new kind Of bread which, according
70 It's discoverers. refuses to grow stale
even though the loaf be kept for four or
five days is the latest step in ingenious
economy inspired by Herbert Hoover's az
peal to stop the food waste.
Liberty Loaf" Is the name of the new
bread, which has been put out by the Fre-
hofer bakeries.
member of the firm, Charles Heerenden,
a middle western baker and chemist, has
been experimenting for forty years upon a
process that would keep bread fresh and
light for week or more.
I'VE knew about the valuable work that
Heerenden had DONE" Mr.. Freebooter said.
''and We felt 1t our duty. If the tremendous
bread waste could be eliminated In a time
like this. to investigate the matter. The
result wasN that we bought up the rights
to the Heerenden process did some addi-
tional experimenting in our own bakeries
and brought forth a loaf Of bread that will
not grow stale for a longer time, imagine,
than bread has ever been kept fresh be-
fore"
The bread, Mr.. Freebooter said, is war
bread only because the ingenuity which
made 1t possible is the result of the urgent
necessity to stop waste at this time. 1t Is
not made of substitute materials as is the
war bread of Europe.
"In fact" Mr. Freebooter continued, there
need be no alarm at all In America as to
tne possible introduction or substitute
breads, particularly so long as the people
here respond to the appeal of the food ad-
ministration to do their part toward con.
serving the. supply of white bread. 1t was
