BETTER BREAD
FOR THE ARMY
(Scripps News Association

WASHINGTON, Oct. THE war
department has reached an import
ant decision which will, to some ex-
tent, revolutioniZe the culinary de-
partment of the. service. 1t has
been decided to introduce machin-
cry for making bread instead of
having the bread made by the slow
anad unsatisfactory hand method.
The navy has found it advantage
Gus to have such a system, and
vessels are being equipped as rap
idly as possible with a type of
bread-making machine which is
said to answer all demands upon it.
This conclusion in favor of mechan-
ical bread making has been reach
ed after practical test of the
methods on board the United States
ship Missouri for a period of six
months. Army officers have been
making an investigation of systems
at Fort Riley, where there iare
schools for cooks and bakers. and
at West Point, where the facilities
exist for carrying on competitive
tests of the machinery. A certain
type of machine has been recon-
mended by the commissary officers
who have given special attention
to the subject, and it is believed
that the adoption of this machine
throughout the army, together with
the sending out of army cooks and
bakers, will have a favorable effect
upon the enlisted men by furnish
ing them with food properly pre-
pared. 1t has been found that the
army fares somewhat better than
the navy in the matter of food, and
this is largely attributed to the way
the food is issued and prepared.
There have been many complaints
concerning the quality of the bread
and these have finally induced the
war department to make a change
in the system.
