Bread Must Have Label of Weight

Bread, wrapped and sealed by the
baker or manufacturer thereof. must
carry label setting forth the net
weight of loaf. Such is the decision
and order of w. E. Barney, state
food and dairy commissioner.
1--WE have had this question up
with the bakers and also the feder-
al authorities said Barney yester-
day 'The order is therefore, that
bread wrapped and sealed by the
baker or manufacturer must be
labeled. the label to show the net
weight of the loaf. Old wrappers
now on hand in many bakeries may
be used until January l, 1921, pro-
viding the loaf enclosed in such
wrapper weighs as much or more
than the wrapper imprint declares.
But if the loaf weighs less than the
weight printed on old wrappers, such
wrappers cannot be used. The
order will be rigidly enforced at once
in Iowa by officers from this depart
ment."
This ruling has been made be-
cause bakers have been selling bread.
the wrappers bearing an imprint
met weight twenty ounces when
the loaf weighed but sixteen or
eighteen ounces, Barney says,

Louisville, KY, July 12.-Harder
shedding is in prospect for liquor law
violators who have covetous eyes on

Recent disclosures indicate that
permits from prohibition directors OF
other states to take whisky from

ed to make it appear that a greater
quantity could be removed than was
authorized.
Contemplated changes in the per-
nit system, include the use of devices
similar to those used on bank checks.
Moreover, according to statements
from the office of Elwood Hamilton,
collector Of internal revenue for Ken
