A Special Rye Flour Biscuit

RYE flour, generally speaking, is
not satisfactorily for quick bak-
ing and in nearly all cases necessi-
tates the use of yeast. However, we
made some very good biscuits in the
Institute kitchen which offer
change from those made of white
flour. They are made practically in
the same manner as baking powder
biscuits, only a little richer and with
additional sweetening and egg, and
can be varied in several ways, rolled
out and cut the same as for biscuits
or made into pinwheel biscuits, with
a filling of cheese, jam or currants
end raisins, or cinnamon and sugar.

How to Fry Dougllnu,s

1t is very important in frying
doughnuts that the fat be of exactly
the right temperature, or the food
will become fat-soaked and therefore
lndigestible. A heavy, deep kettle is
necessary, so that it cannot be easily
tipped and also to insure that the
fat does not boil over. The old
fashioned method of ascertaining the
temperature of the fat by the smoke
test is very unreliable, and is often
the ruination Of the fat, which is
unwholesome and of inferior flavor
when. burned. The best home
method, aside from using ther-
mometer, is by testing with piece
of bread. If one-inch cube of
bread browns in one minute, the tenn
perature is about 345 degrees F., as
required for frying doughnuts. The
kettle should be about two-thirds full
of fat at the beginning of the op-
Grafton.

They were on a street car the other

man and his companion. They were
quarreling, or rather he was, when
they, boarded the car. She listened
while he told her that everything was
over between them, listed all her short
comings, told her of what wonderful
company she would lose now that he
was eve going to see her again, and
every once in a while he would say
very bitterly that his entire life was
ruined. Once in a while she would ven
ture a remark to the effect that she
did not care whether he we saw her
again or not, and then he would begin
his raving all over again. All the way
to the end Of the car line this was
kept up. And then the car started
back and the listener wondered wheth-
er he would have to listen to all this
during the remainder of his recreation

man turned to his companion and said

Annoying "Deer-FIy Fever" 1t Is An.
nounced, Is Caused by BAG
terium TuIarense.

Announcement has been made by the
United States public health service Of
the discovery by it's Investigators Of
a new germ foe to man, which causes
a disease which has resulted In fa-
tai cases in Utah, the New York Times
says.
An investigation has been completed
by Surgeon Edward Francis. The
germ, which bears the name Of bac-
terium tularense, was first located by
Doctors Mccoy and Chaplin Of the
health service, as the ~causative agent
in a p~laguelike disease of rodents. II
was not then known that the same
germ also infects man.
Doctor Francis now finds that bac.
terium tularense is the cause Of "deer-
fly fever" a disease occurring among
the rural population Of Utah, and in-
itiated, according to popular belief, by
a fly bite on some exposed surface Of
the body. The site Of the bite and
the neighboring lymph glands become
tender and inflamed and commonly
suppurate. A fever like that in ordi-
nary blood poison develops and lasts
from three to six weeks.
