BREAD NOTES.

The favored few who live in the
country or in small towns often find
it impossible to find the fresh yeast,
so that 1t is necessary to provide
home made yeast which is always
wholesome, when well made. 1t Is q
good plan to have on hand a package
Of dry yeast cakes, and II they are
kept well protected from the air, will
keep for months. This dry yeast is
used as starter for the home grown
variety. As yeast is a plant, 1t should
be treated as such. 1t needs heat,
moisture and food as do all plants.
When preparing potatoes cook saough
full Of mashed potato for the yeast.
To this mashed potato add pint of
boiling water, tablespoonful of sugar,
land when cool enough stir in a little
flour, two or three tablespoonful will
be sufficient. Then add the yeast
Pp OF warm water. Stir and let
schQd until the yeast is full Of bubbles,
over night or a day, then 1t is ready
for use. Take half cupful for four
loaves Of bread and put the remainder
in mason jar well sealed. This yeast
win keep in cool place until it is all
used. In the summer weather Keep it
on ice. In using this yeast when work
ing out recipes which call for com
pressed yeast, take half a cupful OF
the liquid yeast for yeast cake in
amount.
A pretty little biscuit to serve for
occasions is the clover leaf. Make the
biscuit out Of the rich bread dough as
usual and make the biscuit into very
small balls, putting three into each
well creased pattypan, greasing each
biscuit we'll when putting it in. When
they are risen and baked they viii be
ia the form of three leaf clover. To
carry this idea farther the butter balls
on the plate or butter squares. if you
please, may have pretty spray with
clover blossom on each butter plate.
Bread should feel buoyant in the
hand before putting the loaves into
the oven.

MORE ABOUT FRUITS.

As the pineapple is next to the cit
rus fruits in value when in good con-
dition we need to remember It's worth
and use It as often as our purses will
allow. IT is rich in mineral salts.
which with its sugar and the large
percentage of water. purify the sys-
tenn and soothe the stomach. ANY one
who has eaten large amount Of the
acid pineapple knows that it will eat
into the mucous membrane of the
mouth, thus showing its activity. 1t
contains a vegetable counterpart to
the gastric juice which will digest raw
beef or an egg when mixed with IT..
This ananasine is also active with
either acids or alkaline carbonates.
Those who have tried to use 1t with
gelatin will remember that much
larger quantity of gelatin must be used
to thicken the material when pineapple
Is used, because of this digestive prin-
ciple which acts on the gelatin and
deprives 1t of its thickening power.
Pineapple juice is recommended by
physicians as a gaTgle in case of sore
throat and even diphtheria; 1t is also
extremely healing in catarrhal affec-
tfons.

The medicinal value OF the raspber-
ry is not fully appreciated as 1t ranks
with the strawberry as valuable in
liver and equity troubles. These fruits
contain a large per cent Of citric acid

that strawberries disagree with them
will find the addition of bit of red
pepper will prevent the difficulties Of
digesting them: and they may also
be made acceptable to the system II

to be especially valuable for kidney

VALUABLE NUT DISHES.

An agreeable change from the hear
ty meats will be the combination of
nuts with vegetables, making most APP
petizing dishes. When we get little
better acquainted with the food value
OF nuts there will be more use made
Of them
Lima Beans With Nuts-Soak cup
full Of lima beans in cold water over
night. In the morning rinse well and
slip of the skins, put into bean pot
with plenty Of water, salt to season

slow oven. a small piece of onion may
be added to give flavor and other sea-
sonings like mustard or bit of mo-
lasses If liked may be added. The
nuts, if ground. may be added just be-
fore taking UP, stir in well and serve.
Nut Parsnip Stew-Wash, scrape
and slice two good sized parsnips, cook
until perfectly soft, In two quarts Of
water. When nearly done add tea
spoon OF salt and two tablespoonfuis
each of -four and butter mixed togeth-
err cook until smooth then add cup
full of chopped nut meats and serve.

der to remove all skins. and mix with

Preacher Who Took Poison Says
He Will Devote Life to Ad-

mum dose which he took in futile
attempt to end his life in the ONCE
of public stenographer in the Fourth
National Bank Building, the Rev.
Robert j. Huff, a Baptist minister of
College Park, Wednesday issued a
warning to all young men to beware
of debt
81 want The Georgian to tell young
men for me to keep out of debt and
live within their income, for it was
an awful burden of debt, with which
I have peen overwhelmed for fourteen
years, that forced me to make this
terrible attempt on my life," said the
minister, in faint and tremulous
tones. Debt means nothing but mis-
cry and trouble"
Always the Handicap of Debt.
With a wife and nine children to
feed and clothe, Huff said, he had
found it impossible TO escape from
the dreaded specter of debt with the
meager salaries he drew for his
preaching and in his efforts at
livelihood in other lines of work. He
had striven hard to keep the wolf
from the door, he said, but had made
failure Finally, when life at last
seemed an utter blank, he sought
death as a panacea for his troubled
mind and crushed spirits.
Fluff explained that he was forced
to go in debt fourteen years ago when
he went to school to prepare himself
for his life's work, and that, no mat

as to whether he again would try to

as he shook his head gravey.
