BETTER DISTRIBUTION

Through the cooperation of the bank ing industry and also with the backing of the licensed system, Food Admini1- trator Hoover expects to work reforms in the present method of distribution from wholesale bakeries to retailers and and from retailers to customers. He will urge grocers. for instance. to buy regular quantities of bread, limiting their purchases to a single bakery i'm stead of buying from four or five, as at present, and to make lower charges to customers who pay cash and carry their goods home than to those kn- sisting on delivery and credit. On the
 leash and carry basis, he says. bread can be sold at a profit of one cent a pound loaf. In addition, an attempt will be made to persuade wholesale bakeries to sell their product direct to customers who will pay cash and carry their purchases.
 In licensing the baking industry, which produces about 40 per cent of the coun- try's bread, MT. Hoover indicated no effort would be made to encourage use of mixed flour containing other cereal products than wheat, since experiments have shown such flour does not keep well. Neither will the administration ask housewives who bake their own bread to mix flour, but will seek in stead to have them observe one wheat Hess meal day each week. Restau- rants and hotels which use about 15 Ger cent of the total output, will be asked to have one wheatless day a. week.
 The food administration estimates that about 40 per cent of the bread produc- tion of the country is in commercial bakeries and 50 per cent in homes.
 MILLING STANDARDS Milling standards. now requiring man ufacture of about P per cent of the wheat grain into flour, have been found l more efficient, from considerations ol health and keeping qualities. and prob ably will not be changed.
 j, "The requirement. that all bread shal l be baked in multiples of one pound. ' MT. Hoover said, in his statement an nouncing the forthcoming proclamation has several objectives-economy in la.
 bor of baking and economy in mate rials, as small breads are more wastefu l in baking than larger units. The breac
 remains fresh longer in larger loavei and there will be less loss of stale bread"

Mixed Flour Will Not Be EncOuraged-President to Issue PrOclama-
 tion Today

Washington, November II. Definite steps to standardize bread and lower it's price will be taken tomorrow when President Wilson is- sues a proclamation placing all bakeries under govern ment license December 10 and subjecting them to food administration rules pre- .scribing ingredients and weights of loaves-
 Prices will not be fixed, but with the standardization it is expected that natural competition and simplification of distribution will force down prices for pound loaves to or cents.
 Fancy breads will be eliminated
 and the multitudes of sizes now produced will be reduced to con-
 form with standard ingredients.
 The weights will be one pound. one and half. two and four pounds. The loaves will have crease in the middle to permit their sale In halves. Tn baking only three pounds of sugar will be allowed for barrel of flour i'm stead of the present average of six pOundh. and two pounds of vegetable oil shortening must he used instead of six pounds of lard or oil. The food administration ex- poets to save 1O0,OOO.OO0 pounds of sugar and the same amount of lard In this way.
