Show , BUYING oft-.IO. I There is still some misunderstand-, misunderstand-, ing in regard to the 5 0-5 0 order. The 50-50 rule was not made to sell other . cereals, but to save wheat. It means , "buy less wheat flour," not buy as much as before and take the substitutes substitu-tes besides. Complaints that one is paying twice too much for flour because be-cause the cost of the other cereals is jouuied in, are quite out of place. Neither are these substitutes to be hoarded or destroyed. It is surprising surpris-ing how many intelligent people have failed to grasp the real situation and. see how serious the shortage of wheat has become, and how necessary it is to conserve it in every way. Everyone who understands the situation should do her best to make it clear to any neighbor or friend who is without this knowledge. The Journal of Home Economics. |
