Adulterated Bread,

Many late analyses OF bakers bread
show that the normal amount OF fat In
bread. from One-half to three.Quarters
OF per cent. Is quite generally raised
to from 3 to per cent. This Is accom-
plished by the Introduction OF lard or
other cheap foreign fat, and the result
Is a very white, nice-looking bread.
capable of absorbing and carrying much
more water than 1t otherwise would.
Largely through the free use of lard
about 265 one-pOund lOavcs of bread are
made from barrel OF -four, which at
five cents loaf realizes 1925 for the
hour. The moral OF this Is that moro
homemade and less bakers bread
should be eaten, especially In the homes
OF those with small incomes.

THE POLL TAX PROBLEM.
Comptroller General Norton
Makes Some Further State
mentS.

There Is still division of O pin
Ion among the lawyers of the city
as to the power of magistrates in
instituting criminal action for non
payment of poll taxes.
The comptroller general yester-
day said that magistrates had no
Jurisdiction in such matters. He
holds that the magistrates in at
tempting to collect delinquent
poll taxes are only acting as de-
puties of sheriffs, who are charg-
ed with the collection of delinou-
ent taxes, and that they enjoy as
much power in this matter as is
legally vested in the sheriffs for
whom they act.
Executions, said the comptroller
general, could be issued against
either the real or personal prop
erty of those who failed or refus-
ed to pay their poll taxes and
enough of such property can be
sold to liquidate their Indebtedness
Neither homesteads exemption nor
any debt could protect property
from executions levied to secure
the collection of delinquent taxes.
