When You Buy Flour

ttdltotl ldo puI ISolIiSliotio oii ItiS
amount of flour a retail dealer can
sell to any one customer at time.
These restrictions are not IN the
nature of a request but are the
rules under which retail dealers
must act.
The ruling where customer is
limited to less than sack, does not
apply until the -four mills have been
equipped to turn out -four in 25
pound sacks. The rule still holds
good, however, that the proportion
of substitutes must be maintained.
Following are the rules under which
your retail merchants are now COM
PEELED to sell -four to their GUS
toners:
FIRST-Retail dealers are re-
uuired to sell to the consumer with
each pound of white flour one-half
pound of any one or more of the
following substitutes: Cornmeal.
corn starch. corn flour. hominy,
corn gifts, barley flour, rice, rice
-four, oatmeal, rolled oats, buck
wheat flour, potato -four, sweet po-
tato flour, soy bean flour, and fete-
rita fours and meals.
Explanation Graham flour, rye
-four and wholewheat -four cannot
be considered substitutes for wheat
flour in the sense of being counted
as an offset to wheat -four purchases
under the rule requiring purchase
of proportionate amount of substi-
tute flour.
SECOND-In the case of graham
and whole wheat flour, provided it
, carries ninety-five (95) percent of
y the whole grain. the amount of sub
stitutes which must be purchased
. against it is three-tenths (3-10) Of
pound against one pound. How
:, ever, in this market no whole wheat
8 at the present time, does carry
:, nineny.fve (95) percent of the
! whole grain and all graham flours
do carry that proportion. There
o fore for the present. one half %
pound of substitutes must be pur-
chased against one pound of whole
wheat flour and three-tenths (3-1O
of pound must be purchased
against each pound of graham flour.
