choly way. 1T suppose I'm

truth is that / cant marry

Bread with the Homemade" Taste
Gives You Greatest Value
Economical Fuel for
the Human Engine

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 q pound of steak or chops as
against q 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. It is so light and spongy
that almost every particle eaten
Of the crisp, brown nutritious
loaf is used by the body.
Combined with small amount
of meat or cheese and a green
vegetable, Rice's Bread will give
child or grown-up a perfectly
balanced meal. The delicious
"home-baked" taste and fra

READY FOR LUNCHES
-RICE'S SLICES

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 hare to be uniform.
No erumbly, lop-sided sandwiches
if you use Rice's Slices! Very
few people can cut bread straight
in a 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.

KEEPING BREAD AT IT'S BEST

Bread is best kept in 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 a 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 that when
she goes away for the weekend
she gets Rice's Bread on Friday.

feels soft and fresh in its attrac-
tive wrapper and it has a healthy,
golden color. And because of its
fine, even texture, it slices easily,
without crumbling.
"Rice's Bread toasts beautiful
ly and its fresh, wheaty taste
makes you ask for more than one
slice. It is uniform day in and
day out and it's more economical
than homemade bread!"

to which soda has just been
added. Beat well and pour into
an oiled mould, filling two-thirds

Rice's Bread keeps fresh and

the moisture in the center of the

MISSISSIPPI GOES
 OVER FLOOD STAGE
Warnings Are IssuM-LeYee
 Breaks at Kennett, Mo.

St. Louis, May 20 R-For the first time this year government flood warnings were issued yesterday here and at other points along the lower Mississippi river. It was the fourth time this spring, however, that the river had gone over flood stage at St. Louis and a stage of 36 feet was forecast for Wednesday, six feet above the flood mark. The river was more than 32 feet early today.
 Slight danger was anticipated in the lower valley, government fore casters said, as streams below St. Louis were not as high as two years ago when the last disastrous flood waters of the Mississippi swept over the countryside.
 In Missouri. the Osage, on a ram- page, was reported at standstlll with bottomlands in the vicinity Of Osceola, Warsaw and Linn Creek in undated.
 The St. Francis, in southeast Mis- souri, was still within it's levees. al- though the river was reported within few inches of the top. A patrol of 500 men was busy on the 15-mi!,. front near kennett, Mo, piling sand bags and stopping lEe numerous "seeps' which developed frequently.

Council' man Samuel Sablotsky, presiding of- ficer during the discussion. did not realize the tie had resulted. but had the impression that it had been re- ferred back and he declared the amendment adopted. This had the effect of breaking the tie vote and refer the report back. but Sablotsk, failed to put the motion as amended to a vote. It is on this ground tha' the illegality is claimed.

BELMONT STAKES
 NEXT TURF EVENT
Clyde Yan Duseu Will Not Race
 in the East This Year

Louisville, Ky, May 20 (UP)-The eyes of the racing world turned to- day to the Belmont stakes as the next great test of the three-year- olds.
 Clyde Van Dusen. which splashed to great victory in the Kentucky derby on Saturday. probably will not race in the east this year. Because he is . gelding, the H. P. Gardner horse will not be eligible for the Belmont. Instead, he is expected to start in the American classic at Chi cago along with Panchio, which beat out Blue Larkspur for third money in the derby.
 Almost all the packers of Blue Larkspur had an alibi today for the failure of the favorite to come through the mud to victory. Col. E. R. Bradley, owner. apparently was convinced Blue Larkspur did not like the sloppy going. Most of the packers were inclined to agree that if the track had been dry, the fav- crate of the Bluegrass section would have come under the wire a winner. In that there was no attempt to take away any glory from Clyde Van Dusen nor from Pon McAtee, who gave the Gardner gelding the ride of lifetime. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that Clyde Van Dusen has 8 stout heart for any race and he shows to especial ad- ! vantage in the mud, where his short, choppy stride gives him the footing necessary for clean getaway and enables him to hold winning pace. Naishapur. second in the derby, probably will be at the post in the 1 Belmont as will Dr. Freeland, Freak ness victor. Other likely three-year- olds who may settle many an argu. ment at the Belmont are Jack High, Twink and Blue Larkspur.
 So renowned was Clyde Van Dus- ems reputation as mudder that be- fore post time Saturday he was Sec
 ond to Blue Larkspur in the bet ting. With the rain falling steadily 1 lis packers dent down heavily until they had him paying $s straight al

 The break occurred at spot :oii- sidered the weakest in the levee stretch where several hundred men had been working desperately for several days to avert a crevasse. No large town is in the path of the flood and it was believed that all resi- dents of the area subject to inunda- ton had moved to safety.
 Hundreds of otker men were Lol. stering two other threatened river breaks in the Mississippi valley.
 The Arkansas and White rivers in Arkansas were reported falling after serious rises of the last few days, but downpours in the southwestern section of the ata.e threatened to inundate many thousands of acres along the Red river, which reached flood stage at Fulton and Index late yesterday.

Shanghai, May 20 R>-The breach between General Chiang Kaishek. so-called president of the Ranking central government. and Farshal Feng Yu-Hsiang. Christian gencr- d." widened today with open charges by Feng that Chiang was guilty of malfeasance.
 FenE's public statement, an an- swer to Chiang's telegrams in which the Ranking official said he was sure rumors of Feng's disloyalty were false, declared Chiang to be guilty of abuse of power. of misap- propriation of government funds, end derauding the people to enrich himself.
 The majority of Marshal Feng Yu-HsianS's commanders, announc- ed their support of the central China war lord, and asked him 10 take up arms against Chiang Kai- 6hek, who now has been brought face to face with the most formid- able opposition the infant Ranking government has been called upon to down.
 It was reported Feng was con- tinuing to blow up railway bridges end had made the eastern hundred miles of the Lunghai railway im- passable. wrecking the road as far eastward as Sweiteh. Reports in the Sino press that he had blown up the bridge between Picking and Hankow over the Yellow river were doubted here.
 While no word was available to- day from Ranking 1t was known troop movements were going on on q large scale northward from Nan king and Pukow along the Puk0w- Tientsin railway.
