The old-fashioned cook wrapped her

dough was put to bed IN warm cor

sets her dough in a patent pan with
a perforated top, out of possible
draugkts, and consults her thermom-
eter regularly and solicitously.
The average housewife assumes,

In reality, overfermentation is as
grave an evil as the arrested proc
ess. Summer boarders Do bot need

mistress. If she thinks it worth her
while to attempt correction Of the
damage done to her dough over
night, she kneads in soda with
heavy hand that leaves acrid, yellow
streaks IN the baked loaf without
neutralizing the acidity of the mass.
Yet good bread is never more a
necessity Of comfortable living than
In warm weather. Sour viscidity in
suits gastric juices and taxes to the
