What's Yours?
SOME people will frankly admit that once any _ bread is over a day old, bread and butter loses all its interest for them. So they buy a small quantity of fresh bread each day and any that is left over must be used up in various ways or given to the poultry or the animals. There is no thrifty self-denial about people who indulee them-
selves in this way. In a way they are alcohol-addicts — for it is largely .alcohol which gives new yeast bread its characteristic flavour. Really fresh yeast bread contains about % to % of 1 per cent. of alcohol. That is to say, there is about as much alcohol in 40 21b. loaves as there would bein an average bottle of port wine. This alcohol evapo-
rates, and by the time the bread is a day old the flavour is gone-but the food value of the bread remains and its digestibility is very greatly increased. -/(" Uses for Stale Bread," A.C.E. Talk, 4YA, September 3.)
