tato -four, soy bean -four, and feter-
tia flours and meals.
Retailers must sell and consumer

or whole wheat -four; that is, with
each ten pound sack Of graham or
whole wheat -four consumer must
buy six pounds Of the authorized sub
stitutes.
The retailers or consumers who
try to evade the instructions of the
food administration are not patriotic.
Consumers will find it real econ
omy to purchase goods in bulk as far
as possible. Cartons and boxes add
to the cost The substitutes, corn,
rice oat and barley fours and meals
have the same nutritive value of
wheat flour in mixed diet.
A peck of potatoes has the same
food value as eight 10 cent loaves Of
bread. Eat more potatoes and save
wheat and money.
Consumers are urged to use more
beans, especially the pintos. A
pound of beans Is equal in caloric
value to one and a half pounds sir
loin steak, two pounds round steak,
one and a half dozen eggs, five
pounds or five pints of milk.
Milk at 10 cents per quart is the
cheapest food to be used. Milk is
a perfect food. Give growing child
rem all they want. The food admin
istration urges increased use of
milk, cheese, butter and all dairy
products.
Merchants are requested to post
these regulations in a conspicuous
place in their place Of business.
