‘Few ‘Housewives Know It Will
Make “Light” Bread.
Can Be Utilized In Any Proportion Up
to 25 Per Cent in Combination
With Wheat Flour, Bay
Government Experts.
It may not be generally known to the
; housewife that cornmeal lends itself
to the making of “light” bread in com-
bination with wheat flour. It cannot,
of course, replace wheat flour entirely,
but may be used in any proportion up
to 25 per cent of the total flour re-
lonf of bread. Although its volume
may be somewhat smaller and its tex-
ture somewhat poorer than if made
from all-wheat flour, such a loaf will
be light and spongy, with a rich brown
crust, wholesome and very palatable.
Two methods for wheat-and-corn
bread have been formulated and test-
ed by H. L. Wessling, assistant chemist
in the bureau of chemistry, United
States department of ugriculture. Ac-
cording method, the raw meal
is employed directly in preparing the
dough and no extra time or labor is re-
quired in making the bread this way.
to the method,
menl is partially cooked before intro-
ducing it the dough. Whi this
does entail a slight amount addi
tional time and labor, the is a
loaf of better quality, which re-
pays the extra effort expended.
The first method calls for the
the following
four loaves:
Two and one-quarter
two and one-quarter scant
sifted bread flour,
Three-gquarters of a pound (or
and two-thirds cupfuls) cornmeal.

————
You may look for longer service, better per-
formance and lower up-keep bills from your
Saxon than from any other car of like price.
And you will not be disappointed.
i
If there was any doubt that Saxon cars are the
best in their respective divisions it has long
since disappeared.
And the proof of this you will find, a thousand-
fold over, in the records of Saxon owners—
and in the opinion of motor-car buyers in
general. Saxon cars have definitely estab-
lished their superiority in every phase of
motor car performance.
And just as surely and decisively as they have
proved themselves abler acting cars, have they
proved themselves cheaper cars to keep up.
To build cars of such quality and such value
clearly reflects the strength and soundness
and ability of the Saxon organization.
