BREAD SHOULD BE COVERED.
Bakeshops Beginning to Protect Loaves
as Soon as Baked.

Undoubtedly the time will come when
all bakeshops will wrap each Loaf OF
bread as soon as it is removed from the
oven, says the Bakers Weekly. This SUBJ
ject has been agitated in Washington,
but has met with some opposition from
those who thought that the wrapping
would impair the palatability and digest
sbility of the bread.
To answer this argument the health
department experimental with various
kinds of papers and discovered that the
effect of the protective covering was to
bfeserve the freshness of the bread,
which was even superior after twenty
four hours. The labels which are now
often affixed directly on the loaves could
Ee used to seal the wrappings.
Some of the bakers argue that this is
not practical for the bakery that turns
but many hundreds of loaves daily, but
accounts of some of the larger bakeries
and restaurants in the east show that
they have already adopted this method OF
wrapping each loaf in paraffin paper as
soon as the bread is removed from the
oven. Some bakeries now wrap the
gluten bread which is sold largely to
the hospitals, but at a higher price than
the ordinary bread, and not made in such
enormous quantities.

Clyde Fitch,s Bad Taste.

Clyde Fitch manicured and was as
careful of his hands as prima donna
Once he amused several rows in a
theater by expressing horror at the
discovery of black smudge from the
program on the tip of finger. He
had his spike-tailed coat decorated
with black braid like gold lace on a
court uniform. He crossed his front
when in full regalia, too, with a heavy
gold watch chain, with big diamonds
stuck between the links Fitch was
notorious for his bad taste. 1t was
told that he crammed his town house
full of junk which he had bought at
fabulous prices for art treasures, and
that finally a friend who knew some
thing about art values cleared out the
place, altered the wall decorations,
gave a harmonious whole, and made
the house look presentable. The
stable of Fitch's country home is full
of near-art objects picked up in
Europe. The playwright was an easy
mark for the picture men and the

A Fearless Woman.

Soliman, the dreaded Turkish sui
tan, in 1921 was going to besiege Bel
grade, the capital of Servia, his most
hostile neighbor. While slowly pro-
ceeding with his military train on the
dusty highroad a woman stopped his
unapproachable majesty. Bitterly she
complained about the soldiers, who.
during her sleep, had carried off her
cattle, the sole fortune she had. 'sYou
must have fallen into most profound
sleep not to have heard the thieves
at their work." said the sultan laugh
ingly. Eyes, I slept well. slept in
confidence that your majesty is watch
ing over the safety OF your people, /"
replied the woman.
This answer, which might have cost
the woman's head, pleased the sultan
because Of the fearless way it was
said. He restored all the cattle stolen
by the soldiers.
