BREAD AS ECONOMICAL FOOD
Would Be Used More Extensively "
Home Baked Variety Was Always
Good, Say Government Experts

If home-baked bread were uniformly
well made, it would be used more ex-
tensively than at present in place OF
more expensive foods, say specialists
in the United States department OF
agriculture, and this would be dis
tinct economy. From the standpoint
Of nutrition it makes very little differ
ence whether breadstuffs are served In
the form Of bread or in the form OF
breakfast cereals, side dishes with
meat, or desserts.
A man engaged in moderate muscu-
lar work can profitably consume about
three-fourths Of pound day Of
breadstuffs in any one Of these forms.
This quantity is the equivalent Of one
pound of baked bread. AS matter
Of fact, however, it is not probable
that in the average family this GUAM
tity is consumed and the deficiency LIS
made up by the use Of more expensive
substances. OF course bread alone is
not sufficient for the maintenance Of
health, but from both an economical
and hygienic point of view should be
used more extensively than it usually
is, declare the experts.

Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree was
more than once placed in a perplex-

Of his cast during his tour through

No less than ten members enlisted,

war hospitals. One humorous Incl

She was not very much interested in
the war prior to her appointment,
but the talk behind the scenes among
the company bore so frequently on
the loss of relatives at the front that
she felt one night impelled to volun-
teer as a nurse, was eventually ac-
copied, and her place had to be filed.

The secret Of Bob Simpsons great

Since our editorial concerning bi-
cycle riding on the sidewalks
appeared a couple of weeks ago. we
have had numerous requests to fol
low it up" and accompanying these
requests have been the citation OF
several instances where people were
painfully injured by juvenile cyclists
Although there are still few young
sters who disregard the ordinance,
the nuisance is quite rapidly
disappearing, and we believe that
if the parents continue in the warn
ings and commands to their children,
as they very evidently have been do
ing recently, there will be no occa-
sion for further complaint.
