BREAD PRICES TO FALL;
MEAT AND SUGAR NEXT
Food Administrator on Gaining Powers, Will Force
Reductions of One-half to One-third Unless
Millers and Bakers Act

WASHINGTON, June 2<.-The 10 cent
LOAF OF bread is TO 60. 1t was learned
to-day that one Of the early acts Of
the new food administration. when 1t
receives its powers from Congress. will
be to WELD the axe on the prices OF
important food commodities where it
appears that there is no justification
Tor the increases which have been i'm
posed from time TO time since the Euro
pean war began
Bread prices are regarded by many
OF the grain and -four experts attached
10 the Government as inflated TO an
extraordinary degree. They will be re-
duced from one-third to one-half all
over the United States IL present plans
are carried out
Prices of meat and sugar will be
forced TO drop along with those Of bread
and breadstuffs. Other commodities will
experience reductions as basis is dis
covered for the belief that the prices
are unwarranted.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1917-06-25

1t is hope OF the food administration
that the grain men, millers and bakers
will reduce prices voluntarily. IL they
do not the powers conferred in the Lever
bill will be exercised and reductions
forced.
No satisfactory explanation has been
offered fer the extraordinary high prices
for bread in this country. particularly
in view of the fact that France. England
and Italy import wheat from the United
States and sell bread made from II al
prices lower than those which prevail
here.
The first measure to reduce bread
prices will he the imposition of an en-
barge on wheat. This will result in an
immediate drop in wheat prices, IL is
expected. and as "A sequence -four should
drop correspondingly and then bread. The
food administration will allow a rea-
sonable time for these natural courses
of the market 10 take effect, IL there
is a halt anywhere along the line the
authority Of the administration ithme-
diately will be brought 20 bear.

SCHOONER RIDDLED BY SHELLS
Long Missing Rebecca Palmer At
tackled by Submarine.

American shipping men who have
been wondering why the big Ave masted
Yankee schooner Rebecca Palmer. which
arrived al Liverpool from Savannah last
December. had not returned to this side
OF the sea. had the mystery solved for
them yesterday when some OF her crew
landed at an American port.
They said the Palmer was attacked
by submarine of the Irish coast in the
middle OF December and so badly dam
aged by shell fire that she was forced
Ia lay up. The British docks were filled
with shipping. so II was impossible for
her to repair. and she may remain in
England until after the war.

hands. Use small top milking pail.
This helps to keep foreign matter from
the milk.
Immediately after milking remove
the milk to separate room from the
barn to be strained and cooled. Cool
the milk to as low temperature as
possible without freezing. Forty or 30
degrees f. retards growth OF most
germs and particularly those that cause
milk to sour quickly.
In summer keep flies out Of the barn
and milk room. One fly may carry as
many as 10000 germs to the milk.
These may be disease germs. Manure
should not be allowed to accumulate
around the barn. 1t Is a breeding place
for flies.
The number of bacteria In milk de-
ponds largely upon cleanliness OF milk
ing and handling, temperature at
which milk Is kept and age of milk.
Therefore clean milk. quick cooling and
