BREAD MADE WITHOUT FLOUR
French idea That 10 Not Likely 70 b
come Popular With Ameri-
can Housewives.

We have horseless carriages and
fireless cookers. but the latest limo
walton is "fourless bread" In the
new process the necessity of milling
the grain is eliminated. the wheat be-
ing used as it comes from the thrash
ing machine.
The idea is that of concern in
Paris. and the machine developed by
ii transforms the wheat into dough
by the following means.
The machine consists mainly OF
large screw turning loosely in case
on whose inner surface is a screw
thread running in the opposite direc-
tion- Between the main threads on
the cylinder are smaller threads and
the depth of the groove between the
main threads grows progressivly
smaller from one end to the other. SO
that it will hold the entire wheat
grain as il enters the machine and
viii accommodate only the pulverized
wheat at the exit
The wheat must first be prepared
for breadmaking by thorough
washing, after which about a pint of
tepid water to a pound of grain is
added. and the whole is allowed to
stand about six hours. At the end Of
this time the grains of wheat have
swollen TO double their ordinary size.
1T is then mixed with the necessary
quantity of yeast and salt and poured
into the machine. IL falls between the
threads OF the moving screw. which
crush the envelope and body OF the
grain, making of them homogeneous
mixture which just before leaving the
screws forms a smooth paste.
The work of kneading is terminated
by the operation of a glider. formed
of two parallel surfaces. One of these
surfaces is the extremity of the NOV
able screw. while the other is fixed
TO the contrary screw and has cen
trial hole through which the dough
escapes in the form of continuous
roll
The dough, on issuing from the ma
chine. is put into baskets, where it re-
mains until it begins TO rise. 1t is
then divided into long loaves and
placed on a table until the moment
when it is to be placed in the ovens"
Commenting on the new process. the
writer says that while it seems TO be
new, and really is when used on a
large scale. it yet is a step backward
to the crude break-making methods of
the ancients. Neither viii the idea
become popular. the writer thinks. for
he says:
'In 100 years civilized man has
struggled up from the brown and
black bread of the peasant TO the
white bread of the rich. He is not
going back to the bread of the eigh-
teenth century"

Why Blaine Left Journalism

hundred dollars was a large sum of
money down in Maine
Well, Blaine thought the situation
over for some time. and finally came
to the conclusion that he was worth
fifteen hundred dollars a year, il he
was worth cent, and that he did not
propose TO hold down his editorial po-
sition for less than what he was
worth. So, parting in a most friendly
spirit with his employer. Mr.. Blaine
returned to Augusta whittier he had
gone TO Portland, and he had not been
there long when he was nominated
and elected a member of the legis-
lature. He was four years a member
of that body, and for two years he was
its speaker. and that before he had
finished his thirty year. In
that body he discovered wherein his
real ability lay: and so, say, had he
not returned to Augusta when he did,
and all because he could not get the
raise in salary that he wanted, his
great political career would undoubt-
eddy have been considerably delayed,
and maybe-who can tell?-he might
have become a great newspaper edi-
tor instead of great statesman. /
have always believed that Mr.. Blaine
cherished at one time a strong secret
great newspaper. and had he remained
in Portland with the Advertiser Bos-
ton or a New York newspaper might
have tempted him thither in time"

Well, when we started out we
knew that it wouldn't do just to place
