HOMEMADE BREAD CHEAPER.
Twice as Many loaves at tho Same
Cost as When Bought


Bread is the staff OF life. and bread
properly made is gastr0nonlic JOY.
In many households there Is need Of
Information on the subject, and help
full suggestions should be welcome.
A bulletin issued by the Kentucky
agricultural experiment station sub
mits two recipes for making yeast
bread There is an idea among house
wives. II is asserted. that yeast bread
is difficult to make and that ii is about
as cheap TO buy the bakers product.
The bulletin says this idea is entirely
erroneous since "twice rs many loaves
Of bread may be made mt home for the
same money that is paid for the bak-
er's bread. and there is no difficulty
about baking If few simple rules are
followed" Directions are then given
IN detail as to the modus operandi In
preparing and baking.
On the face OF it breadmaking seems
to be rather simple process. but the
makers OF good bread are in woeful
minority, and the varieties of the prod
uct that are encountered are almost
as numerous ms the households in
which they are made. The cookboolis
and the household departments of the
newspapers abound in recipes for
good bread"
The kentucky experiment station Is
doing good service in branching ont
into domestic science. says the Louis
willie Courier Journal There Is ol'por-
tunity for some beneficial educational
work in that direction.

WOman's Section of the Paper
TWO ECONOMY HINTS.

Net from old curtains can be used TO
advantage by cutting It into the desired
size and stitching several squares to-
gether. This makes excellent wash
cloths.
In order to save your ice bills put a
piece of thickly folded newspaper un-
der the Ice and one folded not quite so
thick on top Of the Ice. The newspaper
under the Ice not only protects the Ice
from the air, but catches the dirt from
the Ice. The paper can be lifted from
under the ice carefully and the dirt re-
moved, thus preventing the accumula-
ton of slime on the bottom Of the ice
chest. The top paper also protects the
ice from the air and makes 1t possible
to set dishes right on the Ice without
slipping.

MOUSE PROVED USEFUL.
Helped to String Wire Through
Marrow Pipe.

Not long ago there was accomplished
I'm n western city mechanical feat
which nj first had baflled the several
electricians having the task in hanu'
but which eventually was effected with
the aid of n mouse
The men were engaged in stringing
wires In new building. and they
wished 10 force certain of them through
pipe 1aT feet long. Now. this pipe
Ind a sharp turn in 1t. circumstance
that rendered useless the usual meth-
DDS ndopted to get the wires through.
First the men endeavored to blow a
tapelinc through the pipe. but to no
avail. Then they tried to force the
tape through with water. This. too'
was failure by reason of the sharp
bend III the pipe line.
After long squabble some one sug-
rested that mouse he employed 10
carry the string through the pipe. Ac-
cordingly after some difficulty mouse
was captured and put to work. a
thread was tied to the little creatures
, leg. II was placed in the mouth OF
the pipe and given decided impetus
with n Whit of compressed mir.
II was not more than n minute or 20
before the rodent appeared ut the 9TH
or end of the pipe with the thread
The rest of the work was easy. The
thread drew the tape through the pipe
and the tape pulled the electric wires.

FUTURE, W0MANLY BEAUTY.
individuality Will Be Keynote Of
Charm, Says This Author.


While NJ. Jules Bots Is sketching for
us the new wife a confrere is examin-
ing the conditions and ingulrlng into
the changes that we may expect to
characterize the physical effort OF the
new feminine product. Under the title
Of ia Beaute de In Femme Nouvelle"
NJ. Jean Flnot contributes n striking
article to La Revue. tracing the evolu-
ton OF feminine beauty, in the course
OF which he fairly states his own the
DRY that we are still under the infu-
ence Of those Greek ideals and con-
ceptions which. so he asserts. have Of
ten become untrue and inslncere for
the modern.
The modern ideal Of beauty has Its
evolution, like every other element,
and after passing through various his
torical phases and running counter to
our precOnceivcd views will emerge In
an increased individuality Of express
sion. interpreting differences OF char
acter and intellect. With this individ-
uality there will come. according to NJ.
Flnot. greater individuality OF dress,
the finer personal differences AMI dis
tnctions being thus cccentuated.
The author. so far from sharing the
belief that the outward aspect of the
woman OF the future will become more
virile. insists that this personal quail
ity will mean greater fineness and dis
tlnction. Woman will prefer "une
grandc anne" in place Of being the ex-
pensive animal Of whom Plautus said,
"The two most costly things in the
world to equip are ship and u wo-
man."-London Athenaeum.
