Hoover Revokes All Special
Permits In Wheat Substitutes

Washington, d. c., March 8.-All
exceptions to the food administration
rule requiring the purchaser OF an
equal amount OF substitutes with each
purchase Of wheat flour, were revoked
today because of the necessity of con-
serving wheat for the allies.
The entire country thus is put on a
parity in regard to buying Of whea,
flour. Exceptions to the rule had
been allowed in certain localities
where substitutes are little known and
hard to obtain.
Increased demands for breadstuffs
from the allies were announced
several days ago when the food ad.
ministration abolished the meatless
meal and the porkless Saturday as the
consumption of wheat is closely re.
lated to the consumption OF meat and
y Is deemed more imperative to save
the grain.
Shortage in arrivals from the
Argentine caused the enlarged re.
quests on this country.
