BOOSTING BUSINESS.

Bridgeport is the foremost bust
ness boosting city on the map of the
United States. It is fairly seething
with activity and it's prosperity is
doing it's part towards making the
country prosperous. Not a far fetch
ed idea as it may sound when you
analyze the situation, Bridgeport
workers are earning good wages and
can afford to spend a reasonable
amount which keeps money in con-
slant circulation.
More than that they are using their
credit more extensively than ever be-
fore as the incr eased sales of the
Caesar Misch Stores show. They are
using their credit because it is good
business to do so. With it they are
buying the best values obtainable in
wearing apparel. What is more they
can afford to buy this wearing APP
pare1 an outfit at a time rather than
waiting to buy it piecemeal or in
some cases not at all for Cheerful
Credits terms are Non Money Down
and $1.00 a Week.
This live concern at the daylight
corner of Main, Golden Hill and Mid
die streets is doing it's part towards
keeping up the prosperity and the
prosperous appearance of Bridgeport
workers.

SWEET POTATO BREAD

One of the cheapest war breads
possible is sweet potato bread: But
that does not prevent it from being
one of the sweetest substitutes for
wheat bread, says today's bulletin
from the National Emergency Food
Garden Commission, working in CO.
operation with this newspaper to con-
serve the nations food resources.
Here's good recipe for this bread:
cups cooked and mashed sweet
potato.
70 cups sifted wheat flour (more if
flour is soft).
IL cup 1ukewarm water (this will
not be needed if liquid yeast is used)
cake dry or compressed yeast. or
1-2 cup liquid yeast.
1 tablespoon sugar.
tablespoon salt.
tablespoons shortening (if desir-
ed).
All measurements are level full.
Wash thoroughly and boil in their
skins sweet potatoes of medium size.
Cook until they are very tender. Drain,
peel, and mash them while hot, put
ting them through colander to free
the mass from Jumps. Allow the
mashed potato to cool until luke
warm. To this add the salt, the SUI
gar and about one cup of the flour
and mix thoroughly. Next add the
yeast, which has been rubbed smooth
in a cup with four tablespoons of
lukewarm water. Cover and place
the bowl out of the way Of drafts and
lat temperature of from 80 to So de-
grees F. Allow the mixture to rise
for two hours or until very light.
To this sponge, which now will be
found to be quite soft, add the melt
ed shortening and the remainder of
the flour, kneading thoroughly until
a smooth and elastic dough has been
formed The dough must be very stiff,
since boiled potato contains large
amount of water, which causes the
dough to soften as it rises. Do not
add more water to the dough unless
II is absolutely necessary in order to
incorporate all the flour. Set the
dough back to rise again for one hour
Tor until light.
Mold into loaves and place In warm
| ed and creased pans set in warm
place for about one hour or until the
loaves have more than doubled In
size. Bake in moderate oven for
SO to so minutes.

WHAT'S GOING ON in THE WORLD
OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT

at the right moment to relieve the
tenser situations, it grips and holds
the audience, from the rise of the
first curtain until the fall of the last
and sends them away, feeling better
and nob1er for having seen it.
F'lotsam, THE Girl From Out Yon-
der a child of the sea, as she most
POLITICALLY describes herself, ''just a
bit of driftwood,' knowing nothing
but the daily labor Of the coast guard
and the keeping of the light house,
rough and ready in manner and
speech, with only two companions in
the world, her father, Capt. Amos
Barton and swapping turtle to whom
she conf1des all of her little secrets of
joys and sorrows, is a most striking
character and one particularly well
suited to the individuality of Miss

etiquette

For brushing crumbs from the table
before dessert is served. use folded
napkin or silver crumb knife and
tray, never brush.
Eleanor-Your escort at the theatre
should not be expected to take care
of your wraps and your hat. Your
cloak should be laid over the back of
the seat, and your hat you should
hold in Sour lap.
WHEN you go to visit a lady
relative you must not accept an fnvf-
tation from a young man that does
not include her. If the gentleman
does not wish to act as escort to two
young ladies he can probably pro-
vide an escort for your cousin also.
