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

Health Commissioner New York 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 them IN disease.
The theory of disease germs is merely
the name given to the knowledge had
of those germs by medical men, a
knowledge which is the result of in
Vulnerable experiments Being this,
the old term of theory has become
a misnomer. A germ of disease is a
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 at.
tacks 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-

her children TO eat bread that has not
been thoroughly cooked. The reason
gwen for this recognized unhcalthful
ness has been that the uncoOltcd yeast
dough is very difficult to digest. No
one but physician would be apt to
think of disease germs which have not
been killed during the process of oak
ing as a cause of the sickness follow
ing the use of uncoOked Yeast bread
Yet this result from this cause is more
than proba Bile. | have not the slight
est doubt that could we trace back
some of tho cases of illness which we
meet in our practice we would find
that germs collected by the baker
have found their way into the yeast
bread. that the heat has not bceu suf-
ticient to destroy them, that the I'M
cooked yeast bread has been eaten and
with it the colonies of germs, that they
have found their way into the blood
and that the call for our services which
has followed, has rounded off this Sc.
quencc of events.
| have already pointed out that the
germs of disease are To be found IN the
air and dust. The longer any substance
to be eaten is exposed tc the air, the
greater the chance that germs will be
deposited on 1t. Bread raised with
yeast Is worked down or kneaded
twice before being baked and this pro-
cess may take anywhere from four
hours to ten. 1t has, then, the chance
OF collecting disease germs during this
process of raising and it has two peri

WAY INTO THE YEAST BREAD"
! on, the gain in food and the gain IN the
avoidcncc of the germs is exceedingly
plain.
But while we can easily see the dam
gers which attend the use of yeast it is
certain that the vcSiculating effect
produced by it on the dough is to the
last degree perfect. 1t is apparent
that if we arc to substitute any other
system Of bread making we must have
one which will give us, first, mechani-
cal results equally as good, that will
produce minute bubbles of carbonlC
acid gas throughout the mass OF
dough, Now 1T is m no way difficult
to produce carbOnic acid gas chemical
ly, but when we arc working at bread
we must use such chemicals as are per-
fectly heaIthful Fortunately these
are not nard 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. Bal-
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 powder
does its work while the loaf is in the
oven, and having done it, disappears.
But care is imperative in selecting
the brand of baking powder to be GER
tain that it is composed of non-injuri-
Gus chemicals. Powders containing
alum or those which are compounded
from impure ingredients, or those which
are not combined in proper proportion
or carefully mixed and which will
leave either an acid or an alkall in the
bread, must not be used
1t is well to sound a note of warning
in this direction or the change from
the Objectionable yeast to an impure
baking powder will be a case of Jump
ing from the frying pan into the fire.
The best baking powder mad Is, as
shown by analysis, the Royal" IL
contains absolutely nothing but cream
of tartar and soda, refined TO a chem
ical parity. which when combined I'M
der the influence of heat and moisture
produce carbonic acid gas, and having
done this, disappear. Its leavening
strength has been found superior to
other baking powders, and as far as |
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 fermcnt 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 i'll exact Compcnsatiug
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, the proper
method of usiGg the powder insures

| flour. The proper quantity being
| taken, it is mixed with the flour and
stirred around in it. The mixture Is
| then sittcd several times and this in
sures that IN every part of the flour
there shall be "a few PARTICLES of the
| powder. The salt aud milk or water
being added, the dough is made up as
| 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
| turr of cream of tartar and soda, these
two ingredients chemically com bine
| and carbonic acid or leavcning gas is
| evolved. The consequence may be
seen at a 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 rails
ing 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 il could sour This
involves the fact that the bread so made
will keep longer, as il is less likely Ia
