Bread Naking Al
 ZFe Fair Today
Good Bread Foundation Of Good HousekeepngGreat h. terest Manifested In Contest-Womens Department
 Attracting Much Attention
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

Bread-malking has long since earned for itself the reputation of being the most dif- fcult of culinary arts. although the most essential.
 pr. Wylie. the government food expert, lays more stress on bread than any other article of food. He attributes the happi- ness of one's home almost entirely to good bread and his theory even goes so far as to attack the masculine disposition asserting that no man can be a cheerful happy husband unless he has good bread to eat.
 One thing the newspapers have accom- plished in their long and useful careers is that they have almost entirely broken up the favorite saying. "The bread like mother used to make" for which feminin- ity at large returned profound and sim cere thanks This was from time imme- morial flung into the faces of patient wives by exacting husbands, but the jokes leveled at the aforesaid husbands by comic writers and jokers have shamed them so that it would take q braver being than mere man" to dare t0 make such a statement nowadays for fear of the con- lulllCly WIiNi nOdll pS oiptt,hN NSN IT upon his unsuspecting cranum.
 As matter of fact good bread is the rule and not the exception in the average home of the day. Dr. Wylie to the con trary notwithstanding.
 Women have studied bread making as an art, and when a woman goes in to learn a thing she usually does it. Of all the department of domestic science bread making appeals most strongly toNthe good housewife Today there is no excuse for not making bread properly. Given the best flour, the best yeast, the best pro- cess for baking, and there is no good reason for failure!
 
 This is the day which has been chosen by Mrs John B. Reid of the woman department of the State Fair for the bread-making contest, in which particular line womans excellence has an oppor- tunity of asserting itself. Mrs. Reid, with her clever intuition and progressive spirit, has seen the necessity of encouraging and fostering the art of bread-maRing and she has by comforting with the vari- ous big flour people arranged special pre- miums for the work. The movement has met with a large amount of interest and no doubt will aid materially in advancing this most valuable commodity.
 Today nanuSolne sel ol cHiila 10 'O "0 awarded the successful contestant who bakes the best loaf of bread from Obelisk flour. It is an excellent opportunity for the clever housewife to show her pro- ficency in this especial line.
 No stated rules can be laid down Tor the making of bread, as each and every individual has her own particular method of accomplishing the result. One thlng' however, is conceded. and that is that
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-10-15

a good loaf of bread cannot be pro- dueed without a certain lightness of touch and delicacy and those who clutch with the clumsy hand the uahaked loaf will have, as a result, heavy bread.
 Scores of recipes are always at hand for making bread. yet in view of the fact that today the contest at the fair is at tracting so much attention it may not be amiss to quote an old and experienced housekeeper, who is as famous for her bread as the good dame in The Vicar of Waketield' was for her sgooseberry pies. ?
 She says: with hands and nails scrupulousy clean, get together on a low table your well fioured board, one cup ful of lukewarm milk, half a. teaspoon ful of salt, an equal quantity of sugar, quarter of yeast cake dissolved in quarter of q cupful of lulgewerm water, and a trine over three cupfuls of -four. This will make a single loaf which Is all the beginner will care to experiment with.
 "The milk must not be scalded, but boiled in a double boiler, or the dough may sour while rising. The flour is always measured after sitting. When the mixture is stiff enough to knead. work it quickly until it is smooth and free from Jumps Use only the tips of the fingers and the balls of the hands. and do not break through the crust. The dough is now ready to rise. It should be left over night in a sheltered place and covered over with a towel to keep out the air. The well risen loaf is just double it's original size. 1t should then be worked over again for a few minutes doubling the edges inward, set to rise for a few minutes more, when it will again have doubled in milk, and is ready to be baked for three-quarters of an hour or so The proper oven will not burn your hand held within it while you count 10 The loaf. when sufficiently Drowned will have hollow sound when youzrap on it."

Madam Lien Arrested.

Picking, October 14-Madame Lien. the wife of the biographer of the late Li Hung Chang, has been arrested in Shanghai on imperial orders. The reason for this action Is found in the fact that Madame Lien has of late been making brave efforts to clear the character of female teacher who was beheaded last year charged with revolutionary activity. Madame Lien is D Chinese woman of ed- ucation. Unless the opinion of the out side world intervenes, foreigners in Pe- king fear repetition of the cruel execu- tion in 1903 of Shen Chien. This man, who was a Chinese journalist and reformer. was beaten to death by order of the gov- ernment.

Has a Hard Luck Record.

From the New York Herald.
If diary found in the pocket OF Car
los NJ Reynolds, who was held In the
West Side police court yesterday on a
charge of burglary, is true record il
will establish Reynolds title to the
hard luck" championship of the city
Incidentally, it may aid the police IN
fixing upon him the Responsibility for sew
eral thefts of which he Is suspected.
On the last page of the diary Rey-
nolds summarizes his experiences since
the beginning of the year. Hard luck
started with him in January, and kept
pace till his arrest yesterday. This is
what has happened to Reynolds since the
year began:
January--Sick, and out Of work
February-W orking; hit by car.
March-In hospital.
April--Out of hospital. Got stabbed.
May-Fell from ladder.
June-Iit by a car.
July--Head hit by iron pipe.
August-Hurt by fighting.
September-TIit by automobile.
Reynolds desire TO keep a record OF
his doings may prove his undoing, for the
police profess to find in the entries in the
diary references that may have bearing
on the cases of theft which they charge
to him.
