Explain New Wheat Ruling to
Thousands of Customers— In-
sures Greater Food Saving
Grocers of the nation have accepted
enthusiastically the 60-60 basis for the
purchase of wheat floor and are doing
their utmost to explain the new regu-
lation to the housewife This ruling by
the C S Food Administration requires
each purchaser of wheat flour to buy
one pound of cereal substitute one
kind or assorted for every pound of
wheat flour It waa necessary to re-
strict the use of wheat flour in order
that the allies and our fighting forces
abroad might be assured of an ade-
quate supply of wheat to meet their
vital needs This supply must come
from our savings because we have al-
ready sent onr normal aurplua
Wheat saving pledge cards were for-
warded by the Food Administration to
all retail food merchants and these
are being signed and posted In stores
throughout the country This card
states "We pledge ourselves loyally to
carry out the Food Administration pro-
gram In accordance with this order
we will not sell any wheat flour except
where the purchaser buys an equal
weight of one or more of the following
a greater use of which In the home
will save wheat :
“Corn meal corn flour edible com
starch hominy corn grits barley flour
potato floor sweet potato floor soy
bean flour feterlta flour and meals
rice rice flour oatmeal rolled oats and
buckwheat flour"
Some confusion has resulted on the
part of the consumer In construing
this "50-50" ruling to mean that an
equal amount In value of substitutes
must be purchased with wheat flour
This Is a mistaken idea The ruling
states that the consumer in purchasing
flour shall "buy at the same time an
equal weight of other cereals"
One exception to this ruling Is con-
cerning graham flour and whole wheat
flour which may be sold at the ratio
of three pounds to flvo pounds of
wheat flonr This provision Is made
because approximately 25 per cent
more of the wheat berry Is used In the
manufacture of these flours than stand-
ard wheat flonr
Another exception la that concern-
ing mixed flours mntalnlng less than
GO per cent of wheat flonr which may
be aold without substitutes Retailers
however are forbidden to sell mixed
floors containing more than 60 per
cent of wheat flonr to any person un-
less the amount of wheat flour substi-
tutes sold la sufficient to make the to-
tal amount of anbetltutes including
those mixed In floors equal to the to-
tal amount In wheat flour In the mixed
flour For Instance If any mixed floor
Is purchased containing 00 per cent
wheel floor and 40 per cent substi-
tutes It la neceasary that an additional
20 per cent of substitutes be pur-
chased This brings It to the basis of
one pound of aubatltutes for each
pound of wbeat flonr
A special exemption may be granted
upon application In the case of special-
ly prepared Infanta and Invalids’ food
containing flour where the necessity Is
shown
Some misunderstanding seems to ex-
ist on the part of consumers In assum-
ing that with the purchase of wheat
flour one must confine the additional
50 per cent purchase to one of the
substitutes This Is not the case One
may select from the entire range of
substitutes a sufficient amount of each
to bring the total weight of all substl
tutea equal to the weight of the wheat
floor purchased For Instance If a
purchase of 24 pounds of wheat flour
la made a rang of aubatltutes may be
elected as follows :
Comment 8 pounds com grits 4
pounds rice 4 pounds buckwheat 8
pounds corn starch 1 pound hominy
2 pounds rolled oats 8 pounds
These substl tntea may be used In
the following manner t
Comment 8 Pounds— Cora bread no
flour com muffins or spoon bread
one-fourth flour or one-third rice ot
one-third hominy t 20 per cent substl
lutes In whole bread
Cora Starch 1 Pound— Thickening
gravy making custard one-third sub-
stitute In cake
Corn Grits 4 Pounds— Fried Uks
mush used with meal In making corn
breed
Rolled Oats 8 Pound— One-fourth
to one-third aubatltutes In bread one
half substitute In muffins breakfast
porridge use freely oatmeal cookies
oatmeal soup
Buckwheat Hour 8 Peunda— One
fourth aubstltute In bread buckwheat
cakes
Hominy 2 Pound— Boiled for din-
ner baked for dinner with chests

Rice 4 Pounds— One-fourth substi-
tute In wheat bread onethlrd substl
tute In corn bread boiled for dinner (

: IN EGYPT DISTRICT
From Monday’s Dally
M R Chllcutt and Orel Busby at-
tended a meeting of the district Coun-
cil of Defense at Egypt last night
Both of these gentlemen addressed
the gathering after which a most
successful box supper was staged on
a unique plan The boxes were pre-
pared by the ladies of that commun-
ity and auctioned at the meeting
One-half of the proceeds of each box
was returned to the lady who prepar-
ed it in the form of thrift stamps
the other half was also converted in-
to stamps and handed back to the
purchaser of the box thus making it
necessary for each party in order to
protect his holdings to go ahead and
buy enough stamps to fill out his
card In this way $117 waB invested in
the government which will be great-
ly increased as each party fills his
card Also two cakes were sold for
810 which was -turned over to the

LOVER’S FRATERNITY IIN
WON’T KEEP HIM OUT
Kansas City Mo April 18 — The
wearing of a fraternity pin Is not suf-
ficient proof of an engagement to
marry according to a recent decision
of the district draft board here The
claim of a former University of Mis-
souri student married after the en-
actment of the draft law set forth
as evidence that he was engaged to
marry before the passage of the act
because of the fact that the girl wore
his fraternity pin “ in a concealed
place” An affidavit from the bride’s
sorority sisters corroborated this
statement
The board ruled that the giving
of a fraternity pin In lieu of an-
nouncing the engagement did not
constitute a contract to marry

Liverpool March 20-— (Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press) —
Liverpool the second largest city In
England Is leading the whole coun-
try In solving the food shortage prob-
lem It has municipal kitchens
which are models and work more ef-
ficiently than those in any other part
of the kingdom It sets every other
city In the country an example by
maintaining a municipal potato peel-
ing plant and cooking the potatoes
for the bakers to mix with their flour
Its latest enterprise is supplying
householders with boiling water for
cooking and washing purposes and
thereby causing a great saving in
fuel
Liverpool’s city fathers are very
proud of their efforts to make their
people the most comfortable in the
country in these days of enforced
economy With a display of pride
they gladly show visitors these new
ways of meeting the food shortage
They take them along the streets
where butcher's shops are shut for
want of meat A sign on the meat
market reads "Why buy meat from
the butcher when you can get it ready
cooked at the food depot?” The ar-
gument is unanswerable particularly
when there is no meat to buy at the
butcher’s
There are always municipal cook-
shops where a family of four might
buy and take away a satisfying din-
ner for 25 cents Stewed steaks po-
tatoes and puddings are the principal
articles
An enterprising city engineer has
set up an engine which runs a mach-
ine that peels tons of potatoes in a
few minutes and also supplies steam
to great cauldrons In which the po-
tatoes are cooked This enterprise
supplies a clean and wholesome flour
to the bakers which is mixed with
wheat flour and helps to produce a
delicious bread
At the food depots a person can
buy for a cent a great bucket of boil-
ing water and the population is be-
ing encouraged to come for this boil-
ing water in order to save coal In-
stead of buying coal to boil a kettle
for cocoa or tea people can get as
much water as they want for a cent
Those responsible for Liverpool’s
enterprise declare that results have
hlready shown that a workman’s fam-
ily can live much better and more
economically by buying Its meals at
the food depots than by doing its own
cooking
