that there must be maintained in all
countries a conservation of wheat
flour during the coming year. They
have agreed that the wheat bread OF
the Allies shall contain 20 per cent
of other grains than wheat. The
Food Administration depends upon
voluntary action in our homes to ac-
cept mixture of Victory Bread. We
must recognize that the proportion
will make a wholesome product and
that there is no difficulty in prepare
ton.
81 The mixture is not intended to dis
place the large use of corn bread. We
must use the mixture with wheat
-four in addition to our normal con-
sumption of corn bread.
Later a mixed flour complying with
the international policy will be avail
able for purchase by the housewife,
1t is desired that the housewife Sc
cure a supply of ready mixed flours
so far as possible to avoid the neces-
sity of making combination purchases
of flour and substitutes.
Where standard wheat flour is pur-
chased by retailers 20 per cent OF
other cereal fours must be purchased
at the same time. The Food Admin
istration relies upon the housewives
of the country to mix at least 20 per-
cent of the substitute cereals into
wheat -four at home for all uses. II
the mixing is done at home, corn meal
for the use of corn bread should be
purchased separately from combina.
