on voluntary action in our homes in

Victory bread so made is wholesome
and there is no difficulty in prepar-
alton. We desire to emphasize the
fact that mixtures outlined below are
Tor wheat bread and the saving of
wheat flour but they are not intended
to displace the large use OF corn Tor

wheat -four in addition to our nor
NAL consumption of corn bread. For
this purpose regulations are formula
