Instead OF TRADE against the stu
pidity or favoritism Of the committee
the artist asked his fellow students
into his studio and invited them to
jump through the canvas. He led the
way by leaplng head first through the
oily flames.
A second unsuccessful effort was a

gerOus If one has GOODNESS of mind and
good gun. Taking everything into
account, it is easier properly to wound

Tending himself against man, armed as
man is nowadays. Besides, the arctic
bear does not recognize man as such

weather a bear five kilometers off or
farther, so the hunter has time to
watch his prey and to prepare his plan
of attack. One can have splendid
hunts on the icebergs as well. Some
times the bear takes to the water to
escape. In this case he is lost. for he
cannot swim as quickly as boat can
follow, and the hunter can kill him al
most without running any risks 1t is

In the bulletin recently issued by the
federal department of agriculture on
bread and breadmaking the old the
DRY about the EMBELLISHMENTS of hot
breads is. at least in part, discredited
so that those who for years have been
foregoing this toothsome delicacy may
in the future eat and be glad
That is, they may eat hot biscuit
and other small crusty breads, but
should be little wary OF hot bread
taken from the middle OF Il large loaf
The reason for this is simple, In
the smaller breads there Is sufficient
"rust. so that the bread is thoroughly
masticated and is kept from forming
into solid mass. which is not easily
digested. If the proportion of crust is
small the soft inner crumb is more
easily compressed into solid mass.
The crustier the better, then. for
small biscuits and rolls. as this neces
states thorough chewing.
