A pound of bread, scientists
tell us, furnishes as much energy
as a pound or more of lean meat
and two pounds of lean fish. And
since half the food we eat is used
for energy, it is easy to see what
marvellously inexpensive food
you have in a crisp golden brown
loaf of Rice's Bread. Of course
no one would think of entirely
substituting bread for meat but
it is interesting to figure the cost
of a pound of steak or chops as
against a loaf of Rice's Bread
which gives the same energy fuel.
Rice's famous Split Top Loaf
is rich in both the fuel and build
ing materials the body constantly
needs. 1t is made with pure fresh
milk, double-strength yeast, deli
cate vegetable shortening, and
protein-high -four. Careful rising
and baking draws out all the
subtle essences which give deli
cious flavor and aroma to Rice's
Bread. 1t is so light and spongy
that almost every particle eaten
of the crisp, brown nutritious
loaf is used by the body.
Combined with a small amount
of meat or cheese and green
vegetable, Rice's Bread will give
child or grown-up a perfectly
balanced meal. The delicious

READY FOR LUNCHES
-RICE'S S Ices

A first aid to appetizing lunch
boxes is a loaf of Rice's Slices.
The snowy, brown-crusted slices,
with their good, wheaty taste,
are every one of exactly the same
size and evenness. Cut by ma
chinery, they have to be uniform.
No crumbly, lop-sided sandwiches
if you use Rice's Slices! Very
few people can cut bread straight
in hurry, it's especially diff
cult. So always have these even,
delicious slices on hand to make
lunches a joy to the hungry.
Rice's Slices are wonderful for
toast. They fit in any toaster. No
burned toast because one side of
the slice is thinner than the other!
And they keep fresh. Just tuck
the waxed wrapper around the
cardboard container after taking
the slices out.

FASHION FLASHES

it is so long that it trails the

Planning Christmas Gifts

Easy enough to put some
thing of yourself into the gift;
some loving thoughtfulnesS to
far outweigh the actual none
tary value of the article and
make it a treasured thing. The
gift selected careleSsly-the
coldly impersonal gift, the
hopelessly conventional gift
these might better not be Of
fered at all; a greeting card
bearing sincere expressions Of
good will would mean more.
Nearly all givers suppose they
are planning to please those to
whom they give; yet all too
many fail in this-without ever
suSpecting failure-because they
choose gifts which they, them
selves would like.
A little sincere thought is the
remedy for unsuccessful Christ
mas giving as well as for an
efficaciouS Christmas shopping.
And the time to think is
NOW.

KEEPING BREAD AT IT'S BEST

On coming back Monday, her loaf
of Rice's sis just as fresh as
though it had just been bought"
Rice's Bread keeps fresh and
sweet because it is made from
-four carefully selected to hold
the moisture in the center of the
loaf. That is why users of Rice's
say it stays fresh longer than
any bread they know.
NEVER let crumbs or broken
pieces of bread accumulate in
your breadbox. Always gather
up crusts and broken pieces and
put them Immediately into a pan
in the oven and when dry, run
through the food chopper. Keep
these nutty Rice's crumbs in a
paper bag or ventilated jar, to
add flavor to many other foods.

"'Makes the Best Toast Have Ever Tasted"

GOlden-brown, hot, crisp, crun-
chy! That is the kind of toast you
can have every morning if you
choose your bread carefully.
Every slice of Rice's Bread
browns evenly to a picture-like
texture that tempts even a capri
cious early morning appetite. The
slow baking gives a fine, even tex
ture to the slice. There are none
of those gaping holes in Rice's
Bread that allow butter or jam
to leak Unexpectedly and discon-
certingly through.
The full, delicious flavor and
aroma tells you that Rice's is
made with fresh, rich milk. The
slow, even baking of the famous
Split Top Loaf makes a thorough
ly wholesome and digestible loaf.
Notice the way Rice's always re-
tains its moisture inside, and its
crustiness outside. Even the last
heel end of the loaf is appetizing,
delicious.

Bread is best kept in a bread
box with wire shelves, to allow
the air to circulate freely around
each loaf. The box should be
scalded with boiling water once
a week, wiped very dry and
summed thoroughly.
Many housewives prefer to
leave the waxed wrapper on each
loaf, re-wrapping it after slices
have been taken off. If loaf is
not all to be used Immediately,
cut the loaf at the center, instead
of at the end, and take slices off
each side of the middle. Then
press the two pieces together and
wrap in the waxed paper. One OF
Rice's customers writes thatwhen
she goes away for the weekend
she gets Rice's Bread on Frid+y.

It doesn't make any difference

PUZZLED"
Your letter is rather vague,
my dear, in that it does not
state how much interest, if any,
the young man next door takes
in you. But, until he seeks you
out and tells you he loves you, it
will be wise and safe for you to
assume that he just likes you, or
is politely Indifferent.
Love should be founded on
friendship. In time, if you and
he are naturally congenial,
wholesome friendship may grow
up between you, provided you do
not frighten him away by senti-
mentality. Then let love take
care of itself-do not worry
about it, but enjoy the compan-
ionship!
