Sufferers from Indigestion are ad-
vised to eat stale bread; the staier
the better. they are told. There Is in
the museum a: Naples some bread
which ought to be stale enough for any
body. It was baked one day in Au-
gust. 70 A. D.. in one OF the curious
ovens still to be seen at Pompeii. says
the London Mail.
More than eighteen centuries. there

oven. So II may claim to be the Oldest
bread In the world. You may see II

the bakers name.
In shape and size they resemble the

black a. charcoal. which. In fact, they
closely resemble. This was not their
original color. but they have become
carbonized. and IL eaten would prob
ably remind one of charcoal biscuits
When new they may have weighed
about couple OF pounds each. and

Is most Of the bread In oriental coun-
tries at the present time.
The popular idea that Pompeii was
destroyed by lava is fallacious one
II a lava stream had descended upon
the city the bread and everything else
In the place would have been utterly

under ashes and fine cinders called by
the Italians lapilli.

A piece Of the comb seems to have

some young Pompeiian having helped
himself to It and, sitting down to eat

what became Of the piece-whether the
