SERIOUS SHORTAGE OF FLOUR IS AHEAD ATLANTA, Ga., April 8. —The seri- * ous nature of the flour shortage in this country is proven by the order requiring an inventory by all whole- [ sale and retail dealers, all hotels and MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1918. restaurants and all heads of families, which has just been issued by Dr. Soule, federal food administrator for Georgia, through his executive head quarters in Atlanta, which is in charge of D. F. McClatchey. The order requires all persons and firms included above to file an inven tory not later than April 18 showing the amount of flour in their possession in excess of 30 days' supply. Ther allowance of the Food Administration for one person for 30 days is six pounds of flour. Hence if there be a family of five persons, they are al lowed to consume 30 pounds of flour in 30 days. All in excess of this quantity must be shown in the inven tory which is to be filed in te ojees here of the food administration. Dealers in flour are allowed to sell to customers on the basis of this 6- pound allowance per person per mohtn, and hence are limited to the amount actually necessary to supply their regular suctomers. Restaurants ard hotels are likewise strictly limit ed to this allowance. Atlanta hotels have stopped serving wheat flour en tirely.
