Philadelphia Record, May IA
Frenchman has devised means for
converting grain into dough st one
operation without milling, an inven-
tion, which, if the claims of the origi-
nator are verified, will not only effect
a revolution in bread making, but al
SO make the miller's occupation, like
that of Othsllo, only memory of the
past. The grain, which is first soak
ed, enters one end of the machine,
where it Is crushed and disintegrat-
ed, the paste passing to the kneading
machine in the other end of the ap.
paratus, where it is aerated and
kneaded into dough, which may be
preserved indefinitely without injury.
All the nutritive qualities of the
grain, the bran included, are preserv
ed, and the bread possesses greater
nutrition and is more easily digested.
The town fountain is great pub
lie convenience, and yet there are
many persons who abuse the favor o!
such water supply for man and
bsaat. The barbarian element, who
care nothing, excep. for the gratifica
tion of their own pleasure and jeal'
ousy and malice, steals or destroys
everything in tbs way of drinking
cups that may be plsced at the foun
tain for public use, and many of the
men who come there to water teams
drive so carelessly that the Wagon
tongue strikes the fountain basin anG
Injuries water pipe connection and in
that way there is almost constantly
something to do at the fountain, and
it is presumed that the barbsrians
and thieves and careless people vii
continue to carry on in their usua
wa7 at the fountain till some OF then
are caught in the meshes OF ths law
There are always some people, who
will not behave decently till they
have decsnt behavior forced upor
them.
