COucidentIy. Herbert Z. Hoover,

rules by. which the country is eX-

is inperatively necessary. They were
formulated with the approval of the
President.
Some of them will he enforced under

ministTation says it has but one police

rules are obeyed by that small minor

We must have 80 per cent reduc-
tiOn to meet the needs of our army.
our navy and the allies" said Mr..
Hoover Here are his rules to effect
that conservation:
Il. The consumers of the country, as
their part in reducing the consumption
Of wheat -four. are called upon, in pur-
chasing such flour. to buy at the same
time an equal weight of other cereals
CcoFnmeal, corn starch, corn flour,
hominy. corn grits, barley flour, rice,
rice flour. oatmeal, rolled oats, buck
wheat flour, potato flour, sweet potato
-four. soya bean flour and fetorita
fiours and mealsl. The housewife may
use these products separately in max
ing bread, cakes. pastry, or mix them
as she thinks best Retailers are to
sell wheat flour only with an equal
weight of these other cereals.
''2. Consumers will be able to OBJ
tain mixed cereal bread from their
bakers. who will be required under
the license regulations to mix per
cent of other cereals with their wheat
-four, both in bread and rolls, and
will be required gradually to increase
this substitution until. beginning Feb
ruary "a, a minimum of 20 per cent
Of such cereals is to be used. The
Food Administration strongly urges
on consumers the buying of this bread,
which Will be known as victory bread,
and will contain not less than 20 per
cent Of cereals other than wheat.
Graham or whole wheat bread also
will be given that name. because, con-
tanning, as they do, 25 per cent more
OF the wheat lgrain than ordinary
white bread. they will too serve the
purpose Of saving wheat flour"
IF you bake bread at home, use
wheat substitutes; if you buy IT. buy
only victory bread
'Buy Victory Bread.Y
y -. Manufacturers OF macaroni. spa
ghett, noodles. crackers, breakfast
foods. pie. cake and pastry are not

corresponding months Of 1917. These
manufacturers viii be performing q

patriotic service by using cereals
other than wheat in their produce
tions.
Il. Wholesalers will be required, un-
der license regulations. not TO buy
more than 70 per cent of their pur-
chases Of flour from millers as based
on their purchases for the correspond
ing months OF the preceding year, asd
their sales to the retail trade must
be in the proportion Of one pound of
wheat flour to one pound Of other
cereals, this being the same proper
ton in which the retailer sells to the
consumer, unless the wholesaler sat
isfies himself that the substitutes have
been already purchased from another
source. A ruling has been made that
in making any combination sales un-
der this program, dealers shall name
a price for each of the articles SO
sold which shall not represent more
than a normal pre-war profit on any
one of the articles sold.
IS. Millers of -four are to distribute
their output through their customary
channels and markets in such a man
ner that each city, town and district
may receive its usual proportion. The
wheat millers have been required to
produce one barrel of -four Q96
pounds from 264 pounds of wheat.
This is a white flour and represents
from per cent to 4 per cent higher
extraction than from last years har-
vest.
Two wheatIess Days.
&c. To assist further in conserva-
ton. Monday and Wednesday of each
week are to be observed as wheatless
days, and one meal of each day as a
wheatless meal. This applies both IN
the home and In the public eating
place, and on such days and meals
no crackers, pastries, macaronl,
breakfast foods or other cereals con-
tanning wheat should be used. The
only exception to this is such small
amounts of -four as may be needed
for thickening soups or gravies or as
a binder in cornbread or other cereal
breads.
81. On wheatless days, and at
wheatIess meals, the Food Administa-
ton urges that bread baked in the
home be other than wheat bread.
Where bread is purchased, either for
use in public eating places or in the
home, victory bread should be used.
if no wheat substitutes can be found.
THE Federal Food Administrator
in each state will announce the meal
to be observed as a wheatless meal
in his state. If no meal is designated.
the United States Food Administra-
ton prefers that the evening meal be
wheatless.
The Washington herald., 1918-01-27
Two POrkless Days.

IS. 1t is further desired, in order
that meat and pork products be con-
served. that one meatless. day CTues-
day. in every week. and one meatless
meal in every day, be observed. and.
in addition, two porkless days CTues-
day and Saturday in every week, be
strictly kept. BY meatless Is meant
without hog. cattle or sheep products.
On otIter days use mutton and lamb
in preference to beef or pork. By
porkless is meant without pork.
bacon, ham, lard or pork products,
fresh or preserved. Use fish, poultry
and eggs.
80. For local situations where ex-
ceptiCns are necessary. application
should be made to the State Food
Administrators.
Mr.. Hoover. in explaining parts Of
the regulations, said:
THE mixing of twenty per cent of
other grain than wheat is mandatory
upon all except the housewives. We
do not have any doubt that the great
army of housewives will observe the
requests almost to the letter. There
has been about ninety-five per cent
observation of the conservation pro-
gram. There is always a small mi
nority Of course, but some of those
now can be reached by the law

Wheat is the king grain. During
January we are going to load for the
allies only So 600 tons. We should have
loaded 2s5,09o tons. But we could rot
get the cars to move it TO the sea-
board. That has been the seat of
our trouble: but we can see relief
coming now. If we can get the car
movement in good shape by February
l, the whole situation will be saved.
The shortage of cars has held up
everything. There is no shortage of
sugar. but the shortage of cars, has
affected its distribution. The corn
situation is the most difficult problem
in the whole country. There were
larger crops than usual. 10000 bush
els over the normal. But only about
forty per cent of it was moved.
Mills were closed down. There has
been a famine in corn from non dis
tributiOn. 1t has raised the price of
milk, bread and other supplies, for
corn forms about fifty per cent of
the total food supply. The Railroad
Administration is promising about
5000 to %o0OO cars and they are now
moving West. If We get them the
corn crisis will have been passed"
