WHEAT PROGRAM
Thousands of Retail GrocerS Sup'

New Wheat Saving Program Demand
ed - Allied Food Shortage In
ereases-America Must
Feed Fighters.

Explaining the United States Food
Administration new $3.50 wheat reg
ulatlons is a war time task the Ameri-
can grocer has gladly shouldered.
Many stores are already displaying
their Food Administration wheat saw
ing pledge cards, that they have sign
ed, agreeing to carry out the new
wheat program.
Each flour customer is now requlr-
ed to buy one pound of cereal suDsu-
tute for every pound Of wheat flour.
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 flour at all.
A wide variety of substitutes has
been provided: Cornmeal, corn flour,
edible cornstarch, hOminy, corn grits,
barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato
flour, sOya bean -four, Feterita flour
and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal,
rolled oats and buckwheat flour.
Graham and whole wheat flour 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 flour
that is, five pounds Of graham or
wheat flour counts the same as three
pounds Of the usual wheat flour.
Mixed flours form another excep-
ton. Where any flour contains 80
per cent. or less of wheat it may be
sold without any substitutes. Where
! the flour is mixed at the rate of GO
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 invalid's food
containing flour may be sold.
That the approved substitutes may
be assorted is a fact many grOcers
and housewives overlooked for time.
For instance, If a customer wishes to
buy "a pound sack of flour the nee
essary substitutes might be assorted
as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn
grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buck
wheat, pounds; cOrnstarch, pound !;
hOminy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3
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-
fins or used in the baking of wheat
bread.
Cornstarch is 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 FoO(
Administration believes the substitutes
will all be used to advantage.

requested to attend an institute It

Of the necessity for refugee gar
ments, the various chapters are be-
Ing asked to make these In the place

there are 30 many homeless people
due to the last battle on the vestsFn

nee will furnish eli supplies here
after to the chapters II uniform
prices, and as the allotments. are
made the supplies will be shipped.
This does away with the necessity Of
purchasing supplies in small COM
munities.
Miss Horning also furnished for
exhibition, a sample Of sphagnum
moss, which is now being used IN
surgical dressings. and contains. By
actual experience. twenty times -
much absorbant qualities as cotton.
The use Of this now in surgical dres-
sings is due to the fact that there Il
a scarcity Of cotton. In addition to
this. several completed surgical
dressings were exhibited. made up
OF sphagnum moss and cotton. The
instruction received there BY Miss
Horning will be used for the benefit
Of the local chapter.
