NC SOU Inree hundred bushels of ounces

According to DR.. Dio Lewis, the
habit Of chewing tobacco is very easily
got rid Of The first day person would
get along very well, and would hardly
miss the stimulant The second day the
mouth would be dry, the throat parched,
the memory confused, and the person
would hardly know what to do because of
restlessness and Q strong craving for some
thing. Go then and take good sweat,
or, what Is better, Turkish bath. The
third and fourth day do the same. By
that time all desire for tobacco would be
gone.
If you wish to bake your bread or
biscuit without dry, hard crust, you can
do 30 very readily. Just before placing
the bread in the oven, rub its surface with
butter or lard. This will close the pores,
preventing the escape of the gas which is
produced by the yeast, and the escape OF
the steam which Is produced by the mOis-
ture of the heated loaf. Bread thus baked
will be almost crustless. Indeed, so long
as the moisture Is confined 1t will be diff
cult burning the loaf to any great depth.
The large vacuities In the bread will be
less numerous, though, as the whole, 1t
will be more porous and therefore lighter.
