The craze for marathon dancing has
met with opposition in numerous 10
calities. The fagpole sitting contests
are a freak species. The single OBJ
jective is to outsit ones opponent on
swaying slender pole. The one who sees
the utter absurdity of the performance

wins. In other words, the one with the

Oratorical contests, which have a
vogue, serve useful purpose. 1t is

What Dietinans Say

1t is, without the slightest question, M
the most economical known source
Carbohydrates. AND carbohydrates,
as you already know, are vital to health.
Especially is this 10 with children. Active
work or play rapidly burns up body
tissues. Unless these tissues are replaced,
Carbohydrate Starvation" sets in. List
lessness is what youssee.
Wonder Bread, being rich in carbohy-
drates. combats this condition remarkably.
When digested, it gives off heat in the
form ofenergy exactly as coal gives off heat.
1t helps establish that vital energy reserve"
Thus your child often discovers new
zest for play.

How We Make 1t
To make Wonder Bread we employ match
less chefs. They work in model kitchens.
They are never hurried.
We use specially milled short patent
-four. Only the nutritious heart of the
wheat berry is used. We use double the
usual amount of milk. And we pasteurize
every drop.
These ingredients are extremely costly,
but they give vastly better bread, as any
woman who has tried it will testify. And
so we benefit through tremendous extra
sales.
We employ, also, unique baking
method. Wonder Bread is "slo-
baked This means, as the term
suggests, SIowsr baking and more 4
careful baking. 1t brings you greater
digestibiliy. More delicate favor.
Longer-lasting freshness.

So do, please, as the country's wisest
women are doing and give this new
day bread an immediate trial.
