HOW HOT CROSS
BUNS ORIGINATED

The custom Of hot cross buns
originated In this manner:
Offerings TO the gods OF SACRED
bread was n ceremonial many an
clent religions had In common.
Sometimes tho bread was made or
honey and fine flour. bat usually
IL was highly spleed and marked
with a symbol.
Cakes OF this Kind were gennr'
ally purchased ai the temple gates.
There Is nothing more curious than
tho persistence OF custom. genera
ton after generation, long after
both the origin and the meaning
have been forgotten. The buying
OF hot cross buns on Good Friday
Is today the survival Of such al
Interesting custom.
Everybody can repeat tho popn-
lar nursery rhyme which begins
"one a penny. two a penny" but
here IL another verse which Is
classic BY reason Of its antiquity
Good Friday comes this month.
the old woman runs
Win one or two penny hot cross
buns,

what's said.

WE USE NOVOCAIN

This is by far the best dental
anaesthetic that has so far been dis
covered. We have it, and can give
you the benefit of it. Most dentai
offices haven't got it, nor can theYo
obtain it on account of the fact THAI
it is imported, and the European war
has interfered with its importation.
Your teeth are a matter of the
greatest importance to you. You {,
ought not to neglect them. Come in
and let our experts give your teeth
a thorough examination. They vii
tell you just what needs to be done
to them to put them into perfect con-
dition, and also just what the cost
will be.
This examination and estimate
won't cost you cent, nor will it put
you under any obligation whatever.
You will probably be surprised to
find how small the cost will be under
our low prices.
One thing is very sure, though, it
will be worth a great deal more to
you than il will cost.
You will always be thankful that,
you made up your mind to hav~
your teeth put into perfect condition
and kept that way.
Come in just as soon as possible!isi

bushes and took them into the house.
And then Mrs. Bunny put down her
Knitting and got out tho corn pepper
and pretty soon tho little red berries
were ready to eat, and after that Billy
Bunny and Dickey Meadow Mouse had
n fine feast. And then pretty soon Mrs.
Bunny got out box OF carrot candy
which Mrs. Cottontail had sent over
that morning. Now, children said
