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-
ing raised with yeast. They are
warmth, moisture and the organic
matter of the flour on which the germs.
after certain changes, feed.
It is necessary to remember at this
point that yeast is germ growth, and
when introduced into q mixture OF glu-
cose or starch, in the presence Of
warmth and moisture sets up fer
mentation. If the mixture be starchy
dough the yeast first changes portion
of the starch into glucose and then de-
composes the glucose by changing it
into two new substances, viz, carbonic
acid gas and alcohol.
Now the gluten, which is also a con-
stituent of dough and moist starch,
affords, with the latter, an excellent
indus for the development OF germs of
disease as we'll as for the yeast germs
The germs of cholera, as of typhoid
fever, would, IL introduced into dough,
find very favorable conditions for their
growth.
/ do not wish to "pose" asan alarm
lst, nor am 1 willing TO say there is
very much chance of the germs OF
typhus and of cholera reaching the
stomachs of the people who eat bread
which has been raised with yeast But
have not the slightest cause to doubt
that other diseases have been and will
be carried about in the bread.
[ have met journeymen bakers, suf-
fering from cutaneous diseases, work
ing the dough in the bread trough
with naked hands and arms. l have
no reason to suppose bakers are less
liable to cutaneous diseases than any
other men, and | know, as every house
wife knows, yeast-raised bread must be
worked long time. This is an ex-
ceedingly Objectionable thing from the
standpoint OF physician for the
reason that the germs of disease which
are in the air and dust and on stair
ways and straps in street cars, are
most often collected on the hands.
Any person who has ever kneaded
dough understands the way in which
the dough cleans the hands. This
means that any germs which may have
found lodging place on the hands of
the baker before he makes up his
batch of bread are sure to find their
way into the dough, and once there, to
find all the conditions necessary for
subdivision and growth. This is
equivalent to saying that we must rely
on heat to kill these germs, because it J

avoids the long period during which
the yeast made dough must stand IN
order that tho 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, evep when eaten. But they
are combined in exact compromising
WEIGHTS, SO that when chemical action
begins between them they practically
disappear, the substance Of both hay
ing been taken up to form the carbon
ic acid gas. More than this, tho
proper method of using the powder
insures the most thorough mixing
with the -four. The proper quantity
being taken, it is mixed with the flour
and stirred around in &c. The mix
tire is then sifted 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
rs quickly as 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 ingredients chemically combine
and carbonic acid or leavening gas IS
evolved The consequence may be
seen at glance, the bread Is raised
during the tima 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
50 made will keep longer, as it is less
likely to be contaminated by the germs
that affect the souring process.
1t will be strange if the crowds OF
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 q single
channel through which these germs
may reach us? Is it 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
DDS are employed in the preparation
of our food? To me it seems as
though there could be but one answer
to questions like these.
I have shown the danger of using
the yeast raised bread, AMI 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, AMI thu best thing
about it is that it may be relied on al
most absolutely. Those who eat bread
or biscuits or rolls m .de at homo with
Royal baking powder may be sure they
have absolutely stopped ono channel
through which disease may reach
them.

SOME SANITARY ASPECTS OF BREAD
MAKING.
BY CYRUS EDISON, NJ. d. ,

healtn commissioner, New lork City.
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 themin disease.
The theory of disease germs is merely
the name given to the knowledge had
of those germs by medical men. q knowl-
edge which is the result of innumera-
bic experiments. Being this, the old
term of "theory" has become q mis-
homer. A germ OF disease is plant,
so small that l 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 OF tissues Of
the body, its action appears to be an
alOgous to that which takes place when
yeast is added to dough It attacks
certain elements of the blood or tissues,
and destroys them, at the same tims
producing new substances.

Your white caps were killed and several
wounded. one of whom received bullets in
botn eyes. A few weeks ago Samuel and
William Conrad quarreled with their old
father and killed him. They were at once
arrested. The neighbors were very much
wrought Up over the horrible crime and the
excitement was doubly increased when the
murderers were released on bond.

the Conrads with tbs ayoweI intention OF
hanging the two murderous brothers.

the mob passed by the cOrnfeld the brothers
opened fire.. first with shotguns and then
with pistols. The avengers wero taken by

While the revenue cutter Bear was at
Princes Island, Alaska, last summer one of
the exploring parties found not far from
shore habitation that appeared different
from any on the island.
1t was not so much the shape of the house
or hut or the manner of its construction,
but the way it was decorated at the back.
1t was constructed of the usual material,
mud and old timber, and in front loo ked
exactly like the dozen Of other houses of the
people who live near the Arctic circle. The
roof was overgrown with q crop of grass
struggling for an existence. and out of this
protruded the usual number of poles sur
mounted by old battered tin cans and buck
cts. The fence was kept in the best of
order possible in that dreary corner of the
world, and the owner regularly decorated
the front with the hideous paints Of the
native.
