POPULARITY
 CONTINUES RISING

The rise of the yeast cake from the obscure shelf of the bakers pantry to all corcles of society marks a change of fortune only equaled in the oil mar kets or in fiction.
 The yeast cake, which for centuries mas been regarded as one of the most humble of household necessities. has suddenly become one of the most pop- uiar commodities on the market
 The passing Of the strict prohibition laws soon marked the yeast cakes up- ward trend to fame. As has been known for years, yeast cakes can be used in the making of home brew. but the practice had not become pop1lar until of late years. This indoor snort however, is not the real reason for de- mand of the cake.
 Eating the cake has become a popu Tar pastime. Why people wish to eat it. grocery men are divided in their opin- ion Some say that it reduces weight. others that it beautifies the complex. Ion, and still others tha tit is a gen, eral tonic for building up the blood. They are united, though, on the fact that the demand has about trebled that of last year.
