SUBSTITUTE FLOUR is
LACKING IN CONNECTICUT

Hartford. Conn. Jan. 27.-So far as
this state is concerned the order Of
the federal food administrator has been
modified so that the purchase of an
equal quantity of a substitute with
every sale OF wheat -four is not to be
enforced tomorrow. Instead. the
housewives Of Connecticut will have
to secure but 20 per cent. of some of
the specified flours to use in baking
and cooking.
State Federal Administrator Skoville
had consultation today with wholesale
grocers from many cities of the state
and learned that sufficient supplies Of
the substitutes are lacking to make the
ruling effective. Further. because of
the tie-np in transportation at this
time. it is unlikely that enough 81 the
substitute can be lrQU4bf ~

NEW WAR BREAD
(Concinued from PAGE One)

The food administration has formula ted
suggestion which, If followed, will ena-
bic us to meet this great responsibility
without al convenience on our part.
In order that We may reduce our con-
sumption of wheat and wheat products
by 50 per cent.-a reduction imperatively
necessary To provide the supply for over
eas--wholesalers. jobbers and retailers
should purchase and resell to their Gus
toners My 20 per cent. Of the amounts
used In i"l1. All manufacturers of all
: mentary pastes, biscuits, crackers, pastry
and breakfast cereals should reduce their
| purchases and consumption of wheat and
wheat flour to 20 per cent OF their 1871 re-
duirements. and all bakers Of bread and
/ rolls to 80 per cent of their current
qurenlents. Consumers should reduce
! their purchases of wheat products for
home preparation at most 20 per cent.
Of those Of last year. or. when buying
bread, should purchase mixed cereal
breads from the bakers
I To provide sufficient cereal food. homes,
public eating places. dealers and manu-
, facturers, should substitute potatoes, veg
e,ables, corn, barley, oats and rye pro-
ducts and the mixed cereal bread and 9TH
er products Of the bakers which contain
an admiXture Of other cereals
In order that consumption may be re
stricted to this exent. Mondays and
Wednesdays should be observed at wheat
less days each week, and one meal each
day should be observed as a wheatless
meal.
In both homes and public eating places,
In order to reduce the consumption OF
: beef. pork and sheep products Tuesday
should be observed as meatless day in
each week, one meatless meal should be
observed in each day; while in addition,
Saturday in each week should further be
observed as day upon which there
should be no consumption Of pork pro-
ducts.
: \ continued economy in the use Of
sugar will be necessary until later in
the year.
1t is imperative that all waste and
unnecessary consumption of all sorts
of foodstuffs should rieidly be elimi-
! mated
Inc maintenance of the health and
: strength Of our own people is vitality
necessary Mt this time, and there
! should be no dangerous restriction Of
/ the food supply; but the elimination
/ Of every sort Of waste and the substi-
I tuition Of other commodities of which
, We have more abundant supplies for
! those which We need to save will in on
way impair the strength of our people
and will enable us to meet one Of the

|, therefore, in the National interest.
! take the liberty Of calling upon every
loyal American to take fully to heart
the suggestions which are being circu-
lated by the food administration and
Of begging that they be followed [
am confident that the great body Of
our women who have labored so Ioyal-
