White Bread Fatteninc.

White bread is fattening because we
rarely digest it completely. Starchy
foods are quite unaffected by the gas
trio juices which digest the meats.
Their digestive fermeuts are obtained
chiefly from the saliva Ia the mouth,
which therefore should be thoroughly
mixed with each mOuthful before swal-
lowing. But white bread IL so soft
and lacking In substance that we I'M
consciously swallow 1t long before 1t
has had a fair chance to become suiii-
GENTLY fermentcd with the digestive
saliva. The result is delayed digestion
Of digestion takes place at all, and at
the best the starch Is very apt to be
converted into disfguriDg unwanted
and unhcaltbful fat

necessary for them TO break up their
home here and dispose OF it, much to
the regret Of their many friends IN
Manchester, where both have lived for
many years. w. X. Hard has purchas-
ed the property.
That farm buying has not stopped
since winter set in is evidenced by the
following sales put through by George
+. Lawrence: The old Curtis farm in
Arlington, owned by Gilbert M.
Vaughn and Mrs. Mary Nash, TO NJ. I.
Hutchinson of Kenogami, p. O.; and
the go acre farm on the road from
Dorset to Dandy Four Corners, known
as the old Sykes place, TO Captain
Frank H. Macumber of Wcstport,
Mass. To top off with Mr.. Lawrence
tells us he received on Monday size
able deposit on a 950-acre farm To-
Gated near West Arlington, but on the
Sandgate side of the line. This farm
the company has been advertising ex-
tensively, receiving since December IN
all probability over 1000 inquiries on
il alone. This is rather surprising in
view of the fact that wages around
large places were never better, and
there are more jobs than men to fill
them.

lowing which will be of interest to the
many friends in Manchester of the
partios mentioned. "The home of Mr..
and Mrs. JAS. II. Bonesteel was the

on Christmas day. Their daughter
Helen from Oakland and Alfred Reed

Getting Free Notices.

That eminent self-advertiser, Houdi-
nj, is just summing up the net results
of his purchase of the Bernhardt sta
tue. You may possibly remember that
the statue was presented to Nine
Bernhardt by John Drew, in the name
of the actors of America, and after
wards was discovered not to have been
paid for. The sculptor's wife sent
Bernhardt a bill for it and Bernhardt
promptly responded that she had ac-
cepted 1t as a gift and would send 1t
back rather than pay for it. A most
embarrassing situation ensued and all
the newspapers commented upon it.
Then came Hondini to the fore He
paid the sculptor's wife for the statue
and wrote Nine. Bernhardt begging her
to keep it with his compliments and
forget an Incident which had brought
embarrassment to the door of the
worlds greatest artistic. Houdini has
just finished tabulating the returns
from his press clippings describing his
highly commendable act and linking
his name with Bernhardts have been
received. over half of them were first
page stories. They average 10 lines in
length. Estimating this advertising at
the pure reading matter rate of a dol
lar a line, Houdini calculates that he
has reaped the equivalent of an ex-
penditure of $56,340. The statue cost
him $360.-New York Letter.
