The NEW BREAD That Is NOT KNEADFn

" PROGRESSIVE housekeepers who wish
to eliminate all useless labor and Sc
cure the most nourishing food are cook
ing new kind of bread. This new bread is
prepared without any kneading.
The new departure is something more than
plan for avoiding tho laborious task OF
kneading the dough. The real reason for 1t
lies il the recently discovered fact that bread
which IS not kneadcd contains less raw starch
chan when prepared in the old way.
Raw starch is something to be avoided, for
ii is hard to digest and Is one of the fruitful
causes OF uric acid. Nine-tenths of the starch

in an ordinary loaf OF bread is entirely raw.
An intelligent Philadelphia housekeeper
stumbled upon the fact that kneading tho
bread dough forces this starchy matter into
the centre of the loaf where 1t is least affected
by the heat OF the oven Unless the outer
crust is baked to crisp 1t remains there an
nncooked. indigestible mass.
Examination of many loaves OF bread under
a microscope showed this to be true But it
