RULINGS OF FEDERAL
FOOD ADMINISTRATION
Retail dealers must buy sub
stitutes with every lot of wheat
flour. They must buy sub
stitutes at the same time as
flour or present written state
ments showing purchases else
where of requisite substitutes
not balanced by other pur
chases of wheat flour. If the
wholesaler has sold both flour
and substitutes, and has not
substitutes an hand, let him re
frain from shipping the flour
until he receives substitutes.
By so doing, we will keep
down wheat flour sales, which
is what we want to do.

MERCHANTS ATTENTION
The Food Administration
after investigation of cost of
manufacturing blackstrap mo
lasses has determined that any
sale of imported blackstrap
molasses or blackstrap molas
ses produced in the United
States from sugar cane impor
ted into the United States, at
a price of more than eighteen
cents a gallon, will return the
holder unjust and unreason
able profit. Every such sale
will be scrutinized carefully
with view to revocation of li
cense of offending seller. Black
strap molasses is a biproduct
of manufacture of sugar and
is used in manufacturing of
over one million seven hun
dred thousand tons of feeding
stuffs annually in the United
States. This announcement
will prevent profiteering in
this essential commodity and
will insure a supply of the food
ingredients at a reasonable
price.
