more than 18 years he was chief of

sylvania on a foraging expedition for

You can verify Lexington endorse
ment. Read this:
R. F. Powell, Main St., Lexington
says: "I had a lot of trouble about
eleven years ago with my back and
kidneys. My back ached all the time
and I couldn't stoop over without
being in terrible misery. I had a too
frequent desire to pass the kidney
secretions and this bothered me a
great deal. I took different medicines
but they didn't do me a mite
of good. I tried in every way to
get relief. Finally I got Doan's Kidney
Pills and they helped me from
the start. Several boxes completely
cured me of all that trouble. I
haven't been bothered since."

Explain New Wheat Ruling tc
Thousands of Customers?Insures
Greater Food Saving.
Grocers of the nation hare accepted
enthusiastically the 50-50 basis for the
purchase of wheat ffosr aid are doing
their utmost to explain tike new regulation
to the housewife. This ruling bj
the 9. S. Feed Administration requires
each purchaser of wheat flour to buj
on? pound' of cereal substitute, ob
kind or asserted, for every pound oJ
wheat floor, ft was necessary to re
strict the use ?{ wheat flour In ordei
that the allies and our fighting forces
abroad might be assured of an ade
quate supply of wheat to meet theii
vital needs. This supply must com*
from our savings because we have al
ready sent our normal surplus.
Wheat saving pledge cards were for
warded by the Food Administration tc
all retail food merchants, and these
are being signed and posted in stora*
throughout the country. This carc
states, "We pledge ourselves loyally tc
carry out the Food Administration pro
gram. In accordance with this ordei
we wiH not sell any wheat flour except
where the purchaser buys an equa
weight of one or more of the following
a greater lvse of which in the home
w::: save wneax:
"Cornnueal, corn flour, edible con
starch- hem;<;y, eorn grits, barley flour
potato flour, sweet potato flour, soj
bean flour, feterita flour and meals
rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats ant
buckwheat flour."
Some confusioa has resulted on th<
part of the consumer in construing
this "50-50" ruling to mean that ar
eqisal amount 1m value of substitute;
must fee purchased with wheat flour
This is a Mistaken Idea. The ruling
states that the consumer in purchasing
flew shall "hay at the same time ai
effnal weight of other cereals."
One exeeptie* to this ruling is con
cerning graham flour and whole vrhea
flow, wfeieh mr be sold at the rath
ef three pounds to Ave pounds o
wheat flow. This provision is madi
because approximately 25 per cent
i>ore of the wheat berry Is used In thi
mantrfactare of these fioars than stand
ard wheat floor.
Apwther esooption Is that concern
tnp: mwced frours containing less thai
5f per pent, rf wheat flour, which ma:
he s?!?l wjtfeovu substitutes. Retailers
however, ?re forbidden to sell raixe<
floury ooartyinim: more thah 50 . pe:

tess the aaKrant of wheat fiour substl
