WAR BREAD IS BUNK,
LOCAL CHEFS CLAIM
Declare Recipe to Cut Living Cost
All Wrong, Also Sour"

What's a feller goin' to do is
the attitude taken by the bread
bakers in Washington hotels when
shown a receipt for the making of
bread that Is to be presented to Food
Administrator Hoover for his ap-
proval.
The recipe does not meet the un-
qualified approval of the bread
makers by any means. In fact, they
say that Ii will be impossible to
make good bread IL they follow It.
The bar sinister seems to be the
use of stale bread. Bread makers in
the more prominent Washington no.
tells say that sour bread is sure to
result.
The recipe which has caused a di-
versllled opinion among bread
makers is:
One butter tub of stale bread.
Ten quarts of water.
Ten ounces of salt.
Soak thoroughly and strain.
One-half pound of yeast.
Enough flour to make stiff dough.
knead and bake.
This recipe was presented to Mr..
Hoover today with a list OF sugges-
tions governing hotel menus.
A bread maker employed in one OF
the large hotels was asked about it.
Il want to do my share" he said,
''and l am saving in every way pos
sible. But l will never try to make
bread according to that recipe un-
less I am compelled to. Why, II
will sour the bread"
Other changes in hotel and res
taurant menus that 1t is proposed to
have Mr.. Hoover's Office espouse are
meeting the approval OF the hotel
men. For instance. Individual serv-
ice of bread and butter; all rolls to
be small and to contain 10 per cent
substitute flour; toast and bacon as
a Earniture to be discontinued, and
service of fresh pork discouraged,
while the broiling, roasting, braising
and stewing of all foods are to be
encouraged in order to conserve fats,
is right they say.
Baby lamb and sucking pig should
be barred from menus, and fried
dishes cut down, say the stewards of
local hotels.

1t Positively Indicates Your

When you see a person with
clear skin, flushed with the color
of perfect health. you will notice
that the skin is smooth and free

ton that rich red blood is cours,

that the blood is full of red cor
puscles. 1t would be able to
throw off a minor ailment imme-
diately. and be in much better
shape to successfully combat any
of the more serious and stubborn
diseases, which we are all liable
to.
For the same reason that
healthy, clear skin is an indica.
ton of strong pure blood. blotchy
and pimply skin is an indication
of a disordered condition of the
blood.
Improper eating and drinking
Incorporate habits, or unwise
treatment of simple infections,
cause the blood to deteriorate
producing effete matter which
acts as poisons and the circula.
ton carries these poisons to the
various tissues, especially the
skin. Then the blood begins tc
throw off the humors and acids

the skin. producing Eczema. Acne,

other skin eruptions of various
kinds.

PROBE TO Be ASKED
OF BUREAU AFFAIRS
Miss Rankin Drafting Resolution to
Introduce in House.

Representative Miss Jeanette Ran
kin will ask the House tomorrow TO
make a sweeping investigation into
Director Ralph's administration OF the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
In her resolution for an investiga-
ton OF conditions at the Bureau, Miss
Rankin will indicate various lines to
be followed. but primarily she hopes
to get higher wages for the employees,
and to get a Federal law to regulate
the hours of women in government
workshops and Offices.
Miss Rankin was busy all day yes
terday systematizing the reports that
have been piling upon her by the hun
dreds from workers in the Bureau.
and making the rough draft of the
resolution she will present in the
House.
Many Favor Overtime.
The first reports OF the day came
from women workers who attended a
meeting of about 300 employees at the
bureau Tuesday night, and declared
in favor OF overtime work. THE ma
jority of the persons at the meet
ing" declared the workers, were
negro women who are quite able TO
stand the overtime work, and men
who are able to stand It. There were
very few white women at the meet
ing, and there were not more than
200 persons there
The next reports came after the
members of Secretary McAdoo's in
vestigating committee had luncheon
at the bureau. For the first time
in weeks" telephoned the women to
Miss Rankin, I'VE had clean dishes
and music at luncheon. We have been
getting a good enough luncheon for
10 cents but until today our plates
and dishes were never clean. A long
time ago We had a phonograph but
that was taken away and 1t wasn't
restored until today when the COM
mittee arrived. We also had peas
today. an extra vegetable"
McAdoo VIII Not Change.
This committee merely inspected the
bureau yesterday, without interrogat-
ing women workers. and they will not
make any more recommendations un-
Ill they have made a thorough in
vestigation OF conditions.
Secretary McAdoo said yesterday
that there was not a chance of his
eight-hour decision being changed. and
that so long as he was in charge
that no one would work more than
S hours at the bureau.
