VARIETY IN BREAD.
Relish of Food Depends on Variety of
FlnvOrs.

One of the important facts about
our relish OF food. says the American
Kitchen Magazine. Is its dependence
upon certain variety OF flavors. Dys-
pepsia has been produced by the con-
stant use of the same foods cooked in
the same way, and cured by the mere
adoption OF a more varied diet There
Is danger In pampering the appetite,
OF course. and surfeiting It with va
riety: but this lies principally in the
pastry cooks department. A variety
OF breads is much less dangerous than
variety of pies and sweets. The old
southern fashion of five daily breads
for the table, was much more health
full one than the Northern fashion OF
unlimited cakes and pies. That num-
ber OF breads is. however. excessive.
One may need five breads during
month, but certainly not at any one
meal. Besides the many
kinds of bread to be secured by the
use OF the different grades and varie-
ties of wheat fiour-spring and winter.
high-grade and low-grade. whole
wheat. graham. etc.-there are corn
breads. rye breads, barley bread and
breads made from mixture of corn,
rye, wheat. barley. etc. Having. then.
an almost unlimited variety OF breads
to choose from, and bearing in mind
what bread should yield to a well-con-
sidered dietary. we certainly should be
unwise not to make our breads contri-
butte, as far as possible, not only to
the nourishment OF the body, but also
to the promotion OF good health in the
correction OF such minor arrangements
OF the system as may he reached by
judicious selection. variety OF per-
feet breads. not only breads with va
rious flavors. but Of different kinds,
containing different amounts of those
substances found in the wheat, would
serve better than a thousand doctors
to keep our country people in sound
health.

Double Deckers" are the latest thing
in women's shoes. The style is what
the dealers call fad style. 1t has

thick. The lower deck is good three
quarters of an inch wide. The upper
is q quarter of an inch in width and is
rope-stitched to the lower deck. The

and trimming OF the same style ex-
tending entirely around the shoe. The
eyelets are huge brass ones. Altogether
1t Is shoe about as graceful as an ele-
plants hoof. A shoe salesman was
showing his set of samples the other
day to layman. He lifted the double
decker and laid 1t down with sigh.

cruisers are steady and long wear

what We call freak toe. The shoe
has an absolutely straight line on the
inside, then sheers off suddenly on the
outside. SO that the point of the toe is
right at the inside corner of the shoe.
Instead of round toe there is simply
corner. That shoe sells best in Chi
cago. These are the best New York
sellers" he said. This one is light
weight kid shoe with patent leather
tip. flexible sole, and what's called a
medium toe. This other is heavier and
has larger toe. but is not freak. One
is a dress shoe. the other a street shoe.
Take 1t all in all, patent leather is the
best selling shoe in New York today.

like patent leather, but Is more flexible
