It was the duty of some woman Of
noble birth to distribute the stale
loaves to the peasants, and since
the word lady" meant loaf giver,
it came to be applied to a woman
of refinement.
With such a system it is obvious
that most people ate stale bread
which, while nutritious, was hardly
as palatable as we wish it today.
AS with everything else, we have
speeded up and modernized SUE
bread making until today in add
ton to yeast bread, we have the
whole family of quick breads which
r made IS easily as a batch Of
biscuits and almost as quickly.
Bread has always been looked to
as a valuable source Of nutrition
and these newest breads, when
made with self-rising flour, which
contains calcium and phosphate in
it's l%eavening agent, give us not only
the valuable nutrition derived from
the flour and milk in the leaf, but
in addition add appreciate amounts
of two minerals that r Of vital
need in building strong bones and
teeth.
One of the most popular Of these
breads, particularly with children,
is:
Peanut Butter Bread.
Q c,,ns sa1f.risine * eun peanut
-four butter
II u sugar Y cup milk
Blend the milk and peanut butter
to a thick cream and add to the
mixed flour and sugar. If dough
seems very stiff add a little more
milk. Pour into a creased loaf pan
and bake in a slow oven for 46 to 50
minutes.

"They could not make Sidney
marry her, so they brought &C
ton against him. can't see
how it can do them any good.
Since they can't have a name
for the expected child. they
want to brand it as the child
of a convict"
Problem of Morals
The case presents problem IN
modern morals, FinkelStein de,
clared.
"It resolves itself to this:
"WaS Charlotte Gibson a
member of the present age and
generation or was she as prim,
Victorian, sedate and Obedient
as she claims"
He went on:
"Is it possible for a girl so in
telligent and well read as she to
be SO unintelligent about sexual
matters?"
With this sentiment the de-
fense summation closed, and Dis

began summing up for the State.
He began with a warning that
eff any group of men in Rockland

evil, then the fabric of society is
breaking down and our people are

The world has become a closely

harms another, economically, po.
litically, or socially, the harm
will react eventually like a
boomerang. She said today:
"All important problems to-
day are international. People
do not realize how very COM
plex, how very intimate and
bound together the world really
is. And anybody in any cOun-

For example, he would have

approximately $1,0O0,oO0 for cases.
Other expenditures would involve
equipment, labels. crowns, chem
icals, labelling glue, ice, advertis-
ing, barrels and additional wages.
The farmers, selling barley,
malt, and hops, would benefit,
he asserted. So would the rail-
roads, whose freight shipments
would pick up at once.
He said that y the year be-
fore prohibition a. brewers
shipped $4,000 cars and that
these shipments represented only
20 per cent of the industry. He
estimated the national shipments
by brewers would increase fully
100000 cars.
