ulations Is war time task the Ameri-
can grocer has gladly shouldered.
Many stores are already displaying
their Food Administration wheat say.
ing pledge cards, that they have sign
ed, agreeing to carry out the new
wheat program.
Each -four customer Is now requir-
ed to buy one pound of cereal substi-
tute for every pound OF wheat -four.
The substitute may be of one kind or
assorted. This $3.50 sale Is made by
weight and not by value of the COM
modities There Is, Of course, no reg
ulation demanding the consumer to
buy wheat -four at all.
A wide variety of substitutes has
been provided: Cornmeal, corn -four,
edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits,
barley flour, potato -four, sweet potato
four soya bean -four, Feterita -four
and meals, rice, rice -four, oatmeal,
rolled oats and buckwheat -four.
Graham and whole wheat -four con-
stitute an exception to the national
regulation Either Of these commodi-
ties may be sold at the ratio of three
pounds to five pounds of wheat -four
| that Is, five pounds Of graham or
wheat flour counts the same as three
pounds of the usual wheat -four.
Mixed fiours form another excep-
ton. Where any flour contains 30
per cent. or less of wheat 1t may be
sold without any substitutes. Where
| the -four Is mixed at the rate of 60
per cent. wheat and 40 per cent. of
| other ingredients an additional 20 per
cent. of substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer.
Where necessity is shown specially
prepared infants and invalids food
containing -four may be Sold
That the approved substitutes may
be assorted is fact many grocers
and housewives overlooked for time.
For instance, If customer wishes to
buy "a pound sack Of -four the nee
essary substitutes might be assorted
as follows: COrnmeal, s pounds corn
grits, 4 pounds; RICE pounds; buck
wheat, 2 pounds: cornstarch, / pound
hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 8
| pounds.
None Of the substitutes should be
considered as waste purchase.
There are many household uses for
each. The eight pounds of cornmeal
can be made into cornbread, corn muf-
fms or used in the baking of wheat
bread.
Cornstarch h useful in making Gus.
tard, thickening gravy or may be used
In cake baking. Corn grits fried like
mush forms delicious dish, or It may
be used In baking corn bread. Rolled
oats are used largely as breakfast por.
ridge or in oatmeal cookies or In
making mullins.
| Buckwheat flour may be used in
bread making, forming an excellent
substitute for one-quarter of the
wheat -four, but is especially choice in
the form Of buckwheat cakes fol
breakfast.
With II wheatless meals needed
each week In America to provide
enough wheat for the allies, the Food
Administration believes the substitutes
will all be used to advantage.

USE LESS WHEAT.

The allied nations have made
further increased demands on
us for breadstuffs - demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet.
In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to
come by the unprecedented
shipping to market of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each In
stead of 20S pounds--the nor
NAL.
The United States Food Adj
ministration, endeavoring to ad.
just the international food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions In this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time asked for a smaller con-
sumption of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatless day each week
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to a minimum.
In altering Its food conserva-
lion program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation is Of necessity,
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
home and abroad and by the
precarious transportation prob
lem. both In overseas shipping
and In Americas overburdened
transportation system.
The Food Administration will
keep the American people fully
and frankly advised Of each
change In the developing situa-
ton that they may know def
nitely the part their food sac
'ifices play In the world war.
