Homemade bread, if well made. is to
be preferred over bakers bread, ac-
cording 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. If yeast is allowed to
stand in dusty place or is put into an
unsteriliZeJ vessel, it will collect bac-
terra and the bread will have sour,
unpleasant taste. All utensils and
liquids should be scalded before using.
Yeasts are small plants which need
air. 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
1t will hasten its growth.
If dough is too stiff, q harsh, crumbly
bread results. The least amount OF
flour possible to avoid q sticky dough,
gives the best bread.
The quick even stroke in kneadins
counts for more than 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 smooth velvety
surface. If knealed longer than 30
minutes, the elastic quality is COM
pletely destroyed.
Yeast plants thrive Mt temperature
of from 70 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
When dough is set to rise, it should
be placed in Il clean bowl. If the bowl
is covered tightly and an even temper
allure maintained, it is not necessary
either to Oil or moisten the surface to
prevent 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 a gentle. warm, even tempera-
ture until it is twice its bulk, and then
worked.
Baking requires as much care as
mixing, kneading and rising. The tenn
perature of the oven should be 800
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

EASTERN C0LORS WILL RULE
Gold to Be Very Much in Evidence in
the Ornamentations Of the
Coming Spring.

The colors for the coming spring
season have definitely been decided
upon, and it is not surprising, con-
sidering the Oriental inspiration for
the newest frOcks, that Eastern colOrs
with suggestive names will be the
vogue. For instance, there is Full
yama," named after the famous Japa-
bright gold. That gold is going to be
very much in evidence is proved by the
varieties OF this color. A dark gold
is called "mongol." and old gold $50
lonique," while something brighter
than gold but in the same color scale,
is bright orange known as "mikadO.'
Terra-cOttas promise unusual vogue al
so. The original color taken from the
ancient brick is called Ben Hur,' and
rightly so. There is an Egyptian pink
called "pyramid," which may be
classed in the terra-cotta scale. Go
rizia," an old Roman gold. is another
example Of this search among the al.
tiQuities. -,
Prune Almond.
Boil together one cupful Of granu-
lated sugar and one-third cupful Of
boiling water without stirring until it
forms a soft ball in cold water. Pour
it over the stiffiy beaten white of an
egg and beat until creamy. Add one
half cupful Of stoned stewed prunes
and one-third cupful Of blanched
chopped almonds. Beat well, then put
between layers of cake.

FIR m the Daily Item, June 20.
A very enthusiastic audience was
present last night at the meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce which was
held at the Elk's club. Besides the
regular members of the Chamber,
quite number of visitors were pres
ent, among whom was a large group
Of boys. Scout Master Birchard was
present with his newly organized
troops of Boy Scouts.
Mr.. w. Percy Smith, who presided,
opened the meeting by calling upon
Col. F. N. Thompson. who made a
short and interesting talk. Col.
Thompson is staunch advocate of di-
versified farming and strongly advised
farmers of the south to adopt this
method. This will be impossible,
however, withoct the closest coopera-
ton between the business man and
the farmer. This spirit is more alive
in this county, he stated, than he had
found it to be in any of the other
places which he had visited He con-
graduated the county upon this and
expressed the wish that this spirit of
cooperation might continue to grow
and bring forth even greater results.
The principal address of the even
ing was delivered by DR.. S. H. Ed
munds. whose subject was "The Con-
servation of Education" He stated
that we should preserve our high
ideals Of education, for we have no
right to lose to our posterity the
nOblest ideals Of our republic. Sew
eral very strong letters, which had
been received by DR.. Edmunds, were
read, approving such meetings as the
one last night for the purpose or con-
serving our educational facilities. = At
the, cqpclusion of this speech. Mr.. A.
c. Phelps, president Of the Chamber
of Commerce, moved that copy of
this speech be presented to the presi-
dent and secretary of the State Coun:
Gil Of Defense and thereby promu'gat
ed over the entire state. This mo ton
was carried.
Lawrence Kirvin made short tail;
on How Young Man can Best Pre-
pare Himself for the Duties of Citi-
Zenship." Lewis Pitts also made q
talk in behalf OF the boys on What
the City owes the Country Boy"
Father Murphy t3en made very
inspiring talk to the boys who were
present. He spoke on Cooperation
between Father and Son."
At the conclusion of the speeches,
every one present was served by
young ladies with delightful sandwich
es and lemonade
