DON'T WASTE OLD
CRuSTS--BARNARD

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 7.-Crusts Of
bread. usually wasted may be used in
many bakery products, DR.. H. +. Bar.
nard, state food and drug commission
or said today. Discussing the subject
he said:
"One Of our most important wastes
ia In the stock Of partly eaten slices
OF bread. hard crusts, heels" OF the
loaf and the left over" biscuits sent
back from the table. Usually these
wastes go to the garbage can. al
though they are every whit as good
food as any part Of the loaf. The
only fault with them is their unap.
peuzing appearance or unsatisfactory
texture. Many careful cooks know
how to make bread crusts into pud'
dings so disguised with eggs and fruit
and favored with pleasant sauces that
they make desirable dessert.
ut is not generally known, however,
that waste bread can be used again
in many bakery products. The care
full baker has no waste. He puts All
hia crusts into an oven like box and
dries its moisture free without burn
ing it or burning the sugar it contains
into caramel. This dry, crisp bread
. then is easily ground in coffee mill
Or food chopper to meal like flour
| which can be used in place OF part
or all Of the flour called for in ginger
bread, cakes, pancakes. biscuits. or in
thickening soups and sauces. This
| finely ground material may be put in
glass jars and tightly closed. In this
form it will keep for several weeks
| without becoming moist.
Every jar filed with meal made
| from bread wastes will take the place
OF an equal quantity OF expensive
| wheat"
