'IVE-CENT LOAF
IS HOOVER'S AIM
FOR WAR BREAD
\)od Administrator Believes
14 Ounces Can Be Sold
For Nickel at Profit
Washington. Sept. 18.—A standard
oaf of bread for the 40,000,000
mericans who depend on the
nkery to supply them with the staff
f life is expected to bo the achieve
lent of Herbert C. Hoover, national
ood administrator, working now in
on junction with the. war emergency
oard of the Association of Master
iakers In an effort to solve the vital
roblem created by the entrance of
tar prices into the bread business.
This board, composed of twelve
nen, should make its final report to
dr. Hoover this week. It is the hope
if the food administration, with the
o-operation of the bakers of the
ountry, that the price of bread to
he consumer will be stabilized pres
ntiy and brought down to a. figure
ommensurate with the reduction of
3 In the cost of a barrel of flour,
I'hlch resulted from the fixing of
he $2.20 wheat price.
But one thing is certain. No matter
chat the bakers say, and it is known
hey are giving the food administra
ion not a little trouble, governmen
al action will be resorted to in or
ler to guarantee a fair price for
>read to the consumer. Already, it
s pointed out, the .estimated 60 per
ent. of the American people who
a home-baked bread are beginning
o reap the benefits Of the decreased
ost of wheat and the reduced price
if flour, and Mr. Hoover Is determin
d that the other 40 per cent,, the
>eople who live in the cities and buy
rom the bakeries, shall in the same
legree, plus the actual cost of baking
•read, plus a fair, apd only a fair,
>roflt to the baker, be enabled to
•enefit from the lowered cost of the
aw wheat.
To Fix Price Standards
The present outlook is th- Presi
lent Wilson will promulga i bread
•rices, or standards, just as he will
hortly announce the official price of
oal at the retailers'. And in the
ame manner that coal dealers will
>e licensed by the government bread
■akeries will bo licensed and held
trictly to the provisions of the li
:ense, which will set forth the price
>r standard. Violation of the provi
ilona of the license will mean that
he baker will be thrown out of busi
icss and his plant requisitioned and
•perated in accordance with the
•road regulations, whatever they
ihall be. No baker, large or small,
vill be exempt frevn the necessity of
•eing licensed.
What the standard for a, loaf of
•read is to be is a question now wide
y discussed, but the food admlnis
ration has consistently hoped and
timed for a fourteen-ounce loaf to
)e sold for five cents. Inasmuch as a
oaf of this size is bringing ten cents
n many places, the benefit to the
lonsumer of a realization of this aim
s strikingly apparent. "

Pass Along the
SMOKES
YOU warm-hearted people of Harrisburg won't let "the men
who are fighting your fight go smoke-hungry.
Not a bit of it. You're going to see to it that they get
all the tobacco they need—just as the folks back home in Eng
land and Prance are taking care of the smokes for Tommy and
Poilu. - .?
It isn t much to do —considering. A dollar or a quarter from
you that gives a little comfort to one of your own flesh'and blood
doesn t stack up to much alongside the fact that the very man
you are befriending may have to give up his life.
But it's a regular thing to do—and you "regular" men and
women of Harrisburg will do it.
This is the way. Fill in that coupon in the corner, put it
in an envelope together with all you can afford to give and drop '
it in the nearest box now, addressed to

CAMPAIGN FOR
"Our Boys In France
Tobacco Fund"
Appi oved by the Secretaries of War and Navy, the manage
ment ot this fund buys its tobacco at cost —every contribution of
twenty-five cents means forty-five cents worth of tobacco for the
man out there. No one profits but the fighting man—rents, post
age, advertising are all contributed and the soldier who gets your
tobacco will send you a postal telling how much it meant to him.
There s no argument here. Just put your name on that blank

against the early start of the Read

DP. willitts' Criticism.—Dr. C. H.
Willitts, of one of the Philadelphia
district boards, declared in a state
ment yesterday that the boards were
hampered because or conditions at
Washington and Hafrisburg. In a
statement in which there was no
mincing of words Dr. Willitts took
the Governor to task. Incidentally,
after directing attention to the
$2,000,000 appropriated by the Legis
lature for emergency war purposes,
he suggests that it made available |
funds for tho purposes of the draft I
and should have bene drawn upon |
to meet the emergency. According
to Dr. Willitts, none of the local
boards have received a cent from j
the federal government or the state j
since the work of certifying for the i
draft was undertaken. Many of !
them, according to Dr. Willitts, "have
been handicapped through the in- I
ability to employ the help necessary
to carry on the work. Aside from
the financial handicap, however. Dr.
Willitts charges that the authorities
at Harriuburg, as well as fit Wash

and an enormous amount of extra
work by the frequent change In or
ders sent the local boards.
