THAT KNEADED LOAF
A Description of How and Where
That Loaf You Eat Is Made.

How many people give moments
thought to the process through which
the loaf of bread has gone which
graces the dinner table?
When the family sits down to the
meal to enjoy the snowy whlteness'
the haky lightness and the nutritious
substance of the loaf, the baker is
forgotten. Not everybody has en-
joyed the privilege of going through
a large baking establishment. Moses
Alexander proprietor of the Royal
Bakery, SIT Quincy street. extended
an invitation to a State journal re-
porter and he tells the story OF the
loaves without the fishes
AS the proprietor led the way into
the bake shop, big husky white ap-
pareled baker emptied a hundred
pound sack of flour into Champion
wheeled up and followed the same
road as the other. All the other in
gradients were carefully measured
and stirred with the flour in the big
hopper. A seven horse power dynamo
started the big knives in the mixer go
ing and the first act of bread making
was on. Eleven hundred 1oaves of
Royal bread is mixed in that machine
at once, enough bread to last a single
person three years. About six thou
sand loaves are baked and sold ev-
cry day at the Royal bakery, enough
mos from here to the North Pole.
From the mixer the dough is
emptied into a vat, wheeled to ta-
BILE where it is cut and weighed into
fifteen ounce loaves. Then into pans,
then on racks carrying several hun.
dred loaves and into the steam proof
box where the dough raises" From
proof box to the big continuous baker
oven is the next trip where the fin
ishing touch of golden brown is given
the loaf. The big oven in the Royal
bakery is fired but once a day with a
coal fire and will bake bread the re-
mainder of the day without further
attention.
It seems that the "chouncing" and
beating and roasting the loaf receives
up to this point should be sufficient
for human purposes. but the loaf is
a box to Sweat it out" There the
bread remains away from any pos
sible dust until the five wagons whisk
it away for final sale and consump-
ton.
Everything is spotlessly white in the
Nothing but the purest materials are
used in the dough for Royal bread.
Flour made especially for the Royal
bakery is used in every loaf. Every
baker or workman about the shop is
an expert in his line and all are
healthy men. Every rule of the state
board of health is needed
ct engaged in the bakery business
two years ago last May" said Mr..
Alexander, land at that time the
bakery was at S33 Kansas avenue.
We moved here a year ago last May.
We needed room and better facilities
for the growing business. The cost of
making the move was enormou but
here we can handle the wholesale
trade easily and promptly. We have
made it a point to give our patrons
the very best product possible and as
a result the business has developed
from $500 loaves daily to an average
of 5 900 loves. We are making a ten
cent loaf to meet the demand of the

Charcoal Lozenges
Powerful Absorbents
Offensive Breath and Stomach Gases
Cannot Exist When They Are Used.

Charcoal, by virtue of it's porous
nature, takes up gases mechanically
just as a sponge takes up water. Its
capacity in this respect is in proper
ton to the number and fineneSS of it's
pores. Charcoal made from poplar,
beechwood, vegetable ivory, cocoa-nut
shells and willow-wood, is a compact,
heavy substance, having metallic
luster, the pores being quite invisible.
Chemical tests of various kinds per-
formed by expert chemists have re-
vealed the fact that charcoal made
from willow wood, is not only abso-
lutely harmless, but that it is by far
the most powerful absorbent of all
kinds of gases. Certain other woods,
mentioned above, are used by some
manufacturers in making charcoal,
and besides not being half as effective
in absorbing stomach-g gases. have al
SO been found to be positively harmful
to the digestive system.
Willow-wood charcoal is. then, the
very best for the purpose of absorb
ing excessive gas of the stomach, re-
moving intestinal f1atus, and purifying
foul breath. Charcoal to be effective
against gastric f1atulence must be in
troduced among the gases of the stom-
ach in the same state as when fresh
from the crucible. The means of eff
fecting this is to compress them into
soluble lOzengeS, SO that after being
dissolved in the mouth and swallowed,
the charcoal is "set Free and at once
begins it's work of oxidizing and abb
sorbing foul gases, and also, through
its antiseptic properties, of purifying
the entire alimentary tract.
It is definitely known that the alb
Sorbent and cleansing action of char
coal is protracted and continued
through the intestinal system as well
as in the stomach, and it proves be-
neficial there also.
In STUARTS CHARCOAL LOZ-
ENGES we have gas-absorbing rem
edy which readily takes precedence
over all others. The charcoal used in
them is the very best that can be OBJ
tanned. They are composed of the fin
est young willow-wood, converted in
to charcoal by the special, carbonizing
Stuart Process. and before being COM
pressed into Lozenges, the powdered
charcoal is rendered sweet and thor
oughly agreeable to the taste by being
mixed with pure honey, and the result
is a product equally as palatable as
candy.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges have at
tanned a wide popularity among the
people, millions of boxes being sold
every year. They have, over and over
again proven their efficiency as rapid
and powerful absorbents of foul ston1-
ach-gases, relieving and curing f1atu-
lence, belching, or the eructation of
gases, and finally in the publication of
offensive breath.

The organ is an excellent one, the
gift of E. B. Merriam, and made by the

nothing at all pretentious about the
interior fittings of the place of worship,
although the general effect Is pleasing.
The three memorial windows add much
to the attractiveness of both the in
terror and exterior appearance. One Of
these was put in by DR.. Charles M.
Sheldon together with his brother and
sister in honor of their mother. A Sec
ond window was planned by Otis L.
Benton of Oberlin, in memory Of his
father and mother who were formerly
members of the First Congregational
church in Topeka. The third window,
which is on the west side of the build

deceased.

TENDENCY IS UPWARD.
In All Lines of Business According to
Bradstreet.

New York, Oct 23.-Bradstreet's
says:
Trade and industrial developments
are largely favorable. Continued cold
weather furnishes a marked stimulus
to demand for heavy wearing apparel,
dry goods, clothing and shoes, and also
benefits demand for hardware, gro
ceries, lumber and building materials
at retail in most markets. Demand for
coal has also been perceptibly quick
ened both for steam sizes and for
household supplies.
After long spell of dullness the
liquor trades are also displaying more
life. which may be variously attributed
to weather influences or to renewal of
proved pay rolls in general industry
Jobbing trade is good for the season
and reports as to spring trade agree on
general gains over the same period a
year ago.
The situation here. however is not
without its drawbacks. There is still
evidence of conservatism bred Of higher
prices asked for cotton goods for dis
tant delivery, but the general tendency
is still upward and staple products are
selling better at advanced prices.
In general industry the previous full
pace is maintained

PRINCE lToDEAD

Hardin, Manchuria, Oct. q. Prince
Hirobumi Ito was assassinated at the
Tsaitsagan railway station here today,
at the moment the japanese diplomat
was acknowledging the noisy welcome
that greeted him as he stepped from
the coach he had occupied in the rail
road train.
Smiling and bowling he made his way
toward the Russian fiance minister, M
Kokoysoff, who was waiting him on the
station platform, few PAGES distant.
suddenly half dozen revolver shots
fired in quick succession were head,
followed by the cries of those standing
near the prince, who had either been
wounded or imagined themselves to
be.
At the second report Prince Ito stag
gered and fell. 1t was subsequently
found that he had received three bullets
two of which entered the abdomen.
Prince Ito did MOREOVER consciousness
and died 20 minutes later
