are not to purchase to exceed 20 per
cent of the wheat -four they used
during the corresponding month of
1917. These manufacturers will be
performing a patriotic service by us
ing cereals other than wheat in
their production.
Fourth Wholesalers will be re-
quired, under license regulations,
not to buy more than seventy per
cent GO per cent? of their pur-
chases of flour from millers as based
on their purchases for the, corre-
spending months of the preceding
year, and their sales to the retail
trade must be in the proportion of
one pound of wheat -four to one
pound of other cereals, this being
the same proportion in which the re-
taller sells to the consumers, unless
the wholesaler satisfies himself that
the substitutes have been already
purchased from another source.
"A ruling has been made that in
making any combination sales under
this programme dealers shall name
price for each of the articles so
sold, which shall not present more
than a normal prewar profit on any
one of the articles sold.
WHEATLESS AND MEATLESS
DAYS.
"Fifth-Millers of -four are to
distribute their output thru their
customary channels and markets in
such manner that each city, town
and district may receive its usual
proportion. The wheat millers have
been required to produce one barrel
of -four (196 pounds) from 264
pounds of wheat. This is white
flour and represents from two per
cent g per cent? to four per cent
a per cent? per higher extraction
than from last years harvest.
"Sixth-To assist further in con-
servation, Monday and Wednesday of
each week are to be observed as
wheatless days, and one meal of each
day as a wheatless meal. This ap-
plies both in the home and in the
public eating place, and on such days
and meals no crackers, pastries,
macaroni, breakfast foods or other
cereals containing wheat should be
used. The only exception to this is
such small amount of -four as may
be needed for thickening soups or
gravies, or as binder in corn bread
or other cereal breads.
"Seventh-On wheatless days, and
at wheatless meals, the food admin
istration 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 Admins
traitor in each State will announce
the meal to be observed as a wheat
less meal in his State. If no meal
is designated, the United States Food
Administration prefers that the
evening meal be wheatless.
"Eighth-It is further desired, in
order that meat and pork products
be conserved, that one meatless day
Tuesday in every week, and one
meatless meal in every day, be OBJ
served, and, in addition, two pork
less days (Tuesday and Saturday, in
every week be strictly kept. By
'meatless' is meant without hog,
cattle or sheep products. On other
days use mutton and lamb in pref
erence to beef or pork BY 'porkless'
is meant without pork, bacon, ham,
lard or pork products, fresh or pre-
served. Use fish, poultry and eggs.
"Nfnth-For local situations
where exceptions are necessary ap-
plication should be made to the
