new Bread ORDER IS MADE
CONSUMERS MUST PURCHASE
EQUAL. AMOUNT OF OTHER
FLOUR WITH WHEAT

A. d. Wilson, federal food admins
traitor for Minnesota, has sent out in
formation to the field workers under
his jurisdiction, that has to do with
the now food administration bread or
der. Briefly stated the regulations
are as follows:
Wholesalers and millers may sell to
any jobber, baker " retailer, not more
than 20 per cent of the amount Of
wheat -four purchased by that individ-
ual for the same period of1;time the
last year. Wholesalers, milers and
tailers must sell at the same time an
equal number of pounds of flour other
than wheat, viz:
Corn-meal, corn starch, corn noun,
hominy, corn grits, barley flour, rice,
rice -four, oat meal, rolled oats, buck
wheat flour, potato flour, sweet potato
-four, soya bean flour, feterita fours
and meals.
Graham or whole wheat -four must
not be sold as flour other than wheat.
It may be sold only as follows: One
pound of graham or whole wheat flour
with six-tenths of pound of any Of
the substitute fours listed above.
Retailers may sell to consumers only
on the same basis that is, with every
pound Of white wheat flour, one pound
of some flour other than whea. must
be sold. All bakeries, hotels, restau-
rants and eating houses are required
to mix 5 per cent substitutes other
than wheat with the wheat flour in
baking bread at the present and th:s
amount of coarse flour must be increas,
ed gradually until BY February "a, 81
per cent substitutes must be used.
The plan provides for wheatless
days-Mondays and Wednesday, ard
for one wheatless meal every day
which we have deslg.ated as, the eve
ming meal.
The reason for requiring the bakers
to use only 20 per cent of coarse -four
and the homes so per cent of the coarse
flour is this: In the home, corn bread
and barley biscuits, made with nc
white flour at all, may be used very
nicely, but such product cannot be
handled and sold. -:
I am enclosing a general statement
that I have made with reference to
this order, which is gotten up with a
view of showing that the thing is
easily reasonable and may be carried
out without any real inconvenience
We hope you will do everything you
can to make this order really effective
because it is absolutely necessary that
we save wheat or the the order would
not have been made.
