New Wheat Saving Program Demand; ed *? Allied Food Shortage Increases?America Must Feed Fighters. i ! i % ! Explaining the United States Food I Administration's new 50-50 wheat reg| illations is a war time task the Amerij can grocer has gladly shouldered, j Many stores are already displaying I their Food A<!ministraiion wheal s..?! ing pledge cards, ilia; they have signed, agreeing to carry out the new ! wheat program. ' Each Hour customer is now* requiri ed to buy one pound of ?vival Sii'.'s itute for every pound of wheat tlour. The substitute may he of one kind or assorted. This .~0-.~0 <a!e is made hv i weight and not by value of tiie com; modi ties. There is. of course, no regulation demanding the consumer to j buy wheat flour at all. j A wide variety of substitutes has ; been provided: Corn meal, corn f.our, . /"iiuin liiiininv corn frits. J 1/1*7 ICIIUVU, <? , . barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato i flour, soya bean flour, Feterita flour [ and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, I rolled oats and buckwheat flour. i Graham and whole wheat flour con! stitute an exception to the national I regulation. Either of these commodities may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat 11 air? i that is, five pounds of graham or ! wheat flour counts the same as three pounds of the usual wheat flour. Mixed flours form another excepi tion. Where any flour contains ."0 j per cent, or less of wheat it may he i sold without any substitutes. Where i the flour is mixed at the rate of CO ; per cent, wheat and 40 per cent, of ! other ingredients an additional 20 per ! cent, of substitutes must be purchased j by the consumer. Where necessity is shown specially | prepared infant's and invalid's food j containing flour may be sold. i That the approved substitutes may ; be assorted is a fact many grocers j and housewives overlooked for a time, i For instance, if a customer wishes to j buy a 24 pound sack of flour the necessary substitutes might be assorted as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buck ! wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, 1 pound; ! hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3 I pounds. j ! None of the substitutes should be i considered as a waste purchase. ; There are many household uses for | each. The eight pounds of cornmeal i can be made into cornbread, corn mufi fins or used in the baking of whtat I bread. I ! Cornstafch Is useful in making cus! tard, thickening gravy or may be used m case oaKing. uorn grirs rriea liKe 1 raush forms a delicious dish, or it may be used in baking corn bread. Rolled oats are used largely as breakfast porridge or in oatmeal cookies or in making muffins. ! Buckwheat flour may be used in bread making, forming an excellent substitute for one-quarter of the j wheat flour, but is especially choice in i the form of buckwheat cakes for ' breakfast. Wi'b It wheatless meals needed j oui'fc w< c!: in America to provide 1 ] enough wheat for the allies, the Food j ! Administration believes the substitutes will all be used to advantage. USE LESS WHEAT. The allied nations have made ! furl her increased demands on us for breadstuff's ? demands that Americans are obligated to meet. In the meantime America's meat supply has been greatly increased for some months to come by the unprecedented i shipping to market of hogs that averaged 232 pounds each inj stead of 203 pounds?the normal. The United States Food Administration, endeavoring to adj just the international food balance, promptly removed certain restrictions in this country on the use of meat and at the same j rime asked for a smaller conI sumption of breadstufTs. We are asked to observe only one meatless day each week? Tuesday. We will have larger meat stocks for awhile. But our bread ration must be held to a minimum. j In altering' its food conserva- j lion program the Food Administration emphasizes that the food situation is of Necessity, subject to radical changes, caused by crop conditions at j i home and abroad and by the ! ! precarious transportation prob1 U ..*1. -rii- ^ c?M'?\nin or j I It'll!, IMIlll ill o.- oni| ar.'i in America's overburdened transportation system. 71,-j Food Adr::!:." ration will j keep tho American people fully :md frnnklv of each ' lur.it'1 in iho developing situation t.tt they may know defi- j id^e';: the part their food sac- j | rifi< es play in the worid war.

It is absolutely neees- i sary to do this if the war is to be won, t and we are p?in? t<> do it, but it means \ nlnnnimr. working, arranjiinc. co-oper- t nting, being careful, not wasting, .saving. And it means that oach and every one of us lias got to help. j Now, we have enough and more than enough food for ourselves, and the Government is going to see to it that we keep here at home a sufficient sup-; ply of every essential kind of food to support our people. But over there they simply have not enough. Lord Rhondda, the English foo?l controller, y ii.. ?M-4 xu_ A :?^ , recently tdUICU Uic nmci ii<ai. ivwru auministrator, that unless we can send the allies before the next uropean harvest 75,000,000 bushels of wheat in addition to what had been sent up to January 1 of this year he could not assure the people of the allies that they would have a sufficient supply of; food to carry on the war. ! He did not say anything in this cable about the other food necessary, but: he has told of these needs in otfter j cables?and by his actions in England.j For example, his latest regulation compels a reduction of meat eating in the United Kingdom to a maximum of one pound per week per person, this pound including the bone apd other I waste parts in the meat as bought in, (.A1V KJIivy. , The allies must have more wheat, more meat, more fats, more dairy products, more sugar. Their harvests were very short?France had less than half 4 her normal crop of wheat?and the available shipping is small in amount and constantly being lessened by sub- ,? marines, so that it is now practically 1 impossible to use any ships for the long voyage necessary to bring food from j Australia ami other remcte markets. ' The food roust come chiefly from i America. In specific figures it is nec- j essary for us to send to the allies i 1,100,000 tons of foodstuffs a month, j This is a great responsibility and a ! great problem. The food must be ! found, and also the ships to carry it. It is being done, but can only continue ! to be done by the help and full co- i operation of all of us over our broad j land. We must produce and save | ; more. ; To supply the wheat necessary until the next harvest, we must reduce our consumption by from one-fourth to one-';hird; we must cut down our usual average consumption of meats and ; fats by from 10 to 15 per cent, and dairy products by about 10 per cent. Over there they are tightening their belts and doing everything they can. They are eating war bread; they are cutting down their sugar in England to two pounds per person per month, and in France and Italy to one pound? how much are you eating??and they are using ration cards for most of the staples.
