from the food administration to make white bread with eggs for this purpose yet he was forced to admit that In selling the bread he did not always sell exclusively to Ills Hebrew customers The question of cornstarch came up again In the course of the discussion but no ruling was made on account of the fact that many bakeshops probably had large quantities on hand which would be a heavy loss

food administration and the general public There were present at the meeting twenty-four of th representative bakers of Richmond Tho meeting ns whole was marked by a spirit of obvious uneasiness on tho part of tho bakers and a marked reticence In the matter of expi'ci-sing their opinions Ir Bethel of thn division of enforcement who is the legal aid of the food administration was Introduced by Mr Mr Bethel spoke briefly of the reasons for calling tho conference of bakers and commended Mr Turccll highly There has been no hearing of the bakers hitherto" explained Mr Bethel "but the spirit of the food admin is tration la co-operation Mr Purcell is technically versed in questions affecting the baker and he is tho ona to whom yqu want to talk The part the enforcement dlvlrlon plays Is to put the outlaw who refuses to conform to the regulations of the food administration out of business The federal food administration bespeaka- your hearty co-opcration not in any spirit of roerclon" Mr Purcell then explained that he had Jut received a telegram from Washington which required definite answers to pointed questions anti ho thought these questions were better answered by laying them before the bakers themselves ALL LOCAL BAKERS MAKF "VICTORY The first question which Mr Purcell put to tho assembled bakers of thn city was: "Are you all baking bread'?" There being no audible response ho asked any baker present who for any reason was not baking "victory to hold up his hand No hand went up Mr Purcell cold that quits recently he had found that about 8 per cent of tho bakers of the city and State were not complying with the regulations of the required ratio of four to one In the matter of wheat flour and substitute cereals or potatoes and expressed his pleasure that they were all now complying with this regulation of the food administration The next question concerned the reduction of the output to 80 per cent of the former volume of business during the time when for nny reason the bakers were not complying with the regulation about substitutes Mr Tut cell went on to say that In case It wns not possible for any baker lo secur the substitutes required by law it was of the utmost Importance that he notify the local food administration and immediately cut his output to so Per cent "It Is not that the food administration wants to keep close tab on said Mr Purcell "but In Jjsilce to competitors who would have just causa for complaint If no restriction was Qlnced on output in such lie mads It plain that the action of his ofllee in sending Inspectors to tho bakeries was not a police measure lut was necessary In order to check up results from the mixing of substitute (lours and to obtain valuable information for general uae "Can each of you secure a substitute that Is approved that will enable you to put 20 per cent of It into the manufacture of was next asked tho bakers After an appreciable pause one baker answered In the affirmative but the remainder preserved a cautious silence Mr Purcell then took up the matter of potatoes as a substitute for flour and asked If in the opinion of the bakers there was a surplus sufficient to use SO per cent if cereals were not available and also If pota toes were really practicable In the manufacture of bakery products and If they could he used advantageously PROBLEMS IN VSE OK Ht'BSTITL'TE The bakers were decidedly uncommunicative on this matter alBo al though ona of them expressed himself forcibly to the eifect that he had tried everything in the line of substitutes but hla bread came out like a board with "no spring to MrT'urci-ll then put the question to them of the advisability of closing out any baker after March 10 who Insistently used white flour In the manufacture of his products "IVhat would you recommend us a fair measure for bakers outside of Richmond who perhaps cannot secure substitutes all the was asked Several bskera expressed tlielr opinions relative to the fairness of arbitrary tnussiiros and suggestoil a time limit In which to procure substitutes The general sentiment of tho conference was to the effect that Jf tho baker did not exert himself to procure substitutes ho was not entitled to any undue considers thm on tho part of the food administration The matter of the Increased usn of corn starch provoked more discussion then hail been accorded any toplo previously Introduced It wis brought out In the discussion which followed that while It wn recognised that corn si arch ws unwholesome end highly Indigestible yet the use of it hud a lemlency to whiten bread nnd make a nice-looking finished product which soli well to customers who objected lo hurley bread on account of Its dark uipeariinc nail for tills reason refused to buy It looks llkn putty nnd Ihey Just want commented one of the bilkers A sirong point wsn brought out hy baker present In the discussion rela-live to Hi unsltrxctlve spparHncn of luikery bread which conformed necessarily to government regulations MGIKKTM KIIMNG OK EMI I II AT Till!
