cup of cold water over night, or at

lies dormant while under water. When
ready to use pour off the water; the
yeast will have settled in bottom Of
cup. Now add spoonful of sugar,

the chloroform route is chosen. In

buy the chloroform?'
Ingenious bystanders expect the po'
liceman to buy it, but he rarely lives
