After the business meeting there was
general discussion of food regulations,
in which Mr.. Nelson stated that 1t was
desired 70 save 100,000,000 bushels of
wheat between now and next July,
principally for our allies, and that as
there were about l09000,000 inhabi
tants in the United States this means
that each person must save approx
matcly one bushel
Numerous questions were asked of
Mr. Nelson, many Of them relating to
rhc matter of wheat substitutes. It
was brought out that it sometimes was
impossible to have the substitutes on
hand when person desired to buy
flour, and the question was whether un-
der these circumstances a grocer could
sell flour without selling the prescribed
percentage of other cereals. The cues

without buying substitutes in addition
also came up, and a restaurant pro-
orietor present who buys flour only for
pastry cooking and has no use for the
substitutes wanted to know whether
he had got to keep piling up substitutes
IN order to get flour. In the last case
Mr.. Nelson advised writing to the food
administrator for special ruling, as
he did IN other matters which he did
not feel safe in answering himself, not
having been for several days where ne
could obtain the latest advices in the
food situation.
Mr.. Nelson emphasized the fact that
the patriotic spirit should enter fully
into all individual problems that come
up, and he felt sure that in most in
atances the grocers would be able to
solve these problems in satisfactory
way.

emulate quantities of burlap sacks,
