federal food administrator, and ]. l.
F1nney, the director of education, to
put the people of Tennessee on a strict.
~ mixed flour basis. If they cannot.

Of the smaller towns, obtain the ready,
made Victory flour, they are expected
as true patriots to use only Victory
flour made at home through the ad.
mixture OF twenty per cent Of substi.

The following appeal has been Is
sued by DR.. Morgan, through the coun.
ty food administrators OF the larger
counties OF Tennessee
New Conservation Program.
Our new conservation program calls
for a reduction in our pre-war con-
sumption of wheat products of 20 per
cent. This reduction should be effect
ed by the use only of wheat flour con-
tanning an admtxture OF not less than
20 per cent of recognized substitutes.
This flour should be mixed either at
the mill or where the straight flour
alone can be secured, the mixture
should be added in the household be-
fore the bread is baked.
Our allies during the coming yean
will use no wheat flour, but that hag,
ing an admixture OF twenty per cert
Of substitutes, and our president has
well stated that we should "eat at
common table" with them. Unless,
therefore, we effect our savings Of
wheat by the actual use Of Victory
mixed flour we are not doing this; We
are not keeping faith with the spirit
OF our agreement with our associates
in this war.
We should feel during the coming
rear, when we sit down to our daily
meals, that we are joint partners OF \
sort of communion with all men who
hold TO the faith OF freedom To do
this we must eat of the same bread
af which our devoted associates in the
struggle to make the world free must
nartake.
At the same time the food admins
Grafton In Tennessee appreciates the
ctlitles for making and mixing the Vic
tory flour: that in consequence the
supply would be inadequate for all the
people. It would bs very inconvenient
Cor many people in the small towns
and rural sections to obtain the mike
Victory flour, but they are expected,
avery house hold In the state include7.
60 use only the mixed flour even If the
substitutes are added in the home.
But in the centers Of population liks
your county, We feel sure that an ads
quate supply of Victory mixed flour
can be obtained TO meet the needs Of
the people. The use OF this flour is
not only compliance in letter and n
spirit with our agreement with our
allies and an observance Of our pro,
gram. but It II will be much more Coz.
Fenient. since no purchase of Eubstf-
tutes will be required.
You sra, therefore, urged 20 cal
upon the retail gTocers of your county
and prge them to encourage in everv
way the purchase Of Victory nike
flour: make the same appeal to the
1obbers and wholesalers, and get the
al lined up in an active campaign
TO put your county on q Victory flour
basis This flour must sell at q pr .
not exceeding the price for the stand
ard wheat flour SO that its purchase
will not entail any additional burden
either on the dealer or the consumer.
You can use this letter In any way
that you think will promote the use of
Victory flour. We are exceedingly
ANXIOUS that the people OF your county
should, as soon as possible. go on a
strictly Victory flour basis and will
therefore ask you to begin this cam
paiEn without delay.
Faithfully yours,
H A. MORGAN,
