BAKER MUST CUT
USE OF FLOUR
Must Use More Substitutes in Bread
Because Of Action Of Householders in
5 Disseminating Home Bakins-Suaar
Also to Be Restricted.

Chicago, May 6.--An order cutting
down the use of flour by bakers to 20
per cent of what they made into bread
during May, June and July. 1917, is to
be issued tomorrow by the United
States food administration.
Householders who have been forced
to buy their wheat -four on fifty
fifty" basis, that is, one pound of sub
stitutes for each pound of flour, are
giving UP home baking to a large ex-
tent and are buying victory" bread, in
which there is 75 per cent of wheat
flour and only % per cent of subst-
tutes.
"This brings up the question as to
whether we are making any net saving
of wheat products" said Harry A..
Wheeler yesterday. "As the matter
works out, the people are buying al
most none of the other cereals. The
efforts of those who have gone on n
| fifty-fi or an entirely wheatlcss basis
are in danger of being nullified
1.-The people of Chicago are called
upon to recognize the impossibility of
bread being supplied to them upon the
present liberal basis and are urged to
curtail their use of bread so as to come
within the limits of the new program
which is to be laid down for bakers.
IF this is not done we will probably
face complete shortage in July"
Strict regulations for the use of
sugar are to be put into effect by TIE
food administration May Is. These
regulations will be enforced in every
state and will limit the use of sugar
by manufacturers. The new rules will
be in effect until July /.
Mr. Hoover has found it necessary
to take this action on account of the
unsatisfactory nature of the sugar
situation. Altho Cuba has a large
crop, ships are lacking and compare
lively little is coming to the United
States. In November. beet sugar from
the west will again be on the market.
Certificates are to be issued cover
Ing sales of sugar in lots of from five
to 1000 bags" said Mr.. Wheeler.
"All manufacturers whose business
is to preserve perishable foods will be
allowed to have an amount equivalent
to what they used last year.
"All manufacturers of candy, condi-
ments, chocolate and cocoa, syrups for
soft drinks. chewing gum, wines or
cereals, bottiers of soft drinks and
soda water fountains selling soft drinks
may have IS per cent as much sugar as
they used during the similar forty five
day period Of 1871.
This rule does not apply to hotels,
restaurants, and other public eating
places Neither does it apply to bakers
or manufa cturers of crackers who hold
bakers license.
Sugar allotments to- small consum-
ers will be increased for canning pur-
poses as rapidly as possible"
In order to encourage the use of fish
instead Of meat many of the restric-
lions on salt water fishing have been
lifted by the government.
