Flour Requirements.

Easier and more effective enforcement
and observance of the recent combina.
tion sale order of the Food Administra-
ton will result from new ruling of the
Food Administration which permits the
sale Of mixed fours containing less than
SO per cent of white wheat -four without
the, accompanying cereal substitutes
which must be sold with white -four, in
the opinion of State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page. This new ruling. which
was just issued from Washington, was
welcomed with unconcealed pleasure at
the headquarters of the State Food Ad.
ministration. ,... q. -
One of the obstacles to the effective
enforcement of the new orders has been
the scarcity of cereal substitutes. AS a
result of the new order II is expected
that most of the -four mills of the State
will put on the market a mixed -four
which may be sold by itself and will
thereby be able to utilize for human con-
sumption an average OF 70 per cent more
of the wheat grain than is used in the
ordinary flour. 1t is stated, for instance,
that mixture of approximately 80 to 40
per cent wheat flour with 60 to 70 per
cent of wheat shorts or middlings makes
most acceptable breadstuff, being more
nutritious than white wheat flour and
having distinctive favor which appeals
to almost all consumers.
Merchants, both retailers and whole.
salers, having on hand wheat flour and
edible wheat middlings or shorts will be
permitted to mix these products them.
selves and sell without the accompanying
cereal substitutes. This ruling will
enable merchants to utilize for human
consumption thousands of bags of shorts
and middlings which they have in stock
at present. The mixture, however, must
contain less than so per cent of wheat
flour.

DEFINITIONS

Wheat Flour ANY white wheat flour.
When present supplies of patent flours
are consumed the only wheat flour on the
market will be what has been termed
War -four" which is just simply the 1876
pounds of flour manufactured from 264
pounds of wheat This will be the
standard and only wheat -four. This
-four can be sold only in combination
with an equal quantity of cereal sub.
stitutes. ,t,'..'
whole Wheat Graham Flour.
Flour containing the entire wheat grain
ground together and including white
-four, shorts or middling, and bran. This
-four may be sold in combination with
one-half its weight of cereal substitutes
Edible Shorts Or Middlings"-. Wheat
Middlings or shorts packed and sold for
human consumption.
NCrE:
Graham Flour from which all bran
and part of the shorts and middlings
have been extracted may not be termed
whole Wheat Graham Flour" and can
not be sold except in combination with
an equal weight of cereal substitutes.
Millers sometimes use the term 100
percent flour" to describe wheat flour
from which the bran, shorts and mid.
ding have extracted. This is 100 percent
flour but it is not Whole wheat -four.
At present mills are allowed to divide the
100 percent of flour of wheat into two
grades,4 one containing 95 percent of
white flour and the other containing
percent of low grade or tinged -four.
80 BOARDING
The matter of boarding is covered in
Sec. 6 of the food control Law passed by
Congress August 10, 1917. The possess.
ion of any food commodity in excess of
reasonable requirements by a consumer
for reaonable time" is boarding. The
Food Administration is determined that
any flour in possession of consumer in
excess of one barrel purchased before
Jan. 28th, 1918, or in excess of one bar
rel purchased after that date, will be
construed as boarding. Hoarding is
punishable by fine of $1,000 or two
years or both in addition to the confisca-
tion of the goods.
Food Administration throughout the
State are already working upon this mat.
ter and hundreds of barrels of flour have
already been returned to the channels of
trade by consumers who have purchased
in excess of a reasonable amount.

May 13.-An important section of high
ground near Vyverbeck river, north
of KENNEL, has been captured by the
French In strong attack. Both Hill
"A and Goddezone farm, which lie be.
tween La Clytte and Vierstraat, were
stormed and occupied, thereby giving
the French positions which had been
bone Of contention for many days.
The Germans have also received a

on an elevation south of Maillu-

fighting, succeeded in obtaining q
footing In the French front at one
place, but their success was short
lived, for prompt counter assault
drove them out, and, besides their
dead, they left more than 100 pris-
oners in the hands Of the defenders.
Washington, May l3.-Another week
has passed without a renewal by the
Germans Of the offensive they began
March Fl. Possibly the Germans have
been waiting for some allied counter
blow, which they felt able to with
stand, and hoped would be dealt.
If this were the case, they must have
been disappointed by the waiting at
titude of General Foch, which it is
felt now will compel the enemy to
reveal his further purpose with little
delay, as time is one of the things he
cannot afford to squander, with Am
erican forces now rapidly summing to
formidable numbers.
Every day gives evidence of the
alertness Of the allied forces. Numer.
GUS minor operations have been I'M
dertaken to improve their positions on
the various fronts and the artillery
fires have been directed to good eff
fects. Airplane raids without number,
in which the superiority of the entente
air forces has been clearly shown, have
served the same end, besides being
notably productive of valuable infor-

have been almost uniformly fruitful
