the remedy of which lies quite within the power a
newspaper readers viz: The sac of tie loot.
During the last Autumn and Winter the prise Of ths
best -four from sl2 to si3 barrel, and. on the
suppos ton that the bakers made use of that kind q
four there seemed TO be good reason for reducing
the sxpenny loaf to the size of an odtashcned brcaA-
fast roll But a matter Of fact, the bakers geocr-
ally do not use the best Hour and for two reasons 10
the first place they cannot IL for the total snsouns
of barrels of the really best and highest priced hour
quite limited and large portion OF it goes into ne
hands Of the family grocers ~ that maj qusny eous
not be bad at any price in quantities sufficient fos ns
bakers use. In the second place tho fart that they
do no, use that quality OF aour, may be ascertaine1

will that the bakers will learn the iace
which they will not learn by other process OF teach
ing that they can perfectly well afford 10 increasc ~
