BIG SISTERS CLUB
TO AID WOMEN
NBEATING H.. .C.L.

The Big Sisters Club is going TO
demonstrate how Washington women
can defy high bread prices by making
their own bread and yeast. Mrs. Fred
~ Dubois told today how they are
going to do IL,
:. Why don't women OF Washington
make their own yeast?" asked Mrs.
dubois. why don't they make
Eheir own bread?
= ANY woman OF common intelli-
Rence can produce a sixteen-ounce
toRf OF bread for less than cents,
gwen though the price of flour is ex-
ceedingly high. Ever since Mr.. Burns,
OF the National Bakers Association.
told the women OF this nation they
must forget the Scent loaf ever ex-
listed the women OF Washington in
terested in social service have organ
iEed and have been quietly demon
grating the old-fashioned method OF
yeast making and bread making, and
ere now ready to demonstrate that
they can produce from 2T5 to 300
Ioaves of nutritious bread of fne fber
from a barrel OF flour.
a There are 1876 pounds OF flour to
the barrel, or 3,136 ounces. We will
use from ten to twelve ounces OF
flour to q sixteen-ounce loaf Several
years ago the president of the Ma
tional Bakers Association gavs cut
the statement that they could aver
age 800 scent loaves from q barrel
Of flour.
1T Is the patriotic duty OF every
woman In the country to bake bread
Just as II Is her duty to knit. We --ill
accept Mr.. Burns statement and Cor
get the bakers Scent loaf, but IN SO
doing the women Of the Capital will
also forget that bakers ever existed.
They will form community kitchen
eenters and distributing stations for
war bread. There scent loaves can
Pc made or purchased.
I'VE will do away with the middle
man and overhead charges, and. will
use live yeast to win this war against
high prices and profiteering."
