 vision:
 Reports are current that knitted articles, particularly socks, made for soldiers by Red Cross Chapters, branches and auxiliaries, have been sold to the public in shops or di- rect to the soldiers.
 We cannot believe such a thing possible, but invite evidence suffi- cient to take before the United States District Attorney and we will gladly give instructions to vigor- ously prosecute.
 Similar stories have been pre- viously started throughout the East but when followed up have been found to be without foundation. Doubtless investigation here will meet the same result

INTERNATIONAL WAR
 ON ALASKA BOAT

According to word which reached Juneau on one of the last boats from the south, an international war took place in the steerage of one of the Alaska liners southbOund re gently. The fight occurred with the Chinese cannery hands on one hand and the Japanese on the oth CT.
 A dispute over the amount of food to be served angered the Chin csc and they made a rush for the Japanese in the steerage who put up a desperate fight. The Chinese bombarded the Japanese with cups saucers and plates, clearing the ta bles of all the dishes they could get their hands on. The lombard ment was answered from the Jap anese quarter of the steerage, and soon the air was full of all sorts of missiles. The international com plications were only settled after the entire crew had taken hand in parting the combatants.

HAVE BEST BREAD
THAT MADE At HOME SUPERIOR
TO BAKERS.
When Yeast Is In Good Condition II Is
Not a Matter Of Difficulty to Turn
Out a Splendid Article
Some Hints.

bulletin of University of Missouri.)
Homemade bread, If well made, is to
be preferred over bakers bread, ac-
cording to Miss Addie ID. Root of the
Missouri College of Agriculture. The
condition of the yeast used In bread
making Is more important than the
kind of yeast. If yeast is allowed to
stand in a dusty place or is put into an
unsterilized vessel, it will collect bac-
terra and the bread will have Il our,
unpleasant taste. All utensils n
liquids should be scalded before using.
Yeasts are small plants which need
mir. Flour. therefore, should be added
slowly and beaten into the liquid thor
oughly to incorporate air. Sugar is
food for the yeast plant and If given to
II will hasten its growth.
If dough is too stiff, a harsh, crumbly
bread results. The least AMOUNT of
flour possible to avoid IL sticky dough,
gives the best bread.
The quick even stroke in kncading
counts for more ,han the strength put
into it,. A thorough kneading dis
tributes 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 n smooth velvety
surface. If kneadcd longer than 30
minutes. the elastic quality is com
pletely destroyed.
Yeast plants thrive at Il temperature
of from 70 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
When dough IS set to rise, 1t SHOULD
be placed in n clean bowl. If the bowl
Is covered tightly and an even temper
ature maintained, it is not necessary
either to oil or moisten the surface to
prevent Il crust from forming. If 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 n gentle, warm. ever tempera-
ture until it is twice its bulk, and then
worked.
BlklnS requires us iHucn cure us
mixing, kneading and rising. The EN-
perature of the over should be 300
degrees Fahrenheit when the bread is
placed in it. 1t should be allowed to
rise after fifteen minutes and lowered
after thirty minutes. The bread should
begin to brown in patches during the
first fifteen minutes and should have
an even, brown surface after thirty
minutes. If the dough is not twice its
may be allowed to finish rising in the
oven.
