Patriotic Americans will be asked to foreswear the use of all wheat products until after the coming harvest in resolutions to bo introduced before the conference.

We therefore request all citizens to uso substitutes and limit their consumption of white wheat flour to 2 Vt pounds per month. This practically means using none except as a binder. There Is no limit placed on barley, corn, rice, potato and rye flour. The time has come when we must save the wheat flour for our soldiers and allies In Europe.
