Announces New Food Regulations
Will Be Effective on
September !.
WHEATLESS DAYS END
Nations Fighting Central Powers VIII
All Eat Bread Made From 80
Per Cent Flour and 20 Per
Cent Substitutes.

Washington, Aug. 20. - Regulations
announced by Food Administrator
Hoover provide universal war bread
for all the nations arrayed against the
Contra! powers. under which wheat
flour restrictions in the United States
are relaxed, and the Allies given bread
containing more wheat than they have
had since the early days of the war.
The regulations are effective Sept.
1, and wheatless days and wheatless
meals will be discontinued on that
date
Under an International bread policy
formulated by the inter+allied food
council in London, all bread made
after Sept. 1 for France, England,
Italy. the United States and the other
Allies, will be made of mixed -four
containing 80 per cent wheat flour and
20 per cent substitute cereals. ! e. r..
Conflicting Orders Reseinded.
All present baking regulations in
conflict with the new plan are re-
scinded, including the half and half
regulations controlling -four sales to
householders, and that permitting
bakers to use only 20 per cent of their
normal supply of wheat flour.
All rationing' of bread among the Al
lied nations will be discontinued and
plenty of the new Victory bread" is
assured the civil populations at q time
when the wheat situation in Germany
and Austria is anything but promis
ing. KEY .'~.. u.
Ready mixed flour in the proportions
allowed by the food administration, in
accordance with its milling standards,
will be available for purchase by
householders, although this is not
compulsory. They are urged, how
ever. to buy the ready-mixed Victory
-four, but where pure wheat flour IL
purchased the regulations require re.
tailers to sell 20 per cent of substi-
tutes at the same time to each pur.
chaser.
~ Reiy on HousehoIders.
The food administration relies on
householders voluntarily to mix, their
bread in the same 1920, proportion 70
quired of bakers. vi . -. ,.,s~
All so-called Victory fours" may
be sold without substitutes. the regula-
lions provide, but at no greater price
from the miller, wholesalers or re-
taller than in the case of standard
wheat -four.
Whole wheat, or graham, -four may
be used without substitute, but 1t must
contain at least IS per cent Of the
wheat berry.

TEuToNS LOSING HOPE
Hopeless Despair Prevails on the
German Battle Front.
British Capture Many Letters Show
in Soldiers Realize Defeat 10
Inevitable.

With the British Army in France
Aug. 28.-Hopeless despair is begin
ming to prevail on the German side OF
the line, letters taken from prisoners
and dead soldiers indicate. One letter
written home by a German stationed
in q town which has now been cap
tured said: 4 -; w.
"The war has been lost for some
time, only those high up are failing to
admit it."
The letter added: "Oh. poor Ger.
many-only the dead at the front have
forgotten this swindle."
Another letter said: This. cannot
last much longer"
Still another German wrote:
"Our losses from the battle exceed
all the drafts. Germany is sure to
lose very soon."
It is q fact that many letters taken
from prisoners, whether written by
them to be- posted home or received by
them from civilians in the interior of
Germany, are in the same vein. One
German in Berlin chided his brother
at the front shout making rapid
progress to the rear. He then pre-
dicted that the war was surely COM
ing to an end and that with the Allies
then making an economic war Ger
many would be ruined.
Many of these letters we're written
before the British begun their drive.

Memorable Vacation.

Having a week off on account Of be-
ing overworked, and by advice of our
physician, our wife suggests that it
will be a corking opportunity to 60
over the house together and find tho
loose ends of things and fix them up.
She has laid out half q dozen blinds
and rollers that need fixing, carpet
that could be beat without hurting Its
general reputation, number Of pans
to solder a piece Of gable that's loose
on the roof; some rain spouting that
needs attention and few old family
pictures that could be frightened, dust
ted, polished, frames re-varnished, etc..
and stuck up in the parlor.
All in all, our weeks vacation is go
ing to be something to remember
