selected to direct the campaign. Mr.
Cortelyou's experience had been in the
line of routine government work and
later of executive experience, but he
was not believed to have any knowledge
practical politics"
President Roosevelt had his own idea,
however, of the kind of man he wanted
to run the campaign. He believes thor
oughly in political organization and
knowing Cortelyou's genius for organ
ization in government work he con-
cluded the same quality would be val
liable in political campaign.
Chairman Cortelyou has not disap-
pointed the president, but he has disap-
pointed his critics within his own party.
The old line politicians take their hats
off to this young general who has brought
into politics the genius and ability that
proved SO effective in conducting a gov
eminent department. Even his political
opponents express admiration for Mr..
Cortelyou's quiet and effective method
of managing campaign. The visitors
at the republican headquarters in New
York and Chicago are all struck with
the business air that characterizes them.

upio conceals the fact
that he is married when he enlists in the
army. 1t has been suggested that the
punishment under these circumstances
is out of proportion to the infraction
of army rules and it is proposed to re-
duce the punishment so as to retain de-
sirable men in the service, notwith-
standing the fact that they are mar
ried. Many army officers contend that
the best soldiers are often those who
have wives to look after them or to
provide for.
The principal objection to married
soldiers is that in the transfer of troops
involving travel beyond the seas and
long periods of absence from home sta
tons the soldier with a wife becomes
somewhat of an impeachment. The wives
sometimes give trouble and if husband
and wife are separated there is dissat-
isfaction and occasionally a desertion.
This objection, however, is believed to
be offset by the better character Of the
men who are married. They are apt to
be Steadier and more attentive to their
duties
The authorities have encountered
some difficulty in getting the best ma
terial into the ranks Of the army Just
now the navy seems to have the call, as
the life there is more attractive and the
| opportunity greater for seeing more Of
the world. Army life in time of peace
| is rather monOtonOus and young men
after the present short enlistment of
three years do not care to reinlist. There
is suggestion that the term of enlist
ment be extended to what it formerly
was, that is, five years. 1t was thought
that the privilege of rising from the
ranks and receiving commissions would
be an inducement to intelligent young
men to enter the army. This is not
found to be the case, however. and the
only explanation that seems to offer is
that there are better opportunities in
the labor and business world for strong,
healthy and intelligent young men.

LEAvENED BREAD

Has Been Mans Constant Mainstay
From Time Immemorial.
Some writer has said that The first miller
emerging from his savage state, with no
thought save hunger, plucked the wheat
from the stock, and, using his teeth for mill
stones, ground the first grist for customer
who would not be denied-his stomach"
Thus gaining experience by test in the food
line, it would be only natural for this miller
to lay up quantity of grain against an hour
of need. just when he commenced grinding
his wheat i'll the rude stone mortar and
moistening the flour preparatory to baking
it in the ashes of his camp fire, and just
when it was found that an old piece of dough
in fresh batch made it better or 'leavened"
it, is beyond the reach of historians. Ger
taiil it is that though the principle was the
same thousands of years ago as it is to-day,
it has remained for the makers of Yeast
Foam to supply yeast with all the true
leavening powers minus the properties that
produce sour, "runny" orsoggy bread. This
is the yeast that took the first grand prize
at the ST. Louis Exposition, and revolution
ICES the bread making in every home where
it is used because much better bread can be
made with it from any flour.
Yeast Foam is purely vegetable, being
made of the best malt, corn, hops and other
healthful ingredients. The factory is also
the cleanest and best equipped in the world.
This yeast is the only kind that preserves
in the bread all the delicious flavor and
nutritive value of the wheat. The bread
made with it is always sweet and wholesome
and stays moist until used. Forty loaves of
bread can be made from one Sc package.
The makers of Yeast Foam are giving out
new book called Good Bread How to
Make 1t" This little book, invaluable in
its way, has twenty-six illustrations in colors,
and tells how to make all kinds of bread,
biscuits, buns and rolls, as well as contain
ing other recipes which will be found in
valuable in the home. The way of prepar-
ing the different recipes is very clear and
comprehensive. The book will be sent free
to any one sending their name and address,
with request for same, to the Northwestern
Yeast Company, Chicago, I'll. Every wo.
man who bakes should secure copy.
