BREAD WILL, BE DIFFERENT
After Government Regulations Are in
Force Next Month.

Bennington bakers expect to COM
ply strictly with the regulations that
will go into effect December 10 un-
der the government license plan.
These regulations will be in effect af-
ter December 10 but as yet not much
is known regarding the changes that
will be necessary. Instructions have
begun to be received from Washing
ton but the actual restrictions have
not yet been made public. ua
The federal license will make nee
essary n number of re-adjustments in
the bakers business. 1t is under
stood that there is to be reduction
and limitation in the amount of extra
ingredients such as sugar, milk and
shortening and it will be necessary
for the bakers TO devise new methods
of mixing. fermentation and moulding
to meet the changes.
Bakers realize that the new product
is not going to taste just like the
bread being baked and sold today but
they believe that it will be fully as
palatable and healthy. The new bread
will not be so rich but perhaps may

cause of this fact.
The reduction in the amount of
sugar will not affect one of the Ben
nington bakers for the reason that he
has used corn sugar in his bread for
some time. Sugar is used primarily
for the purpose of aiding fermenta-
ton and in his case he has found that
the corn product is superior to that
derived from cane.
Cutting down the shortening and
the substitution OF skim milk for
whole milk are the changes that are
going to give the new bread a new
taste, or perhaps a lack OF taste
1t is, of course. understood that the
licensing plan is being adopted for
the purpose of conserving certain in
gradients that are limited in quantity
because of the war. The bakers are
of the opinion that they are able to
carry out this conservation scheme
to a better advantage than the indi-
vidual housewife. The loss of -four
in a bakery is reduced to a minimum
while it is impossible for housewife
to produce as many ounces of bread
with a given number of ounces OF
-four as a baker The modern bak
cry plant is constructed on scientific
principles to utilize every ounce OF
material and to avoid all waste.
1t is known fact that the smaller
the batch of bread the larger is the
waste that follows each individual
baking The loss of few ounces OF
| flour in each household makes a biz
| total when distributed throughout the
entire country.
| One of the rules of the government
under the licensing system will Il,

have not yet been fixed but 1t is pro
bable that there will be but two sizes

loaf that shall weigh not less than @
ounces or more than % ounces.
The bakers are hoping to receive
the cooperation of the public in car

cense act. They realize that i
means the turning out of a type o
bread to which we have not been ac
customed but they are coNfident tina
the people will realize that we ar
