NEW RULINGS ON CONSERVATION OF WHEAT FLOUR .Administrator Outlines Plan Which Dealers and Con sumers Must Follow A new series of rules for wheat conservation, superseding all pre vious regulaUons and effective ht once, have just been made public by the Food Administrator. They are as follows: I—Patriotic conservation of wheat now requires that we limit our fam ily consumption to one-third that used in normal times and in no case to exceed a total wheat diet of six pounds per month per person, in cluding fiour, macaroni and wheat products of every kind, nature and in every form whatever, including flour used for thickening gravies, binder in quick bread and other culi nary purposes; this to continue until the next wheat harvest, or further notice. 2—To permit wheat conservation in this degree, it is necessary to em ploy in the family diet, an equal quantity of the official cereal sub stitutes or with every pound of wheat product used in any form a i pound of cornmeal, corn flour, ' buckwheat flour, barley flour, oat meal, oat flour, rice or rice flour, feterita flours and meals, potato fiour, rolled oats, cornstarch, hom iny, soya bean flour, corn grits, swet potato flour, tapioca flour. These cereals should be mixed with wheat flour in home break-making as nearly as possible in the propor tion of one pound of cereal substi tute to two pounds of wheat flour, and in no case should more wheat be used than In the proportion of I A Wise Man § j§ Selects the Ma- 11 | terial As Well f| H As the Style For || His Clothes § i | S3 We are offering a rare Kg chance for the selec tion' of splendid all wool material which (2s is not to be treated §h| gg lightly in these times of wool shortage.

The balance of cereal subsUtutes should be used without wheat flour in the preparation of corn bread and muf fins, buckwheat cakes, breakfast cereals, etc. 3—ln the application of these reg ulations to families dependent upon bakers' bread and doing no home baking, it should bo understood that the baker 3 "Victory" loaf contains only twenty-flve per cent, of cereal substitutes. Patriotic observance of the conservation rules requires a | limit in the use of "Victory" bread to 1% pounds per person per week. Where this amount of bread is used, only one-half pound of flour per week per person may be used f<¥ all additional purposes of cooking and pastry, as macaroni, crackers, cakes, wheat breakfast cereal and every other form combined. Family Rules 4—The foregoing rules apply to family practice only and do not af fect in any way the regulations for wheat consumption in public .eating places, clubs, etc. s—Publis eating places, clubs, etc., will continue to observe two wheat less days per week as heretofore, Mondays and Wednesdays, on which no wheat product will be served in any form whatever, except in "Vic tory" breads or other "Victory" prod uts. No public eating place, club or similar establishment will serve m6re than two ounces per service of breadstuffs of any kind, including bread, rolls, pastry, cake, crackers, macaroni and any and every form of food containing wheat. No public | eating place, club or similar estab lishment will place on tables or offer foods containing wheat in any form unless especially ordered. No pub lic eating place, club, or similar es tablishment may buy wheat flour, wheat products or wheat food in any form, in total combination figuring on the basis of three meals served per day per person. 6—Retail grocers and other re tail dealers in flour, including flour millers who retail, shall not sell or deliver wheat flour to individual consumers, residing in towns or cities, in quantities in excess of j twenty-four and one-half pounds, ! nor to any individual consumer in rural or l'arm communities in quan tities in excess of forty-nine pounds. In no case shall he knowingly sell or deliver to any individual con sumer an amount of flour which will make the purchaser's total supply greater than is reasonably required for his household or establishment during the next thirty days, on the basis of six pounds per month per person. This rule is not Intended to authorize at any time sales in an amount in excess of that above pre scribed. Must Buy Substitutes 7 —The dealer (including the mil ler) shall not sell or deliver wheat flour to any individual consumer thereof, unless the buyer purchases at the same time one pound of wheat flour substitutes for every pound of wheat flour purchased, or in case of whole wheat or graham flour con taining at least ninety-five per cent, of the entire wheat, six-tenths of a pound of wheat flour substitutes for every pound of such whole wheat or graham flour purchased. B—Bakers may not purchase wheat flour in excess of seventy per cent, of the average consumption during four months preceding March 1, 1918. 9 Manufacturers using edible wheat flour or other wheat products for nonfood purposes will cease such use entirely. To furnish our allies with the amount of wheat required to main tain their war bread from now until the next harvest, is a military neces sity which can only be met by a rigid observance by all American people of the foregoing rules as an irre ducible minimum of wheat consump tion. Those among our population who are well-to-do, and those en gaged in the lighter occupations, as well as those in agricultural dis tricts, where cereals other than \ wheat are abundant and where housewives are more skilled in their preparation, can make greater sacri fices in the consumption of wheat products than are here provided for. ACIDS 111 STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Gas, Sourness and Pain How To Treat. Medical authorities state that near ly nine-tenths of the cases of stom ach trouble. indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, Woating, nausea, etc., aire due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some I bolieve to a lack of digestive juices, j The delicate stomach lining is irritat ed. digestion is delayed and food sours, causing the disagreeable symp- I toms which every stomach sufferer j knows so well. | Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and Instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is !no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated I Magnesia (in powder or tablet form— i never liquid or milk) Is harmless to the stomach. Inexpensive to take nnd is the most efficient form of mag nesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of in digestion. G. A. Gorgas.—Advertise ment.
