being added, the dough is made mp as
quickly as possible and moulded into
the loaves.
These are placed in the wen 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 Oh leavening gas is
evolved. The consequence may be
seen at 4 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 raising it.
Here. then. there is no chance fot
germs of disease to get into the dough
and thence into the stomach, more
than that the bread is necessarily rs
sweet as possible. there having been
no time during which it could sour.
This involves the fact that the bread
so made will keep longer, Us 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 great
IL increase the number of contagious
disease, which we will have to treat.
Under these circumstances is it not
folly of follies to open a single chan
mel through which these germs may
reach us? is it not the part Of wisdom
to watch with the greatest cart all
that we cat and drink, and to see that
none but the safest and best methods
are employed in the preparation of our
food? To me it seems as though there
could be but one answer to questions
like these.

A friend of mine has not only carried
water into the kitchen in pipes, but
with his own hands has made q connec-
ton for the kitchen stove, which heats
an abundance of water for all house
hold purposes without lifting and with
out any danger Of explosions from

A box holding 4 to 90 gallons Of water
must be mounted near the sink and
lined with copper Or tin; or a strong
~iron-bound keg will do. In either case
1t must not have a tight-iitting lid, or
an explosion of confined steam would
result. To fill the tank, a short piece
of pipe or trough is placed so that water
will run from the cold-water faucet into

must be worked a long time. This
is an exceedingly Objectionable
thing from the standpoint of a physi-
clan, and for the reasons that the
germs of disease which are in the air
and dust and IN 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 I'M
dergo before they perform any kind of
surgical operation. Any person who
has We kneaded dough understands
the way in which the dough cleans the
hands. In other words, this means
that any germs which may have found
q 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 one there, to find all
the conditions necessary for subdi-
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,
UNDERGONE or doughty bread is a form
which every a and woman has seen.
1t is a belief as old as the hills that
UNDERGONE bread is unhealthful. This
reputation has been earned for it by
the experience of countless genera
tons, and no careful mother will wish
her children to eat bread that has not
been thoroughly cooked. The reason
given for this recognized unhealthful-
ness has been that the uncooked yeast
dough is very difficult to digest. and
this reason has value. No one but a
physician would be apt to think of dis
ease germs which have not been killed
during the process of baking as n
cause of the sickness following the
use of uncooked yeast bread. Yet this
result from this cause is more than
probable. i have not the slightest
doubt that could we trace back some
of the 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 been sufficient to
destroy them. that the uncooked 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 services which
followed, has rounded of this sequence

How to Wash Sheep Tags.

First sort the tags to get the cleanesi
ones by themselves. If you get two or
more grades you will save time in
washing. Take a tub of soft water, as
warm as you can work in. Put one
grade of the tags in, stir them up, don't
leave them soak to exceed ten minutes.
Wiring them out A common cloth
wringer is the best Get another tub
of warm water to rinse the tags
in. This water will do to soak
the second tub of tags in. Place
the tags in the sun to dry and
stir them up once or twice a day. Be
careful not to let it rain on them. In
this way you will have nice white wool
from your tags If they soak too long
