IVay To Save
Flour.
Boston, Atig.6.—A concerted move
ment to save white flour was started
in ihe.-tate today. At the suggestion
of Henry B. Endicott, sta te food ad-
ministra’or, the majurity of hotels,
restaurants and clubs will refrain
from serving white bread during the
entire week. Thousands of house
holders have expressed the intention
of joining in the movement by using
this week only corn, rye and other
grains in making bread. Mr. E:i iicott
expressed the opinion that in this way
fully 50.000 barrels of flour would be
saved.
