The Yeast Ffant.

0ne of the bacteria best known to
the housewife is the plant used as
Teavener Of our bread. The yeast
plant acts on the sugar in the flour
to form alcohol and carbon dioxide,
the gassy bubbles of the carbon diox-
ide try to break through the tough
gluten Of the dough, but can not and
so raise the whole mass, and this
makes the dough- light and porous.
The yeast plant works best in tenn
perature of Is to 80 degrees Fahren-
heit. The housewife soon learns that
too high or too low temperature will
kill it. The beginner often scalds her
yeast and then wonders why her
ferment, and the gas is dissipated
the alcohol driven out ,and the glu-
ten stiffened. The caramelizing of
the surface by heat gives the nutty
flavor to good bread. The reason for
much Of the sour bread is that the
heat of the inside Of the loaf is not
high enough during baking to xiii
the bacteria, which go on working
and the result is sour bread. The
oven should be hot enough to raise
the temperature of the inside of the
loaf to 212 degrees There is much
more to the making of good bread
than unadulterated flour or lively
yeasts, and only experience can get
the best of materials. Everything can
not be learned from the printed page

had good home training before she

FEWER IMMIGRANTS COMING.
Drop OF 2S,369 During june, AS
Compared With May.

Washington, D. C. Especially -
The tide of immigration into the
United States is on the wane A
falling off of 1880, or approx
mately 20 per cent. in the number
of immigrant aliens admitted into all
ports for the month of June, as COM
pared with May last, is shown by
statistics just made public at the
Bureau of immigration of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor.
The total number of immigrant
aliens admitted for June was 85,470,
as against 107,839 during May. A
marked increase, however, is noted
in the number of aliens debarred
for the month of June, as compared
with May, the figures being 1,646
against 1909.
An interesting feature of the sta
tistics is, that while by far the larg-
est immigration came from Southern
Italy and Poland during the month
of June, these two countries show
the greatest falling off in the number
of aliens admitted during June, COM
pared with May last.

WOMEN ON POLICE FORCE.
Urged BY President OF National
Woman's Protective Association.

Minneapolis, MINI. Especially -
That Minneapolis needs 100 women
policemen is the opinion of DR.. An
ma Howard Shaw, president Of the
National Woman's Suffrage Associa-
tion, who addressed the students in
the chapel of the University of Min
nesota.
She gave it as her opinion that
should the demands of suffragists
be granted, it would not be too
much to expect that women should
do their share in the police and fire
departments.
Zone hundred women specialists
put on the police force of any city
would make for improved civic con-
ditions.'' said DIR. Shaw. "The crimi-
nal needs smothering.'
IF women were on the police
force their watchfulness, care ami
attention to people who need their
wholesome influence, backed up by
authority, would prove most use
full and uplifting measure"

SIX KILLED ON WABASH.
Rains Weakened Tracks And Train
Rolled Into River.


Kansas City, Mo. Especial Six
lives were lost, three persons we're
probably fatally injured and some SO
were hurt in the wreck of Wabash
passenger train that plunged into the
Missouri River 80 miles east of
Kansas City.
OF the eight cars in the train, five
coaches and the locomotive are in
the river, with the water covering
all of them except one end of a
sleeping car. A chair car and two
Pullmans remained unchanged.
At the scene of the wreck the river
makes a bend and the railroad fol-
lows it. For days food waters have
undermined the roadbed, making it
too weak to hold up the heavy trains.
Three hours before the wreck a
freight train of A 8 loaded cars passed
the point safely.
AS the passenger train was rum
ming only Ia miles an hour the inn
pact of the cars was not great, but
great confusion ensued as the cars
slipped and rolled into the murky
water.
Eight mail clerks were saved by
the fact that the roof of their car was
torn OF, allowing them to get out
on top of the car and swim to the
bank. All were injured.
