Colours In Bread

Promised To Fit

Table Decoration Spokane, Wash. Oct, 10-Col- foured bread will be the baker's answer to the current demand for colour.

Austin P. Summers hus beru advised he has been granted a patent on a

colour method to bread to match the decorative scheme of the table.

The colouring may be applied to biscuits mid cake as well. which will have golden-brown crust with nice pastel shulen instead of white or brown.

"John, dear," she cried, "you know you need me now more than ever before. We love each other. That is all that matters. Óh, dear people, help me find my Caliban."

"Caliban" is her pet name for her fifty-year-old thrice- married actor friend. It was announced here last week that they had parted after a quarrel.

Miss Barrie learned that Barry- e was not in the train during the night, and got off at Kansas City, the first stop, to await him.

While she was resting at the hotel Barrymore flew into Kansas City, and then drove in a taxicab to Holliday, a few miles from Kansas.

He and his two bodyguards stopped the Santa Fe Chief with

a red flag.

Barrymore climbed aboard, and the train restarted for Hollywood.
