CHANGE IN FOOD REGULATIONS
WILL BE STRIKINGLY SHOWN
I IN APPEARANCE OF BREAD
VARIOUS OTHER CHANGES. i
—
Tlie Georgia food administration
| has completely revised the rules which I
(have been governing the sale and con-1
sumption of wheat and wheat products'
jin the State during the past several |
months.
The most important changes are j
the abolition of the flour card permit j
system for farmers; revison of the!
50-50 regulation governing the sale
of flour, and flour substitutes are con- j
fined solely to rye flour, barley flour,!
and corn flour. Baking regulations'
I
are completely changed, permission j
being given for the use of 80 per cent j
wheat flour and 20 per cent substi-1
tutes.
Corn meal must be bought separ- j
lately from the off-set substitutes ini
the purchase of wheat flour, and va- i
rious other changes will be in effect. I
——
FLOOR CBNSiIPTIi
LIMIT HUS BEEN REMOVED
New Regulations, Effective on Sep
tember First, Abolished Six
Pound Monthly Limit.
Amplification of the new regula
tions controlling the handling and use
\of wheat flour on and after Septem
ber 1, issued Thursday by Dr. An
drew M. Soule, include a further di
rection from the United States food
administration in Washington that
“the new wheat conservation program
supersedes the order of restriction to
six pounds of wheat flour per per
son per month,” and under this Dr.
Soule announces that there will, after
September 1, be no restriction under
the new rule, but emphasizes the fact
that “the administration earnestly
urges every household and individual
in the State to practice without the
necessity of reverting again to spe
cific regulation, the strictest reason
able economy in the consumption of
wheat flour.”
Thursday’s amplification of the pre
ceding order materially increases the
list of flour substitutes, as set out in
the original order. The following are
now listed as substitutes: Barley flour,
corn meal, corn flour, kaffir flour, mi
lo flour, feterita flour, rice flour, oat
flour (not oatmeal, peanut flour (not
peanuts), bean flour (not beans), po
tato flour, sweet potato flour (not po
tatoes) and buckwheat flour.
The new order also provides that
the present stock on hand of mixed
flours, containing 20 per cent or more
of substitutes for wheat, may be sold
without substitutes until that stock
has been exhausted. However, if
these stocks contain less than twenty
per cent substitutes to the full pound,
then substitutes must be sold with
|such mixed flour. The new rule here
tofore promulgated applied to mixed
.flours manufactured after September
first.

As Result of Notice in News and Sun
Red Cross Has Received About
Seventy-Five Dozen Eggs.
It pays to advertise. If you don’t
believe it ask Mrs. Roswell H. Drake,
president of the local chapter of the
American Red Cross. She will tell
you it pays to advertise and pays' well.
l.ast ivionuay Mrs. Drake inserted
a local in the News and Sun asking
the rural free delivery mail carriers
to solicit one or more eggs from peo
ple on their routes, the same to be
placed in the mail boxes and collected
by the carriers, and then sold for the
benefit of the Red Cross.
And eggs at once began to roll in.
They have been coming ail the week.
The hens throughout the county
heard of the call and began to “lay”
more industriously. To state the num
ber “eggsactly” by Saturday morning
seventy-two dozen or more eggs had
been received and the Griffin chap
ter of the Red Cross is deriving great
benefit. Mrs. Drake is disposing of
the choice country eggs at almost fa
bulous prices as fast as she receives
them. The people are glad to get
them and are willing to pay for them.
They also read the advertisemnt and
are anxious to help the local chapter,
and at the same time getting their
money’s worth in fresh eggs.
Mrs. Drake will take a rest Sunday,
but she would not be surprised even
then to see eggs coming in.
It pays to advertise!
