WHAT to EAT and WHY

was both quick-acting and pos
sessed good keeping qualities.
Yeast is the most satisfactory
leavening agent for bread and
rolls. Heretofore, only two types
had been available. Fresh, or
compressed yeast, and dried
yeast. Both of these products are
composed Of yeast plants conn
bined with cereal. IN a
Fresh yeast has a higher mois-
ture content, however, and be-
cause of this, spells rapidly.
Hence, it must be purchased fresh,
kept well refrigerated, and used
within few days. Dry yeast
keeps several weeks at room tenn
perature and has, therefore, been
regarded as more practical. Its
great disadvantage has been that
it acts less quickly. owing to the
fact that some of the yeast plants
are destroyed during the drying.
Keeps and Is Quick-Acfing
But nowadays h0memakers can
buy new kind Of yeast. A new,
fast, pure yeast that combines the
keeping qualities OF dry yeast with
speedy action.
This product is dry yeast that
comes in the form of small gram
ules. 1t softens promptly in wa
ter, and is then ready for use.
Moreover, it keeps its strength
and activity for several weeks. SO
that it can be kept on hand at all
times.
Homemakers can bake when
ever it is convenient. And what
delicious bread and rolls they can
make. Such wholesome cOmbina-
lions as prune bread. combining
both white and whole wheat -four
with seeded, uncooked prunes :.
refrigerator rolls, coffee cakes,
raisin bread, wholesome raised
doughnuts, waffles and buckwheat
cakes.
1t cannot be denied that bread
is one of the oldest foods known to
man. But just to prove that even
our most basic foods may. be inn
proved-along comes this revolu-
tionary yeast to provide a leaven-
ing that is more satisfactory than
ever before, perhaps, to home
makers all over the country.

dren.
Breadstuffs are notable for their
energy values and for their ease
of digestion. They contain some
protein and minerals, and under
some circumstances, they may
also carry other significant food
values.
Bread and rolls combine well
with milk, cheese, butter and
meat. They make good eating and
give comfortable feeling of sat
isfaction afterwards. Such simple
combinations as bread and cheese,
or rolls and milk, are highly effec-
tive in satisfying hunger. And
they 60 long way toward meet
ing nutritional requirements.
A Notable Food Team
Nutritionists have a high regard
for the combination of bread and
milk. Breadstuffs are generally
regarded as most economical
source of energy and protein in
the diet. Milk is our most nearly
perfect food. And the proteins OF
milk supplement those found in
the grains of which bread and rolls
are made.
Children especially should con-
sumo some form Of bread, toast,
or well-baked rolls at every meal.
These easily digested foods supply
the fuel values that most active
youngsters require in abundance.
Rolls and bread with well-baked
crust have the additional advan-
tage Of encouraging thorough mas.
tication.
During adolescence, the energy
requirements are especially high.

Wholesale Commodity
Average Is Unchanged

: There was no change in the gen.
eral level of whosesale commodity
prices last week, according to the
price index compiled by the National
Fertilizer Association.
This index in the week ended
March remained at 1928 per cent
Of the 1868 average. For the past
six weeks the index has been either
1877 or 1913. 1t was six years ago
t.ast week, in the week of March 4,
1888, that the index reached its de-
preston low point of 527. The
highest point of the recovery period
was 1873 in July, 1887; the 1888 low
point was 1913.
The trend of industrial commodi-
ties was upward last week, with in
creases taking place in prices of
such raw materials as hides, rubber,
tin, burlap and silk.
The effect of these increases was
cfset, however, by decline in the
food price average, which fell to the
lowest point reached since August
1884, with the decline due largely to
lower quotations for meats.
The farm produce price average
remained unchanged, with a rise in
cotton prices counterbalanced by de-
clining quotations for grains and
livestock.
Upturns occurred in the indexes
representing the prices of textiles,
building materials, fertilizer mate
. rials and miscellaneous commodities.
