somE SANITARY ASPECTS OF
BREAD MAKING.
y III 10. y. u.

Health Commissioner New York City.
II Is necessary, If one would under
stand the sanitary aspects of bread
making, to fuilv 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 nedica, men,
knowledge which Is the result of in
Vulnerable experiments. Being this,
the old term of a theory" has become
a misnomer. A germ of disease i a
plant. so small that I do not know
how TO express intclligibly to the gen
eral reader its lack Of size. When this
germ is introduced into the blood
or tissues of the body. its ac-
tion appears to be analogous To that
which takes place when yeast Is added
TO dough. II 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 il. of the infec-
tiOus and contagious diseases, will de-

proper conditions. These conditions

ing raised with Yeast. They are
warmth. moisture and the organic
matter of the flour on which the germs,
after certain changes, feed.
II is necessary to remember at this
point that yeast Is germ growth. and
when introduced into miSture of glu-
cose or starch, in the presence of
warmth and moisture sets up a fer
mentatiOn. If the mixture be a 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 a con
stituent of dough ana moist starch,
affords, with the latter. an excellent

Is, that will produce minute bubbles of
carbOnic acid gas throughout the mass
of dough. Now it is in no way diff
cult To produce carbOnic acid gas chem
icallv, but when we are working at
bread we must use such chemicals as
are perfectly healthful. Fortunately
these are not hard to find.
The evils which attend the yeast
made bread are obviated by the use of

baking powder in lieu of yeast. Bak-

A mans wife often knows more than
he does about great many things. and
while he need not lower himself in her
estimation by admitting her mental
superiority. it is sometimes well for
him TO silently recognize her superior
intelligence, and profit by it. II he IS

his wife, but viii affect great deal Of
wisdom of his own. even though he
knows that he has none. 1t neyer in

The Judgment of the averafs woman
regarding the disbursement of money
is often better than that of the average
man, particularly when it comes to
spending money for domestic purposes
1t takes = shrewd tradesman to

to work off ST ale goods on the average
man; and the most conceited man might
as well acknowledge frankly that his
wife can attend TO most of the affairs
of her own household better than he
can attend To- them for her. Women
very often have the most acute percep-
ton regarding business affairs. If men
would only talk business" with their
wives, instead of taking il for granted
that women don't understand any

probably be fewer failures Many a
successful business man owes his sue

partner whose nome does not appear in
the firm or over the shop window, and
who is not supposed TO have any con-
neetion with the business, and that
partner is his wife, in whom he is wise

Advice 10 Parents.

Parents should never put away thei,
own youth. They must never cease to
be young. Their sympathies and SEN
sibilities should be always quick and
fresh. They must love and take an in

warm and tender sympathy. So long
as parents are their best and most

comparatively safe in the society of

IN The POETS GARDEN.
Flowers Which Take Highest Rank in the
Songs of Every Land.


CONSPICUOUS among the individual
flowers specially honored by separate
poems to themselves are the rose, the
violet, the lily and the daisy, which
occupy in poetic botany the positions
of distinction and utility filed among
the poets birds by the nightingale,
dove, swan and linnet.
The rose is everywhere telling OF
passionate love and of grief; the violet,
like the turtle-dove. dwells apart in
modest seclusion, an emblem of self
satisfying affection Like the lily
white, silver swan, the flower that
gives it its epithcts is of stately mien
and of spotless robe, thing of orna-
ment, and conscious of its beauty.
while the daisy is like the linnet,

the poet with an innocent smile of I'M
cultured grace, and lending rural
charm to every verse ir which II sing.

are sweet flowers, all four.
Pride of place for the rose. 1t is the
universal flower. For it is native, so
far as we can tell now, of every CONT
nent. 1t is the foremost flower For
it is recognized in every country as the
Queen of flowers. 1t is the flower of all
time. For it lives in every language,
however ancient, and in all of them
it is consecrated to the future
and eternity. 1t is the flower of
legend For it is an epitome of the
pious traditions and folklore of the
world, whether Christian or Pagan
concordance of all the faiths and super
stitions of the human kind, of their
credulities and hopes and fears, the
symbol of every emotion. the ornament
of every rite: honored alike in joy and
in grief, blessing the cradle, brighten
ing nuptials, and sanctifying even the
grave. No wonder. then that English

It is admitted by all and denied by
none 80 far as we have heard that
our greatest financial curse, so
far as the masses are concerned, is the
credit system. The facility with
which a man can get into debt is a
great temptation to any one who thinks
he sees possibility Of thereby better
ing his condition. And yet, the story
told by statistic cs is that four-ffths OF
these men lose by their ventures.
That the fifth man makes fortune
is no reason why the system should be
continued but is rather the very
strongest argument against it. A
man always pay p interest on his in
debtendess. Sometimes very heavy in
terest. Now who profits by that in
terest? Not the debtor, surely. A
little sober reflection will convince
every thoughtful man that we are
right in this and that the surest way
to restore prosperity to the people is
to abolish their indebtedness. Let
Bottineau County, which takes the
lead in all other things, inaugurate
this movement by electing their next
state senator and representative on
this issue.

An Invention For Steamships.

An English Mechanical genius has de-
vised method of indicating and stop
ping leak by the use of compressed air.
He divides ship into alright compart-
ments, fitted with doors provided with
packing material and connected by tubes
with a room on deck called the ''switch
ROOM" In this room is junction chest
supplied with compressed air from fixed
or portable compressors and so arranged
that the air can be delivered to any of
the compartments. Other Tubes lead
from the compartment from which wa
ter can be forced out when required, and
electric indicators are also connected
with the switch room to indicate the ac-
emulation Of water in any of the COM
partments. Should the vessel "spring a
leak" the indicator will show which COM
partment is affected, SO that the COM
pressed air may be forced in to drive the
water out.-Boston Journal.
