WASHINGTON, July 16.-The
food administration soon is to an
nounce maximum fair prices at
which flour made from the 1918 crop
may be sold throughout the country.
Officials say this will safeguard the
public against excess profits and at
the same time restore competition
among the larger mills.
The prices are to be determined
from the basic prices of wheat in
each locality. They will include a
reasonable allowance for handling,
milling and marketing expense.
freight charges and profit
The plan Of allowing a profit of 25
cents a barrel net, under which the
1917 crop was handled, is to be
abandoned. 1t was the operation OF
this plan which led to charges of
prolteering by the federal trade COM
mission.
The shortage of flour provided an
immediate market for all produced,
and big mills, with low cost of OPP
Grafton, had no difficulty in disposing
of their products at good profits.
The government price will be fixed
at a point calculated to keep all mills
running at capacity. For this reason
the cost of milling is based with ref
erence to small capacity, high cost

more cheaply.

In determining profits, neither the
income or excess profits taxes will be
listed, as it was of expense.

Gives Food Demonstration,

Special stress was laid on the food
value of substitutes which take the
place of wheat flour when Mrs. w. E.
kittell, government expert, gave a
demonstration before twenty-five
women in the Mckinley school today.
Mrs. Kittell showed several ways in
which substitutes may be used to ex-
cellent advantage. She made mullins
of corn and oat flours and concocted
a war cake of barley -four and corn
syrup, making the point that more
nutriment was tucked away in the
coarser small grains than in the
white -four
While cooking these edibles she
reviewed the work on canning given
while she was here in June. Mrs.
Kittell also offered suggestions on
the making of jellies, preserves and
conserves.
