proclamation extending the restric-
tons concerning food conservation.
Thomas B. Stearns. Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Colorado. notified
county administrators OF the new reg
ulation establishing an additional
wheatiess day. urging one wheatless
meal a day. and other rules for food
saving.
The new regulations appear in a
new home card which ie to be mailed
to the 10000 families In Colorado
pledged to tho food conservation cam
paign. Among the new suggestions
ls a radical change requiring consurn-
ers when purchasing wheat products
to buy an esual quantity OF other
grains or cereals. This fifty fifty ar
rangement Is proposed to make GER
tain the conservation OF wheat BY
substitution OF other cereal products.
The substitutes for wheat flour are
corn. emmer. barley. rye. rice and
all corn products. Graham and whole
wheat flour are not substitutes be-
cause. they contain too. much Of the
wheat
Pending the distribution OF the
cards all must endeavor to put new
rules into effect, raid Mr.. Stearns.
There is no occasion. however. for
alarm on account OF the supply Of
food. The requirements for shipping
abroad are Increasing. which neces-
States Increased saving on our part.
That la the whole reason for tight
ening the restrictions. II is merely to
help America to win tho war. Tho
test Of our patriotism is becoming
little more binding but has not yet
reached the point Of serious racri-
flee
The following Is tho text of the new
home card:
