that the Roisoner or poisoners, II
found, would be backed up against .

Here Is the official explanation
given by the quartermastsr officers
at Washington Barracks:
A combination OF rookie" baker
and hot weather. and a saving on salt
produced q batch OF bad bread
SmeIIed to High Heaven.
It wasn't necessary to send the
bread to chemical analysts to learn It
was bad. The. bakery smelled to
high heaven and the bread was fat in
the pans.
whereupon the whole batch Of bread
was sent to the ineinerators, before
further damage was done to the Dis
trict health regulations, and a new
batch. prepared by expert bakers
without rookie" assistance. was pre-
pared for the ovens.
!, The influx of recruit bakers at the
barracks Is held responsible for the
mtshapu. The army needs bakers.
and some bread must be spoiled be-
fore the men learn to bake
