Show English Bakeries. The result of the inquiries recently made as to the sanitary arrangements connected with the trade of baking is anything but reassuring. Bakeries are said to exist in Manchester where the cleanliness which should obtain in the preparation of food is impossible. Some of the bakers complain that the ma- chinery now used takes "the flavor out of the bread." They prefer the old method of "dancing on the dough." The Lancet commissioner naturally .expressed a hope that "the men washed ttoeir feet," and was cheerfully assured that they did after the bread was made, as otherwise they could not put their boots on again. It is desirable that the city authorities should deal with this matter immediately, and see that the staif of life is supplied to the people under un-der somewhat better conditions than at present.
