a light porous loaf without this de.
struction and without the ''kneading'
process, which fills the dough with
germs and filth, and without the long
period drring which the raising pro-
cess goes On, the gain in food and the
gain in the avoidance OF the germs is
exceedingly plain.
But while we can easily see the dan
gers which attend the use of yeast IL is
certain that the vesiculating effect pro-
duced by it on the dough is TO the last

we are working at bread we must use
such chemicals as are perfectly health

find.
The evils which attend the ycast-made
bread are obviated by the use of n prop
erly made, pure and wholesome baking
powder in lieu of yeast. Baking pow
ders are composed OF an acid and an
alltali which, il properly combined,
should when they unite at once destroy

which, according TO the Scientific
american, has added 3 phrase To our
language by giving its name TO the
soil upon which it thrives-often when
nothing else Of vegetation can endure
beside it. To speak Of a reach OF
country as sage brush land" is to pre-
sent 2 picture to the mind OF a man
familiar with the far west. Through
that phrase such a man sees a treeless,
parched plain or bench Of dull. baked
looking earth, dotted with thick
stemmed, dry, flannel-like, dust-cov-
cred shrubs of a greenish, whitish-
brown appearance. These grow as
garden weeds do in the east-a hand
high or n yard or so above ground.
The land which is distinguished by
their presence, in greater or less guam
titles, is that part Of the plains and
Rocky mountain region which receives
the least rainfall. A major part of 1t
was once known as the Great Ameri-
a desert.
The sage brush is known to scient-
lists as Artemisia tridentata. Most
persons who are familiar with it think
of it as an ordinary weed of small size,
and even SO high an authority as the
"Encyclopadla Britannica" refers to 1t
as growing in "treeless valleys and
slopes" 1t will astonish most persons
to know that it sometimes grows to
such proportions as to provide \ sec
ton Of country with trees OF Its own

trunked and comparatively tall trees
instead of mere weeds.
Prot. Elwood Mead. the state engin-
eer Of Wyoming, while exploring tho
northern end of central parts of that
state last summer. came upon a dis
trict where the sage brush thrived
thus gigantically. Many of the sage
trees that he saw were eighteen feet
high, with trunks at least a foot In d.
