A few months ago the case was
reported of little girl living in
Hackensack who was sent to three
different hair specialists in New
York for treatment of scalp affec-
ton which they considered a con-
tagious disease. One went so far
as to have her hair shaved off.
Later, the trouble was found to be
a simple case OF eczema, which was
cured in a few days by poslam.
In the various forms of skin
troubles in both infants and adults.
poslam produces beneficial results
from the first application. Eczema,

properties. Occasional applications

SUGGESTIONS IN
BREADMAKING

FROM HELEN ATWATERS
OFFICIAL BOOK, "BREAD AND
BREADMAkING"
Yeast develops best at a tempera-
ture of of n to So degrees F.
Mix bread in warm place, free
from drafts, and have materials
lukewarm.
Breadmaking machines give ex-
cellent results, mix the dough thor
oughly, and are labor saving and
clearly.
After mixing dough, eggs, sugar
and shortening may be added, and
sometimes spices, chopped nuts. or
raisins, so that the varieties of
bread become numerous
To prevent too rapid formation of
the crust, bakers sometimes mois-
ten the tops of loaves before putt
ing them in the oven.
Bake pound loaf one hour and
small rolls one half hour, at 400 de-
grees +.
On being taken from the oven
bread should be placed on Stats or
sleeves so that the air can circulate
about it.
The best way to protect bread
from mold is to keep it in a dry,
air tight box. a.
The nutritive value of bread de-
ponds not only on its chemical
composition. but also on its digesti-
bility, and the later in turn de-
ponds largely on the lightness of
the loaf.

First the flour must be of good
quality. Housewives prefer. wheat
flour of a rich cream color, which
after being pressed by the hand
should fall loosely apart.
Rye flour is darker than that OF
wheat. It's gluten has not the same
elastic quality, and it is not so
light when baked. 1t ranks second
in Importance to wheat flour as a
breadstuff.
Corn meal is rich in fat, and
makes nutritious pancakes, johnny
cakes and gems. but these dry so
quickly that they must be eaten
fresh.
Graham flour is simply wheat
meal, the entire grain ground to
powder.
The so called whole wheat" is
made by mixing good middling and
low grade flours. 1t is not SO
coarse of graham, not so fine as
the white flours.
When made with milk, bread con-
tains larger percentage OF pro-
teids and fats than when made
with water. In different regions,
different ways of making bread
are popular. Each housewife be-
lieves she has some especially val
liable way of mixing or kneading,
but these differences are really not
important.
WHITE BREAD
Sift one quart of flour. add a
tablespoon each of sugar and butter
or lard, and pour over one pint hot
water and one pint scalded milk.
When lukewarm add one half

ter. Beat 10 minutes. Cover and
set in warm GO degrees F. place
two quarts sailed flour, knead well,
and rise again until double the

| mented. Next a thick sponge is
made of wheat flour, hot water and
salt. These are thoroughly knead-
ed together and set In a warm place
for several hours. Mold into loaves
and let rise, bake. Such bread is
| comparatively free from acidity.
MARYLAND BEATEN BISCUIT
A rather stiff dough is made from
flour and water, or milk with short
ening and salt added. 1t is kneaded
| and then beaten or pounded and
frequently turned over and over un.
til it looks light and puffy. The
biscuits are then shaped and baked
The folding and pounding of the
dough incloses small quantities of
air in numberless little blisters.
These expand in baking and make
the biscuit light and porous.

CLEAN FURs BEFORE THEY'RE PUT AWAY

Now Is the time to clean your
furs, as they should never be put
away in soiled condition. After a
long winters wear furs always look
old and lusterless.
Free all the long-haired furs Of
their matted look by means of a
coarse comb, shaking the garments
from time to time. Then pin them
on line out of doors, and beat the
backs with a small rattan beaten,
using a gentle motion, so that the
fur will not be injured.
II the fur still looks dingy rub 1t

and at the same time the most nu-
tritious loaf Of bread depends on
letting the fermentation continue
just long enough to avoid sogginess
and heaviness and no further. This
is one of the common and most I'M
desirable faults in bread, which can
be prevented by watchfulness.
Among the earliest experiments
to test the question of what kind
OF bread furnishes the greatest
amount of digestable nutrients. :"
were those conducted by Meyer and
Volt In Munich 80 years ago. They
reached the conclusion, and all lat

heard again, as on that first day.
Without word, her gloves came
off, and she tossed the red leaves
over the piano, and. as involuntar-
lily, started a favorite sonata.
The music master forgot himself
so far this time that he buried his
face in the leaves. He
was not young man. and she-she
was love and peace and the old
Content-and youth. Presently
hand was laid on his shoulder,
and he heard, Il know know
