ing for it. The total vote was 202 to

TOGO MAKES INITIAL TALK.
Thanks Country for Hospitality in Ad
dress Before Press Club. @

Westinghouse brief speech, the
first hs has made since his stay
in this country, was made by Admiral
Count Togo before the National Press
club of Washington at the close of a
strenuous days program.
The admiral spoke in Japanese, his
remarks being interpreted by Lieuten-
ant Commander Taniguchi, his naval
aid. He said:
"Since my arrival in this country
the president of this great republic
has received me with the greatest hon
or and hospitality, your government
has extended to me innumerable cour-
tesies and your fellow citizens have
given me the most hearty welcome.
All these, I dare say, are more than
l am entitled to, and I take them as
meant toward my august sovereign
and for his subjects"

YEAST USED AS A FOOD
Can Be Made Into "a Tasty Paste"
to Be Spread on Bread, Accord
Ing to Authority.

The cleanest lager beer sometimes
contains numbers of yeast cells, says
Pure Products. Still larger numbers
are often found in ale and In Weiss
beer, which probably gives these bev-
erages some of their desirable proper
ties. But by far the largest amount
Of yeast which finds its way into the
human digestive system is introduced
with bakery goods which have been
made from -four.
Yeast is fungus and belongs to the
same family as the mushroom, for
which most people have distinct lik-
Ing. The age long use of yeast for
bread raising purposes proves that
this fungus is capable OF thoroughly
agreeing with the human organism. In
view Of this fact it is somewhat sur
prising that immense amounts of beer
yeast are annually allowed to go to
waste from every brewery in the coun-
try.
There are several circumstances
which have seemed to stand in the
way Of employing beer yeast in food
production. The two principal ones
are It's dark color and it's bitterness,
due to the simultaneous use of hops in
the brewing processes.
These properties of beer yeast, how
ever, may easily be removed. Beer
yeast is not suitable for baking pur-
poses because it grows in cold me-
dunn and does not possess a great
enough raising power for the purposes
of the baker. There is no question
about the nutritive value of yeast,
since weight for weight it is quite
comparable in nutritive value to the
best beer.
For direct consumption in the fresh
condition yeast must be put into a
suitable form. According to the meth
cd of Kleinschmidt, compressed yeast
which has been deprived of its bitter
substance may be melted with edible
fats, such as butter, the result being
Il very tasty paste which can be
spread directly on bread. Dry yeast
can be used in this same manner, and
experience has already shown that
the addition of yeast to certain sauces
and salad dressings is attended with
very favorable results. However, 1t IS
necessary that the question should re-
ceive thorough study from experts
on cooking

Team Tells of Torture.

Liberty, Mo.-Before large crowd,

women. Lafayette Choat, the farmer
who is accused Of tying his wife's
hands behind her and forcing her to

rowed his fields, was given his pre-
nminary hearing here.
Mrs. Choat barred her arms and
showed the judge the bruises which
she declared her husband had infiict-
ed by beating her with a club. She
said her husband had knocked her
down and after tying her hands made
her march with the mules while he
narrowed six times around a large
field.
The husband, who can neither read

and questioned his wife.
