how to make bread as it ought to
be made.
That seems like a big state
ment, for we have been bread
making for many thousand years,
and every woman who bakes is
positive that she knows just how
to do it, and that her bread is
good and wholesome.
But Mrs. Sharpless has proved
that every method used is wrong.
For the one thing that every wo-
man thinks is essential to good
bread-making is the thing she
must avoid-the bread must not
be kneaded.
And as for wholesomeness-
the bread that mother used to
make was deadly to anyone
whose digestion was not good.
Mother didn't know how. to
make bread. Wife didn't know,
the bakers didn't know, the doc
tors didn't know And the doc
tors admitted it.
Love and wifely devotion led
Mrs. Sharpless to make the great
discovery.
The day book., 1913-01-16

Her husband became very i'll,
He was a great bread eater. The
doctor forbade it.
''Why?" asked Mrs. Sharpless.
81 bake it myself"
The doctor smiled. "All bread
is dangerous. There isn't loaf
baked that is fit to put in hui
man stomach unless that stomach
is unusually strong" he said.
"But why?"
Because of the raw starch it
contains. Raw starch in bread is
bad. To hosts of people it is
deadly. And 90 per cent of the
starch in your bread is raw" -
Then Mrs. Sharpless began to
study. She read everything there
was in Philadelphia on bread and
wheat. Then she went to Bos-
ton and exhausted the capacity s
of the great public library there.
She studied chemistry, and ex- q
amined all kinds of bread and
flour under the. microscope. Ten
years of. the hardest sort of work .
she put in on the problem.
She found that in the ordinary

Des Moines. July S.-The fluctuations
and the uncertainties of the fire in
surance business are made manifest
BY comparison of some figures found
IN the last rencr. CT State Auditor
week ana some previous reports.
This year again as last year the fire
insurance companies doing business in
Iowa paid back TO the policy holders
on losses a little more than half of
what they took for doing the business,
but not quite as great percentage
as the Year before. In other words.
for every dollar received for fire in
surance the companies paid 53.2 cents
back on losses.
1t has been declared repeatedly that
the outside companies are able, under
conditions as they exist, to do better
| than the Iowa companies. The sta
tistics show that the Iowa companies
are more prosperous than their COM
petitors for they have to pay back but
AIS per cent of their premiums re-
ceived. while the outsiders pay back
56.3 per cent. The average for all is
52.2 per cent.
Better in Other Years.
But these percentages are compare
lively high, for in some previous years
the companies saved even more of
their income. Below will be found a
showing of the percentage of losses
actually paid to premiums received In
each year since 1904 inclusive. the
Iowa fire companies and the non-lowa
companies being divided:
Iowa fire comprehension 1904, 36.l
per cent; for 1905, 4O.4; for 1906, S1.1;
for 1907, 1854: for 1905, S66; for 1909,
37.5: for 1910. 37.S; for 1911, 42.4; for
1912. AS.
Non-Iowa companies-For 1904, 42.3;
for 1905, $50: for 1906, 369: for 1917,
$50; for 1908. 4O.3: for 1909. 25.4; TOR
1910. 46.7; for 1911, 61.3; for 1912,
56.3.
Losses Show increase.
II will be seen from the above that
the percentage of losses paid to cash
received has; been steadily increasing
with the Iowa companies since 1906;
but as to the outsiders there has been
great variation in the percentage.
The Iowa fire companies wrote risks
amounting to s191,491.000 In 1872 as
against SS,3S2,000 the year before:
The non-lowa companies wrote RISKS
amounting to si43.109.OOo as against
