BREAD HAS NUMEROUS USES
Very Much More Than the Ordinary
"Staff of Life" is That Pro-
duced in Siberia.

No homemade bread in the world
can vie either in indigestibility or use
fulness with the small ringed bread
of Siberia, probably the most extraor-
binary bread In the whole world
When the Russian engineering par
ties were constructing the Siberian
railroad this white ringed bread was
their chief food. AS its name implies.
It is made in the shape of ring. 1t
is cooked without salt or yeast and
Is first steamed and then lightly baked
to expel the moisture. 1t is eaten and
used in a wonderful variety of ways.
During the intensely cold winter
months it is soaked in hot tallow for
a few moments and then eaten with
soup or dipped in tea and swallowed.
This tallow bread is considered to be
one of the most heat-producing foods
in existence.
A curious use to which it is put is
as a lamp or stove. Half dozen or
eight holes are bored in the "tallow
ring bread" and wax vestas are placed
In them and lighted. This bread stove
will burn slowly for about an hour,
giving out sufficient heat to boil the
necessary water for tea or coffee for
half dozen people.
During the day. when time hangs
heavily, the Siberian peasants play
quoits with their ringed bread, the
same breads appearing in the soup
at the evening meal.

as eight different kites, each of these
