sets of bakers and two sets Of drivers have
to be employed. As the unions allow men
to work only so many hours extra horses

In fact, the expense of putting the same

How the Law Was Changed.
To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
You published an article in The Star
twenty years ago this month on the subject
Of The Weight OF Bread" Flour was at
that time. according to the article $50 for
the superne brand. and the law then re-
quired single loaf to weigh even sixteen
ounces. \ number of bakers made a single
loaf of bread more than sixteen ounces
Among these bakers was Thomas Haven
Eer. whose bread was conflscated, and he
also paid fine for making the bread
heavier than the law specified, the same as
a baker recently was fined for making his
bread short of weight. The article had the
desired effect. as the corpora ton changed

sixteen ounces and the maximum eighteen
OurCes. This Is the law at the present
time lsae Webbs Digest, page 81. Were
they ignorant of another portion of the law

to stamp the price "a on inferior loaf
of bread, when it Is unlawful for any one
to offer for sale bread unless the same
shall be composed of the best quality of

pears the bakers are not aware), they Vio-
late also the law by not stamping in figures
the weight of bread upon the loaf, nor have
the bakers thought proper To give the max
imum weight of eighteen ounces. This
should nave been the action at their last
meeting, which would have obviated part
of the complaints. 1t Is not SO much butter.

our bread. 1t is the new process in man
ufaCturing flour and what chemistry has
done in the baking business of the present
day. in contrast with methods in use in
