Bread in Sheets.

Women of the Moki Indians in the
deserts of New Mexico make bread
in sheets no thicker than sheet OF
paper. The corn, Of which the bread
is made, is ground between two heavy
stones until it becomes very fine. Then
it is mixed with water and very thin
batter is spread on a hot stone over
the fire, where it is allowed to bake
for considerable time.
When one side is baked the other
is turned. Sheet after sheet is baked
in this manner. No salt is used in the
batter, and the bread has a sweetish
taste 1t is usually blue, taking the
color of the corn from which it is
made-Christian Science Monitor.
