EXPERT GIVES ADVICE
ID ON BAKING OF BREAD
Care Of Yeast Important and Too
Much Flour Results In

Care Of Yeast Important and Too
Much Flour Results In
f, crumbIy Loaf.
Columbia, Mo.-Home-made bread.
II well made, is to be preferred over
bakers bread, says Miss Addie d. Root
of the Missouri College Of Agricul-
ture. The condition IL the yeast used
in bread-making is more important
than the kind of yeast. II yeast is al
lowed to stand in dusty place or Is
put into an unsterilized vessel 1t will
collect bacteria and the bread will
have sourl 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 tn liquid thor
oughly to incorporate air. Sugar Is
food for the. yeast plant and IL given
to it will hasten it's growth.
If dough is too stiff. harsh. crumb-
ly bread results. The least amount OF
flour 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 thoroughly kneading distrib-
utes the yeast plants evenly through
out the dough and results in bread OF
the best texture as the gas bubbles
rise evenly. Dough should be kneaded
until it has a smooth, velvety surface.
II kneaded longer than 80 minutes, the
elastic quality is destroyed.
Yeast plants thrive at temperature
Of from 70 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
When dough Is set to rise, 1t should
be placed in clean bowl. If the bowl
is covered tightly and an even tenn
perature maintained, 1t is not neces-
sary either to oil or moisten the sur
face 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 a gentle, warm, even
temperature until 1t is twic, its bulk,
and then worked.
The empLrature of the oven should
be $50 degrees Fahrenl cit when the
bread is placed in it. 1t should be al
lowed to rise after Is minutes and
lowered after 30 minutes. The bread
should begin to brown in patches dur
ing the first Is minutes and. should
have an even brown surface after 80
minutes. If the dough is not twice
it's original bulk or as light as desired,
it may be allowed to finish rising in
the oven.

OF telegraphy. Registered men who
took these courses were given pre-
ferred positions in the army, even to
that of non-commissioned officers, in
many instances.
This same opportunity is offered to-
day.
Now the government urges that in
addition to training registered men for
military service, that attention be
given to instruction along industrial
lines. This means that the institute
must enlarge its scope of work. It
has done so. The courses have been
so arranged as to meet the industrial
emergencies and military necessities.
These courses are so arranged that
an unskilled man may become a skilled
mechanic of sufficient ability to step
right into war work, reflect credit
upon himself and be of material as
sistance in making the big push a
reality. 1t will include all registered
men from Is to as years of age.
The Grand Rapids manufacturers
have responded nobly to the call. They
have thrown open their factories to
the institute, where the mechanical
lines may be taught. They have gone
further. Every war industry will give
men employment during the day, so
they may pursue their studies at
night. These places are now waiting.
for the men who want to fit them
selves for preferred positions in either
the military service or the war indus
trial plants of the country.
Information along this line may be
secured from Director Verne H.
Smiley, or Associate Director Roland
De Witt, of the War Industrial Frain-
ing Institute, 207 Y. M. G. A. building,
Grand Rapids. A letter or card d.
rected to either one will bring
speedy reply.

WAR INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE
PLANS HELP FOR "BIG PUSH"
Grand Rapids Draft Boards Behind Movement to Place
Registered Men in Preferred Jobs

~ The big push is, on. To meet it
every resource of the government will
be strained to the limit. There is to
be no let up until the boys in khaki
have reached Berlin. At least, such
is the present indication. The presi-
dent has spoken. Peace will never be
dictated by the Kaiser. 1t will be an
American-made peace. General PERISH
ing and the boys. "over there" will see
that the mote" signed by the presi-
dent, will have the. full endorsement
of all the arms and ammunition this
country can supply.
d But the big push is not alone with
General Pershing and his boys in
khaki. Here, in this country, in this
town, are the men who will make the
big push effective--as reality. 1t is to
the boys and the men who registered
on September II that the government
looks to make possible the effective
ness of General Pershing and his boys
overseas.
To assist in this big work the gov
eminent has urged the War Industrial
Training Institute, located at Grand
Rapids, and operated with the local
draft boards, the war department, and
the federal board for vocational educa-
ton, to extend its work. Early in the
spring the institute prepared regis
tered men for preferred positions in
the army soldier mechanics = men
behind the lines to repair the war ma
chimes and guns for the boys in the
trenches. General Pershing estimated
that it required from three to six men
behind the lines for every man who
carried gun. The institute assisted
in this work by teaching airplane con-
struction, motor truck work, machine
shop practice, acetylene welding, ap-
piled electricity, airplane engine re-
pair, accounting, signal corps school

GHOSTLY CALLS ALARM
GIRL PHONE OPERATORS
Feminine Voice From Esprit Land"
Asks About Friends Still in
Realm of the Living.

Petersburg, Ind.-The southern part
of this State, including the counties
of Pike, Dubois, Warrick anG Spencer,
are worked up over peculiar things
happening at the telephone exchanges
at Chrisney and Dale.
For a number of weeks, between
the hours of 8 and o'clock p. m,
these two exchanges have been getting
long-distance calls, and when the tele-
phone girls ask Number" voice re-
plies, Petersburg; I'm the dead
operator from that place. I'm in the
spirit land and want to talk with you
about things on earth and here where
I am"
The voice-a feminine one-follows
by telling of people in Dale and Chris
ney who are in the spirit land, and
how they are getting along. Religious
songs are sung. and if any one is in
the Office with the operator, the
spirit" tells who they are and makes
inquiry of them.
Usually the spirit" only gets start
ed when the excited telephone oper-
ator rushes from the exchange and 1t
sakes some time to quiet her down.
The managers of both the Chrisney
and Dale exchanges have done every
thing possible to ferret out the
trouble. They have their automobiles
ready and the moment the spirit"
puts in call they rush the entire
distance between Dale and Chrisney,
inspecting every pole. hoping to locate
a cut-in.
The call does not go thru the Hunt
ingsburg, Winslow or Petersburg ex-
changes, and the disturber has not
talked to any of the operators at any
of these Places, but the girls are all
nervous, and hope that the mystery
soon will be ,olved.
A year ago Miss Nola Dedman, the
head operator. of the Cumberland ex-
change here, died suddenly. but Miss
Dedman was not acquainted with any
one at Dale, and did not know any of
Dale's persons family history, while
the unknown, who has gir.ish voice,
seems to know practically everybody
in Spencer County.
