Two japanese sailors jumped
from a Japanese vessel Monday
night near the midnight hour as
it was passing st. Johns on its
voyage outward. and attempted
to swim to shore. The older of
the two, being the best swim

about 20 years, was discovered
by Rupert Stevens at the st. |

Japanese consul at Portland was

USING BREAD CRUMBS
COOKING ECONOMY WELL WoRTH
NEEDING.
Odd Pieces Should Always BE Saved
and Made Use Of I'm One Way or
Another--Sone Ways Of En-
pIoying Them.

Waste I'm the kitchen amounts al
most to sin In these days when the
price OF food is high and money is
scarce I'M most households. Yet waste
goes On every day In the average
kitchen--waste that could very easily
be curtailed If the housewife used
economical methods. A good many
home cooks honestly believe that they
are practicing the most rigid economy
In their homes, when all the time odd
pieces Of bread, left-overs of meat,
vegetables and sweets are thrown
away, regardless OF the fact that they
could be used again.
Perhaps more waste takes place
with bread than with any other one
staple in the kitchen. Every bit of
bread should be saved and made use
OF in one way or another This rule
need not conjure up dreary vista OF
stale crust mnnching, however. The
housewives toast must still be crisp
and toothsome, her afternoon tea
slices as fresh and thin as ever; but
1t is in the use of unused scraps Of
bread, stale toast, ends of leaves,
crusts cut from bread and toast, that
the housekeeper can show her eco
nomical skill. All these scraps--the
waits and strays OF the bread jar
should be looked over every morning
and assigned definite duties.
The days needs will first be dealt
WITH the crumbs or croutons required
sorted out and put to one side. Every
unwanted scrap should then be cut
into fairly uniform squares, placed I'm
q baking dish and baked carefully i'm
q slow oven to a delicate golden
brown shade. Care should be taken
to carry out these instructions to the
letter. The crumbs must be baked
carefully and In slow oven IL one
wishes to have them I'm any condition
fit for use. Too often has the house
wife thrust her crumbs into q hot
oven, forgotten them for a few min
utes, then pulled them out only to
find a black mass of charred re-
mains of what once was q dish Of
bread crumbs. It is wise idea to
leave the oven door ajar; In this way
the first sign of burning liz detected.
To test the proper baking OF these
leftover pieces of bread. break one
OF the thickest pieces; IL 1t snaps
crisply, the bread is ready to De taken
from the even. With q rolling pin
and baking board the bread can easily
be crushed into fine crumbs and may
be sifted afterward IL uniform fine
ness is desired. Some busy cooks put
the baked crusts through a mincing
machine with good results. The
bread should be reduced to crumbs
the moment It is baked. for II left ~
Ing about the moisture in the air will
be absorbed and the crispness Ia lost.
Many cooks enjoy the sensation of
crunching their golden crumbs.
Vinions Of brown coated outlets, gold
en- croquettes and savory tishballs
float before their eyes during the op-
GRAFTON. for the crumbs can be used
Tor all these purposes and many more
besides. -
