Effective at once, the bakers
of Texas will cut down the use Of
flour in cakes and pastries to so
per cent, using only so per cent
Of wheat flour. Not only have
the bakers agreed to do this, but
they have also gone on record
for cutting out the making of
all sweet breads and cakes, such
as crullers and doughnuts, which
call for considerable shortening.
These two important steps
were the outgrowth of the final
session of the Master Bakers
