being added, the dough is made up as
quickly as possible and moulded into

These are placed in the oven and
baked. But the very moment the

two ingredients chemically combine
and carbonic acid or leavening gas IS
evolved. The consequence may be
seen at a glance, the bread is raised
during the time it is baking in the
oven, and this is the most perfect OF
all conceivable methods of raising it.
Here, then. there is no chance for
germs of disease to get into the dough
and thence into the stomach, more
than that the bread is necessarily as
sweet as possible. there having been
no time during which it could sour.
This involves the fact that the bread
so made will keep longer, as it is less

that affect the souring process.

process, which fills the dough with
germs and filth, and without the long
period during which the raising process
goes on, the gain in food and the gain
in the avoidance of the germs is ex-
ceedingly plain.
But while we can easily see the dam
gers which attend the use of yeast it is
certain that the vesiculating effect
produced by it on the dough is to the
last degree perfect. BY this mean
that every particle of gluten produces
its little bubble of gas and that there
fore the bread is properly raised that
is, it is raised everywhere. 1t is APP
parent that if we are to substitute any
other system of bread making we must
have one which will give us, first, me-
chanical results equally as good, that
is, that will produce minute bubbles OF
carbonic acid gas throughout the mass
of dough. Now it is in no way diff
cult to produce carbonic acid gas chem
| ically, but when we are working at
bread we must use such chemicals as
are perfectly healthful. Fortunately
these are not hard to find.
The evils which attend the yeast
made bread are obviated by the use OF
i properly made, pure and wholesome
baking powder in lieu of yeast. Bal'
ing powders are composed of an acid

and an alkali which, il properly COM
bined, should when they unite at once
DESTROY themselves and produce car
bonic acid gas. A good baking powder
does its work while the loaf is in the
oven, and having done it, disappears
But care is imperative in selecting
the brand of baking powder to be GER
tain that it is composed of non-injuri-
Gus chemicals. Powders containing
alum or those which are COM
pounded from impure ingredients,
or those which are not COM
bined in proper proportion or care
fully mixed and which will leave either
an acid or an alkali in the bread, must
not be used.
1t is well to sound note of warning
in this direction or the change from
the Objectionable yeast to an impure
baking powder will be case of jump
ing from the frying pan into the fire.
The best baking powder made is, as
shown by analysis, the Royal" 1t
contains absolutely nothing but cream
of tartar and soda, refined to chem
ical purity, which when combined un-
der the influence of heat and moisture
produce carbonic acid gas, and having
done this, disappear. Its leavening
strength has been found superior to
other baking powders, and as far as
know, it is the only powder which will
raise large bread perfectly. Its use
avoids the long period during which
the yeast made dough must stand in
order that the starch may ferment and
there is also no kneading necessary.
The two materials used in the Royal
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless even when eaten. But they
are combined in exact compromising
weights, so that when chemical actor
begins between them they practically
disappear, the substance of both hav

They make ticking sound by stand

to be a warning of death.
Entomologists have succeeded in re-

the ordinary system of musical nota'

the actual pitch, which is usually sew

SO highly pitched that they cannot be

Injustice of Democrats.

The democrats are attempting to
minimize the Importance of the work
performed by Uncle Jerry Rusk in try
ing to introduce American corn into
Europe by pointing out that the home
consumption is growing so rapidly that
it is a mere waste of time to endeavor
to obtain new markets for either
wheat, corn or meat products. On the
strength of this theory further appro-
priations for the meat inspection sery-
ice and that of promoting corn exports
are to be opposed. The Chronicle is
disposed to admit that in the very near
future the question of finding a market
for our surplus food products will have
disappeared, but we hardly think il
fair to censure Uncle Jerry for his mis-
take, if he really made one, for the
democrats have never tired during the
past ten or fifteen years representing
that the prosperity of the United States
is wholly dependent on its ability tc
sell wheat and other products to the
foreigner. In common with other pro-
tectionists we have always believed
that there would be more profit TO the
American farmer producing wheat
etc, when he would no longer be re
uuired TO look for foreign market
and we are sincerely glad to see the
American free traders come AROUND
to our way of thinking.-San Francis
co Chronicle.

On Sept. 81, 1892, General Karl Fried
rich Muller, of the Hanoverian army,
died at Hanover in his ninety-seventh
year. The deceased general was present
on the 10th, 18th and 18th of October,
1913, at the famous Battle of the Ma
tions," an engagement that cost Ma
poleon $4,000 men, 300 cannon and 600
standards.
Karl Friedrich Muller was present at
Quatre Bras on the 10Th and at Water
loo on the 18th of June, 1915. After the
victory he marched with his battery of
artillery to Paris and remained in the
French capital during the whole period
Of occupation by the allied armies. Karl
Muller, who began his military career at
fifteen, was never wounded and rose to
tho rank of general in the Hanoverian
service.
He retired on pension not long be-
fore the overthrow of his sovereign, with
whose misfortunes he sympathized, and
to whose cause he remained strongly at
tached. On Sept. 80, in presence Of a
vast concourse Of people, this distin-
guished man was buried with full mill
tary honors, and the identical colors
carried by the brave Hanoverians at
Waterloo were unfurled around his
grave.-Notes and Queries.

Pure Narcotic Death.

Under chloroform, as under all anas-
thetic gases and vapors. there is a mode
of death which may be called the final
or natural. 1t need never be produced,
and never could be except under the
most unskillful management, and it is a
long time in its progress. When death
does occur in this manner it is by the
slow extinction of the natural animal
zymosis, and is illustrated, as to method,
perfectly by the simple experiment of
gradually extinguishing a candle in a
confined space by introducing vapor of
chloroform into the air that fills the
space.
1t can be illustrated also by the ex-
pertinent of stopping ordinary fermenta-
tion by the presence of chloroform, and
even by the simpler process of using
chloroform vapor as a preservative of
animal tissues from decomposition. ALI

the clothing for the night.
Many ideas are prevalent in regard TO
what should be worn at the time when
one ordinarily prepares for that repose
which Is 10 give energy for the following
day. One person has an opinion that a
certain form of night robe and bed
covering of particular construction or
character are the proper things for
health and for comfort. Ordinarily
these convictions of thought are not
worth a serions consideration, A little
common sense goes great way and car
ries with it nearly every thing that sug-
gests proper hahiliment for the hours
Of sleeping.
In the first place there is the body gar
ment proper, and this is from purely
sanitary standpoint best exemplihed in
the pajamas. Pajamas cover both body
and limbs and furnish all necessary
warmth and comfort. They are loose
fitting and thoroughly comfortable, and
so very easily adjusted that any one can
put them on the body with that facility
with which an ordinary night shirt is
placed. Women who may be averse Ia
adopting clothes which may outwardly
appear manlike may find in health a
goal well worth contesting, and in COW
ering themselves with that style of gar
ment which is thoroughly sensible.
The composition of the nightgown is q
matter of taste, Canton flannel, linen
and woolen goods stand at the head Of
the list; after these come the silks. One,
however, which deserves special atten-
ton and which is equally suited for both
sexes is the real china silk. This last is
the best, but cannot be procured at
prices within ordinary range of purse
If it can be bought it will give not only
necessary protection, but comfort
able and an enduring garment.
The matter of bed clothing is another
thing deserving of thought, comprising
that same relation to the body which
the outer clothing should hold. A few
simple rules should cover the entire
ground, and they are comprised in four
homely precepts: Use hair or husk
mattress. cover this mattress with
blanket, cover the blanket with sheet,
put sheet. blankets and counterpane,

ways bear in mind that a lowering of
