Many Old Rules Revised or Rescln
United States Food Administrator Herbert

lowing announcement:
The recent careful survey by the Food Ad-
ministrators Of the United States, France,
England and italy Of the food resources Oh
the 22OOO0,000 people fighting against Ger
many shows that to maintain enough supplies
and necessary reserves against disaster, there
must be maintained in all countries con-
seryation Of wheat -four during the coming
year.
1t has been agreed that the wheat bread OF
the Allies shall contain 20 per cent OF other
grains than wheat, and 1t is only just that
we should bear our share in this saving, and
our bread should be at least universal with
those who are suffering more greatly from
the war than ourselves.
Distribution and transportation circum-
stances in the United States render it neces-
sary to rely very largely on voluntary action
in our homes to enforce this mixture. the
Victory bread so made is wholesome, ana
there is no difficulty in preparation, we oe-
sire to emphasize the fact that the mixture
outlined below are for wheat bread and the
saving Of wheat flour, but they are not IN
tended to displace the large use Of corn bread.
We must use the mixture with wheat hours
in addition to our normal consumption OF
corn bread.

lated below, effective September !, providing;
