Federal Boards New Sched- ule for Food Conserva-
 tion Issued.

-n announcing the new wheat con- servation programme for the United Statsz, whiah will become effective Sept. l, 1918, the local Federal Food administration is-ued yesterday the national boards statement regarding the new schedule. The latter states flatly that wheatless days and meals will be abandoned after the first of next month. The statement reads in part:
 "The recent careful survey of the Food Administrators of the United States, France, England and Italy of the food resources of the 220, 100000 people fighting against Germany shows that to maintain enough sup plies and necessary reserves against disaster there must be maintained in all countries a conservation of wheat flour during the coming year.
 Tt 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 that our bread at least should be uni versal with those who are suffering more greatly from the war than our selves.
 "Distribution and transportation circumstances in the United States render 1t necessary to rely very large ly on the voluntary action of our homes to enforce this mixture. The Victory Bread so made is wholesome and there is no difficulty in prepara- tion. We desire to emphasize the fact that the mixtures outlined below are for wheat bread, and the saving of wheat flour, but they are not intend ed to displace the large use of corn bread. We must use the mixture with wheat flour, in addition to our nor nal consumption of corn bread.
 For this purpose regulations are formulated below, effective September 1, providing first for the preparation and marketing by the manufacturing and distributing trades of the coun. try of a mixed flour complying with the international policy, which vii be available for purchase by the household; second, in regulations GOV. ering the case where straight whea flour is sold by retailers, that at the same time 20 per cent. of other ce. . real Hours must be sold coincident ally; third, requiring that all bakers bread shall contain 20 per cent O. other cereals, and the Food Admins tratton relies upon the householder of the country to mix at least 20 pc cent. of the substitute cereals into the wheat flour at home for all uses
 Corn meal for the use of corr bread should be purchased separatel, from combination sales"
 Continuing, the statement says tha it is desirable to have a supply O ready mixed Hours on the market anC gives the new schedule of what vii be known as "victory mixed Hours, These will be labelled with the in gradients and must be milled in ac cordance with the Food Administra tion's standards. The combination which will be allowed are contained in the statement, as follows:
