Standardization of Loaf Is Expected to
Follow Successful Contest for
Clean Food.
PROPER WEIGHT TO COME

Announcement by three Washington
bakers that, beginning June 3. they will
deliver wrapped bread, marks the sue
cessful issue of the campaign which The
Washington Herald has waged to obtain
for the people of the District bread pro-
tected from dirt and disease from the
time it leaves the ovens until it is de-
livered to the ultimate consumer.
The closely aligned campaign of The
Washington Herald for standardization
of the weight of loaves will soon come
to successful issue. too. Then the peo-
pie of the Capital will be assured that
every loaf they buy is clean and as much
as II is pretended to be.
The determination of the bakers to
wrap bread at their bakeries comes as
the result of insistent appeals on the part
of The Washington Herald and residents
of the Capital. who became interested in
the campaign. .
While the need of wrapping bread to
protect il from disease bearing dirt ap
pealed to many people of the District as
soon as it was pointed out, there was at
first a large part Of the population that
remained Indifferent.
This indifference retarded the progress
of the campaign somewhat. One promi-
nent baker installed bread-wrapping ma
chinery and put protected bread upon the
market but soon afterward he announced
that the innovation apparently was not
attractive to his customers. He, there.
discontinued the practice.
Advocates of the sanitary means OF
distributing bakery products did not
discontinue their efforts. however. The
dangers incident 10 the use of bread
subjected to almost constant handling
from the time it left the oven, and to
the germ-lade dust during its trans
portation from the bakery to the con-
sumner. were pointed out at every OPP
portunity.
Examples of the benefits derived in
ether cities from the protection of
bread from contamination were put
before the people until there was de-
yeloped realization that disease and
dei tn might Turk in the main food OF
man. Their came the requirement OF
the people that their bread SHOULD be
wrapped.
The response to this demand was
made heartily by the bakers.
Standardization of loaf is expected
to come in the very near future. The
District officials, il is believed, now
have ample authority to require that
loaves of bread sold al certain prices
shall contain a minimum number OF
ounces. With the application of this
authority. the problem easily will be
solved.
