Dr. Edward N. Calisch’s remarkable
work, “The Jew’ in English Literature”,
for some time out of print, is now re
issued and to be bad. It is a pioneer
work, covering a thousand years of
history and graphically depicting the
position of the Jew in English litera
ture, as subject and as object, that is
what he had to say for himself and
what was said about him. Not only are
the familiar figures, such as Barabbas,
Shylock, Fagin, Riah, Isaac of York,
Rebecca, Deronda, etc., fully discussed,
but many others not so well known
are discussed. There is a full review
of all Jewish authors from Ibn Ezra to
Zangwill, together with an exhaustive
list of all authors, Jewish and the non-
Jewish who have written about Jews.
An especially illuminative historical
chapter on Jewish life in England is
preliminary to the discussion itself. The
book has been acclaimed by critics and
reviewers as a most excellent volume,
valuable as reference and readable as
a novel. Dr. Calisch is well known for
his fine literary craftsmanship and the
engaging excellence of his style.

Over a million women
a week choose Merita
over all other Breads
N EVER before has any brand of bread attained
the popuarity with Southern women that Merita has.
The reason is simple. Southern women know good bread
and after comparing the richer flavor and finer, silkier
texture of Merita with other breads, over a million women
in our territory express their preference for Merita every
week.
They know Menta is made of the finest ingredients,
carefully tested in our own laboratories. They know
Merita is wholesome and nutritious, for it is made with
milk, and every woman knows that bread made with milk
is richer in flavor, finer in texture and a better food.
If you have not realized yet that there actually is a better
bread, let your family have
an opportunity to try Merita
*.oday. Order it from your
grocer, who gets it fresh
every day.
