New Wheat Saving Program Demand
ed Allied .Food Shortage In
creases America Must
Feed Fighters.
Explaining tlie United States Food
Administration's new OO-uO wheat reg
ulations is u war time task the Ameri
can grocer has trlally shouldered.
Many stores are already displaying
their Kood Administration wheat sav
ing pledge cards, tUl they have sign
ed, ugreeing to curry out the new
wheat program.
Each Hour customer is now requir
ed to buy one pound of cereal substi
tute for every pound of wheat Hour.
The substitute mny he of one kind or
assorted. This 00-50 sale Is made by
weight and not by value of the com
modities'. There Is, of course, no reg
ulation demanding the consumer to
buy wheat Hour at nil.
A wide variety of substitutes has
been provided : Comment, corn flour,
edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits,
liarley flour, potato flour, sweet potato
flour, soya bean Hour, r'eterilu flour
and meals, rice, rice flour, outmeal,
rolled onts and buckwheat flour. -
Graham and whole wheat flour con
stitute nn exception to the national
regulation. Either of these commodi
ties may be sold at the ratio of three
pounds to five pounds of wheat fljur
that is, five pounds of graham or
wheat flour counts the same us three
pounds of the usual wheat flour.
Mixed flours form another excep
tion. Where any Hour contains 00
tier cent, or less of wheat It may be
sold without any substitutes. Where
the flour Is mixed at the rate of CO
per cent, wheat and 10 per cent, of
other Ingredients an additional U0 per
cent, of substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer.
Where necessity Is shown specially
prepared Infant's and Invalid's food
containing flour may be sold.
Thnt the approved substitutes may
be assorted Is a fact many grocers
and housewives overlooked for a time.
For Instance, If a customer wishes to
buy a 21 pound sack of flour the nec
essary substitutes might be assorted
as follows: Cornmeul, 8 pounds; coru
grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buck
wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, 1 pound;
hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3
pounds. i
None of the substitutes should he
considered ns a waste purchase.
There are many household uses for
emh. The eight pounds of cornmeal
can be made Into cornbread, corn muf
fins or used in the baking of wheat
bread.
Cornstarch Is useful In making cus
tard, thickening gravy or mny be used
In enke iiuklng. Coru grits fried like
mush forms a delicious dish, or it mny
be used in baking corn bread. Rolled
oatsiire used largely as breakfast por
ridge or in oatmeal cookies or in
making muffins.
Buckwheat flour may be used In
bread making, forming an excellent
substitute for one-quarter of the
wheat flour, but Is especially choice in
the form of buckwheat cakes for
breakfast.
With 11 wheatless meals needed
each week In America t'o provide
enough wheat for the allies, the Food
Administration believes the substitutes
will all be used to advantage.
USE LESS WHEAT.
The nllled nations have mnde
further Increased demands on
us for breadstulTs demands
thnt Americans are obligated to
meet.
In the meantime America's
meat supply lias been greatly
Increased for some months to
come by the unprecedented
shipping to market of bogs that
averaged 2H2 pounds each In
stend of 203 pounds the nor
mnl. The United Stntes Food Ad
ministration, endeavoring to ad
just the intornntimml food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions In this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time asked for a smaller con
sumption of breadstulTs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatless day each week
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. Rut
our bread ration must be held
to n minimum.
In altering Its food conserva
tion program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation -is of necessity,
subject to . radical changes,
caused by crop conditions nt
home and abroad and by the
precarious transportation prob
lem, both In overseas shipping
and In America's overburdened
transportation system.
The Food Administration will
keep the Amerlcnn people fully
and frankly advised of each
change in the developing situa
tion that they may know defi
nitely the part their food sac
rifices play in the world war.

WOMEN ASK M
RATIONING PLAN
American Women Volunteer to
Buy Fixed Amounts ot Meat,
Bread Flour, Su;ar
and Butter.
PLAN STARTED IN NEW Y0.1K.
Idea Supplements U. S. Food Adminlt
tration's New 'Home Card Now
in 10,000,000 Homes.
The women of America, who are
anxious to do their gieut part In the
winning of the war, are now, us a
whole, familiar with Mie most Impor
tant uspecls of food conservation. The
Home Card, both in its original form
uiid iu the revised edition for 1018,
which provides for two wheatless days,
one meatless day u week, iu udditiou
to a wheatless meal every day, has been
placed by the Food Administration aft
er a vigorous campaign in lO.OOO.lHK)
American homes. An Intelligent und
conscientious observance of the Home
Card's requirements is all the Food
Administration asks of the housewives
of the country.
The. Food Administration has had a
great many .cquests, however, particu
larly from the hom-.-s of the well-to-do,
that it. should issue a worked out plan
for a voluntary system of rationing.
This desire- for a voluntary ration
springs from two causes first, be
cause it is far simpler for the house
wife to save food when she has a con
crete working plan by which to pro
ceed, and, second, because the loyal
women of America aesire, unselfishly,
to put themselves on the same basis
as the women of the Allied countries.
The ration proposed by the Food Ad
ministration is almost , the same as
that adopted in England for voluntary
observance. All over the United King
dom, in hundreds of houses there
hangs in the front window a card with
the stirring pledge, "IN HONOR
BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION.
AL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RA
TIONS." The ration recommended by the
Food Administration, and adopted first
In J'ew York city, whence the idea has
spread through the entire country, la
the following:
Weekly
Allowance
Per I'erson.
Meat Beef (fresh, salted, tin
ned and hashed) ; mutton,
lamb and veal (mutton by
preference) 2 lbs.
Butter ft lb..
looking Fats (margarine, Inrd,
lard substitutes, vegetuble
oils) ft lb.
Wheat Flour (for use in cook
ing gravies, etc., where
com starch, cracker dust
or bread crumbs cannot be
substituted) lb.
Victory Bread (containing at
least 20 per cent, of a sub
stitute for wheat flour)..,. 1 lbs.
Sugar (Including all sugar
used on the tuble and in
cooking and all sweaineuts
and candies, but not that
used for cunning and pre
serving) lb.
The items listed above are the only
ones which are definitely limited. In
the case of milk nnd cream, as much
mny be used us necessary, and chll
dren, of course, must hnve their full
allowance of whole milk. Fish und
poultry, any cereal other than wheat,
vegetables nnd fruits nnd cheese mny
he used as freely as is desired.
The above ration Is in no wise In
tended to supplant the Home Card,
hut rather t supplement it. It bus
been published with the Idea that It
will be n very real nid to the Amerl
cnn woman In her splendid effort to
carry out the great food conservntlon
program.
USE MORE POTATOES.
VA.P consume the
1017 record break
ing pot n to crop,
(ioverntnent ex
perts hnve esti
mated that over 700,000 extra
acres of potatoes were planted
last year. The United States
Food Administration is endeavor
ing to push the nation's big po
tato stocks Into channels of
trade and has placed potatoes
on the list of substitutes that
may be bought along with wheat
flour.
Potato soup has become a war
dish. Here is a recipe that has
been tested by United Stales
Food Admlnislratlon experts. In
gredients needed are three pota
toes, one quart of milk, two
slices onion, three tnblespoons
butter substitute, two table
spoons Hour, one and one-half
tablespoons salt, one-quarter
teaspoon celery salt, one-eighth
teaspoon pepper, few grains cay
enne nnd one teaspoon chopped
parsley.
Cook potatoes In boiled salted
water. When soft run through
a strainer. Scald milk with on
ion, remove onion and add milk
slowly to potatoes. Melt the fat,
add dry Ingredients, stir until
well mixed, then stir Into boiling
soup. Cook one minute, strain
and sprinkle with, barley.

The
Live stock is marketed from
farmer to consumer at a lower
cost than almost any other farm
product.
The United States Department of
agriculture reported in 1916 that the
farmer gets for his cattle "approxi
mately two-thirds to three-fourths" of
the final retail price paid by the con
sumer for the resulting beef.
Under normal conditions, the farmer's
share of retail prices of various farm
products is approximately as follows:
Butter
CATTLE
Eggs
Potatoes
Ptnltrv
Fruits 35 per cent
The difference between farmer's price
and retail price represents the necessary
expenses of packing, freight and whole
sale and retail distribution.
Swift & Company not only performs
the manufacturing operations of pre
paring cattle for market in its well
equipped packing plants, but it pays the
freight on meat to all parts of the
United States, operates 500 branch
distributing houses, and in most cases
even delivers to the retail butcher. All
this is done at an expense of less than 2
cents per pound, and at a profit of only
about 4 f a cent Per pound of beef.
Large volume of business and expert
management, make possible this indis
pensable service to the live-stock raiser
and to the consumer, and make possible
the larger proportion of retail prices
received by farmers.
