3. Manufacturers using wheat prod.
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
g. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, flours, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat, potato flour. ct
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing SO in perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook in their own households cannot
subslst perfectly well with the use OF
less wheat products than n and one
half pounds a week, and we specially
ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme in order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
tn adapt themselves to so large a pro
portion of substitutes.
In order thai we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
s~olutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our W army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary cO-opera-
ton of the public by IA further limita.
ton of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
trlbution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation of the distributing
trades.

voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed!
L. H~ouseholders to use not to exceed
a total of III pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than IN pounds of
victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking flour, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
2 Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any n guest at any one meal an
aggregate OF breadstufs. macaroni,
crackers pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, containing a total
Of more than two ounces of wheat
flour. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat

products without the sale of an equal

America Consumed a ,OOO,O 600 Bushels Monthly.
From Now Until Harvest Must Use
Only 2l,OOO,O 600.
RATION PER PERSON IS T. POUNDS
OF WHEAT PRODUCTS WEEKLY
Military Necessity Calls for Greater Sacrifice Here-AIied War
Bread Must Be Maintained-Our Soldiers and
Sailors to Have Full Allowance.

If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary propor-
ton of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the
next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we must reduce
our monthly consumption to $1,000, 900 bushels a month, as
against our normal consumption of about 42, 1000, 900 bushels,
or so per cent. of our normal consumption. This is the situa-
ton as set forth by the y. S. Food Administration at Washing
ton. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for
special cases, leaves for general consumption approximately
" pounds of wheat products weekly per person. The Food
Administrations statement continues: Many of our consumers
are dependent upon bakers bread. Such bread must be durable
and therefore, requires a larger proportion of wheat products
than cereal breads baked in the household. Our army and
navy require a full allowance. The wellto-do in our population
can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat
products than can the poor: In addition, our population in
the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abun-
dant, are more skilled in the preparation of breads from these
other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations.
With improved transportation conditions we now have avail
able a surplus of potatoes; We also have in the spring months
q surplus of milk, and we have ample corn and oats for human
consumption. The drain on rye and barley, as substitutes, has
already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored 100 100000 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of SO,OOO,.
900 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1S0, 100000 bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, hao
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
$4,000, 900 bushels more out Of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135,O00.0OO to
the left over.
1t is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.
