Explain New Wheat Ruling to Thousands of Customers In sures Greater Food Saving. Military Neceaaity Calls for Greater Sacrifice Here Allied War Bread Mutt Be Maintained Our Soldiers and Sailors to Have Full Allowance. If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary propor tion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we must reduce our monthly consumption to 21,000,000 bushels a month, as against our normal consumption of about 42,000,000 bushels, or 50 per cent, of our normal consumption. This is the situa tion as set forth by the U. S. Food Administration at Washing ton. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and ,for special cases, leaves for general consumption approximately IVi pounds of wheat products weekly per person. The Food Administration's statement centinues: Many of our consumers are dependent upon bakers' bread. Such bread must be durable and therefore, requires a larger proportion of wheat products than cereal breeds baked in the household. Our army and navy require a full allowance. The well-to-do in our population can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat products than can the poor. In addition, our population in the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abun dant, are more skilled in the preparation of breads from these other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations. With improved transportation conditions we now have avail able a surplus of potatoes. We also have in the spring months a surplus of milk, and we have ample corn and oats for human consumption. The drain on rye and barley, as substitutes, has already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains. To effect the neelel saving of wheal we are wholly dependent upon the voluntary asalstsnce of the American people and we ssk that the following rules ahsil be observed : 1. Householders to use not to exceed s total of I 'i pounds per week of whest products per person. Thin means not more thnn iwiiinds of Victory bread eOBtalBlag the required percendiKc of HUhHtltutcx mid otic luilf found of cooking flour, maciironi, trackers, pastry, plea, takes, vfeasl brciikfaxt cereals, all combined. 2. i'ubllc Mtlag placet ami cIiiIih lo observe two ebaBtlOM dnjs per week, Monday and WcducHday, hn at present. In addition thereto, not lo nerve to sny one guest ut any one meal an cent, of the average monthly amount purchased In the four mouths prior to March 1. 6. Manufacturers using wheat prod uct for non-food purpose ahould lease such use entirely. 6. There Is no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours, and mcaln. corn, barley, buckwheat, potalo flour, et cetera, Many thousand families throughout the land ale now using no wheat prOflV nets whatever, except a cry small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so In perfect health and HStlsfilc tlon. There la no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook In their own households cannot aggregate of breadstuff-, mucaronl, " L '"" '"' "', " of crackers, pastry, plea, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, containing a total of more than two ounces of wheat flour. No wheat products lo he served unless specially ordered, i'ubllc eat ing establishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products for each ninety meals served, thus con forming with the limitations requested of the householders. S. Itetsllers to sell not more thsn one eighth of a barrel of flour to any town customer st sny one time and "not mors than one -quarter of a barrel to any country customer at any one time, and In no case to sell wheat products without Uie ssle of sn equal weight of other cereals. 4. We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victory bread sold, by delivery of the three qnurter pound loaf where one pound was sold b-fore, and corresponding proportions in other welghta. We also ask bakers not to Increase the amount of their wheat flour purchases beyond 70 per less whest products than 084 Htid one lialf pounds a week, and we specially ask the well-to-do households In Him country to follow this additional pro gramme In order that we may pro. id.. the necessary marginal supplies for those parts of the community leas able to adapt themselves to so large a pro portion of substitutes. In order that we shall he able to make the wheat exports (hat are ab solutely demanded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the allies and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary coopera tion of the public by a further limit lion of distribution, and we shall place once restrictions on distribution which will be adjusted from time to time to secure at nearly equllable dis tribution as possible. With the arrival of harvest we should be able to relax such restrictions. Until thea we aak for the necessary patience, ascilfice and co-operation of the distributing trades. -W EVERYONE MUST HELP. , T Wars cannot be fought without money, and upon tho Treasury centers vary financial demand upon tho Nation.

This ruling by . Hie U. H. I'ood Administration requires each purchaser of wheat flour to nuy one pound of cereal substitute, one kind or assorted, for every pound of wheal flour. It was necessary to re strict the use of wheat flour In order that the allies and our lighting forces uhmnd might be. assured of an ade quate supply or wheat to meet their vital needs. This supply must come from our savings because we buvw al ready sent our normal surplus Wheat saving pledge cards were for- warded by the Food Administration to all retail food merchants, and these are being signed and (aisled In atores . throughout the country. This card stales, "We pledge ourselves loyally lo j carry out the Food Administration pro gram. In accordance with this order , we will not sell any wheal flour except where the purchaser buys an i-q ml , weight of ot r more of the following, , a greater use of which In tea home I will save wheat : "Cortmieal, corn flour, edible corn 1 starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, potato flour, sweet pola! flour, sny bean flour, Merita flour and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, roiietl outs anil buckwheat flour." Home confusion has resulted on the , part of the consumer in construing . this "60-ftO" ruling to mean that an equal amount In value of substitutes must be purchased with wheat flour. j This la a mistaken Idea. The ruling slates that the consumer in purchasing flour shall "buy at the same time an equal weight of other cereals." One exception to this ruling Is con cerning graham flour anil hole wheat flour, which may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat flour. This pm.lslon Is made because approximately 20 per cent, more of the wheal berry Is used In the manufacture of these flours than simul ant wheat flour. Another exception Is that concern ing mixed flours containing less than BQ per cent, of wheat flour, which may be sold without substitute. Itelullcrs. however, are forbidden to sell mixed flours containing more I hall ftO per cent, of wheat flour to any person un less the amount of wheat flour substi tutes sold Is sufllelent to make the to tal amount of substitute. Including those mixed In flours, equal to the to tal amount In wheat flour In the mixed flour. For Instance, If any mixed flour Is purchased containing 00 per cent, wheat flour and 40 per cent, aubatl tutea It la necessary that an additional 20 per cent, of substitutes bo pur chased. This brings It lo the basis of one pound of substitutes for each pound of wheat flour. A special exemption may be granted upon application In the case of social ly prepared Infanta' and Invalids' food containing flour where the necessity Is shown. Some misunderstanding serins to oi ls! on the part of consumers in assum ing that with the purchase of wheat flour one must confine the additional IV) per cent, purchase to one of (he substitutes. This Is not the case, tine may select from (he entire range of substitutes a sufficient amount of each to bring the total weight of all aubatl tutea equal lo the weight of the wheal flour purchased. For instance. If a purchase of 24 pounds of wheat flour Is made a range of substitutes may bo selected as fotlowa : Oorninoal, 8 peunds: corn grits, 4 peund: rice, 4 pounds; buck whest, 3 pounds ; corn at arch, 1 pound ; hominy, 2 pounds ; rolled oata, pound.
