The Bread that Brings
 Satisfaction

is the kind that ought to be eaten in every family. It can be had at our bakery, because the greatest possible care is taken with the bak- ing of it, with the selection of the flour and the yeast, with the mixing and knead- ing---with every operation until the finished loaves are produced. That is why our bread is so pure, so health fUl, so appetizing.

BLACK HAND GRIMES.

The astonishing statement comes
from Chicago that since the beginning
Of the present year there have been
eighteen murders committed in that
city by Black Hand agencies and that
there have been scores of stabbings
which have not resulted fatally, and
that more than one hundred bomb
explosions have aided in this cam;
pR;gn Of terror. If these terrorizlng
methods have as is believed, resulted
in compelling the law.abiding and in,
dustrious Italian element of Chicago
to surrender 100000 to the murder.
GUS thugs, then, indeed, is this criml.
nal organization working to prosper.
Gus purpose in at least one American
city. 1t is astonishing that the Chi.
cago police force cannot bring a
greater number Of the perpetrators to
justice.
How much a terminal organization
can operate in a community as large
even as Chicago without leaving trails

mystery For one thing, in explana.

stitutes a sort of world to itself. II

seems, was attempted in organizing
