plants along the West virginis 4 Pt,sburg
railroad have decided to follow the example
of the Buckhannon Boom Lumber Com
pany, in reducing the wages Of employees 10
to Is per cent commencing next week The
reasons given are the companies inability
10 dispose of their product for cash or its
equivalent and the mpossbili,y Of obtaining
mon to conduct their business on a high
scale Of wages. They say they must either
reduce wages OF shut down their mills. The
reduction effects several thousand men.
The fire in the Pennsylvania co!liery at

some SANITARY ASPECTS or BREAD
MAKING.
ny c,rnrs EnanN. NJ. u.

Health Commissioner, New York City.
II is necessary. il one would under
stsnd the sanitary aspects of bread
making. to fully comprehend the pres
ent theory held by scientists of germs
and the part played 10y them in disease.
The theory OF disease germs is merely
the name given to the knowledge had
Of Those germs by medical men, n knowl-
edge which is the result of innumera-
BILE experiments. Being this, the old
term of "theory" has become mis-
nomer. A germ of disease is plant,
20 small that I do not know how to ex-
press intelligibly to the general reader
its lack of size. When this germ is in
troduced into the blood 1r tissues of
the body, its action appears to he an
alogous to that which takes place when
yeast is added TO dough. II attacks
certain elements of the blood or tissues
and destroys them, at the same time
producing new substance.

produce csfbonic acid gas, and having
done this, disappear. 1ts leavening
strength has been found superior 70
other baking powders, and as far as /
know, IL is the only powder which will
raise large bread perfectly. It's 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 Bnt they
are combined in exact compensating
weights, So that when chemical action
begins between them they practically
disappear, the substance of both bav-
ing been taken mp to form the carbon
ic acid gas. More than this, the
proper method of using the powder
insures the most thorough mixing
with the -four. The proper quantity
being taken, it is mixed with the -four
and stirred around in it, The mix
ture is then Nfted several times and
this insures that in every part of the
-four there shall be few particles of
the powder. The salt and milk or wa
ter being added, the dough is made up
MS quickly rs possible and moulded
into the loaves.
These are placed in the oven and
baked But the very moment the
warmth and moisture attack the mix
ture of cream of tartar and soda, these
two ingre dients chemically combine
and carbonic acid or leavening gas il
evolved. The consequence may be
seen at 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 il.
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 il is less
likely to he contaminated by the germs
that affect the souring process.
II will be strange il the crowds or
visitors to the Worlds Fair do not
greatly increase the number of con-
tagious diseases, which We will have to
treat. Under these circumstances is
it not folly of follies to open II single
channel through which these germs
may reach us? Is il not the part of
wisdom to watch with the greatest care
all that We eat and drink, and to see
that none but the safest and best meth
ods are employed in the preparation
of our food? TO me it seems as
though there could he but one answer
to questions like these.
I have shown the danger of using
the yeast raised bread, and with this l
have shown how that danger may be
avoided. The ounce of prevention
which in this case is neither difficult
nor expensive is certainly worth many
pounds of cure, and the best thing
about it is that it may be relied on al
most absolutely Those who eat bread

period during which the raising pro-
cess goes on, the gain in food and the
gain in the avoidance of the germs in
exceedingly plain.
But while We can easily see the
dangers 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. 1t is apparent
that if We are to substitute any other
system of bread making We must have
one which will give us, first, mechanical
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
chemically, 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
a properly made, pure and wholesome
baking powder in lieu of yeast. Bak-
ing powders are composed of an acid
and an alkali which, if properly com
bined, should when they unite at once
destroy themselves and produce car
bonic acid gas. A good baking pow
der does its work while the loaf is in
the oven, and having done it, disap-
pears.
But care is imperative in selecting
the brand OF baking powder to be GER
tain that it is composed of non-injuri-

China IL Ashamed OF Them.

Yung How Son, a mandarin and an
attendant OF the Imperial Court Of
Pekin, is travelling in this country. In
San Francisco, where he made short
stay, he spoke 10 reporter concerning
the Chinese residents in that city

he said, which has made your people

WAY INTO 1HE YEAST BREAD.
The fermentation produces carbonic
acid gas, and this, having its origin in
every little particle of the starch
which is itself everywhere in the -four,
pushes aside the particles of the dough
to give itself room. This is what is
called raising the bread"
II needs but glance to see that it
is, in its effects on the dough, purely
mechanical. The dough, which was
before a close grained mass, is now
full of little holes, and when cooked
in this condit ion is what we ordinarily
call light. This porous quality of
bread enables the stomach to rapidly
and easily digest it, for the gastric
juices quickly soak into and attack it
from all sides. The fermentation of
the dough, however, uses up "A portion
of the nutrient elements of the loaf.
II it he possible, therefore, to produce
light porous loaf without this de-
struction and without the "kneading'
process, which fills the dough with
germs and filth, and without the long

The success of Il camp is not in pro
