WHEAT PRICE LOW AS MARKET OPENS UNDER PRESSURE

CHICAGO, May 15. Sharply lower

prloea prevailed In the wheat market

early today, as a consequence of the summary prohibition of new buying exeunt to cloia ud outstanding deala.

Purchasers under such restrictions

were so scarce that values broke &c on the sale of three lota of 6,000 bushels, the smallest amounts in which trades are possible. It was on these three trades that the market reached - the lowest point of an lie overnight decline to 12.48 for the July delivery.

Prospects . that the existing halt in

option trading mignt oe conuniva indefinitely, formed the main depressing 4nfiuncA. Onenlnar nrlces. which

ranged from 2 to 6c lower with July

at $2.63 to $2.55 and Sept. at sz.Z3 to $2.26. were followed by additional aet backs of 2 to 6c and then a moderate rally.

Offlfeiredl flDiie LargeiP ILaaifi (This is advertisement No. 1 in a series of six on the question of greater economy in the use of bread.)

President Wilson said: "The Nation looks to the manufacturer to speed and perfect every process." H. E. Barnard, State Food and Drug Commissioner, ordered that grocers must sell day old bread instead of returning it, thus eliminating a great cause of bread waste.

' But there is one other step to take, and that is i the elimination of the wasteful five-cent loaf, and , its replacement by the larger ten and fifteen cent loaves- :

The bakers would be poor public servants if they did not bring this to public attention. Except for the additional flour and other ingredients, the ten and fifteen-cent loaves cost no more to make and deliver to your table than the five-cent loaf. The ten and fifteen cent loaves, because of greater bulk and moisture retaining qualities, are of better flavor, keep longer and cut to less waste than two or three five-cent loaves.

The day is upon us when little wastes are big crimes. You can help make the country's food' supply go farther by buying the ten or fifteen cent loaf;

Food Situation is Serious p-The importance of greater economy in the consumption of bread cannot be overestimated. The food situation, while not one to get panicky about, cannot get better while the war lasts. It may get much worse.
