When Yeast Is In Good Condition II Is

Homemade bread, IL well made, is t,

cording to Miss Addie D. Root of tn,
Missouri College Of Agriculture. Th'
condition Of the yeast used In bread
making Is more important than tht
Kind OF yeast. If yeast is allowed tt
stand In dusty place or Is put into an
unsterilized vessel, 1t 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 tco stiff, harsh, crumbly
bread results. The least amount of
Hour possible to avoid a sticky dough-
gives the best bread.
The quick even stroke In kneadIng
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 1t has a smooth velvety
surface. If kneaded longer than 80
the elastic quality is COM
pletely destroyed.
Yeast plants thrive at 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, 1t Is not necessary
either to oil or lnoisten the surface to |
crust from forming. If the
temperature Is too high, the bread will

'esults are obtained when dough Is
Kept at n gentle, warm, even tempera-
ure until 1t Is twice its bulk, and then
worked.
Baking requires MS much care as
mixing, kneading and rising. The TEN
of the oven should be 800
egrees Fahrenheit when the bread is
laced In 1t. 1t should be allowed to

4 MAN WITH A MESSAGE

It is pity that every man, woman
and child in the United States can
not hear w. T. Foster, president of
Reed College, Portland, Ore. He is
man with a message from the bat
tie front of democracy, and delivers
that message with a clearness and
forcefulness, which compels atten-
ton. He does not have to resort to
tricks of oratory and rhetoric to hold
his audiences. His message grips
the hearts of his hearers because of
the lucid and earnest way in which
it is delivered and because each word
is eloquent with repressed emotion.
DR.. Fosters description of the
heroic sacrifices which the French
nation has made and is making in
the war for democracy is as inspir-
ing as it is heart-rending, and can
not fail to rouse the most indifferent
American to some realization of the
responsibility of this nation in the
war and the necessity for each one
of us to make sacrifices, in order to
supply the needs of our allies, to feed
the French and Italian soldiers, to
save their wives and children from
starvation and cold, and to demon
strate to our own boys that we have
not forgotten them, nor the debt of
gratitude which we owe to them.
After listening to Dr. Foster, few
will turn deaf ear to the appeal of
the Red Cross and the call of the flag
to service. He stirs the hearts of his
hearers and fans into life the fires
of patriotism because his appeal
comes straight from a heart, strong
in its conviction of right, and throb
bing with a profound love of country
and of humanity. He is big man
with a compelling message for the
people of these United States.
