SCRIMMENGER VARIATIONS — Scrimshaw, Skrymsher, Skrimshire. RACTAL ORIGIN — Anglo-Nor- man. SOURCE—An occupation. You might not think that there was ny connection between this group f family names and our words scrimmage’ and “skirmish,” which, incidentally, are also the same. And even though vou did you wouldn't have a clear idea about it unless you knew exactly what position the “skirmisher” of medleval | { England held. Today we speak of skirmishers as | the troops who are sent out to scout and annoy the enemy, forming a fringe of protection for the maln body of troops. But the skirmisher of the middle ages, “Eskyrmessur,” “Eskermeser” or ;kirnu\om, as bis title was va- riously spelled, was the veteran man- atarms who trained the garrison in the use of arms, and specifically the use of the sword, for the anclent French word ‘“eskirmir” meant to fence. The original meaning of the word serimmage, which now indicates a rough-and-tumble fight, or is used as football phraseology, was a hand- to-hand encounter between two horsemen, as in the josting and ! tournaments of those days.

This seal is your guarantee of quality in bread. When you see it on a bread wrap- per, you can feel sure that the loaf inside has been made of the very best ingredients obtainable; that it has been mixed, raised, and baked with the greatest care and skill.

And Rice’s bread is fresh always be- cause it is baked and delivered twice a day. Whether you market in the morning or in the afternoon, you are always sure of getting newly-baked loaves. 1t takes a chemist with a full laboratory equipment to detect just the variations in the flour that mean all the difference be- tfeen a hearty, wholesome, nourishing loaf, and a loaf poor in nourishment, flavor, and keeping quality.
