Preservation of Bread by the Use of
Waxed Paper.

SO much has been written within
the past few years regarding the
communication. of diseases through
bacilli microbes founGi in dust, etc.,
that practical methods are being
introduced to counteract their ex-
tension or growth. One of the latest
ideas is the protection of such an
important article of food as bread.
In our cities large proportion OF
the bread consumed is supplied by
bakeries. Bread from such places
must, of necessity, be handled sew
seral times by different employees,
and it sometimes happens that pa
'cilla germs become attached to the
bread during the handling. either
from contamination frem.the hands
or perhaps from the clothes of the
person making the delivery. So, to
protect the bread from such posi-.
ole contingencies, the custom is
being introduced in many places
among bakeries of wrapping each
loaf, as soon as it is baked, in a
sheet of waxed paper, sealing the
knot of the string holding the paper
surrounding the loaf. The bread is
not only in this way well guarded
from bacilli germs, but is also kept
moist and fresh, as the waxed paper
prevents evaporation of moisture,
while the consumer is certain to
receive an article that can, be de-
pended upon as healthful and good >.
without regard to the number of
landings it has undergone.
The idea of wrapping bread. cake,
confectionery. tobacco. soap, meat,
etc, in waxeds paper to, preserve
their freshness is quite old, but the
use of the paper as a guard against
the communication of disease germs
is comparatively new, yet it is so
practical that it is surprising it has
never been thought of or advocated

LAred to Ruin by Phantom Of Fortune.

A dispatch from Santa Rosa, Cal,
April 18th, says: j. K. Hurd,, the
fugitive City Clerk OF Cripple Greek,
Col, was brought to this city from
Cloverdale this morning and lodged
in the County Jail. There be will
remain until tomorrow morning,
when in custody of an officer from
Colorado, be will start for the city
in which he lived and was respected
for years and from winch. he fed in
disguise about a month ago to es-
cape the consequences of his EN-
bezzlement of city funds.
Hurd realizes his position very
keenly. He is gentlemanly in his
bearing and man of thorough ed
ucation and natural refinement. He
tells story in connection with his
wrong. doing similar to many told
before by men in a like position.
1t is the old, old story of the fasci-
nation Of mining stock speculation.
the exhaustion Of private funds,
then borrowing little by little from
the public funds, always hoping for
stroke Of fortune sufficient TO re-
place funds embezzled.
Hurd states that just before the
election last November he put all
the money he had on hand and all
he could borrow beside into mining
stocks, anticipating that after cleo
ton the stock would go up. He was
disappointed in the expected rise,
and being in desperate position
and realizing that he would go out
Of Office in a short time and could
cover up his defalcation only until
his term expired, he took big slice
of the public funds and fled from
the city.
Hurd states that his first inten-
ton was to 60 direct to Japan, but
afterward decided to take to the
mountains. Speaking of his capture
by Marshal Orr, Hurd intimated
strongly that if be bad had his shot

never have surrendered without
fight. However" he said, sit is
better that the matter should end
the way it has,"
Hurd claims that he held impor-
tant positions on many of the lead
ing Eastern newspapers, including
the st. Louis Republic. Before his
election as City Clerk he was con-
nected with Colorado. newspaper.
He is 80 years Of age and has been
married seven years. He says that
he never had any family troubles
and but for the phantom of fortune,
that caused him to speculate in
gold-lniniag stocks, wouldnot have
