DO not throw away bread because it
is dry; it can be utilized in many ways;
keep it in tin box or dry place; it can
be used for buildings, fritters, and for
any mixture where rolled crackers
would be used by many; bread is pre-
ferred to cracker as it will not absorb
fat when used for dressing.
When bread is scarce and you do
not care to heat the oven, take three
cupfuls sweet milk, a spoonful of salt
and one of baking powder; add flour to
stir very stiff. Fry in skillet with a
