WEEKS FOOD FACTS
NEW FLOUR REGULATIONS-VIC
TORY MIXED FLouRs SUB
STITUTES

New wheat -four regulations announc-
cd by Herbert c. Hoover, United States
food administrator provide for "Vic-
tory Mixed Flours' as follows:
Mixed wheat and barley -four, con-
tanning four pounds of wheat -four to
one of barley flour.
Mixed wheat and corn flour contain
ing four pounds of wheat flour to one
Of corn -four.
Mixed wheat and rye -four, containing
three pounds Of wheat -four to two
pounds of rye -four.
Mixed wheat, entire wheat, or gra-
hahn nour, containing at least IS per
cent of the wheat berry.
Such flours may be sold without sub
stitutes but at no greater prices from
miller, wholesaler, or retailer than
standard wheat flour. They must be
mixed and milled in accordance with
the standards Of the food administra-
ton.
The new rules do away with the
ffty-ffty rule. The retailer, selling
standard wheat -four is required to sell
only one pound Of substitutes with ev-
cry four pounds of standard wheat -four.
The substitutes are: Barley flour, corn
meal or corn flour, kaffir flour, milo
| -four, feterita flour or meal, rice flour,
oat flour, bean flower, potato -four,
sweet potato -four, buckwheat -four.
Oatmeal, rolled oats and rice are not
substitutes. Pure rye flour or meal
must be sold as substitute in the pro.
portion of two pounds to every three
pounds of wheat -four.
oh o& ~
that Americans need no longer con.
serve wheat -four. The food admins
tration asks that great care be taken
in conserving, in giving "share and
share alike" to the allies.

The independent delivery system was
