If you want to add extra nourish ment to your menus or to give in expensive energy to your family, then the formula is bread—or rolls! They contain carbohydrates, some (at and milk and eggs. Bread can be used lavishly in many interesting ways. A fruited coffee ring for breakfast can mean the difference between a well begun day or a dull, prodding one. And think of the difference between fresh, moist bread in sandwiches for lunch and dry, stale bread. First of all, there’s this scarlet topped and crystal-glazed quick cof fee cake to start the day right. Or, if you prefer, it will do nicely for dessert, thank you! Cranberry Coffee Ring.

On gas, electric or oil ranges, the oven temperature should read from 380 to 400 de grees. Pans (if more than one loaf is baked at a time) should not stand too dose together, so that heat may circulate freely around them. After about 10 minutes of baking, the temperature should be reduced to about 350 degrees and maintained until the loaves are done. Medium-sized loaves re quire 45 to 50 minutes’ baking time, while large loaves need an hour or longer. If there is no oven thermometer handy, the temperature may be tested as follows: Spread Vi tea spoon flour on an inverted baking tin in a layer Vi inch thick and place in the oven. At 400 degrees, the flour will become light brown in about 5 minutes. If it darkens more quickly than that, allow the oven to cool before placing bread in to bake.

Bake 10-12 minutes in a hot (425-degree) oven. Shaping Rolls. The latest in dough tricks is this: after the first rising, shape finger strips of dough 8-12 inches long and wrap around a clean clothespin. Proceed to let rise again until light and bake as rolls. After baking re move clothespin. Fill hot or cold with any desired sandwich filling. Or, proceed in the same manner but wrap finger strips of dough around a frankfurter, dainty or large, hearty size. These make fine snacks for either an evening or children’* party. Released by Wettern Newapaper Union. THE HOME JOURNAL.

From the time the fur reaches one and a half inches until it is ready for shearing at three to four inches in length, combing and brushing are periodic jobs. This big bunny is getting his last groom ing before being clipped. Mrs. Messier cuts the fur with an ordinary scissors. This clipped angora (above) ruefully contemplates the fluffy pile that was his coat. In about three months, however, it will be grown out again, thick and long as ever.

Of the 250,000 persons in the United States who are presently blind, it is estimated that the sight of 5 to 7 per cent has been lost through opaque corneas, and that the vision of approximately 10,000 of those so affected might be restored if healthy corneal tissue were avail able for the corneal graft operation. It is the purpose of the eye bank to locate, obtain and have accessible wherever and whenever needed the all-important corneal tissue. This “capital stock” of the eye bank— more precious than gold—may be obtained only from persons whose sight requires the removal of an eye whose comeal tissue is unim paired, or by obtaining the healthy BATTLESHIPS 18 CRUISERS 46 CARRIERS 8 i mlfW** —i - aiAiJii/ BATTLESHIPS 24 CRUISERS 93 CARRIERS 119 | wrAlfai 1 1 nfll ' I BATTLESHIPS 18 CRUISERS 82 CARRIERS 116 Those Fluffy Angora Sweaters Come From Beautiful Bunnies I The vogue of angora sweaters, | hats and mittens has made rabbit i raising quite a prosperous business I of late.

Discov ery of the treasure, valued at about $2,000, climaxed a long and romantic search over a two year period. Snow originally heard rumors of the buried treasure from two Chat ham natives in 1943. One of them was one-legged John Nuskey, who went about his duties as island caretaker on a wooden leg. Six months after Nuskey dis closed the secret, his body was found under a dory on the beach—a tow line tight about his neck. Undeterred, Snow continued the search. He learned that the chest was hidden by a lighthouse keeper known as “King of Calf Island” sometime between 1854 and 1882. The “king” came to Boston in 1854 eyes of persons immediately after death. Inasmuch as the effectiveness and serviceability of the eye bank de pend upon the immediate availabil ity of corneal tissue which must be taken from human eyes, it is neces sary and important to educate both professional and lay groups in co operating to make possible this lat ent procedure. Under guidance of the council, a movement has been launched to pro cure eyes removed from those whose corneal tissue is not affected, and also the eyes of persons of un impaired vision immediately after death. At present, it is possible to preserve corneal tissue for utiliza tion in the delicate graft opera tion for only 72 hours, therefore it is necessary to arrange for the speedy collection and preservation of eyes immediately upon removal. Such a plan is already in limited operation among representative eye hospitals and surgeons in New York and several other cities. by the animals to the same grtunt rolled or pelleted.

She shears her rabbits three mrl four times a year, adults yielding, from 12 to 16 ounces of wool an nually. Average length of wool overi the back and sides is three to four inches. It is fine and silk-like in tex ture and wavy or krinkly in form.' Mrs. Messier spins the wool into yarn herself on a specially builtl spinning wheel. She knits some of it,' into sweaters, hats, mittens, shawls' and such things for her custom trade. l Most of the yarn she sells, however, | and at a fancy price—around $1.75' a half ounce. A complete sweater' of angora wool costs $5O or more. The warmth of angora wool is un surpassed, and it is as light as this tledown. Angora is now being used in combination with sheep’s wool in order to improve the quality at the latter. It played its part in the war, too. It was used in flying suit* for its warmth.

He became keeper of a buglight in Boston harbor and sometime after that buried the money and kept its location until he died in 1082. Snow discovered the old Italian, book which held the key to the, mystery. It was in an abandoned house on an island in the Brewster group. He took the book, printed in to the Boston Public library, where a librarian who is a skilled linguist l decoded the message. It was pricked between the lines on page 101, where Snow had been told it would be found. After that it was easy. The little chest was right where the di rections said it would be.
