Costly Ingredients Fewer
local Bakers May Eliminate
/ Delivery and Wrapping as
Means to Cut Down Price,
as Hoover Suggests

Elimination ei bread delivery, dis.
continuance OF the practice OF wrapping
individual loayes, paying cash and less
ening certain expensive ingredients will
permit the bakers Of 0khhonm City to
cut the price Of bread considerably.
But
II the grocers and retailers and con.
sumcrS OF the city want their bread de
liyered and wrapped and carried around
on a silver platter--theyll pay for the
service, that's all.
That is the opinion OF leading OK
lahoma City baker when told this morn
ing about the regulations Of Herbert
Hoover, national food administrator,
and Of the official recipe for bread to
be used by the bakers OF the nation
hcnceiorth.
How II Differs
The recipe provides for a maxi
mum OF three pounds ni beet or
cane sugar or three and one half
pounds OF corn sugar in making
bread from a barrel Of 100 pounds
of flour Five pounds OF cane or
beet sugar has been the allotment
'up.to this time
Only six pounds OF skim milk are
allower for the same quantity oi
flour. Six pounds OF whole milk IS
the preseilt proportion
Two pounds OF compounds C1u
tanning a maximum ~ IS percent
ot animal fats or lwo pounds ol
vegetable fats, is the maximum
shortening allotment lor barrel ol
flour -Four pounds oi lard has
been used u plu this time
Under the Hoover recipe. when

to the dough, the sugar content Of
the milk must be deducted from the

 "Our Allies cannot fight without food. Our enemies are calculating that America will fail to supply them. and that they will need to give in.
 The total stock of food available in the Allied world is not sufficient to last until September, if America con- tinues it's present rate of consump- tion., We are now face to face with the result of last years poor harvest, tho diversion of n.an-power from ag- riculture all over the world, the un- availing efforts of European women to plant availa ble fields fully, the isolation of Russia, the sinking of food ships, and many other causes.
 England. France and Italy are re- ducing consumption by drastic steps, but even with all this reduction they must have from us during the next three months more than twice as much food as we would have exported normally or than we can send If we consume as usual. The only hope of providing the deficiency is by the elim- ination of waste and actual and rig
