Flour &c.

The following bulletin from Mr.
Hoover has been received by Fred NJ
Sackett. the federal food adminstra-
tor at Louisville, yesterday giving the
conservation program to be followed
in Kentucky after September LIST,
1918, Mr.. Hoover says:
1.-THE recent careful survey by the
food administrators of the United
States, France, England, and Italy, of
the food resources of the two hun
dred twenty million people fighting
against Germany, shows that to main
tain enough supplies and necessary
reserves against disaster there must
be maintained in all countries a con-
servation of wheat -four during the
coming year. 1t has been agreed that
the wheat bread of allies shall con-
tain twenty per cent other grains
than wheat and it is only just that
we should bear our share in this
saving and our bread should be at
least universal with those who are
suffering more greatly from the war
than ourselves.
Distribution and transportation
circumstances in the United States
render il necessary to rely very large
ly on voluntary action in our homes
to enforce this mixture. The Victory
bread so made is wholesome and
there is no difficulty in preparation.
We desire to emphasize the fact that
the mixtures outlined below are for
wheat bread and the saving of wheat
-four. but they are not intended to
displace the large use of corn bread.
We must use the mixture with wheat
flours in addition to our normal con-
SUMPTION of corn bread. For this
purpose, regulations are formulated
below effective September first.
Providing first for the prepara-
ton and marketing by the manufac-
turing and distributing trades of the
country of mixed -four complying
with the international policy, which
will be available for purchase by the
household.
Second In regulations covering
the case where straight wheat -four
is sold by retailers that at the same
time twenty per cent of other cereal
flours must be sold coincidentally.
Third, requiring that all bakers
bread shall contain twenty per cent
of other cereals, and the food admin
istration relies upon the householders
of the country to mix at least twenty
per cent of the substitute cereals into
the wheat -four at home for all uses.
Corn meal for use of corn bread
should be purchased separately from
combination sales.
