care government is today pre-
pairing to wage war against
"bread bootleggers."
Following the cabinets de-
cision to restrict the sale of
bread to dry bread ard luxury
meals to two courses, squads of
restriction agents were being
formed today to enforce these
regulations and to bring into
court any who sell fresh bread
or serve luxury meals of more
than two courses.
Housewives were inclined to
applaud the new regulations,
but the French gourmet was
not so happy.
The government estimates
that the restriction upon the
sale of fresh bread will reduce
the grain consumption by 20
per cent, and will make lower
prices an early accomplishment.
