FOR RELIABLE WHITE BREAD
Advantage In Mixing the Dough Early
In the Mornlng-Then 1t Win
Not Rise Too Much.

The best time to mix bread is early
In the morning. This gives an oppor-
tunity to see that the dough does not
rise too much. Overrising lis one of
the principal causes of failure in bread
baking, This is often the case when
mixed IN the evening and allowed to
rise all night. With an even tenn
perature the dough should be raised
and ready for the pans In three hours,
and In less than five hours from the
time of mixing the rounded, shapely
loaves should be out of the over rest
ing on the cooler"
Dissolve one whole yeast cake in one
half cupful of warm water, scald 11s
cupfuls of milk, to which add butter
the size of an egg, one tablespoonful
of sugar and one tablespoonful salt.
When the butter Is dissolved and milk
lukewarm, add the dissolved yeast
cake and stir all into six coffee cup
fuls of bread flour, add warm water
to make stiff enough to mold.

When risen to the top of the bowl stir

again; it should now only require a

divide into four parts. putting two Of
the sections into each well-buttered
baking pan. The pans should be about

GIRLS ON STRIKE
At CIGAR FACTORY
Protest Against Recent Change
Made in Foremanships and
Superintendency at Plant.

Fourteen hundred girls and wom-
en- quit work voluntarily or involun-
tarily this morning, when the Perth
Amboy Cigar Company's factory at
Neville and Johnstone streets closed.
Several hundred girls and women re-
fused to go to work this morning, as
an effective protest against the re-
cent change made in the foreman
ships and superintendency of the fac
tory. So many refused to begin
work at o'clock that the manage
ment decided to shut the plant for
the day. General Manager David
Haupt left early this morning for
New York, and but little could be
learned as the cause of the walk-out
by those In authority at the plant.
1t was admitted that there had been
some trouble in one department, af-
fecting 120 girls. 1t was learned,
however, from the employees that the
walk-out was caused by the change
of foremen and of superintendent,
they declaring that they would not
work under new men. The manage
ment agreed that the employees would
all return Monday, as did some of
the employees, who believe that the
old foremen and superintendent will
be returned.
