"Thc appropriation asked for will be
merely nominal. as no counsel fees will

and Justice Robert T. Wagner, Of the

In a letter accepting his appointment
TO the committee, Mr. untermycr
wrote:
1T has occurred to me in this con-
reetion that II the suggestion were
made 20 our judges. who are mostly
men or the highest public spirit, that
for the next two or three years they
open court az 9:30 o'clock and sit
until $3.50 o'clock, with an intormis-
sion of one hour for lunch, the entire
calendars could be cleared within that
time.

quest Il should apply % the judges

still, if we had the rBitish form OF
practice. where the judges decide most

the trial. there would be less occasion

Where to Keep
the Bread
VYyHERE do you keep the
w bread?

WIS., bread DO you Keep the
For years the accepted
method of keeping bread was TO
put it in big stone crock. with
a tight-fitting cover, where it re-
NAMED fresh and sweet Then the
metal bread box came into vogue.
and that is also a satisfactory con-
tainer.
Th real question is. probably:
How do you keep the bread? That
is, the most important thing is to
keep the bread in good condition.
wherever you keep it. Don't let
stale bread accumulate. Don't let
the receptacle for the bread be
come moist and damp. If a bit o.
mould does come on a piece of
bread, destroy it, take all the brea
out and heat it in the oven for five
or ten minutes, and give the bre&d
box an extra scalding and summing.
In very damp warm weather
mould is a serious subject in some
localities. But if you air the bread
box every day, and take out stale
bread as soon as it accumulates,
you need not be troubled with
mould. Only buy or make a small
supply of bread at a time. 1t is
large quantities of bread on hand
that cause much OF the trouble.
There is too much (and the sur
plus begins to mould.
