SHORT-WEIGHT BREAD.
[To The Euitou Stkatfoum Post.]
Sir, —Bread at 9d per loaf is heavy enough for people in a comforfcahlo position. Hoiv mothers manage whose husbands work only during fine weather is a puzzle. To say to the hungry school boy, "1 can give you no more bread—it is too dear," is hard on any mother. But when the four-pound loaf is weighed (two two-pound loaves) and found to be eight ounces short, then times are hard indeed. This was my experience this morning. Other loaves weighed were from two to four ounces short. 1 might add that these loaves were not what is understood to be fancy bread.—l am, etc.,
HOUSEKEEPER
P.S.—Some time ago I noticed in the paper that Mr Massey meant to move in the matter of the price of foodstuffs. The bakers complain of the price of flour. Can you tell me sir, whether anything has been done?
