TO MAKE GOOD BREAD.

How many readers of this depart

bread? There seems to be kind OF
cry of despair coming from house.
keepers who were considered good
bread makers "back east. They all
have the same experience after COM
ing to the coast-an experience OF
earnest effort resulting in failure.
Instead of what they desire most in
the staff of life, they have loaves of
dark colored, heavy, porous, hard
crusted bread neither inviting to the
eye or appetizing to the taste. We
have been seeking solution OF the
problem of failures. The question OF
altitude, flour, yeast, and skill has
been fully considered, and we have
arrived at this conclusion A strong
yeast is needed in this climate.
During a recent trip to the ocean we
had the good fortune to be guest at
the Surf hotel at Moclips. Here we
gained few points concerning bread
making, and they must be good ones

tinctly what it should be. Right
there we made resolution that We
would yet make palatable bread. Our
good hostess willingly gave us the in
formation we desired, and we will
gladly pass it along for the readers of
The Ranch. 1t may help them as it
has us. Boil and mash two good sized
potatoes: pour the boiling potato
water over some flour, stir in potatoes

Mix bread as usual kneading at once
into loaf, working it until smooth and
velvety to touch. Cover with cloth,
let rise, make into loaves and bake.
1t will require only 2 or 3 hours time.

With a theory that human health
is dependent on the stomach and with
a medicine which he says proves this
theory, l.. T. Cooper, a comparatively
young man. has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited the most of the
.leading cities of the country, and in
each city has aroused storm of dis
cussion about his beliefs and his med
icines. Wherever he has gone people
have called upon him by tens of thous-
ands, and his preparation has sold in
immense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day. In view
of this, the following statements from
two of the great number of followers
which he now has are of general in

N. V. Marsh residing at PIT South

following to say upon the subject OF
