DYSPEPSIA TIE TROUBLE.

[ have been very much interested
lately in reading the Household"
IF he farmers wife who wrote the
article on "The Ignorance Of Farm
ers' Wives, will read the story Of
Ananias and Sapphira, his wife, she
may be benefited thereby.
Farmers wives will compare
favora5lY in health and intelligence
with any in our land. Why did she
not give her name and place of resi-
dence? I wager she is confirmed
dyspeptic, and the world and every
thing therin looks dark to her. I
am glad s lie has stirred up the women
nevertheless. There is a buzz in
tn e hive; don't you hear it?
The bread question is a great one,
and is Of vast Importance to us all.
We all know, or ought to know, that
a grain of wheat contains all the
elements, in the same proport ion as
they are In our bodies but when the
-four is bolted. we lose some of them.
Those elements essential for our
bones and teeth are wanting in fine
-four.
A few years ago, through the
opportunities Of a friend, purchased
Graham -four and gem pans. | will
here state that gem pans are small
cast iron cups, joined together,
generally eleven in number, and may
be purchased at hardware stores.
Health reformers think that the
healthiest bread is made by mixing
Graham -four and water together, till
it is rather thicker than for pancakes.
The stove must be very hot. This
is of the greatest importance. if you
want good bread. Having very
hot fire, place the pans on the top of
the stove, and when they are hot,
drop in the mixture let them remain
on the stove until they are baked
some on the bottom; then remove to
the upper part of the oven. The
heat will make them very light.
do not grease the pans, for they will
no stick if hot enough, and greas,
ing only makes smoke in the
room.
I have patted these little brown
nuts as afectionately as [ ever did
..ay nice, light swapping loaves of
former days. I thought I was TAX
ing upon myself great cross when
I first purchased Graham -four. But
I was mistaken "her ways are
ways Of pleasantness, and all her
paths are peace" We all like 1t;
it is no use for me to bake fine flour
any more, it is not eaten cheer
fully.
Sons persons do not succeed we'll
with water gems. Such should try
mixing Withssour milk and soda, in
the same way. or use, baking powd
er; it is not SO healthy in this way,
but preferable to fine -four.
Light bread may be made Of
Graham -four by using sponge, the
same as for fnehour, with the addi-
ZION of a little sweetening. 1t should
not be kneaded down, but baked as
soon as light. | prefer to steam than
brown in the oven. -@ Aa os
Pancakes may me made of Graham

and soda, quite thick, then adding
warm water until it is of the proper

Househould friends! request Pater

You may not feel ike giving up your
