ONCE A TERM OF RErROACH
"Grass Widow" Used by Teutons to
Indicate an Unmarried Mother
Other Possible Origins.

The term grass widow" very like
~ originated from the wording of a
canon law of the eleventh century.
which ordained that a widow should
remain under Gods protection and
grace" for d full year after her hus-
bands death, and then marry if she
pleased. Such women were widows
Of grace" and in later parish registers
they are described as 'grasse wild
owes" In the time of Sir Thomas
More the term grass widow" was
applied to unmarried mothers. and i'm
this sense it was used in most of the
Teutonc languages. In modern times
the term lost that reproach, and has
been applied to the wives of men long
absent from home. Another explana-
ton of its origin is found here in the
United States. During the days OF
gold rushes it was common for men
to board out their wives until they had
made enough TO start home in the
West. and this. in the picturesque
speech of the time, was termed put
ting ones widow out to grass"

The first few weeks after American

any wheat bread whatever, whether

However, now, since it is becoming
once more a common part of every

interested in knowing just how her
bread would compare with other wom-
ems. Many of the housewives took a
loaf to the county fair this summer,

with no cracks, wrinkles, bulges,

Lightness-10 points.

A SUMMER COLD

A cold in the summer time, as every
body knows, is the hardest kind of a
cold to get rid of. The best and quick
est way is to go to bed and stay there
if you can, with a bottle of "Boschee's
Syrup" handy to insure a good nights
rest, free from coughing, with easy ex-
pectoration in the morning.
But If you can't stay in bed you must
keep out Of draughts, avoid sudden

and take occasional doses of Boschee's
Syrup, which you can buy at any store
where medicine is sold, safe and eff
cient remedy, made in America for more

THREE-WAY BRUSH Is
BIG HOUSEHOLD HELP
Can Be Placed on Porch to Re-
move Mud From Shoes.
Device Is inexpensive and Will Save
Considerable Work for Housewife
Foot Scraper is Quite
Valuable Adjunct.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrculture}
If the male members of the Family
will place a three-way brush conyen-
fently on the porch and use it to clean
the mud from their shoes before they
enter the house, they can save consid-
cradle work for the housewife. This
mud remover is inexpensive and can
be made at home from three scrub
bling or cleaning brushes, or pur-
chased from most supply houses. It
consists of three foot-brooms which are
arranged. one at the bottom and the
other two at the sides, in such way
that the foot can be drawn backward
and forward through the device so
that the dirt and mud will be re-
moved. A strong box of the desired
size. with its ends removed, makes a
good foundation onto the sides OF
which the side brushes and one on me
bottom may be nailed. Obviously no
dimensions which could be given
would be very useful because the size
must suit that of the shoes 10 De
cleaned. Since they are SO easily con-
structed one could be made for the
men and one for the children, the chief
caution being that the side brushes
fhould be close enough together to
cause good friction on the shoe as II
IS drawn between them. Because OF
the friction taking place the device
shou-d be fastened securely TO the
doorstep or other firm foundation. Ii

should be about one-eighth inch, and
its color should be uniform golden
brown, neither dark brown nor pale
nor f1oury. The ideal crust has the
natural bloom of well-baked upper
surface. GloSsiness, due to the use
of egg white, butter, or milk as coat
ing, may be considered desirable in
some circumstances, but is not neces-
sary. The qualities sought are ten
derness, crispness and elasticity. A
hard or tough crust would be graded
low.
Crumb--30 points. (Color, points !;
texture, Is points; moisture and
elasticity, 10 points.)
Color-5 points.
The best wheat bread is white or
creamy, not gray.
Texture--15 points.
The size of the pores should be uni
form, circular, or elongated upwards
rather than transversely. Streaks, I'M
leavened areas, large holes, and crew
ices help to make the texture of loaf
rank low.
Moisture and EIasticity-1O points.
The crumb of the loaf should be
soft and springy, not sticky, wet, sog-
gy, or stringy, nor yet dry, harsh, or
crumbly. When the cut surface is
pressed lightly, it should dent easily
and spring back to the level instead
of refusing to be moved or remaining
permanently dented.
FIavor-30 points.
The ideal flavor is the slight "nutty"
taste of the well-baked wheat grain
Sailing should be sufficient, yet not es-
pecially prominent. Any flavor, such
as the rank taste of poor yeast or of
rancid fat, would make it necessary
for judge to subtract nearly the en-
tire 30 points given to flavor.
Keeping. QuaIities-10 points. 4
Does the loaf keep well for three
days when carefully treated, or does
it mold, soften, become stringy in the
center, darken, or develop bad flavor
or odor?
