neh purchaser Of wheat flour t0buy
enc pound Of cereal substitute, ono
ksnd or assorted, for every pound Of
ulAeat -four. II vas necessary to re-
sRrfet the use Of wheat -four In order
that the allies and sur fighting forces

Some confusion has resulted on the
part OF the consumer In constituting
this '505V' ruling 10 mean that an
equal amount In value OF substitutes
must be purchased with wheat -four.
This is q mistaken idea. The ruling
states that the consumer in purchasing
dcur shall "buy at the same time an
e9uai weight OF other cereals"
Que exception to this ruling is con-
corning graham four and whole wheat
aeuv, which may be sold at the ratio
~ three pounds TO Ave pounds of
wheat nour.. This provision Is made
oecsuse approximately % per cent.
more Of the wheat berry Is used In the
Hanufacture OF these f!ours than stand
ssd wheat flour.
Another exception is that concern
ing mixed flours containing less than
50 per cent. Of wheat -four, which may
De sold without substitutes. Retailers,
however, are forbidden to sell mixed
Geurs containing more than 90 per
cent. Of wheat flour to any person un-
fess the amount of wheat flour substi-
tuees sold IS SUFFICIENT 10 make the to-
a. amount Of substitutes, including
uAose mixed In fours, equal 10 the to-
hi amount In, wheat -four in the mixed
hour. For instance, II any mixed flour
- purchased containing GO per cent.
West -four and 40 per cent. substi-
sales II is necessary that an additional
- per cent, fof substitutes be pur.
snased. This brings 10 to the basis OF
ns pound OF substitutes for each
vsund OF wheat -four.
4 special exemption may be granted
spoa application In the case Of special
y ysspared Infants and invalids' food
es.ssfhing -four where the necessity Is

Come misunderstanding seems to OK
- on Che part OF consumers In assum-
l-g thst with the purchase OF wheat
fsUw one ,ynust confne the additional

suAeaitutes This Is not the case. One

eusss equal, 10 the weight Of the wheat,
