Tottie had already spied the vioIets

pointed at them with her paw. Miss

Facts About

By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK

4 T a home economics convention
~ was presented recently an ex-
cellent paper on breadmaking,
which was the condensed re-
suits of several months tests on bread.
Some of the results found were that:
First-It is not the time expended on
the kneading which makes bread of
light texture, but the kind of motion,
which should be long, strong and
even motion.
Second-The flour and ingredients
should be kept warm during mixing.
and the flour preferably warmed be-
fore using.
Third-Bread should not be allowed to
rise in the oven, but put in when COM
pletely risen.
Fourth-The best temperature at
which to bake 1t is $50 degrees for ten
minutes; 1S0-2S5 degrees for fifteen min
utes; us degrees for twenty minutes.
Fffth-The best proportions are, to
make most successful bread: Three and
one-haf cups (rounded) OF flour, one
cup Of water, one tablespoonful sugar,

geese i stopped in the middle Of
the piece They asked me to play
again. but I told them 1 wasn't
playing for the walls. and they
couldn't coax me to play.
Later in the evening a dear little
didn't talk and laugh, asked me to
play for her and 1 played "Trau-
meref'-for her alone.

A PRISONER woke his guards in
~ the old, old prison in the old.
n old city Of Rome the other
night.
He screamed at the top of his voice:

And two days later it turned out that,

Doubtless hundreds OF prisoners have

LAW MAKES JAIL
TERM MANDATORY.

The most drastic penal law en-,
acted by the General Assembly il
1914 apparently has escaped the
observation of officers as well AZ
yiolators throughout the state. IN
amending the local option law Ia,
General Assembly changed the
conjunction "Or" to and" in
the penalty Ter bootlegging, de-
priving courts of the discretion OF
filming or imprisoning those
found guilty of this offense. ana
making the penalty a fine and
Imprisonment.
This little change wasIost sight
of in the more extensive amend
ments to the law. The old penalty
was a fine of 500 to 800 or 10 To
10 days in Jail, or both. The a.
mended law fixes the penalty at
$50 to SlO0 fine and 20 to 40
days in Jail.
