U bread" l fancy I hear one of
 you say. s.. kind of bread-good, bad or indifferent ? That makes all the difference in the world. The truth is, there IS nothing in the whole range of cooking that is so uneven in its results as bread. That IS the experience of the majority of cooks, amateur and professional l was talk ing on this subject once with the very capable woman who was at that time, administering kitchen affairs for me, and who always had the most delicious and toothsome bread.
 "you never seem to make mistake, Mary, or to have bad luck with your baking" l said. f,
 There's no need of either, madam, was Mary's reply. Tt is just lack ot .are. When l make bread l put my mind to it. and see to 1t that 1t IS right
 And then Mary made a statement that quite contradicts the one made by the girl who received the proposition for this lesson so cavalierly:
 And not everybody can make good bread, no matter how hard they try. There's Nellie, now"-Nellie was her assistant whom she was teaching to cook-"it's no use to try to teach her she never can do it; she's too heavy handed; she'll never make a cook. l was telling her that this morning"
 Alertness Necessary in Cooking
 At first I didn't quite see what Mary meant, but l found out by watching: The girl moved clumsily; she touched things as though her hand was of iron she clutched rather than held whatever was in her grasp; there was no light ness. no alertnesS to any of the motions. She was just heavy; that described her better than any other word would have done. l have seen a few people like her since, and have found out in every case that they were not good

cooks: no matter how conscientiously they tried, they could not succeed. It was the hopeless heaviness of their movements.
 I give you this piece of information for two reasons: To show you that the girl who jumped at her conclusions jumped in the wrong direction, and to give you some information that may stand you in stead in time to come when it shall fall to you to look for the new maid.

Allow for Fermentation
 If it is too thick add little more boil ing water until it is the consistency of cream; set it aside to cool, and when 1t is lukewarm add the yeast. Put it in a warm place to rise until it is frothy and light, beating it down every half hour. When it is risen sufficiently, put 1t in a jar or a glass bottle, cork it and keep 1t cool. Don't fill the receptacle; you'll be likely to have an explosion if you do. and find your yeast anywhere but where you put it. Remember, the jar not over two-thirds full, to allow for fermen- tation

And let me tell you as secret that there is no better exercise for the chest and arms than this, and if you have fiat chest, fabby muscles and dropping shoulders, just take up bread-making. You'll be surprised what 1t will do in the way of development.
 Letting Bread Rise
 So soon as the dough is smooth,
Arizona republican., 1909-10-02

When you have to take some yeast out do not take the jar into warm place, but pour 1t out where 1t is kept, and be sure that the cork is replaced at once. You will notice that the potato IS not cooked, but is grated raw. Now many of the rules that are in use call for boiled potatoes. l do not suppose that the yeast itself is any better made with the uncooked potatoes, but 1t keeps better.
 It i. more likely to turn sour soon when the cooked potato IS used. just as any cooked vegetables spoil more quickly than uncooked ones. It IS cer- tainly more trying, both to fingers and patience, to grate the raw potato than to mash the cooked one, but the result will be better, and isn't that worth taking little trouble for!

 And now for the bread itself. | The first step is to examine your hands, to see that they are quite clean. rings removed and nails in order, and you are ready to begin.
 The rule I am going to give you-for we don't want to undertake too much at the beeinning-will make a single loaf or a pan of biscuits. You can increase the proportions as you desire a larger quantity, but I would make my experi- ment with the single loaf.
 Use one cupful of milk or water, luke warm; one-half a teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of sugar, one quarter of a cupful of yeast, or one quarter a yeast cake dissolved in one quarter of a cupful of lukewarm water and from three to three and half cup fuls of flour.
 Mix Bread
 Milk bread, I think, is hner-grained and smoother than bread that is mixed with water, and l have an idea that it is more delicate, and at the same time more nourishing. Still, water bread is good and where milk is not easily obtained or is too expensive to use for mixing YOU will. I am sure, find no fault witt its substitute.
 If YOU use milk you must heat it tc boiling in the double boiler; mere scald ing will not do, it must be boiled. This is to prevent the dough from turning sour while rising, as 1t often will do 1T I Wd1Iu MCdlllCl hhACsS @ taken

 Conserves and Marmalades
 Conserves are superlative preserves. There is no difference between the two in proportions of fruit and sugar, the old-fashioned rule of pound for pound" being followed in the majority of recipes for conserves, but the method of cook ing the fruit after the sugar IS added makes the difference, a fiavorful one, between "conserves" and preserves"
 When making preserves the fruit is cooked in the syrup to the done degree only, a careful housewife taking great care her peaches, pluns, pears or what not do not lose their fair proportions through over-cooking. but in making conserves, of which there are two kinds, the soft and the dry, long cooking is the rule.

tablished here. He recognized that
it has a great and important field, in
this rich and rapidly developing Sec

CONCERT WAS FINE.

The Evelyn Bargelt Concert Co.,
which appeared at the opera house
on Monday evening, was the first
number of this years lecturer and en-
tertainment course and to say that
the large audience was pleased is but
stating the actual fact. Miss Bargelt
is a fine reader and her crayon work
is very meritorious. Jos. Stelzl is a
good performer and William Clifford,
tenor and trombone captured the
audience, which was carried farther
away with enthusiasm by the flute
and piccolo music furnished by Leon
Batcheldor. 1t was a fine concert ano
the succeeding numbers or the course
will no doubt also be up to this high
standard.
