 Substitute With Wheat Flour.

Washington.-The American people went on war bread diet last Monday IS a part of a war rationing system prescribed by President Wilson and the food administration. Victory bread" the food administration calls it.
 The reduced rations are asked for the purpose of creating larger e1- port surplus of food for the European allies. Curtailment of consumption will be accomplished largely by volun- tary effort, but force will be employed wherever permitted under the food control act.
 The rationing system, as presented by the president in a proclamation and by Food Administrator Hoover in a list of regulations, forms the food administration 1918 food conserva- ton programme, of which the chief features are:
 A bakers bread of mixed Hours, which began last Monday with a five per cent substitution is reached Feb ruary A.
 Sale by retailers to householders of an equal amount of substitute Hours of every pound of wheat flour purchas- ed at the time the wheat flour is bought.
 Sale by millers to wholesalers and wholesalers to retailers of only 70 per cent of the amount of wheat four sold last year.
 Two wheatless days week-Mon- day and Wednesday-and one wheat less meal day.
 One meatless day a week-Tuesday and one meatless meal a day.
 Two porkless days week-Tuesday and Saturday.
 Manufactrers of macaroni, spaghet- ti, noodless. crackers and breakfast foods, pie, cakes and pastry will be permitted to buy only TO per cent of their last years purchases, and are asked to perform a patriotic service by using substitute four.
 Flour will be sold through the regu- lar channels and in such manner that each community will receive it's equivalent share.
 The food administration will pur- chase for the army and for the allies, as announced recently, 30 per cent of the four output, and out of this store will fill emergency requirements if stocks run low in any part of the country.
 Wheat millers are required to pro- duce one barrel of flour of 196 pounds from 164 pounds of wheat, which rep 1esents a "A per cent flour. No patent or special Hours may be manufactured, although whole wheat flour may De made as usual.
 Hotels and restaurants will be classed as bakeries and will be re- quired to serve the new victory bread.
 State food administrators will be permitted to designate the wheatless meal in each state. Where this is not done the food administration re- quests that the evening meal be ob- served as wheatless.
 The presidents proclamation, be- sides calling on the public for a fur ther reduction in consumption, makes a renewed appeal to the housewife to stop the waste of food. It asks a general observance of the food admin istrations's regulations and calls on the people, in addition, to hold down their consumption of sugar.
