— GAKERS WOULD LIKE TO. CURB . BREAD PRICES High Profits Not in Line With Good Business, One Says. By J. C. ROYLE. The Casp Tribune June 3—"No pro- big baker in the United States wants to increase the price of » loaf of bread.” That is the opinion of William B. | ‘Ward, who, since his accession to the presidency of the Ward i ing com is the biggest in America. He declared in addition that he ‘was confident he spoke not only for his. own company, which controls 19 plants in 13 large cities, but for the industry in general. No far-sighted baker,” he declar- ed, “desires to increase the price be-| cause he would far rather increase } the size of his business, One can not build a great and profitable business by grabbing a high profit from one loaf. The taste of the public tells the story. If you can please that taste the public will buy your product and continue to buy it in increasing quantities. If you fail to please that taste, your pa- trons—the housewives of America— immediately become your competl- tors. “The baking business is the one industry I know where this ts true. Today 49 per cent of the bread con- sumed in America is made in the homes of America.@If the house- wives who rule those homes are not satisfied with your product or your price, they can and will produce their own bread in competition with you. Therefore, the baking indus- try can never become a monopoly, no matter how large baking com- panies may grow, for no company can find it possible to grow or ex- pand beyond the point where the public it serves believes it deserves to grow. “The last 14 years have shown the most remarkable strides in the making of bread. Up to 1910, ovens ny, had been practically — ur i since the days of the flood. under a gravity system and ope tion of traveling ovens, baking 5,000 loaves an hour, not a human hand touches the ing nts from the time the mixed until the finished loaf is sealed and wrapped in a protective covering. “The old idea of a baker visuallz- ed the scene of operations in a cel- lar which was forbidden after an investigation showing communt- cable disease in more than 50 per cent of such establishments. There are still some of these bakerles in existence, but it is the improvement of santt conditions in materials and in nourishment that has turned the housewife from home bread pro duction to the bakeries “As to standardization of product, the modern big baker maintains a chemical department which takes nothing on trust and which tests the purity and nutritive value of every ingredient entering into the modern loaf of bread. With all of | this, no two loaves of bread ever were exactly allke. “When flour is mixed with yeast | and other ingredients, it is instinct | with life. Like a human being, if | given proper and treatment | and closely watched, it turns out | care well, If it does not receive proper | treatment it turns out badly. Prac- tice makes perfect, however, and through quantity production, the quality of the loaf of bread is being steadily advanced b “Weight, or size, mean lttle Nourishment {s the quality that must be present. There is not a big baker today who could not make | bread and sell ft at a cheaper price, | but the bread go made, of flour, yeast, sa%® and water, would | not carry the sustenance of the present loaf, ne matter how large or how heavy the individual loaf were made. There are low and high grades of flour and low and high grades , eggs, Yeast, salt and short A loat.weighing a pound made of or ingredients, may contain less nourishment than one far smaller and lighter. A quart: of milk furnishes a parallel mple. One may 1 quart of high grade | full cream milk or a quart of skim| milk. The bulk is the same, but the food value shows a remarkable Aifferenc The public will repeat on ity and that is what the] me baker must give them.” With rd to fluctuations in the cost of raw material, Mr, Ward said “The cost of flour does not tell the whole story. Flour represents less than 25 per cent of the cost of the ingredients of a loaf of bread. Another 25 per cent of the total cost is caused by ng and dis tribution. Then there are the sant tary precautions represented by waxed paper and other necessary products. The public insists on thém and properly, but they are as legitimate a part of the cost of the bread as flour and yeast.” KANSAN HELD IN JAIL HERE George B, Richardson was picked up at Midwest morning by | Der Les hardson is | wante on a felor charge at June | tion Kans.

How- ever, the fastidious who may desire Philadelphia capon, chestnut dress- ing, carrots, peas, saute potatoes and compote, can have it all for $1.50. New York still insists upon look- ing at’ the convention as something of a circus or six-day bicycle race. The food contract, for instance, stipulates that ‘nothing shall be sold on the floor of the convention.” Peanuts for the politicians of that stripe must be bought in the outside corridors at 10 cents a bag. The peanut concession was not in great demand at the Garden for at this convention there will be no elephant to feed. y It also is gravely announced that “no intoxicating Mquors” will be sold, bartered, or exchanged on the premises. ¥ Bishop Breaks Ankle in Fall PHILADELPHIA, June 3.—Bishop Charles Wesley Burns, formerly of Montana area of the Methodist Epis- copal church and recently trans- ferred to the San Francisco area, suffered a broken ankle while vis- iting his country Home at Halbgro, near here, it became known today.
