Home-Made Bread Best.

Home made bread, if we'll made, is
to be preferred over bakers bread,
according to Miss Addie D. Root of
the Missouri College of Agriculture.
The condition of the yeast used in
bread making is more important than
the kind of yeast. Ifyeast is allowed
to stand in a dusty place or is put into
an unsterilized vessel, it will collect
bacteria and the bread will have a
sour, unpleasant taste. All utensils
and liquids should be scalded before
using.
Yeasts are small plants which ueed
air. Flour, therefore, should be. add
ed slowly and beaten into the liquid
thoroughly to incorporate air. Sugar
is food for the yeast plant and if Civ
en- it will hasten it growth.
If dough is too stiff, harsh, crumb-
ly bread results. The least amount of
-four possible to avoid sticky dough,
gives the best bread.
The quick even stroke in kneading
counts for more than the strength
put into it. A thorough kneading
distributes the yeast plants evenly
throughout the dough and results in
bread Of the best texture as the gas
bubbles rise evenly. Dough should
be kneaded until it has smooth vel
vety surface. If kneaded longer than
thirty minutes, the elastic quality is
completely destroyed.
Yeast plants thrive at temperature
of from 70 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
When dough is set to rise, it should
be placed in clean bowl. II the bowl
is covered tightly and an even tenn
perature maintained, it is not neces-
sary either to oil or moisten the surface
to prevent crust from forming. II
the temperature is too high, the bread
will be dark, coarse, and sour. If the
dough is chilled while rising, the
volume will be smaller, the texture
rubbery, and an undesirable crust will
form. Best results are obtained when
dough is kept at gentle, warm, even
temperature until it is twice its bulk,
and then worked.
Baking requires as much care as
linking, kneading, and rising. The
temperature of the oven should be
800 degrees Fahrenheit when the
bread is placed in it, 1t should be al
lowed to rise after fifteen minutes
and lowered after thirty minutes.
The bread should begin to brown in
patches during the first fifteeen min
utes and should have an even brown
surface after thirty minutes. II the
dough is not twice its original bulk or
as light as desired, 1t may be allowed
to finish rising in the oven.

Socialists to Meet.

The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. 18.-
AS many as IA different national Sec
tions are being invited to take part ins
the Socialist conference of entente
countries which is being organized by
the Socialist Internationale of this
city, namely, Britain, France, Italy,
Portugal, Canada, Australia and New
Zealand. The delegates of the entente
Socialists are to meet in London,
probably in January hexs, the con-
ference having been called on the
initiative of the party in France.
More significance naturally attaches
to the decisions which may be arrived
at than was the case with the less in
luential conference of neutral Social
lists held at The Hague some months
since.
The program, as published here,
aims at establishing common action
with view to directing the policy of
their respective countries in the dl-
rection of nonannexation, the guar :
anteeing of the rights of the nations
by international institutions, and the
exclusion from all economic treaties
of everything that would contain the
germs of flesh conflicts. 1t will be re-
called that while the international
Socialist Bureau is still in touch with
the parties of the central empires as
we'll as of the entente countries, it has
not yet succeeded in its ultimate OBJ
ject of bringing all Socialist parties
together again on common agreed
policy in regard to the war. 1t is
doubtless hoped that the coming Lon
don conference will bring the desired
goal nearer.

Springfield Court of Appeals Judgeship
tDunkiin County Democrat.)

(Dunklln county Democrat.)
Judge Argus Cox, contestee, on
December 7th, filed his answer in the
supr me court, at Jefferson City, in
the election contest brought by John
II. Bradley of this city for the office
of judge Of the Springfield court of
appeals.
Judge Cox in his answer practically
admits every contention of the con-
testant, except that the voters r.
Maries county who voted for johnson
intended to vote for the Democratic
nominee, which contention he specific
ally denies. At the time of filing his
answer, Judge Cox filed a motion
which requests the court to pass upon
the competency of voter testifYing
as to what he intended to do when he
cast ballot. If the court holds that
it is competent for voter to so tes-
tify, it will pave the way for Bradley
to win.
If, however, the court rules that
this testimony is not competent and
that Bradley cannot prove what the
voters intended, then that will end
the matter and Bradley will lose.
The court gave each side ten days
to prepare and file briefs on the mo-
tion, and after briefs are filed will
pass on same in due time. How soou
it is hard to tell, but it is presumed
they will announce their decision in
reasonable time.
If the court holds that the testi-
mony of the voters as to their inten-
tion is competent, then commission.
er will be appointed to take evidence
and report to the court.
The court will certainly find some
way to see that justice is meted out
to all parties, and if it does, Bradley
will get the Office, as all must admit
that but for an inexcusable blunder
on the part of the county clerk oi
Maries county, his election would not
be questioned; and it is hard to con-
ceive ofa man holding such an inn
portant Office contrary to the will oil
the voters of the district, as would
be the case should Judge Cox be al
lowed to assume the position.

$25, 900 Fire at Bonne Terre.
Fiat River News. !

(Fldl hlNer NeWS.I
A fire entailipg an estimated loss of
about $25, 900 occurred at Bonne Terre
Sunday morning. The fire, which is
supposed to be of incendiary origin,
started in room occupied by M.
Cohen as dry goods store. Cohen is
suspected Of being responsible for the
fire. A warrant charging him with
arson was sworn out for his arrest by
s. A. Holdman. Cohen was placed
under arrest and lodged in Jail at
Pennington.
Cohen conducted his business under
the name of the Peoples Bargain
Store. He has been in the Lead Belt
a little more than a year. For several
months last winter he conducted a
store in Flat. River, near Squire Mar
tins office. He bears an unsavory
reputation. This was probably re-
sponsible for his arrest as the charge
that he set fire to bis stock does not
seem to be we'll founded by reason of
the fact that he carried no insurance.
He had made several efforts to obtain
insurance but had been refused by
Bonne Terre agents. His store had
been on fire at least twice before the
Sunday fire, On both occasions the
fire is alleged to have originated from
an oil stove which he used for cooking
purposes in the rear Of his store.
Before the fire Sunday was gotten
under control the Brokenshire build
ing was destroyed, the Wells Mercan-
tile Company had partly burned, a
hole had been burned in the roof of
the @. W, Ward store building adjoin-
ing and several buildings across the
street had been scorched and the
glass plate in the store fronts ruined
by the heat.

The right to continue the business
of liquor selling so as to minimize the
evils of drink or to meet an emer-
gency in the public interest cannot be
denied, but to carry this control into
prohibitions Of any authorized manu-
facture or sale or use of liquor and
thus to attempt to regulate personal
conduct is wrong in principle and vi
! cious in practice. 1t enaots the spirit
ofintolerance into law and puts an
impossible and evil-producing task on
/ government.
The subject Of handling ihtoxicanta
ought not be left either to those who
have pecuniary interest in it or
to those who have a political in
terest, or to hysterical evangellsts and
campaigners who appeal to prejudice
and emotion without regard to prin-
clples or consequences. The danger
OF bad effects on government and the
individual is too grave.
A question so vital to the welfare OF
the people and to the maintenance OF
law, order and good government
should be examined carefully and in
diligently. Governmental action
should be based upon wise conclusions
in the light of principles, facts and
human experience.

Mrs. Helen M. johnson.

On Friday morning September 1st,
this village suffered the loss of a
long time resident in the death of
Mrs. Helen M. Johnson, wife of the
veteran railway mail clerk. Born in
Charleston, Vermont, on October 8,
1848, the daughter of John and Ann
Catherine Bly,, on the BLY, farm which
had been cleared from forests by her
ancestors, she early learned the ways
of thrift and New England house
wifery.
She was married to Elhenan F.
Johnson on January l 1877, and they
located in this village where they
made true home, rearing two sons,
Charles E. and Harry B., to become
worthy citizens. By her strong per-
sonality and strict attendance to her
home duties, she exerted a good in
f1uence among her associates and
neighbors and was ever ready to
support any charitable of public en-
terprise having been particularly
interested in the funds which were
raised to improve the old cemetery
and purchase the town clock.
Besides her husband and two sons,
brother, Edward Bly,, and two sis
tiers, Mrs. Charles E. Corruth and
Mrs. Lizzie Buck, are still living of
her immediate family. A clergyman
of her faith, Rev. A. P. Record of
Springfield, Mass, conducted the
funeral services which we're held in
her late home on Sunday afternoon,
and the interment was in the nearby
cemetery on Pleasant street.
