WHEATLESS DAYS ENDED Food Administration Revises Rules on Use of Wheat Flour and §ube On September 1 new flour regula­ tions went into effect. Only one pound of substitutes will have to be purchased with every four pounds of wheat flour. Housewives will now be able to pur­ chase Victory mixed flour, which con­ tains the regulation amount of sub­ stitutes for baking. This flour will be put on the market and sold at a price not higher than that of straight wheat flour. The rule limiting flour purchases to one-eighth in cities and one-fourth barrel in the country is abolished. Rye flour, which has not been a substitute, may hereafter be bought 't* . *, y i*./ '.-v- Tnr %t#r *\v * jvnhi rn, n » \ v v; nx» ~vrW: ^ with wheat flour in the proportion of three pounds of wheat flour to two of rye, which is the usual mixture in making rye bread. The substitutes most favored by the food administration are corn and 'bar­ ley, not only because they are the best substitute, but because the sup­ ply of these two is larger than that of other cereals. All grocers are re­ quired to have either corn meal, corn flour or barley flour on hand at all times to sell with wheat flour. Other substitute flours, which are kaflir, rice, bean, faterita, milo, oat, potato, buckwheat, peanut and sweet potato, may be sold at the option fef the purchaser. Mixed flours, known as Victory mixed flours, containing the required amount of corn or barley or both, will be encouraged.

Bakeries must follow the mixing order regula­ tions, however, except that in crackers only ten per cent of substitutes other than rye are required. Reginald Lenfestey, head of the flour division of the Illinois food ad­ ministration, has issued posters set­ ting forth the new xubstitute rules, which every grocer will bo requested to post in his store. It is the aim of the food adminis­ tration to regulate the use of wheat flour in this country so that it will correspond with that of the allies. The recent survey of the food re­ sources 01 the 220,000,000 people of the United States, England, France and Italy, who are fighting against Germany, shows that to maintain- enough supplies and the nefcessary re­ serve against disaster, there must be maintained in,all,,these countries a conservation of wheat flour during the coming year. , _ ' It huS been agreed that the wheat bread of air countries shall contain 20 per cent of other grains and it is only just that we should bear our share in this saving and that our bread should be at lea t identical with' that being consumed by those who are suffering more greatly from the war than our-, selves. WINS HEARTY SUPPORT A» Republican Candidate for Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction Hon. Hugh S. Magill, Jr., Republi­ can candidate * for superintendent of public instruction, is actively sup­ ported by newspapers .and public of­ ficials thriiout the state as well as by leading educators. His friends are confident of his nomination. The Springfield . News-Record en­ thusiastically endorsed Mr. Magill and says: "He has written some of the best school laws on the statute book and is recognized authority on school operation and management. He is jus't the man to take charge of the schools of the state in the critical reconstruction period that will follow the war." The Mattoon Journal-Gazette, the largest Republican daily in Coles county, compares the merits of the two candidates and then says: "Mr. Magill would prove to be a much more effective and practical man than Mr. Blair, who seems to be more of a theorist than a practiealist." The Amboy News says the an­ nouncement that Senator. Magill had decided to be a candidate was hailed with satisfaction by Republicans in tlie northern part of the state, "where his ability to do big things.is recog­ nized by everybody." Similar expressions ajre published in a score of papers. One editor says: "Mr. Magill has a keen vision of the wider mission that must devolve up­ on the public schools in the after-the- war period, and if chosen will enter, zealously and efficiently into the edu majority of the city superintendents earnestly desire tile nomination of cational reconstruction that shall be required." Expressions from educators are even more enthusiastic. Charles Mc­ intosh, superintendent of Piatt coun­ ty and treasurer of the State Teach­ ers' association, declares that "from a thorough investigation I am con­ vinced that a majority of the coun­ ty superintendents and a very large % Mr. Magill." * He says thfet educators generally concede that Mr. Magill has done more in a real helpful construc­ tive way for the schools of Illinois than any other one educator. Mr. Magill has declared himself in favor of a definite plan for teaching the. duties of citizenship, for a more practical system in order to fit boys and girls for the work of life and for organized co-operation between edu­ cators and men of all wallas of life in working out a satisfactory readjust­ ment of . ou"r pbblic school sys­ tem. --Advertisement.

VOTF FOR- fxjArthur K. Steams Give me Three Votes andlii# elect me where T belong : -THANKS v| '4 "1 To The Republican Voters Eighth Senatorial District I hereby announce myself as a Republican candidate for the Lower House of the General Assembly. Another term will complete twenty years of continual service for this district, and I have looked to that attainment with some, I trust, pardonable, personal pride. However, more important is the fact that I have wished to aid Gov­ ernor Lowden in his eftdeavor to make Illinois a more fit place to live in after the boys come home from the war. In connection with my record the Legislative Voters' league said recently: "Edward D. Shurtleff, representative (Rep.), was Gover­ nor Lowden's floor leader in the house. Had it not been for his ef"- fort it is unlikely that the Governor's administrative code bill could have been passed. He refused appointment as head of a House Com­ mittee and gave most of his time to furthering the passage of admin­ istration measures." Governor Lowden said at Woodstock, September 6, 1917: "I want to say a word about one of your citizens. I want to take ad­ vantage of his absence today. I refer to Edward D. Shurtleff. I want you people of his home county to realize that, during the present ad­ ministration, Mr. Shurtleff was my right arm; all during the planning of the administration code he was with me and worked zealously and efficiently. I don't know what I would have done, without him; I am confident that results would not have been what they were. And, whether we have peace or war, I shall need him more than ever in the future. Therefore I want to say to you people here that you must not permit him not to bp a candidate for re-election as I-have heard might be the case." I have had numerous conferences with Governor. Lowden silice that time as to the program he is trying to work out m "correcting, revising and advancing the Administrative Code," in "Revenue ters," in "Court Practice matters,"--in a "New Election Law, in an effort to get a "NEW STATE CONSTITUTION," and to make Illinois a better place to live in for all its people. I feel that the electorate of this district know where I stai public matters, and the services I have performed, so that I nee* restate them. I expect to vote for the National Amendment. A campaign is being made against me; pretending to be friendly, conceding my nomination and election, and insisting that I shall have many votes to spare; If this advice should be carried to its logical conclusion I would have no votes at all. The purpose of my oppon­ ents is to persuade the voters thai they are friendly to me, that I can be nominated and elected without votes, an4 that "an issue" calls for another man. I earnestly solicit the vote of every Republican in the district who believes I should be returned,--and even at that it is son probable I will have none to spare. Thanking you sincerely for your support and confidence past, I am. Very Respectfully, ' < EDWARD D. SHURTLEFF, Marengo, 111 c v§ • ¥ ? « . y •£ . • r r
