way gruesome.
The picture takes one on a tour of
the whole Italian battle line from the
highest snow-capped Alps adjoining
Switzerland to the blue waters OF the
Adriatic. There is no branch of Ital-

ment that is not wildly shown.
The customary news and comedy

Keep the bread in the ice box
lis the recommendation of the
food administration.
With the arrival of summer
heat the question of keeping the
bread in it's best possible state
arises. 1t is of special interest
this year because of the use of
the substitute cereals and the
necessity of preventing any pos
sible waste through bread drying
out, or through it's spelling in
moist warm air.
Wrap the loaf or any unused
portion in the waxed paper it
reached you in or in any other
clean waxed paper and place it in
your ice box. This is the best
place to keep it in hot weather
and it will remain in fine fresh
condition longer than when kept
in the warm air. Careful wrap
pings will prevent it's coming in
contact with moisture or alb
sorbing odors from other foods in
the box.
