SEEKS TO ADJUST
PROPERTY RIGHTS
Charles B. Taylor of Ottawa in
City with Reference to goth
Street Building.

I'VE are not opposing the Fifth ave-
nue. paving improvement in the least"
said Charles B. Taylor of Ottawa, rep
resenting the property interest at the
corner of Twentieth street and Fifth
avenue, to an Argus representative
last evening "All we have asked is
that sewer connections be put into
our property before the paving is
laid" Mr.. Taylor continued, land OIL
this account we interposed objections
to the pavement, but l understand
these objections have been oyerruled
and the Improvement is to proceed"
Mr.. Taylor, who represents one of
Rock Islands oldest families, is here
to adjust, if possible, the situation as
it involves the brick building on the
east side of Twentieth street north of
Fifth avenue which is tumbling down.
The building is connected with anoth-
er structure, and Mr.: Taylor has met
with complications in removing what
belongs to him as there is only one
wall between. He is in position to
sell his own property or buy that ad-
joining and thus he hopes to adjust
the situation.
The entire building ought to be de-
molished and a modern structure
erected on the corner. 1t is one of the
best sites in the city for an up-to-date
fat tuilding.

nance cards printed for distribution, the

finds itself at a temporary standstill.

cards left over from their districts,
they will Bleaso return them to the

until she began to prick up her ears
about everything pertaining to pure
food. Now if she is reading the
LABEL she is learning to be discrimi-
mating in buying the food which con-
tains the ingredients she is paying
for and will give her the best results
for body building.
So, after all is said, all these re-
forms in food are up to the house
keeper. She must refuse to buy bleach
ed flour or bread made from it, or
peas colored with sulphate of copper
or catsup containing benzoate of soda.
Then none of these things will be
done.

Materials-Milk, two cups; water,
two cups; salt, two teaspoo <sIls; but

one tablespoonful; yeast, one cake;
sugar, one tablespoonful; unbleached

! Direct:ons-MiX all the ingredients

and bring to the scalding point; cool
until lukewarm. Soak the yeast In
one-half cup of luke warm water un-

adding five cups of flour.
Turn until very light and thoroughly

or seven cupfuls of flour and knead in
the maker 10 minutes. Set in a tenn
perature of 6S to 20 degrees, and
where there are no draughts, and let
rise until light or about two hours.
Shape into loaves. Let rise until
they double their bulk, and bake as
directed in preceding recipe. If one
prefers the taste OF bread made from
longer fermentation use less yeast

wish to hasten the process two or
even three yeast cakes may be used
to the same amount of liquid.

promised not to bleach their fiours.
The editor makes this statement:
