Another Senator was on his feet with the suggestion that he thought the only sensible thing to do was to tear down the goddess and replace it with the statue of the elder Rothschild.

If allowances in such cases are gratuities, we wonder what a woman must do to earn money in her home!

Some one arose with the question as to whether there was any one who really knew what the statue was sup- pose to represent. ‘There were several who thought they knew, but were not certain. One Senator then suggested that since it was a bronze statue why not rebronze it. Wasn't that the simplest way out? ‘Thirty voted yes. Twent; no. And 37 were in such a puzzled state of mind that they refused to vote. The resolution was passed and the $5,000 made avalable. But the money never was used.

For more than a generation Washington women have loved Rice’s full-flavored, fine- textured bread, that falls in such smooth even slices of creamy richness. There'is a fresh appe- tizing something about its tender crust and firm moist crumb that makes you say “homemade.” You recognize that old-time “baking day” aroma the minute you push back the carefully sealed wrapper from the golden loaf. It stays fresh and moist for days, too, and never loses that delicious “homey” quality. That is because Rice’s Bread is made with fresh, rich milk and extra shortening, and is baked slowly clear through in the famous split-top loaf. You'll find it makes marvelous toast and sandwiches—and gives all the familiar bread dishes a new, richer flavor.

They boasted at home of their experience and said no single coffee grown could match its rich and mellow flavor. And they were right. For the flavor of Maxwell House Coffee is not a le coffee flavor. It is a blend of many choice coffees withan in- terestinghumanstorybehind it. A fancier of coffee in the Old %, South—anexpertwellacquainted with all the choicest kinds and grades of coffee—determined to create a better coffee flavor. For years he toiled with the blending of many different cof- fees together, until at last he produced a new and different coffee which combined in one de- licious drink the diverse “winy,” syrupy, mild and piquant flavors of the finest coffees grown. ‘This man, known to his friends as*the Old Colonel,” has lived to see the flavor he created become the favorite of the whole United States. ForMaxwell House Coffee, named for the hotel where it won jts first fame, today enjoys the widest distribution of any pack- aged coffee in America; it is pleasing more critical coffee drinkers than any other coffee ever offered for sale. Your first trial of Maxwell House will show you why this is s0. You will want your family and your guests to enjoy regularly this exceptionally good coffee. Wherever you live, your grocer has Maxwell House Coffee. It comes sealed in a blue-wrapped tin which preserves all its rich, mellow fragrance and flavor. *Good to the last drop *° MAXWELL HoOoUSE COFFEE © 1929, P. Co., Ine. 3
