SUE WAit HID flDILUEDDHMS ^Fifty-Fifty" Rule is Superceded by New Fcod Administration Reguia* tions Which Permit of Larger Use 'H)f Wheat?Victory Mixed Flours ^Hay oo rurcnaseo wimoui Buying -^Substitutes. "Columbia.?The 20,000,000 people lighting Germany will eat the same ^rar bread. That is to say that the '^var bread of the allied nations will hereafter be mixed in the same proportions of wheat flour and substiTtutes. The "fifty-fifty" rule, which has been in operation in America, under ^hich ft war "^quired that wheat 3&our be sold only in equal proportion ''with substitutes, has been superseded new regulations just announced by "the Food Administration and which 'became effective on September 1. Instead of "fifty-fifty," the proportion is """eighty-twenty." Under this international bread policy, formulated by the inter-allied food 'trouncil held recently in London, tho 'people of the allied countries are per"mitted to eat bread containing more * wheat flour than they have had at any 'time since the beginning of the war, -and all rationing of bread among the allied peoples will be discontinued at a time when the wheat situation in ^Sermany and Austria is anything but "promising. At the same time the wheat resources of the allied countries will t>e conserved so as to maintain the necessary reserves against disaster; and "for that reason it Decomes necessary r the Food Administration to promulgate the new 'eighty-twenty" rule. Tfce new regulations provide for the manufacturing and marketing of a 'mixed flour, to be known as Victory -Mixed Flour, under certain standards ^fcet by the Food Administration. Victory Mixed Flour may be purchased "Tor household use without buying sub'^titrates. wiere straight wheat flour is purchased, however, twenty per cent o! ?fliTiro r>T aiihatftlltAfi must VUJnSI VCl UO>& UVUl 0 v* ?? 1* purchased.

SAVE SEED Administration Advises Gars deners to Save Seed for Next gear's Planting. . Columbia.?Save seed for the production of next year's food crop. This is important, and is urged by r"Jthe Food Administration. While the production of seed will "Jhe about normal this year, large orvders for vegetable seeds have b^en Iplacjea by foreign concerns for export European countries, which formerhave been exporters of vegetable ' seeds to the United States. As a "Result of this, the supply will not be ' great enough to meet the demand. ^Prices will be high, and the high 3E?rtee and shortage of supply will '^bring many inferior seed on the ma *Tv"-a- rtwoPAftmo this difficulty it is HT:i* IV w? ? ~reiy necessary that every gardener his part and save seed for next : Tear's planting.

With tha American Armv nn this i Vesle Front?Sixty Prussians have i been taken prisoner by the Americans near Fisroette, north of Fismes, with- se ! out either side firing a shot. The Prus- lo ! sians were machine gunners, and all g( that remained of a company which had ar I been in line less than a month. American detachments went out a 2 few nights ago, the location of the ma- or j chine gun positions having been re- or | ported by a prisoner. According to the so I Airfericans, the Prussians were wait- fic Ing to be taken prisoner. The intelli- tu gence officer who questioned the Prussians asserted that they nearly all had qi agreed to surrender if the slightest opportunity arose. 1? The Americans who took the prls- of I oners do not claim any credit for the ta capture, declaring that the Prussians virtually deserted their posts. vc TIME TABLES ARE POPULAR ^ New Ones Showing Uncle Sam as Boss w in Demand by Railroad m Employees. v fo ? 1 * ??
