A Cincinnatian who recently visited England tells about a queer charity he noticed there. In the little village of Broughton-in-Furness is a small baker's shop, over the door of â– vrhieh is the following inscription: "One piece of bread, to be eaten on the premises, given to anyone passing through Broughton direct until ten p. m."
