fore close-grsined mass, is now full
OF little holes, and when cooked In this
condition is what We ordinarily call
light. This porous ssality Of the 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 portion OF the nu-
TRENT elements OF the loaf. II it be
possible, therefore, to produce light
porous loaf without this destruction
and without the "kneading" process,
which fills the dough with germs and
filth, and without the long period dur
ing which the raising process goes on,
the gain in food and the gain in the
avoidance ef the germs is exceedingly
plain.
But while we can easily see the dan
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. It Is apparent
that If we are to substitute any other
system OF bread making we must have
one which will give ps. first, mechan-
cal results equally as good, that is, that
will produce minute bubbles of car
bonic acid gas throughout the mass Of
dough. Now it is in no way difficult to
produce carbonic acid gas chemically,
but when we are working at bread we
must use such chemicals as are per-
fectly healthful. Fortunately these

SOME SANITARY ASPECTS OF
BREAD-MAkiNG.
BY CYRUS EDSoN, M, d.

Health Commissioner. New York City.1
1t is necessary, if one would under
stand the sanitary aspects of bread
making, to fully comprehend the pres
ent theory held by scientists of germs
and the part played by them in disease.
The theory of disease germs Is merely
the name given to the knowledge had
of those germs by medical men,
knowledge which is the result of innu-
merable experiments. Being this, the
old term Of q theory" has become
misnomer. A germ of disease is
plant SO small that do not know how
to express intelligibly to the general
reader its lack of size. When this
germ is introduced into the blood or
tissues of the body, its action appears
to be analogous to that which takes
place when yeast is added to dough. 1t
attacks certain elements of the blood
or tissues, and destroys them, at the
same time producing new substances.
But the germs of the greater part of
the germ diseases, that is. of the infec-
tious and contagious diseases, will de-
velop or increase in number without
being in the body of human being,
provided always you give them the
proper conditions. These conditions
are to be found in dough which is be-

Numerous fine specimens of petrified

cations will be instituted to discover

factions are found is on the west side
of the Missouri River. some distance
southwest of town. So far there have
been found the petritied remains of
mastodon, besides the bones Of numer-
ous other animals. These bones are
now on exhibition at Chamberlain, and
are attracting unusual attention. The
party that found them will make an
other trip in the near future, when fur
ther important discoveries are expect
ed. Some time ago, resident of

are not hard to find.
The evils which attend the yeast-made
bread are obviated by the use OF o
properly made, pure and wholesome
baking powder in lieu Of yeast. Bak-
ing powders are composed OF IN acid
and an alkali, which, II properly COM
bined, should when they unite at once
destroy themselves and produce car
bonic acid as. A good baking powder
does its work while the loaf is in the
oven, and, having do1.o it, disappears.
But care is imperative in selecting
the brand OF baking powder to be cer-
tain that 1t Is composed of non-in-
furious chemicals. Powders contain
ing alum or those which are COM
pounded from impure ingredients, or
those which are not combined in prop
er proportion or carefully mixed and
which will leave either an acid or an
alkan in the bread. must not be used.
1t is well to sound q note of warning
in this direction, or the change from
the Objectionable yeast to an inn
pure baking powder will be case of
jumping from the frying pan into the
fire.
The best baking powder made Is, as
shown by analysis, the Royal" It
contains absolutely nothing but cream
of tartar and soda, refined to chem
ical purity, which when combined
under the influence Of heat and moist
ure produce carbonic acid gas, and
having done this, disappear. Its leav-
ening strength has been found supe-
rior to other baking powders, and as
far as I 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 fer
ment, 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 compensating
weights, so that when chemical action
begins between them they practically
disappear, the substance OF both hav-
ing been taken up to form the carbonic
acid gas. More than this, tho proper
method Of using the powder insures
the most thorough mixing with the
flour. The proper quantity being
taken, 1t is mixed with the -four and
stirred around in it. The mixture is
then sifted several times, and this in
sures that in every part OF the flour
there shalt be a few particles OF the
powder. The salt and milk or water
being added, the dough is made up as
quickly as possible, and nodded into
the loavcs.
These are placed in the oven and
baked. But the very moment the
warmth and moisture attack the mix

The temperature during the week

was about the average. The amount
of rainfall was considerably below the
average: showers being reported from
only three counties, Hughes, Lawrence
and Pennington.
Over most of the state the harvest of
wheat and oats has progressed under
favorable conditions, and reports indi
cate that the wheat berry, although
the heads i'll many counties are short,
is much better than was expected and
will rate high.
Rain is much needed for flax, late
