The Wrapping of Bakers Bread.

1t has been said that the making
Of a perfect loaf of bread is the goal
OF all those who aspire to excel in
cookery. Certainly bread, which forms
a part OF every we'll planned meal. is
a food OF which the palate nerve new

size and symmetry. crust and crumb,
when it leaves the bakers oven, it
may nevertheless experience subse-
Quent changes which sooner or later
render it less attractive. palatable or
wholesome. Stale bread does not ap-
peal to the taste in the same way that
fresh specimens of the staff of life"
do; but in addition to the development
of StalenesS bread may also develop
sO-called bread diseases caused by
micro organisms, rendering the pro-
duct unfit for human consumption. Fur
thermore, like many other unprotect-

purely mechanical carrier of objec-
tionable organisms.
The recent agitation in behalf OF i'm
proved conditions in the food indus
tries has involved not only the adul-
iteration OF the products entering into
the ration OF man and the domestic
animals, but likewise the cleanliness
of the articles of diet intended for hui
man consumption. The plea for clean
