Victory Loaves To Be Baked From Now On.

Bakers will begin today the manufacture of the new Victory Loaf, a war bread containing five per cent substitute for wheat flour, prescribed by the food administration as a part of its 1918 food conservation program. At the same time groceries will sell to householders wheat flour only when the purchaser buys an equal amount of some other cereal. The percentage of substitute flours used by baking establishments will be increased gradually until a 20 per cent substitution is reached on February 24. As substitute the bakers may use either some other cereal or flours made from potatoes or beans. Hotels, restaurants and other public eating places will be required to observe the regulations laid down for baking establishments.
