that only two declarations that It
might become necessary to close their
shops because they could not obtain
substitutes has been received from the
bakers One of these when investi-
gated showed that the baker could oh
tain an almost unlimited amount of
corn meal from 4 mill only few miles
away from his door. He had wanted,
however. to use some substitute which
would give him a whittier bread than
can come from the use OF corn meal.
He was ordered to secure the substi-
tRte and not TO bake bread until he
had done So Another baker, with
only Eve days Of substitutes on hand,
was asking for relief, and his case was

Mr. Cushing said:
= 1t Is improbable that any great
number Of bakers will have to close be
cause of inability to secure substitutes.
Bakers should not think that they can
always secure Just the substitute
which they want and while it is nat

IMPORTANT CHANGE
IN VICTORY BREAD
On and After April II Must Contain 25
Per Cent as a Minimum of
Substitutes.

ST. ALBANS, March o3.-Victory
bread, which now contains 90 per cent
of cereal substitutes as a minimum,
must on and after April II contain %
per cent as a minimum, it was an
nounced today at the office Of Acting
United States Food Administrator John
T. Cushing.
/ This increased adulteration of bread
and rolls is made necessary by the ur-
gent need of the allies for an increased
supply of wheat -four and because of
our own short crop. It is not imposs-
BILE that the situation may demand still
further increase later on.
The slogan Victory Bread or Close
| is being strictly enforced and will be
| enforced after the regulation of in
creased substitution goes into effect.
Bakers have ample time in which to
make arrangements for an increased
supply of the substitutes, it is pointed
! out.
Acting Administrator Cushing says

of comfort to the people of the United
