This is how | did my bread baking.
| first made yeast by taking one table
spoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of
sugar and II ~teaspoonful of ginger.
Then | poured water off from one boil
ed and mashed potato, making one
teaspoonful of -four, stirring we'll to
remove all Jumps. When cool | thin
ned this to the thickness of ordinary
yeast, and then dissolved one and one
half yeast cakes and stirred them in.
| kept my yeast in a arm place for
twenty-four hours and then it was
ready for use.
Next | took two quarts of luke
warm water and put one half of the
yeast into it. | stirred this to the
thickness of cake dough, beat thor
oughly, covered and put in a warm
place to rise again. When light ]
made it into loaves and put in a well
creased pan. When very light | bak-
ed it in a moderate oven for n hour.
When done l took it put of the oven
and had a little syrup made and put
on the bread to give it a glossy ap-
pearance.
Eggs, good butter, (not too salty
fine granulated sugar and pastry -four
are essential to good cake baking.
Coarse granulated sugar produces a
hard crust and coarse texture. Pas
try -four makes a lighter cake than
bread. If bread flour must be used,
into each cupful put two te%aspoonfuls
of corn starch.
Before making the cake you should
have all necessary things handy. The
-four, salt, baking powder, and sugar
should all be measured and sifted. The
pans should be lined with buttered
paper to prevent burning. The eggs
should be broken and ready. The open
should be at the desired heat as soon
as the cake is to be put into it. Laye,
cakes and small cakes require a hotter
oven than large cakes.

CONCLUSIONS MADE IN
GERMANY"

At a dinner given in his honor in
Manhattan, recently, Ambassador
Gerard had something to say about
the eight-hour day. He came here
on visit from country the people
of which work ten or twelve hours a
day, and in which many women work
as laborers. With these toilers those
of this country will again be in ac-
tive competition after the war. Then
the great difference in the cost of
production will begin to assert it
self, to the advantage of those who
do the longer days work.
Of course, the high rate Of wages
here prevailing will be another po-
tent factor, accentuating the differ
ence in the cost referred to. Mr..
Gerard asked how are we to avoid,
being outrun in the race, presuming
our present rates of pay are to be
maintained; also that the eight-hour
day be provided for by law. In his
judgment, it will be necessary for the
Government of this country to give
to its manufacturer and its working
man scientific protection" Other
wise they will be distanced in the
race.--Brooklyn Eagle.

NOT EASY SAILING

It will not be easy sailing for the
Adamson law if the plans of the rail-
way managers are carried out. AL
ready the principal railroads of the
country have filed bills for injunc-
ton seeking to restrain the enforce
ment of the law as Unconstitutional
violative of all civil and property
rights, unreasonable, and an arbitrary
invasion of private rights that would
deprive the railroads Of their liberty,
rights and property without due pro-
cess of law The managers of the
railroads have announced that they
intend to apply for injunctions
against the law in every federal dis
trict court in the United States, with
a separate suit in behalf of every
one Of the 200 railroads in every dis
trict which it enters.
