Substitutes.
Beginning September /, the rule re-
quiring the purchase and use Of wheat I
flour and substitutes on a $3.50 basis /
will be superseded in the United States /
and allied countries by a new rule re-
quiring that the proportion be only 20
per cent of substitutes to 80 per cent |
wheat flour.
The following telegram was receiv-
ed Tuesday from Herbert Hoover, ma
tional administrator:
220,000,000 Asked to Comply.
"The recent careful survey by the
food administrators of the United
States, France, England and Italy of
the food resources of the 220,000,OO0
people fighting against Germany
shows that to maintain enough sup
plies and necessary reserves against
disaster, there must be maintained in
all countries a conservation of wheat
flour during the coming year.
1T has been agreed that the wheat
bread of the allies shall contain 20
per NcIl VI Ol4CA aAh1 lAHA
and it is only just that we should bear
our share in this saving. Distribution
and transportation circumstances in
the United States render it necessary
to rely very largely on voluntary &C
ton to enforce this mixture.
Don't FOrsake COrnbread.
The Victory bread so made is
wholesome and there is no difficulty
in preparation. We desire to empha-
size the fact that mixtures outlined be-
low are for wheat bread and the saw
ing of wheat flour, but they are not in
tended to displace the large use OF
corn bread. We must use the mixture
with wheat flour in addition to ouI
normal consumption of corn bread.

1T is desired to insure a supply o.
ready mixed flours on the market anC
TO have millers and dealers of al
kinds encourage the use and sale o
this flour so that the country may b.
on a mixed flour basis without tn
necessity of retailers making com
bination sales of flour and substi
tutes. All such mixed flours mad
according to the following regula
tions should be labeled Victory Nike
flour and are to be labeled with tn
ingredients in order of their proper
ton.
THE flour so mixed must be mile
in accordance with the standard

"All the above Victory mixed flo'
