But Mrs. Sharpiess has
proved that every method
used is wrong. For the one
thing that every woman
thinks is essential to good
bread-making is the thing
she must avoid - THE
BREAD MUST NOT BE
KNEADED.
And as for wholesome
ness-THE BREAD THAT
WAS DEADLY to anyone
whose digestion was not
good.
Mother didn't know how tC
make bread. Wife didn't know
the bakers didn't know, the doc
tors didn't know. And the doc
tors admitted 1t.
Love and wifely devotion lee
Mrs. Sharpless to make the great
discovery.
Her husband became very i'll
He was a great bread eater. The
doctor forbade 1t.
"Why?" asked Mrs. Sharpless
"I bake 1t myself
The doctor smiled. Cali bread
is dangerous. There isn't a LOAF
= baked that is fit to put in
human stomach unless the stom
ach is unusually strong" he said
"But why?"
Because of the raw starch Il
contains. Raw starch in bread
is bad. To hosts of people 1t II
deadly. And 80 per cent of the
starch in your bread is raw"
Then Mrs. SharplesS began t.
study. She read everything there
was in Philadelphia on bread
and wheat. Then she went tt
Boston and exhausted the capac
fly of the great public library
there. She studied chemistry
and examined all kinds Of breat
and flour under the microscope
Ten years of the hardest sort o.
work she put in on the problem
She found that in the ordinar!
processes of making bread the
minute graduates Of starch IL
the wheat flour were gathered IL
small cells, hundreds of them II
a cell. They became coated will
gluten, gelatinous substance
which formed the cells, and wer
protected so carefully that tn,
heat didn't cook them or breal
them open. All manner of ex
periments were tried, but raw
starch remained In the bread.
Finally Mrs. Sharpless got
"hunch" from the way a paper
hanger mixed his flour for paste
She mixed her flour, water
yeast, etc., as quickly and lightl
as possible. Then she set
aside to "raise."
When the mixture was
"raised," she did not knead
1t. She merely shaped it
into loaves quickly and deft-

CLEANING GAME.

To remove feathers from game
of any kind dip in boiling water,

SALTY HAM.

When soaking salty ham add
a tablespoonful of molasses TO

BROKENHEART.

Any boy, this seems a hard
experience, l know; but really
you have no right to expect a
girl to make a god of you, and
you make yourself miserable be-
cause she does not.
On the other hand, she
should be considerable, and try to
help you over this hard place.
But, if she does not see it that
way, don't let it keep you from
being a man, and better company
will be given you if you deserve
1t. Root out all the jealousy
and hurt feeling, and you will
become clear-sighted enough not
to allow the absence of one per-
son to spoil your opportunities.
If you two truly love, you will
be happy although thousands of
miles apart.

A Terse Little Poem


Below is little poem, sent
by one of our readers. 1t is full
of meat for thought and well
worth remembering and using
for daily reminder throughout
the New Year.
If we could know each others
thoughts
And feel the pain another bears;
If we could see with others
eyes,
And shed another's bitter tears,
We might forgive an unkind
word
And be more thoughtful of our
own;
We then could see as we are
And know ourselves as we are
known.
If we could live our lives again
And know the past, from youth
to age;
If we could be re-write our
book,
And cancel many furnished
page,
How much we'd do we've left
4 undone,
And undo more we did before!
How white would be the leaves
that now
By sins are blackened Ger and
