In the danger area the severest
discipline is maintained. All entrances
are carefully guarded by searchers,
who vigorously examine every indi-
yidual that desires to enter, relieving
him of any metallic objects that may
be carried upon his person, together
with matches and other suspicious OBJ
jects which upon coming into contact
with the dangerous chemicals used In
this zone might provoke serious trou-
Bile. No matter how often an employe
engaged within the hill may pass in
and out, every time he enters he must
submit to this preliminary and essen
tial operation. There are also some
500 girls employed, and these are un-
der the charge of matrons. Hairpins,
ordinary pins, shoe buttons, metal pegs
within the soles Of the shoes, knitting
and other needles are all relIgiously
barred. Their hair is tied with braid
or ribbon, and, as with the male en-
ployes every time they enter the "dan-
ger area" they are similarly searched
by the matrons.-Scientihc American.

New Skin for Cuts.

One Of the handiest things to have
about In case Of cuts or gashed flesh
Is bottle of collodion or liquid stick
ing plaster, as 1t is often called. 1t is
put up in 10-cent bottle with tiny
brush attached. AS it is extremely
volatile, 1t must be kept carefully
corked. Cover the cut, blood and all,
with brushing Of the collodion. 1t
coats the cut from the air and infec-
tion and will come off only by soaking
in hot water. Another effective remedy
which is nearly always at hand is to
lay half-chewed tobacco, dampened with
the saliva on the cut, blood and all, and
wrap a soft cloth around II. Leave on
at least twenty-four hours and dampen
in warm water as soon as the tobacco
shows signs Of drying. This takes all
soreness out and seems to absorb such
poison as may have entered the cut. 1t
does not sound nice, but It is a fine
remedy.

THE STAFF OF LEE.
A Brief History of Bread-Variety
of ingredients.

Brief History OF Bread-Variety
of Ingredients.
Probably the earliest form of bread
was simply the whole grain moistened
and exposed to heat Later the grains
were roasted and ground or pounded,
between stones, while unleavened bread
was made by mixing this crude flour
with water and baking in the form Of
cakes. Among the many ingenious ar
rangements used for baking this bread
was sort of portable oven similar in
shape to pitcher, within which fire
was made. After the oven had been
well heated paste Of meal and water
was applied to the outside.
Bread of this kind was baked quick
ly and removed in small, wafer-l like
sheets.
Most of the bread of olden times,
writes Mrs. Il. G. Kellogg in Good
Health, was baked in the form of fiat
cakes, which, being too brittle to be cut
with a knife, was commonly broken in
to pieces-hence the expression so conl-
mon in Scripture, "breaking bread"
Various substances have been and
are still used for making this useful
article. Until within the last few de-
cades barley was the grain most gen-
orally made into bread. In regions
where nuts abonnds chestnuts ground
into -four are used.
The ancient Thracians made bread
from -four prepared from the water
roltran, root; the Syrians, fsuzn flour
made of dried mulberries. Rice, moss
palm-tree piths and starch-producing
roots are utilized by different nationali-
ties. In some parts Of Sweden and
Northern Europe. bread is made Of one
part barley meal and one part dried
fish meal, to which in winter -four from
the bark of trees Is added.
Desiccated tomatoes, potatoes and
other vegetables are frequently mixed
with cereals for bread-making. In In
dia the lower classes make their bread
chiefly from millet. The Icelanders
make their bread from the reindeer
moss, which toward autumn becomes
soft, tender and moist, and tastes like
wheat, bran. The -four is made by dry
Ing and finely pulverizing this moss.
The breadstuffs most generally used
at the present time are the cereals
barley, rye, oats, maize, buckwheat,
rice and wheat
In Mexico the native bread is the tor
tilla, fat cake, made Of corn which
has been hulled by stepping In lime
water, then ground and reground on
metate until the product is smooth,
flexible douGh. The cakes are shaped

baked on heated stones. The cakes are
three feet in length, foot wide and
