Philadelphia, Oct. S.-Philadelphia

Herbert C. Hoover, national food ad-
ministrator, in the preparation OF D.
cent loaf of war bread. 1t is also pro.
posed to establish standardized
methods of mixing and making the
bread. The new war loaf, 1t Is said,
will effect a saving of sugar, lard and
milk, and yet be wholesome. The de-
partment of agriculture in cooperation
with Mr. Hoover, has sent D. r. ia
cobs of the bureau of chemistry here
TO instruct bakers in the preparation
Of the bread. Mr.. Jacobs said In an
interview:
"The exact weight of the new loaf !
cannot tell at present, but l will say
that its size will effect considerable
saving over present prices. After the
experiment Is tried out in this city, we
shall establish the same methods and
recipes in every section of the United
States.
ri anticipate no difficulty in securing
the cooperation Of the bakers, as we
are satisfied that If they carry out in
structions they will be able to put the
new bread on the market at profit
that will allow them to continue BUSH
ness as usual"
According to Mr.. Jacobs, the new
bread is the result of long series OF
experiments carried on to determine
whether there might be some way In
which the steadily increasing price of
the staff Of life could be lowered. The
experiments met with success, both
from the chemical and mechanical
standpoints.
