The WAY to Eat Bread.

81 believe the American is the best eater
in the world" said Robert A. Howard, of
Baltimore, las he is also the best fed man.
He knows what is good to eat and how to
cook it and combines in his menu the best
dishes of all nations, but with all that he
is woefully deficient in his eating in one
very essential respect, and that is he per-
sists in slicing his bakers bread as he does
pound cake. On recent trip to Europe
noticed that the Frenchmen never cuts
his bread, and the man who applies his
knife to loaf in French restaurant or
hotel is at once set down as i'll bred.
"The Frenchman always breaks his
bread and pulls it to pieces instead of
slicing it as we do. There is excellent
sense in this custom, too, as Lhave found,
for bakers bread, eaten as the Frenchman
eats it, is undoubtedly sweeter and tastes
much fresher. San Francisco Argonaut.

THE OLD STANDBY

One dozen bottles of the genu-
inc Johann Hoff's Malt Extract
gives as much strength and nour-
ishment as a cask of ale, without
being intoxicating. 1t is highly
beneficial for use at meal time
for convalescents, weak children
and ladies, and as a general tonic
for the weak and debilitated.
Insist upon the genuine Johann
Hoff's which must have the sig
nature of "Johann Hoff'' on the
neck label. Beware of limitations.
