rs PER CENT SUBSTITUTE.
Is Required for Victory Bread After
April Il.

St. Adams, March 25.--Victory bread
which now contains 20 per cent of cerca
substitutes a. a minimum must on and
after April II contain 81 per cent as a
minimum, 1t was announced to-day at
th9 Office of Acting United States Food
Administrators John T. Cushing.
This increased adulteration of bread
and rolls is made necessary bv the ur.
gent need of the allies for an increased
supply of wheat -four and because of
our own short crop II is not impossible
that the situation may demand a still
further increase later ON.
The slogan Victory Bread or Close" is
being strictly enforced and will be en-
forced after the regulation of increased
substitution goes into effect. Bakers
have ample time in which to make ar
rangements for an increased supply of
the substitutes, it is pointed out
! Acting Administrator Cushing SAYS
that only two declarations that IL might
become necessary to close their shops
because they could not obtain substi-
tutes has been received from the bakers.
One of these when investigated showed
that the maker could obtain an almost
unlimited amount of corn meal from a
mill only few miles away from his
door He had wanted, however, to use
some substitutes which would give him a
whittier bread than can come from the
use OF corn meal. He was ordered to Sc
cure the substitute and not to bake
bread until he had done so. Another
baker, with only five days of substitutes
on hand, was asking for relief and his
case was also ons In which the baker
wanted some other substitute than was
available Commenting on such instances
Mr.. Cushing said:
1t is improbable that any great num-
Der of bakers will have to close be
'suse of inability to secure substitutes.
Bakers should not think that they can
always secure just the substitute which |
hey want, and while it is natural for |
hem to desire 10 make as white loaf /
Is possible, still the test is not trying /
o please the bakers but to serve the /
ountry. The substitutes must be used,
md county administrators and local ad
have been instructed to
nforce the rule Victory Bread or Close
n every instance. Just at this particular
ime no exemptions can be granted
