The subject Of marriage has always
been one Of great Importance to men ana
women, but the thought of what we
should marry for Is causing us great per-
plexity to-day. A quarter of century
or more ego a man unuallys felt that
there was time In his life when he
needed a woman to love and make a
home for him. A girl on the other HAND,
was brought up with the notion that 1t
tect her; it was the destiny of woman to
be home-maker and the mother of q
family

make him hapny. FIe was not so pari-
cular abont her being handsome, stylish
maker and well versed in the affairs Of
housekeeping A woman in earlier days
had her ideals as well as man, She
did not care whether her husband belong
ed to a dozen clubs or was interested IN
athletics; far more important was II
that he was kind and devoted TO his
family.
But ideals have changed considerably
In the last few years; with change IN
standards we have come to believe that

who asks her to become his wife have a

character.

LEAvERED BREAD

Has Been Mans Constant Mainstay
From Time Immemorial.
Some writer has sal: that ''The first miller
emerging from his savage state, with no
thought save hunger, plucked the wheat
from the stock, and, using his teeth for mill
stones, ground the first grist for customer
who would not be denied-his stomach"
Thus gaining experience by test in the food
line, it would be only natural for this miller
to lay up quantity of grain against an hour
of need. Just when he commenced grinding
his wheat in the rude stone mortar and
moistening the -four preparatory to baking
it in the ashes of his camp fire, and just
when it was found that an old piece of dough
in fresh batch made it better or ''leavened''
It, is beyond the reach of historians. Ger.
tain it is that though the principle was the
same thousands of years ago as it is to-day,
it has remained for the makers Of Yeast
Foam to supply yeast with all the true
leavening powers minus the properties that
produce sour, "runny" or soggy bread. This
is the yeast that took the first grand prize

This yeast is the only kind that preserves
in the bread all the delicious favor and
