A CRY FOR CHEAPER BREAD.
The Crusade Started in Several East
ern Cities.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S.-In view OF
the crusade for cheaper bread inaugurated
in number Of cities. including Washing
ton where the price has been reduced
from to 4 cents per loaf as a result Of
the crusade, the agricultural department
has given out a bulletin on "the cost Of
bread" taken from the forthcoming re-
port of Prof. W. o. Atwater on the
nutrltive value Of foods. II says:
In practice 100 pounds Of flour VIII
make from 133 TO 137 pounds Of bread, an
average being about one hundred and
thirty-six pounds. Flour. such as IS used
by bakers. is now purchased in the east
crn states at not over s. per barrel This
would make the cost Of the flour in
pound Of bread about 11a cents. Allow
ing One-half cent for the shortening and
salt which is certainly very liberal. the
materials for a pound of bread would
cost not more han , cents. OF course
there should be added TO this the cost Of
.ab0r, rent. interest on investments, eX-
peIsSe Of selling, etc, TO make the actual
cost 10 the baker. Very few accurate
Weighings and analysis Of bakers bread
have been made in this country. 50 far
as ] am aware. but the above statements
represent the facts as nearly as l have
been able to obtain them.
The average weight OF number or
specimens Of jen-Cent leaves purchased In
Midd.etown. Conn. was one and one

the consumers cents per pound. The
price Of bread and the size of the loaf
are practically the same now as when
flour cost twice as much.
The COST of bakers bread is a compare

COttOnseed meal is not only an ex-
