FUNCTION OF YEAST IS DISCUSSED AT RO OTARY MEETING
Otto Cook Tells the Method of Manufacture of Com pressed Article and Its
 Many Uses

Otto L. Cook, territorial supervis- or of the Fleischmann Yeast com pany, in a short talk yesterday, told members of the Rotary club of the manufacture of the yeast cake.
 "Ccmpressed yeast was orisinated by Charles Fleischmann in 1888 and is made from corn, rye and barley malt, which combination of grains are used as a food on which pure yeast culture grows and propagates ntil in a space of six hours what we call a batch is ready" said MT. Cook
 This is a liquid and is drawn off the tanks in which it is grown and separated in machines identical with the cream separator of the modern dairy, the by-product being carried off into the vinegar plant and the yeast going into the compressers.
 "The manufacture of yeast is very technical and difficult, requiring ac- curacy in temperature while the yeast is growing, freedom from any form of wild yeast which can easily be found In almost any place and ab solute cleanliness. After the yeast is compressed, it is placed in great re- frigerators and chilled down to a temperature very near freezing.
 Rapid Distribution
 Yeast Is perishable after attaining a temperature of around 80 degsees; s4 al lowed to get above that temperature. It is, therefore, necessary in distri5- uting yeast to do 50 as quickly as possible. All yeast Is grown and dis tributed in a space of seven days, and none of our agencies carry more than a two-day supply of yeast on hand, and as the yeast must be kept below 80 degrees during all Of it's travelling and handling, you can readily under stand what a problem we have to face.
 Yeast has many uses, the most important of which is the baking of bread. but the use of yeast in the, treatment of bodily ailments has been recently discovered. There is another function of yeast that l in- tended discussing, but recent devel- opments here and elsewhere preclude my doing so."
 Seventh Industry
 He told of the distribution of this product, declaring that the baking business stands seventh in the larg- est industries in the United States today. Mir Cook was given an ova- ton at the conclusion of his talk, which was greatly enjoyed by all present.
 Legrande c. Wilson was elected a mo bat nf ,-d lf ta succeed Wallace Caldwell. who re- signed as he has accepted position in Louisville, Ky, and has gone to the Kentucky city to make his nome.
 Frank P. Glass made brief talk, outlining some of the plans for the celebration of Birmingham's semi centennial in October or November, at which time President Warren c. Harding will be here. He urged members of the Rotary club to give their assistance and cooperation in this undertaking.
