lowing press summary OF new rules
of the United States food admins

the rules that have been formulat-

president, in order to effect the fur
Their conservation of foodstuffs
necessary to support the allies and
our own armed forces over the next
four months. The rules are efec-
tive from the morning of Monday,
Jan. 28, today.
THE effectiveness of these rules
is dependent solely upon the good
will of and the willingness to sacri-
flee by the American people. In b
last analysis the success or failure
of n plan such as that here out

are dependent upon the co-opera-

ced under the Lever food act. Other
parts are voluntary and will depend
for their success upon public SEN
timent. Our experience hitherto

small minority who refuse to CO.
operate should not be allowed to.

such cereals is to be used.
THE food administration strong
ly urges on consumers the buying
of this bread, which will be known
as Victory bread" and will con-
tain not less than 20 per cent OF
cereals other than wheat. German

given the name because, containing
as they do % per cent of the wheat

pose of saving wheat flour.

buy only Victory bread"

ers of macaroni, spaghetti. moo
