the needed funds may be derived with which
TO advance its standard to the requirements of
the times in which we live. One of the topics
to be discussed will be Federal Aid" l
am requested by this committee to ask you
to appoint to this convention delegation of
such number as you think best, of your
ablest citizens who take an interest in the
question of popular education, and to advise
inc as TO their names and which of them
signify their purpose TO attend A confcr-
ence on this subject will certainly do good in
drawing to lit public attention, and may
make suggestions that will rebound to the
glory OF our common country. The man.

Something About Brcad-NIakIng

BY the process of bread-making 1t is intended to
convert the nour OF certain grains into u cellular

In order 10 arrive at this end alcoholic fermentation
is resorted to from oden times by Introducing the
same In the dough by means Of brewers yeast.
Thus small part of The hour Is converted into
glucose. which again is transformed into alcohol
and carbonc acid The former Is recognize by
when sufficiently raised. Both gases produce the
raising OF The dough- e., the porous and spongy
appearance.
BY this fermentation the hour not only loses
weight but the bread also attains qualities which
may lnJure the process OF digestion.
Ia order to evade these Inconvenience chemist i,

gases themselves. To the best known belong the
bcarbonate OF soda AMI cream of tartar, certainly
well known 10 all housewives. And with regard
10 most OF the baking powders OF the trade they
are mainly preparatl ms containing these
substances. However, /: cannot be said OF any Of
them that they exert u beneficial influence on the
system, not 10 speak OF tle authorizations, 10 which
most OF them have lately been subjected.
