To effect the needed saving Of wheat we are wholly dependent upon the voluntary assistance of the American people and we ask that the following rules shall be observed:-
 1. HoUseholders to use not to exceed a total of l1s pounds per week of wheat products per person. This means not more than 1z pounds of Victory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and one-half pound of cooking flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all combined.
 2. Public eating places and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto, not to serve to any one guest at any one meal an aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, containing a total of more than two ounces Oe wheat flour. No wheat products to be served unless specially ordered. Pubic eat ing establishments not to buy more than SIX pounds or wheat products for each ninety meals served, thus con- forming with th4 Limitations requested of the househOlCsprs.
 8. Retailers to sch not more than one-eighth of a batsel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-qearter of a barrel to any country custO0er ct any one time, and in no case to sell wheat products without the sags uf an equal weight of other cereals.
 4. We ask the bakers an9 grocers to reduce the volume of Vic50ry bread sold, by delivery of the thrAe-Guarter pound loaf where one pound vas spld before, and corresponding proportions In other weights. We also ask e.Skers not to increase the amount of useir wheat four purchases beyond 70 per
The St. Johns herald., 1918-05-09

cent. of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to March 1.
 5. Manufacturers using wheat prod ucts for nOn-foOd purposes should cease such use entirely.
 6. There is no limit upon the use of other cereals, Hours, and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, ct cetera.
 Many thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat prod ucts whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so in perfect health and satisfac- tiOn. There Is no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook in their own households cannot subsist perfectly we'll with the use of less wheat products than one and one half pounds a week, and we specially ask the well-to-do households in the country to follow this additional pro- gramme in order that we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for
 
 to adapt themselves to so large a pro- portion of substitutes.
 In order that we shall be able to make the wheat exports that are ab- solutely demanded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the allies and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-opera- tioA of the public by a further limita- tiOn of distribution, and we shall place at once restrictions on distribution which will be adjusted from time to time to secure as nearly equitable dis tributiOn as possible With the arrival of harvest we should be able to relax such restrictions. Until then we ask for the necessary patience, sacrifice and cooperation of the distributing trades.
