RASCALS IN BUSINESS.
Wicked Devices to Rob the People and ISe-
stroy Their Health.

Wicked Devices to Rob the People and iSe-
stroy Their Health.
In a country like this, where butter
and cheese-making may be prosecuted
SO extensively that even the poorest man
may have bountiful supply of these
dairy products ON his table. it is an in
famous crime to put hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of pretended but
ter and cheese on the market. Besides
the millions of pounds Of grease now dis
posed of in the name of butter, aconsid-
cradle business has grown up in the
manufacture of cheese which is not
cheese, but which is made to look, and
taste something like it, and can be sold
good deal cheaper than the genuine
article, but which is dear at any price.
These wretched devices to roo the peo-
pie and destroy their health are also
blow at legitimate industry, calling for
the most vigorous action on the part of
the Legislature, and yet in almost all
the States where anything like cOrrec-
tive law-making has been attempted
disgraceful failure has been the result.
The number of men who are turning
their attention to these and other vii
famous cOunterfeiting operations is in
creasing so rapidly that it may well be
asked if American smartness is not 80
far perverted that it prefers occupation
in knavish pursuits to any legitimate
calling. When people become 80 dis
honest as to direct their energies into
channels commonly reserved for the
swindler. when the same zeal would
bring quite as satisfactory returns if dis
played in legitimate enterprises, it is
time for Government to lay its hand on
them.
Food adulteration has assumed such
proportions in this country, where food
should always be cheap and bOuntiful,
that unless something shall be done to
check the evil. honest producers will
suffer materially and the public health
will be seriously undermined. KnOwl-
edge of chemistry and compromising
which runs in such channels is y species
of smartness which 40 nation can toler-
ate with safety. ii one man is to be
permitted to manufacture pretended
butter, another to make pretended
cheese. another to sell pretended coffee
and spices. and another to deal in pre-
tended syrups or sugars, then let every
body ADOPT the thief motto as his own
and swindle and steal unreservedly. II
it is worth while to make one man hon.
est by law it is equally important to
make his neighbor honest in the same
way.-Chicago Tribune.

Suggestions Relative to its Eakir:-whits
and Dark Bread.
Primarily, the object of baking is to
so change the dough as to make it pala-
table as food, and 80 that it will keep for
a reasonable time. its preserving quail
ties depending on the dryness. to great
extent. 1t is by the expansion of the
gas, produced by the fermentation, that
the porosity Of the bread is secured, in
creasing its digestibility. The ferment-
i've process in the dough is arrested by
the baking, since this cannot proceed
after the heat is above 195 degrees Fab.
That this gas may not escape before it
has done its work, it is desirable to have
a sufficient heat to harden the crust, that
the loaf may be expanded to the desira-
bic extent. The sOlidity and firmness
of this crust aids in retaining the form
of the loaf, 40 that it may not '.fall'' and
become less porous, or ''soggy." 1t is
also true that this heat acts on the starch,
effecting an important change in its d.
gestibility. at the same time increasing
its sweetness. In illustration of this, we
may remember the special sweetness Of
the crusts, in our childhood. when
thoroughly chewed-a part Of which re-
suited from the action of the saliva ON
this starch. And here 1 may remark
that the sweetest of the fermented bread
is made by baking little early, or while
the fermentation is passing through the
first step, or in the dextrine and sugar
stage. instead of waiting till the alco-
hOlic stage begins and proceeds towards
the putrefactiOn. Thorough baking also
produces certain essential oils, increas-
ing the palatableness. on the same prin-
ciple that parched corn. roasted coffee
and various similar articles, are i'm
proved by the action of heat. To this J
may add important changes in the albu-
men of the grain-the cOagulation d
vegetable albumen does not affect it ne
it does that of animal Origin-and the
fact that the starch is rendered still more
soluble. more readily separating its par
ticles, and of course becoming more di-
gestible.
A quick and hot oven is indispensable.
