Sour Bread and Sore Husbands.
MOTH &c

Husbands are getting sore.
Wives had better take due notice.
This bread business is serious.
And the fault is not Mr. Hoover's
In the making of bread alcohol
is a by product formed in the
sponge by yeast fermentation. The
yeast decomposes sugar or starch
or both, producing carbonic acid
gas carbon dioxide) to raise the
bread, and alcohol. This alcohol
is entirely driven off by baking.
Baking also destroys the yeast
cells or plants, so that the fer
mentation goes no further. If the
baking is not thorough some of the
yeast remains alive in the bread
and fermentation continues slowly,
so that the bread sours within a
day or two after it is baked
You can't blame a husband for
feeling a little sore about sour
bread, especially when he under
took the job of furnishing twenty
one meals a week to the baker
with the understanding that she
was an educated, cultured woman.
In using the various wheat flour
substitutes now required there is
difficulty in obtaining a light
bread, owing principally to the
lack of gluten in the substitutes.
Gluten is the heterogeneous sub
stance which makes white flour
dough sticky. 1t serves to retain
the carbon dioxide gas in the
dough or sponge and thus to make
the bread light.
Z Fifty-fifty is the regulation in
buying flour and substitutes. Let
fifty-fifty be the ratio in using
them. Let half white flour and
half substitutes of one or sever&
kinds go into the daily bread.
Potato meal or potato water is
useful in making all white bread,
to retain moisture in the bread. For
war bread it is generally a super
fluous addition. Sugar hastens the
beginning Of yeast fermentation; in
war bread it is equally superflu-
Gus, since substitutes are rich
enough in starch. The primary
mixing should be fermented an
hour or two longer than custom
airy in the old anemic bread days
And the dough must then have a
thorough second kneading to
spread the newly grown yeast well
through the mixture and insure
lightness. A little soda added to
the dough tends to neutralize any
sourness due to prolonged fermen-
tation. A little white Of egg thor

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Simple GOitre.

\ Is iodine good for a goitre which
occurs In girl of fifteen and
seems to have no influence on her
health? If so, what form of iodine
should be used? Is the colorless
or white iodine good? Is exercis-
ing Of the neck good for such a
goitre? (RD
Answer-Yes, preferably iodine
in its natural state, as present IN
sea foods and in the drinking wat
.er in some communities. Adding
minute quantities OF iodine to the
drinking water in communities Al
the Great Lakes basin, where sim
pie goitre is exceedingly prevalent
among school children, has ap-
peared to prevent goitre and to
cure many cases. This is not a
measure to be attempted witnoul
the supervision Of your physician.

suppose the question is, have you
tuberculosis? If that is what you
wish to know, better rely on the
family doctors opinion. A girl may
have tuberculosis and yet not ad-
nit that she is feeling unwell at
all. tuberculosis in the incipient
or very earliest stage does not ma
terially impair the health. No
pretense of an examination is
worth the bother; your family
doctors method is the only method
self-respecting physician can af-
ford to employ in such case.

CONFUSION OF FOE EXPLOITED

British Reported Making Steady Advance in New Attack-En- glish Capture Many Prisoners and Guns and Inflict Loss.

With the British Army in France, Aug 21.-Having smashed into Gen eral von Beulow's Seventeenth army during heavy fog at dawn today on a front of more than 10 miles, extend ing from the Ancre river to Moyen- vile, the British have throughout the day made steady progress forward, capturing villages, taking prisoners and guns and inficting heavy casual ties on the surprised enemy.
 Coming directly on the heels of the battle south of the Somme, the scene of which practically adjoins the field of the new operations, this blow ex- ploits to the limit the confusion ere ated among the German forces by their recent defeats.
 Heavy fighting has occurred along the embankment of the Albert t-Arras railroad, which, although well within the German lines last night, seems to have been easily reached by the storming British infantrymen, who were assisted by tanks. It was from this embankment that the Germans armed with countless machine guns, fired a rain of bullets in an effort to keep the British from coming further but while they were doing it they must have suffered severely, not only from the flood of direct and indirect machine gun fire, but from shells which were sent crashing about their ears from directly in front of them, fer the British field guns moved up closely in the rear of the infantrymen and from their flank, where the big British guns hurled in an avalanche of steel from the north
 AS is inevitable when g battle rages with such intensity as along this em- bankment, the exact situation is ob- scure, but reports have been received that the British have broken down the German defense at various places and have passed through to the eastern side.

NEW YORK MARKET
 CONTINUES NERVOUS
However, Fluctuations Are Less Violent and Volume of Busi- ness Small-ClOse is at De cline of 2i to 5 Points.

New York, Aug. 21.-The cotton market showed continued nervousness and irregularity today, but the fluc- tuations were less violent and the volume of business was comparatively small The general list closed barely steady, at a net decline of 24 to 35 points.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of l2 to Is points on private re- ports of further showers in Texas and relatively easy cables Houses with Liverpool connections were good buy CTS around 31.35c for December and 3l.26c for January, however, and the market soon irmed up on overnight in anticipation of a bullish weekly weather report.
 While the weekly report of the weather bureau proved quite as bull ish as expected, it seemed the signal for increased realizing. Prices weak ened in consequence, while there was also some selling by spot houses, ac- companied by reports of a continued slack demand from spinners. There was also talk of a steadily increasing new crop movement. with predictions of more active hedging, and the mar ket was quite weak during the early afternoon. Sellers found no encour- agement in the later weather and crop news, as the detailed reports showed showers at only eight points in Texas and none in Oklahoma, with continued high temperatures in both states.
 According to private cables, Man chester and continental interests have been buying in Liverpool and houses with Egyptian connections were among the chief early buyers,
