
Buckwheat -four may be used in
bread making, forming an excellent
substitute for one-quartef of the
wheat -four, but is especially choice In
the form of buckwheat cakes for
breakfast.
With IL wheatless meals needed
each week in America to provide
enough wheat for the allies, the Food
Administration believes the substitutes
will all be used to advantage.
