REGULATIONS ON SUBSTITUTES FOR
 WHEAT CHANGED
Use of Rye Flour to Limited Extent Permitted-Other
 Baking Rules.

Hartford, July A.---Several impor- erning licensed bakers were an- Dounced today by the Food Adminis- tration. Until further notice, rye flour or rye meal may be used as a partial wheat flour substitute. It will be permitted as 8 substitute up to one-ffth of the substitute require ments, as for example, g. batch of dough for Victory bread may con- | tain 75 pounds of wheat flour twenty pounds of any of the present substt- tutes and five pounds of rye flour.
 In certain sections of the country large stocks of rye flour were carried over from last years ha=Sest and in other sections this years rye crop is already being harvested. MT. Sco- vile said today, he believed this op- portunity to use rye flour as partial substitute will materially assist in the use of the other substitutes.
 The period for the operation of the 70 per cent. flour rule, governing bak- CTS of all products, other than bread and rolls, has been extended from July 31 to August S1. This means that
 
 curtail to September l, the use of flour in sweet dough products, which must not exceed 70 per cent of their output during the month of August, 1917, or one-sixth of what they have used for the past six months.
 From now on there is no regulation as to what kind of shortening shall be used by bakers, but economy and sg. nal fats, vegetable fats and oils compounds or butter are used. Tn answer to many inquiries, MT. Sco- vile said today that there have been some premature and unauthorized re ports to the effect that the list ot substitutes might be changed ano that the percentage to be used in Vic. tory bread might be lowered.
 MT. Scoville added there were nc indications at present that the pres ent percentages for the sale of sub stitutes with wheat flour and for the use of substitutes by bakers in Vic tory bread will be changed. He wal certain that there would be no change whatsoever before November 1, ant possibly none then. Bakers through out Connecticut were advised by tn, Food Administration today that the! must make their reports promptly ol ] time and that it Is violation of th 4 law to sell malt extract or malt fou E to individuals, these products beint purchased by them solely for use il their bakery products. MT. Scovin also emphasized tho fact that rye 1 ! not a substitute for sale to house : wives and that the "f1fty-f1fty' sale rule on substitutes continues in force

MT. Bakers plan will be logical expansion of the nations war pro- gram as carried out so far. Increased shipping facilities, incr sased means of getting all manner of supplies on a quantity production basis, and other problems involved in building up this gigantic force will be taken into con- sideration.
 Every angle of the plan will have been worked out systematically, so that there will be no question of hav- ing available man power either un- duly ahead or behind the means for making it available on the battle fields.
 Although all details have not yet been worked out, MT. Baker said yes terday that the plan had progressed far enough for him to know that he would have to recommend an exten- sion of the draft age limits. As to what the final ages will be he is not yet prepared to say specifically. It is regarded as certain now that he will | recommend the inclusion of all men who have reached 19. In extedig the 1 age upward the limit is expected to l reach at least 40.
 As to the number of additional mer | this extension will make immediately l available there are so far only rough estimates When the plan to in crease the age limits to 1S-45 was dis. cussed it was estimated that thii would bring approximately as many l men into Glass 1 as were available un.
 der the 21-S1 age limit. The tota
 number classified in Glass l was 2, | 362,0s2, with 1,724,s71 fighting mer remaining after deductions for de
 linquents, limited service men ant I others.

WAR NEEDS TO BE
 MET BY ADDITION
After War Facilities Will Be Used for Isolation Pur-
 poses As First Intended.

Feeling that there will be great need of hospital accommodations in the near future the authorities of St. Vincent's hospital are going ahead with the plans for the Isolation hos pital which was to have been erected some time ago on the ground owned by the hospital on the north side of Hawley avenue. In view of the situa- tion in building circles and the ne- cessfty that men be used for this work where 1t is most imperative this build Ing would not have been erected at the present time had 1t not been for its prospective usefulness as a place in which to care for the wounded and convalescent soldiers.
 It will provide 800 additional beds over and above the number the hos pital can now take care of. The laundry and boiler room are also be- ing enlarged and as the building in which these departments are located has two stories 1t will be possible to put patients in there also. The heat ing plant will also be enlarged and it is thought that the completed struct- ures will compel an outlay of $1OO,- 900.
 There will be four new wards equipped with every modern con venience, and the. nurses will be the Sisters of the Order of St. Vincent who have always been noted for their ability to run hospitals with economy and yet in a most adequate manner At the time Roosevelt was president be turned over the Soldiers Home Hospital in Washington to their care and they also were in charge of the Providence hospital in that city.
 These same Sisters were sent tC the South at the time the yellow fever and pestilence were raging there ant di noble work. Sister Alice, who i! at the head of the order at St. Vim cents hospital, was one of the nurse sent to Montauk, L. l., when the 2,00t soldiers came back from Cuba suf fering with yellow fever. After tn, war these new buildings at St. Yin cents will revert to their origina purpose that of an isolation hospital

Wedding Invitations and Announce
ments.
The announcement of wedding
should be quietly accomplished, and
take place at dinner party. the best
method is for both parties to announce
the forthcoming nuptials to their
friends in notes. They need not be sent
broadcast, as the news will soon cir
culate among ones interested friends.
Usually. after the announcement nu-
merous friends of both persons give
dinners or luncheons in their honor.
A pretty announcement Is made by
means of web of gold cord fastened
between a centerpiece of roses and
ferns and the chandelier. Rosebuds
should be entwined with the cord in
the web, holding fast paper hearts.

couple. Cupid, beneath the web, points
his arrow at the entrapped hearts as
he poses on the flowery centerpiece.
Another affair may be carried out by
passing little baskets of violets to the
guests. Tinted envelopes with two
paper hearts inclosed are half hidden
in the violets. The envelopes bear the
words, The message of the violets,'
and the hearts hold the initials of the
happy pair.
Another idea is to have a ship made

How to Select Wedding Gift.
When one is called upon to choose a
wedding gift it is sometimes not the
easiest matter to decide exactly Wnat
would prove the most acceptable. ABOVE
all, do not let the cost of gift be out
of proportion to your means. as sucn
giving brands you as pretentious and
embarrasses the recipient. Wedding
gifts are treasured long, so whether
the gift be large or small, let it be gen.
uine of it's kind. and strictly avoid the
latest fad.
Buy simple designs and stock pat.
terms in silver. Avoid single pieces. III
your gift must cost So or less. do not
attempt silver. Extra sets of spoons
and forks are always welcome for the
modern table service demands them in
greatest abundance. Nut picks or fruit
knives are rarely duplicated and are
very practical. Among gifts of cut
glass individual pepper and salt shak-
ers or celery dips are good. and so are
tumblers and sherbet glasses. but
bowls are apt to be given by the dozen.
Among china it is also better to buy
for two. an odd set of plates, a salad
dish, turkey platter: after dinner cof-
fee cups. a chop plate, chocolate set or
odd bowls and pitchers. Another de-
sirab1e article is an ice pitcher which
contains a receptac Gle to hold ice and
does not permit it to melt in with the
drinking water. Usually such pitchers
are sold with half a dozen goblets Of
similar pattern.
One department in which a home cam
not be overstocked and which affords
the greatest latitude in values is linen.
There are napkins. tablecloths. doilies.
tray and lunch cloths, sideboard and
dresser scarfs. towels, fine sheets, pill
lowcases and so on. The sentiment of
such a gift is enhanced. of course, if 1t
represents the work of the giver, but
this Is not necessary.
When attempting to find a unique.
inexpensive wedding gift. have made
up as tray one of the beautiful brown
Japanese stencils. Cover with glass
and soft brown tray frame. A visit
to the arts and crafts shops will fur
nish many suggestions for wedding
gifts.
A clever idea is kitchen picture for
a prospective bride. On a sheet of
very heavy white paper write with a
typewriter the various weights and
measurements. time for cooking foods

a present. but it is pretty courtesy to
do so. even though the Offering be but
a bouquet of flowers as token of cor
diality and congratulations.
Bridal Bouquets.
A loose armful of flowers is the pref
test bouquet for the bride. Upon leav-
ing the church the bridesmaids should
carry their flowers on the arm nearest
to the pewS, which neceSSltateS chang
ing the bouquets from one arm to the
other when leaving the altar. This
should be done as unobtrusively as pos
sible. pretty custom is the sending
of bouquet by the bridegroom to the
mother of the BRIDE He should also
provide the ushers with boutonnieres
His own should match the brides bou-
quet.
Wedding Cake Boxes.
A wedding cake box should always
be simple White is the only color per-
MISSILE on it, unless a small bunch OF
white flowers with green stems is ADD
ed as a decoration 1t Is quite pos
sible to cover small boxes for wedding
cake at home if you have clever fingers
and are willing to spend the time nee
essary to do the work well.
If you would make these boxes, buy
size and then buy paper to cover them:
White crinkled paper can be used. II
1t is used it must be pasted on care
fully. so that the paste marks will not
show. A good way to put the paper
on the cover, which is. the only part
that shows when the box is closed. is
to paste it only on the under side. Cut
two strips of paper. one the width OF
the box, another the length, both run
ming with the grain of the paper. Paste
the end of one strip to the under part
of one end of the cover, draw it out
over the end, the top and the other
end of the cover, and then cut it off.
allowing an inch of paper to paste on
the under part of the other end of the
cover Fasten the crosswise piece in
the same way. Make tiny white paper
flowers and fasten a little bunch Of
them to the cover with a small bow
of baby white satin ribbon. These
boxes are dainty and can be made at
small cost The cake which is put in
them should be daintily wrapped in
waxed paper.
