NEW REGULATIONS
 AFFECTING BAKERS
Big Stocks on Hand and New Crop of
 Rye as Cause of Change.

Several important changes in the regulations governing licensed bak- CTS were announced on Wednesday from the office of Robert Scexille feed administrator. Until further notice, rye flour or rye meal may be used as partial wheat flour substitute It will be permitted as a substitute up to one=ffth of the substitute re- qnirements. as far example, a batch of dough for victory bread may con- tain 15 pounds of wheat four, % pounds of any of the present suhsti- tutes and pounds of rye flour.
 'In certain sections of the ceuntrv large stocks of rye flour were carried over from last years harvest and in other sections this years crop is all ready being harvested. Mir. Seoville said he believed this opportunity to use rye flour as partial substitute will materially assist in the use of the other substitutes.
 The period for the operation of the 79 per cent. flour rule govern ing bakers of all products other than bread and rolls, has been extended from July 31 to August 31 This means V.at all licensed bakers must continue to auftail to September l, the use of -four in sweet dough products, which must not exceed 70 per cent. of their outnut. during the month of August 1917, or one-sixth of what they have used for the past six months.
 From now. on there is no regula-
 tion as to what kind of shortening 1 shall be used by bakers, but econ
 only and conservation are urged whether animal fats vegetable fats
 and oils, compounds or butter are
 used In answer to many inquiries
 MT. SceWlle said yesterday that there
 have been some premature and un- authorized reports to the effect, that the list of substitutes might be
 changed and that the percentages tC
 be used in victory bread might bt lowered.
 Mr scoville added there were nc
 indieatiens that the present per centages for the sale of substitute
 with wheat flour and for the use 0 substitutes by~bakers in, victory breat will be changed. He was certain tha there would be no change Whatseeye ! before November 1. and possibly non thea. Bakers throughout Connection
 were advised by the Food adfainistra ton on Wednesday, that they mus make their reports promptly on tim
 and that it is violation of the law t sell extract or malt four to individ l uals. these products being purchase } by the bakers solely for use in thei bakery products. MT. Scoville a1s
 emphasized the fact that rye is nc a substitute for sale to housewive and that. the fifty fifty" salies rul l ! on substitutes continues in force.
