CAN’T SELL RYE FLOUR AS A WHEAT SUBSTITUTE

County Food Administrator John Eger has. received instructions from state food administrator Barnard that rye flour is not to be considered a substitue for wheat flour. This commodity, he stated, is being shipped abroad for use of the soldiers. The victory war bread now beiiig served by bakeries can be served every day in restaurants and hotels. This bread he stated can be used on wheatless. days, as it is at other times and practically abolishes wheatless 'days. For pastry, in making pies and cakes for restaurants, a mixture of not more than two-thirds wheat flour may be prepared for daily use, while grocers are ordered to cease selling rye flour as a substitute for wheat flour.
