The Swedes Of the United States

cluded to call it 300 years, and make

VERY few consumers of wheaton
products are aware Of the fact that
crackers are the Oldest form of bread.
Fragments Of unfermented cakes
we're discovered in the Swiss lake
dwellings,, which belong to the neo-
lithic age of the world. Although
this rude form Of bread was early
discarded for the fermented variety,
yet in this, as in many other matters,
it was found convenient 20 returnto q
discarded and apparently valueless
process. Thin, unfermented cakes
were found to possess meritsfor spec
ial purposes. They would keep good
for a great length of time, and thus
afforded wholesome and nutritious
food in n portable and convenient
form. The simplicity of their max
ing and baking was also a point in
their favor.
