On the Making Of Bread

The question of bread, in one or other of
its many possible forms, compels the at
tention of nearly every individual of the
race. The conditions which influence the
quality of bread are almost innumerable,
and some of them are beyond the power
and outside the reach of the domestic pro-
Queer. Tho composition of the grain and
wheat, which determines the special fitness
for bread making, varies greatly with the
soil and climate in which 1t has been
grown, and greatly also with the favorable
or unfavorable character of the season.
Yet what private bread maker, generally
speaking, would be able to say whether
the best -four for her purpose would be
welded by Indian wheat or by American,
and how could she proceed in order to OBJ
tain either one or the other? She is at the
mercy of the miller, or, more frequently,
of the retailer, who in most cases cannot
afford to carry large stock of flour and is
compelled to deliver New Flour to his GUS
toners. The most frequent cause of I'M
wholesomeness in!bread is probably caused
by too prolonged a continuance of fer
mentation, by which compounds more or
less deleterious are produced. In the Tor
mer case, especially with consumers in
whom digestion is slow, Preventative
changes may recommence while the bread
is still in the stomach; in the latter the
consumer takes what may be looked upon
as mild poison. A simple test of whether
the EMBELLISHMENTS of bread, for any in
dividual, is due to fault in the process of
fermentation, is to substitute for a time
bread well made from Old Wheat Flour or
entire wheat. Kelly is the only dealer in
this city who carries these goods.

Passed to the higher life Friday
morning, Aug. Sd, Gertrude, infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank j..
Beal. This little one was born with
such store of love and joyousness in
her nature that its infection was felt by
all about her. Living less than year and
half in this earthly home she yes left
behind her memories of such sweetness
and beauty as to sanctify the very
walks over which the little feet passed,
and the places which witnessed the
fulfillment of her brief journey. Those
who cared for her through her sick
ness beheld with astonishment the
fortitude with which she wrestled with
the disease which attacked her vitals,
but which had no power to dull the
intellect or impair the will. 1t was
brave struggle for life, and never to
the last moment was the consciousness
dimmed or the steadfast look abated.
AS the end approached those who
watched saw an unearthly beauty fall
upon the little face. The sweet eyes,
in whose depths lay a world of
preciousness, opened wider, as if to
take in the beauties of that land which
was opening before them. AS quietly
and painlessly she fell asleep as if it
were but the slumber of a night; the
tiny hands, so full of tasks undone,
all softly folded, and upon the fair
brow the kiss of eternal peace. In a
moment, in the Lwinkling of an eye,
she fled away from the longing hearts
and outstretched arms, and was in His
presence, with whom "a thousand
years are as a day, and day as a
thousand years." for "their spirits do
always behold the face of the Father. J"

At the town meeting on Saturday
called for the purpose of raising money
for the schools, it was voted to dis
miss the article. The town will not
vote to raise any more money and a
number of schools will have to be dis
continued. The town district had
twelve schools the spring term and
eleven at least should be kept up it
would require but a small tax, and
would be much better for the town in
the end to raise what little money IS
wanted. A tax of fifteen cents would
do it, and make all repairs, and some
repairs will have to be made or go
without school.
