...Chicago. "I do not know what many a family would have done if it had not been for that refuge from their problems, the 'old maid' in the family. When married women were being turned out of their jobs because they were married, and when fathers and bread winners lost their employment ... it was the salary of the old maid in thousands of homes that kept them going." Next evening in the ballroom was a "famous firsts" dinner in honor of feminine leaders. Principal guest was Montana's Jeannette Rankin, first' woman member...
...esophagus, the same does not hold true for beasts. Of all the mouse autopsies she has performed, about 15,000 were cancerous mice, but only about 25 had intestinal tumors. The difference probably lies in the diet. For long years her mice received the same diet (mostly fresh bread, twice-pasteurized whole milk, timothy hay and bird seed). Thus most of their cancers came from irritations, cage-rubbing, fights, minor infections. This does not disprove her heredity theory, for the cancers occur only in the susceptible animals. Lately she has been working on mice fed diets comparable to the varied...
Under this new plan a radical change in the diet occured. Previously breakfast had consisted of bread and beer, supper, milk instead of beer; and a pound of meat for each man to make a satisfying dinner.

Riots continued well on into the nineteenth century, usually mere potato or bread fights, but always waged with deep grudge and flaring hate of the authorities. History relates that Prescott, the great historian, was partially blinded by a flying piece of stoney-bread; a food which conveniently supplied both the issue of the war and the ammunition. But the meek reception by the students this year of the news that the University, attempting to run its dining halls on a no-profit basis, had inadvertently made a net haul of $40,000 proves that the old-days are indeed gone...
...Secretary. A basic credo of the New Deal is that you can raise the price of raw materials a lot without raising much the cost of the products they go into. The 30? per bu. processing tax on wheat, just effective, was passed on in toto to bread consumers. In Chicago and downstate Illinois, a 1-lb. loaf rose from 5? to 6?. The 24 oz. loaf, price 10?, was reduced to 20 oz. New York City was hit in the breadbasket when a 1? and 2? increase was indicated. North Dakota bakers set the minimum price for a "standard...
