NEW RULE REGULATING FLOUR
SOURCE OF TROUBLE.

A little trouble seems to have orig,
mated over the article in the Herald
in regard 10 the change in the. seventy
per cent distribution rule on -four
Following is the rule as sent out b!
Food Administrator Deems:
Wholesalers and jObbers, as
well as mills, may sell to whatever
retailer or retailers they desire
without regard to the seventy per
cent restriction, provided they do
rot sell over thirty days supply,
but all such sales must be accom-
panied by an equal amount of
substitutes, unless the retailer has
on hand or has purchased subSti-
tutes to balance such flour"
This change has no effect whatever
on the amount of -four that il to be
used in bread but gives the retailer
or baker chance to buy his -four on ar
open market. rom whatever mill h
desires and will no regard to las,
years order.
