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. Ready-Mixed Flour For Sale Aa Vic. tory Mixed Flour 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 flour, so that the country may be on a mixed flour basis without the neces sity of retailers making combination sales of flour und substitutes. All such mixed flours made according to the following regulations should be labeled “Victory Mixed Flour” and aro to be labeled with the ingredients In order of their proportion. The flours so mixed must be milled In accord ance with the standards of the United States Food Administration.

The Cafq de la Regence has been In Its present site In Rne Saint Hon ors since the early years of the second empire.

Mixed wheat and corn flour shall contain the proportion of four pounds wheat flour to one pound corn flour. Mixed wheat, barley and corn flour ■hall contain the proportions of eight pounds wheat flour to one pound, bar- lay and one pouu I corn flour. Mixed wheat and rye flour shall contain the proportion of three pounds wheat flour and not lees than two pounds rye flour. Whole wheat, entire wheat or gra ham flour or ir -al shall contain at least 96 per cent of the wheat berry. All the above Victory mixed flours may be sold without substitutes, but at no greater price from the miller. wholesaler or retail dealer than in the case of standard wheat flour. Retail 8ale of Standard Wheat Flour Tho new regulations supersede the 60-50 rule. The retail dealer selling standard wheat flour Is required to carry in stock either barley flour, corn meal or corn flour, and with every sale of wheat flour must sell a combi- 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 Bakers’ Regulations In compliance with the general sit 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. Revision of Previous Rules The previous rules limiting licenses, millers, wholesalers and retailers and bakers to thirty days supply of flour,, will be changed to permit a sixty days ■ supply. The rules limiting sales by retailer* of wheat flour to one-eighth of a bar rel In cities and a quarter barrel In sparsely settled districts are rescind ed. The rule limiting the sale of flour by millers to wholesalers, or whole salers to retailers, In combination with substitutes or certificates there for, and the rules restricting the sale to 70 per cent of previous sales art rescinded. Manufacturers of alimentary pastes and wheat breakfast foods are limited to their normal consumption of wheat or wheat flour with the understanding that they are not to unduly expand their ordinary consumption of wheat Rules prohibiting the starting of new plants ready for operation prior to July 1, 1918, are rescinded.
