WHEN WIVES WERE PLENTIFUL.
Conditions in English Marshes Two
Centuries Ago.

Centuries Ago.
Defoe, the author of Robinson Cru
soe." travelled through the great east
arm marshes Of England in 1922. He
records that in that damp part of the
world" it was common to meet with
Q man who had from five TO fifteen
wives; indeed. he says, that some had
more. Defoe adds that merry fel-
low, who had himself had about a
score Of wives, told him that the men
Of the marshes, being seasoned to the
damp climate, took little harm from
It, but that they went into the "hilly
country" for their wives. when they
took the young lasses out OF the
wholesome and fresh air they were
healthy, fresh and clear and well;
but when they came out of their ma
tive air into the marshes among the
toys and damp, there they presently
changed their complex1ons, got an
ague or two and seldom held it above
half year or year at most" One
wife was sacrificed. another was pro-
cured; and so the process went on.
Defoe is careful to state that this
merry 1nformer "fbbed a little"-at
least. concerning his own wives; but
he declares that the general statement
Is perfectly true.

LEAVENED BREAD
Has Been Mans Constant Mainstay
From Time Immemorial.

Has Been Mans Constant Mainstay
From Time Immemorial.
Some writer has said 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 flour 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,
Il has remained for the makers Of Yeast
Foam to supply yeast with all the true
leevening powers minus the properties that
produce sour, "runny" or soggy bread. This
ID the yeast that took the first grand prize
At the St. Louis Exposition, and revolution.
ICES the bread making in every home where
it is used because much better bread can be
made with it from any -four.
Yeast Foam is purely vegetable, being
made Of the best malt, corn, hops and other
healthful ingredients. The factory 10 also
the cleanest and best equipped in the world.
This yeast is the only kind that preserves
In the bread all the delicious flavor and
nutritive value of the wheat. The bread
made with it is always sweet and wholesome
and stays moist until used. Forty loaves of
bread can be made from one Sc package.
The makers of Yeast Foam are giving out
new book called 'Good Bread How to
Make It," This little book, invaluable in
its way, has twenty.six illustrations in colors,
and tells how to make all kinds of bread
biscuits, buns and rolls, as well as contain.
ing other recipes which will be found in
valuable in the home. The way of prepar-
ing the different recipes is very clear and
comprehensive. The book will be sent free

That Moseley commission Of Eng

its most amazing find in the United

meet nation of groveling material
lists: it left, forced, against its WILL
to believe us a nation of idealists with
disdain of money that would scan
dalize the average European.
The fact is that our reputation as
ferocious and sordid dolar-hUnters
was given us by superficial and shall
low observers chiefly foreign persons
who came over to loot us and re-
turned home shorn. Our energetic
enthusiasm for business is not and
never has been sordid. It is rooted
in two American passions, both ideal
istic-love of the game and love Of
distinction. Money-getting has meant
exciting and interesting occupation,
the most exciting and most interest
ing open to most of US; it has also
meant the journey along the easiest
avenue to Importance and therefore
to distinction.
There is no place in the world
where crowds wouldn't assemble to

nowhere else in the world would there
be so little sordidness or so much

The Folly of Betting.

Lord Brampton, better known as Sir
Henry Hawkins, the great English
criminal lawyer, Judge and sportsman,
in his "reminiscences, in telling Of what
cured him of betting, relates that Harry
Hill, one OF the characters" of latter
sails, gave him this piece Of advice as
a youth.
"Mr. Hawkins, see you come here
pretty regularly on Sunday afternoons,
but l advise you not to speculate
among us, for if you do we shall beat
you. We know our business better
than you do, and you'll get nothing out
of us any more than we should get out
Of you If we were able to dabble in
your law, for you know that business
better than we do"
