ing each of which it may gather the
dirt containing the germs from the
bakers hands. As no bread save that
raiseaAesith yeast, goes through this
long process of raising and kneading
SO no bread save that raised with yeast
has SO good a chance of gathering
germs.
What is meant by raising bread is
worth few words. The introduction
of the yeast into the moist dough and
the addition of heat when the pan is
placed near the fire produces an epor-
nous growth of the yeast fungi-the
yeast germ" in other words. These
fungi effect destructive fermentation
of a portion of the starchy matter of
the hour-one of the most valuable
nutrient elements in the flour. The
fermentation produces carbonic acid
gas, and this, having its origin in
every little particle of the starch
which is itself everywhere in the flour,
pushes aside the particles of the dough
to give itself room. This is what is
called raising the bread.
1t needs but glance to see that it
is, in its effects on the dough, purely

An Instance Which Shows Wonderful

sasacity In Two Animals.
A writer in Nature from the Ruskin
museum, Sheffield, records an instance
of sagacity in horses. From the win
dow opposite, he says, have just wit
messed an interesting performance on
the part of two horses. Bordering the
park is strip of land, doomed to be
built upon, but meanwhile lying waste
and used for common pasturage, on
which the horses under notice were
leisurely grazing. A pony in cart.
having been unwisely left by the
owner for a time unattended ON the
grass, suddenly started off, galloping
over the uneven ground at the risk Of
overturning the cart. The two horses,
upon seeing this, Immediately joined
in pursuit with evident zest. My first
supposition, that they were merely
joining in the escapade In frolicsome
spirit, was at once disproved by the
methodical and business-like manner
Of their procedure. They soon reached
the runaway, by this time on the road,
one on one side of the cart and one on
the other; then, by regulating their
pace, they cleverly eontrived to inter
cept his progress by gradually coming
together in advance of him, thus
stopping him Immediately in the tri-
angular corner they formed. Until
the men came up to the poDy's head
they remained standing thus together
quite still; then the two horses, evil
dently satisfied that all was now right,
without any fuss trotted back again
together to their grass.

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.
1t is necessary to remember at this
point that yeast is germ growth, and
when introduced into mixture of glu-
cose or starch, in the presence of
warmth and moisture sets up a fer
mentation. If the mixture be starchy
dough the yeast first changesa 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 con-
stituent of dough and moist starch,
affords, with the latter, an excellent
indus for the development of germs of
disease as well as for the yeast germs.
fever, would, if introduced into dough,
find very favorable conditions for their
growth.
do not wish to "pose" as an alarm
ist, nor am | 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 while I am not afraid that cholera
and typhus will be greatly spread by
yeast-raised bread, l have not the
slightest cause to doubt that other dis
eases 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. I suppose |
need scarcely say this was put a stop
to in very short order. | have no rea-
son to suppose bakers are less liable to
cutaneous diseases than are other
men, and I know, as every house
wife knows, yeast-raised bread
must be worked a long time. This
is an exceedingly Objectionable
thing from the standpoint of physi-
clan, and for the reasons that the
germs of disease which are in the air
and dust and on stairways and straps
in street cars, are most often collected
on the hands. So well do physicians
know this that there is no ablution
practical equal to that which they un-
dergo before they perform any kind of
surgical operation. Any person who
has ever kneaded dough understands
the way in which the dough cleans the
hands. In other words, 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 subdl-
vision and growth. This is equivalent
to saying that we must rely on heat to
kill these germs, because it is almost
certain that they will be there. Now,
underdone or doughy bread is form
which every man and woman has seen.
1t is a belief as old as the hills that
underdone bread is unhealthfuL This
reputation has been earned for IT oy

tions, and no careful mother Will wish
her children to eat bread that has not

In Bad Order.

The wires of the San Antonio
Railway company are in a bad
condition, being down in several
places. This is dangerous to the
passers by. Another man should be
employed to help the lines in re-
pair as their is too much wire up
for one man to take care of and
keep in order. The city council
should draft an ordinance requir-
ing the appointment of enough
linemen to do this work, so as to
insure public safety.

Last night, while one of the
mounted officers was patrOling
Government hill, he heard the
screams Of a man who was evident
ly in deep trouble. He repaired to
the place from where the sound
originated and there found John
Hopkins, negro, lying on the
ground groaning as if he had al
most been killed. Hopkins told
his sad and horrible story as fol-
lows:
1t seems that as he was return
ing to his home on GraysOn street
about IL o'clock, two negroes ran
out from behind a large shed and
stopped him. One of them stepped
behind Hopkins and gave him a
blow over the head with some kind
of club. This lick knocked the
man unconscious and he knew
for several minutes. His
pockets had been searched but
was found, as the man had
but ten cents. The officer made a
investigation of the affair
and endeaVOred to locate the two
but was not success
full. Hopkins is now confined to
his home and is suffering terribly
rom the abuse.

DEAR SIR: In yesterdays issue
of the "LIGHT," | find an item
headed "Church Row." in which
you relate an imaginary occurrence
supposed to have taken place at
our synagogue. In reply beg leave
to state for the benefit of yourself
and people at large, that no such
thing occurred. 1t is strange that
our reporters will not find out
facts, before proceeding to SANDER
whole community of people be-
longing to our congregation. The
row, if row it was, took place four
doors below our place of meeting
on the sidewalk, while our place is
upstairs, therefore it did not occur
at the synagogue. | hope that in
the future you will be more care
full about publishing such articles,
unless you are fully convinced of
the facts. Pray give this as good a
space as you did the other article.
