Ancient Egyptian Bread

In the Metropolitan museum of
art in New York city, there is a
basket containing the oldest bread
in the world. This basket of bread
was discovered in the tomb of an
Egyptian woman by the name of
Ra-Mose and her husband, Hat
Nufer, who lived about $500 years
ago. This ancient bread is well pre-
served today. One loaf has hard,
glossy crust. Another seems to be
a kind of fruitcake which may have
been the wedding cake of this mar
ried pair. According to the religious
beliefs of ancient Egypt, the soul
after death required nourishment,
just as in life. Thus, bread was
often placed in the tombs.

shipping off Britain's east coast and
British authorities asserted that last

losses were the heaviest of the war.
Details Meager
Details of today's plane raids were

the coasts Of Northumberland, Lin

though the British said they sank
at least four German submarines and
perhaps two others within six days

S6,077 tons of British and neutral
shipping lost and asserted that the

mine as the leading weapon of naval
destruction.
