INTERDEALING Prevented
BY A new RULING

In commenting on the amendments
just issued by the food administra-
ton on the importation, storage and
distribution OF food commodities and
feeding stuffs, Charles Kerr, commits
sion man, stated that it was a good
step in lowering prices in that inter-
dealing between commission men is
forbidden within the same trade, with
out reasonable justification.
Profteering will be thus eliminated
in that unnecessary transactions are
prohibited. 1t is therefore clear that
the particular lot Of goods whose re-
sale is proposed will go through to the
retailers at lower price if the whole
saler who now owns them sells direct
to the retailer instead of to another
wholesaler who would add a second
wholesale profit on the same lot of
goods.
The rules concerning fresh fruits
and vegetables were prepared after a
conference with shippers and receiv-
ers of perishable food commodities
and have been based on recommends
IlOilS HUH tIlGul III OluSI W ulo0I Gull
ditiOns which have resulted in a great
waste of these products. throughout
the country.
The new rules provide that live
poultry containing in their craws
more than one ounce Of feed for each
two pounds in weight, or dressed poul-
try containing more than one-fifth of
an ounce of food for each two pounds
in weight, shall not be offered for sale.
Fresh meat and their products,
fresh and frozen eggs and butter in
cold storage for period of 80 days
or more must be marked "cold stor-
age" and sold as such. Licensees are
not permitted to remove cold storage
stamps from such marked foods or
their containers.

WHAT WHEAT WILL DO FOR
 LIBERTY

What can I do to. help win the war;" is the question that every true hearted American must ask himself? The answer is, Give instantly the service needed,D from now until the next harvest, that service is to share your wheat with your comrades across the sea, for you who can afford it to give your whole share to them.
 The Allied countries of Europe need wheat because bread has been one of the chief sources of nourish- ment Bakeries cannot make raised bread without wheat. flour.
 French homes ia particular depend, on bakeries, as fuel and time are lack ing for home baking and bakers bread must have wheat in it to keep. One bakery can supply hundreds of families and so release hundreds of pounds of coal and hundreds of hours of time. If we insist upon eating wheat need ed abroad, Liberty's armies and Lib erty's civil population will collapse as Russia collapsed, because the food supplies of her armies and her civil population failed.
 Many housewives have learned how to use the coarser meals in con- 'NNAeAs AiSA Cd-o4IE+ WlIn wheat flour in breads, pastries and buildings. Now the food administrat- ion asks you to eliminate all wheat. Are you ready to do it?
 The United States Food Adminis- tration offers the following recipes from their experimental station:--
 Baking Powder Loaf Bread. GUS ing no Wheat) Method:-Mix the melted fat. liquid, syrup and egg. Combine the liquids and we'll mixed ingredients. Bake as a loaf in a moderately hot oven (400 degrees r., or POS degrees O. for one hour or until thoroughly baked. Nuts. raisins or dates may be added if de- sired
