MR. LOAF O'BREAD S PAMPERED PET John Dough’s Cuitured Child Is Social Favorite—Always Gets Warm Welcome. ELECTRICITY ATTENDS HIM By A. R. GROH. Mr. Loaf ’O'Bread travels stylishly nowadays from Doughtown to Bread- ville in his “clectric.” My, my, yes. And Omaha has the largest electric oven in the world. It is in the plant of the U. P. Steam Baking company, Thirtieth and Evans streets, a big concern that has been baking here in ever-increasing quan- tities since its organization in 1868. The company's numerous other ovens are heated, some by anthracite coal and others by superheated steam. The electric oven was put m as an experiment and is giving wonderful satisfaction. P. F. Petersen, president of the company, showed me the electric oven, Outwardly it looks like the others, except that it ,has eighteen electric switches on the front wall. They are just like your electric light switch. They control the heat at the front, middle and back of each of the four compartments of the oven. The heat can be made “low,” “medium” or “high” in any part of the oven by means of these switches. Doughty Soldiers. Here comes a regiment of pans of dough, all :hining bright, There are 720 in the regiment and they are des- tined_to be 5-cent loaves. Into the nice clean compartments of the oven they troop. The interior is lighted by electricity. There they bask in 470 to 500 degrees of perfectly-ra- diated electric heat, for about half an hour. The skilled eye of the baker can tell just when they are done right. Then out they come, crisp-crusted, delicately-browned, perfectly-baked loaves with a most delicious aroma that makes your mouth water and makes you wish for butter and a lit- tle currant jelly and a cup o’ mocha.

According to report, if the little fellow is placed on the throne, Venizelos, former premier of Greece, will be made regent. :Appeal of “Sandy” Brings Money In To Help Widows! The luxury of traveling in an “elec- tric” certainly agrees with our friend, Mr. Loaf O'Bread. Thus has the staff of human life kept race with the human life of which it is the staff. In the early days of civilization the bread dough was merely put in the hot ashes of the fire and covered- up. It game out pretty well caked with aghes. But people weren’t particular in those days. The Dutch Way. Then came the Dutch oken, built out-of-doors. - You kept a’ big ayo0 fire going in it for several houfs"till the bricks ‘were very hot; then you pulled out the ashes and' put-in the bread. Next came ovens heated by a wood fire underneath;, which are still in use by many bakers.' Then came ovens heated by hard coal and then those heated by superheated steam. And now the electric. \ “This electric oven,” said Mr. Pe- tersen, “has the advantage of heat- ing up quickly. A heat of 470 to 500 degrees is required to bake bread perfectly. The electric oven will get up this temperature in about an hour and a ‘half. A coal or steam oven takes about five hours, if you once let it get gold. The electric oven radiates its heat perfectly and uniformly, which is very important. There is no bother with ashes or soot, It-is.so clean you could operate it in your parlor.” Rine Wants Many Changes in Charter City Attorney Rine is getting up an appetite for his Christmas dinner by working on a batch of Omaha city charter amendments to be handed to the Douglas county delegation for in- troduction in the legislature next month. It is proposed to amend that sec- tion of the charter which limits street improvement districts to one street, by extending the city’s authority to include intersecting streets. Provi- sion will be made to remove the max- imum of $50,000 in the case of open- ing or widening a street without re- ferring to vote of the people, the case in point being the proposed widening of Twenty-fourth street. In the proposed charter amend- ments the City Planning commission will be given wider authority. It is probable that the health commis- sioner will be given more specific jurisdiction over medical inspection of educational institutions of the city, the public and parochal schools being particularly in the minds of the city officials.

In2 Months HEALED BY CUTICURA SOAP AND OINTMENT —_— ‘‘My little daughter ten years old was troubled with eczema, The firstappear- ance of the breaking out was in the form «of a rough red rash which seemed to itch and burn so that she could not keep from scratching it. It took the form of hard dry crusts later. It was very irritating. Sometimes her clothing irritated so she could not rest very well. The trouble lasted about two years before using Cu- ticura Soap and Ointment. I used three large-sized cakes of Cuticura Soap and four boxes of Cuticura Ointment, and it took about two months to heal the trouble.” (Signed) Mrs. A. Foote, Pal- myra, Wis., Jan. 18, 1916.
