FURTHER NOTES ON BREAD MAX
ING.-Janet, OF Harrisburg, Penn,
takes exception to certain ideas on this
subject which have had currency
through the medium of the "House-
keepers Club" Janet, who speaks as
one with authority, thinks the repor-
ter of the discussions of the associa-
tion named has fallen into mistake,
especially in relation to brewers yeast.
Brewers yeast" says Janet, "rises
in two hours, and bread set at two or
four in the afternoon, and left to rise
all night, would be very sour in the
morning. And then. to use soda to
correct the acidity that she carefully
allowed to generate Is not making the
matter much better. Soda ought TO be
used very little by housekeeper who
regards the health Of her husband and
children, as we'll as herown. 1t certain
ly should never enter into bread at all.
1t is bad enough to have yeast in il.
The time is coming, l apprehend,
when we shall make bread without e.
ven this ingredient" In continuation
of this discourse, Janet proceeds pleas
antly and forcibly as follows:
'Flour in bread has a delicious
sweetness that nothing should destroy.
sit has been said of republics that
they may rise to certain height of
national prosperity, and then must as
assuredly decline. This we deny with
regard to republics, but 1t is certainly
true as to the staff of life.
'There is point at which the sweet
ness has departed, even before the
sourness begins. The great art is to
arrest the fermentation before it reach
es this point"

Insolent or hanghty words, even to

Never interrupt person when he is
speaking; wait till he is done, and

Churlishness will render any man
disagreeable, while good humor will
