LIZ ssEAED BREAD
Has Eccn Mans Constant Mainstay
From Time Immemorials

Has Eecn Mans Constant Mainstay
From Time ImmemOriaI.
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 a 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 in 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
tain 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" or soggy bread. This
is the yeast that took the first grand prize
CIV thS Nv AOuio POoieioh, CIV Nv oA~sAo>~
ICES the bread making in every home where
it is used because much better bread can be
made with it from any -four.
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 &c package.
The makers of Yeast Foam are giving out
new book called Good Bread; How to
Make It." 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, H. Every wo,
man who bakes should secure copy.

OF Two Ladies.
From Fridays Daily.
Two reckless fellows were racing down
Broad street this afternoon regardless of
the rights and saf y of anybody else
and bent only ON having good time,
and having no bells to warn people 10
danger, when they passed a horse and
cutter in which Mrs. +. M. Zuel was
driving with Mrs. Kirk of North Manka-
to. The ladies' horse took fright, but
the men drove on taking no notice. The
heightened animal dashed along, threw
both ladies out, broke the cutter all to
pieces, and was finally captured by
James Grierson after gcing through a
board fence. The ladies were not seri-
ously hurt, but Mr.. Zuel is naturally
very indignant and has reported the
matter to the police. He knows the
young fellows whose reckless driving
caused the accident, and intends to have
them feel that they cannot do such
things with impunity.
