"To speak of the pure old Egyptian

The speaker corrected many popular
misconceptions about the historic

to maintain enough supplies and ne
cessary reserves against disaster,
there must be maintained in all coun
tries a conservation of wheat flour
during the coming year.
It has been agreed that the wheat
bread of the Allies shall contain 20
per cent of other grains than wheat,
and It la only just that we should bear
our share In this saving, and our
bread should be at least universal
with those who are suffering more
greatly from the war than ourselves.
Distribution and transportation cir
cumstances in the United States ren
der it necessary to rely very largely
on voluntary action In our homes to
enforce this mixture. The Victory
Bread so made Is wholesome, and
there is no difficulty in preparation.
We desire to emphasize the fact that
the mixtures outlined below are for
wheat bread and the saving of wheat
flour, but they are not Intended to dis-
placd the Targe use of corn bread. We
must use the mixture with wheat flours
In addition to our normal consumption
of corn bread.
New Rules Promulgated
For this purpose, regulations are
formulated below, effective September
1, providing:
(1) For the preparation und mar
keting by the manufacturing and dis
tributing trades of the country of a mix
ed flour complying with the interna
tional policy which will be available
for purchase by thc household.
(2) In regulations covering i
case where straight wheat flour
sold by retailers that at the same
time 20 per cent of other cereal flours
must he sold coincidentally.
(3) Requiring that all bakers’
bread shall contain 20 per cent of oth
er cereajs.
The Food Administration relies upon
the householders of the country to mix
at least 20 per cent of substitute ce
reals Into thc wheat flour at home for
all uses.' Corn meal for use In corn
bread should be purchased separately
from combination sales.

It Is desired to insure a supply of
ready-miked flours on the market and
to have millers and dealers of all kinds
encourage the use and sale of this

sales of flour und substitutes. All
such mixed flours made according to
the following regulations should be

hation of some one or more of these
In the proportion of one pound sub
stitute to each four pounds of wheat
flour. No dealer may force any otjyer
substitutes in combination upon the
consumer, and these substitutes must
conform to the standard fixed "by the
United States Food Administration.
There are some localities where oth
er substitutes are available and which
retailers may wish to carry In order
to meet this situation. - The following
flours may also be sold In such combi
nation In lieu of the above flours it the
consumer so demands at the ratio of
one pound to each four pounds wheat
flour: kaffir flour, milo flour, feterita
flour and meals, rice flour, oat flour,
peanut Sour, bean flour, potato flour,
sweet potato flour, and buckwheat
flour. j
Pure rye flour or meals may be
sold as a substitute, but must be sold
lu proportion of at least two pounds of
rye with three pounds wheat flour.
The foregoing rules apply to all cus
tom and exchange transactions as well
as sales of flour to farmers, unless
modified by special order of the Fed
eral Food Adminiatrator of the State
acting with the approval of the Zone
Committee. I

uation above, the following alterations
are made in rules and regulations
governing the baking trade:
.Rule la. Thc consumption of wheat
flour In bakery products not to exceed ,
70 per. cent of the 1917 consumption is
hereby rescinded.
Rule 2a. Wheat flour substitutes
for bakers remain as heretofore with
the exception of rye, which will be af~
substltutc when used upon a basis of
not less than 40 per cent, which is two
pounds of rye flour to every three
pounds of standard wheat flour. When
rye is used In this proportion, .
or a greater proportion, no oth
er subslitutes are required. If less
than this proportion of rjte flour Is
used the difference between such
amount used and 40 per cent must be
made up of other substitutes.
Rule 6a. Bakers will be required to
use one pound of substitutes to each
four pounds of wheat flour in all ba
kery products, including bread, except
Class 3a crackers, In which only 10. .
per cent substitutes other than rye
aro required. .The use of the name
"Victory” will be allowed in all prod
ucts containing the above proportions
of substitutes.
