SUPERIOR QUALITIES
OF HOMEMADE BREAD
Most Appetizing of Foods When
One Is Hungry.
Loaf Should Be Light in Weight Con-
sdering Its Size, of Symmetrical
Form, With an unbroken, Gold
en-Brown Crust.

Good homemade bread is about the
most appetizing Of foods when one is
hungry, but there are many kinds of
homemade bread. Some is good, some
is bad, and some Indifferent Which
kind do you make? If you don't know,
Judge it by the following description
of a good loaf given by the home eco
nomics kitchen of the United States
Department of Agriculture:
Good bread is porous and contains
a large number of holes or cells, all
of which are of about the same size
and shape. 1t is better for some rea-
sons to think of it as mass Of tiny
bubbles made of -four and water and
hardened or fixed in shape by means
of heat. This calls attention not only
to the size of holes or cells, but also
to the character of walls of the cells,
which in good bread are always very
thin.
A loaf of bread should be light in
weight, considering its size. and should
have a symmetrical form and an I'M
broken, golden-brown crust. The crust
should be smooth on top and should
have a certain luster, to which the
term "bloom" has been given.
The loaf as whole, the crust and
the crumb, should be elastic. The
loaf, if pressed out of shape, as it
often is when slices are cut from it,
should regain its form when the pres
sure is removed. Bits Of the crust,
If bent a little between the fingers,
should show the same power TO re-
bound, as should also the cut surface
of the loaf if pressed.
The cramb should be creamy white
in color and should have sheen.
which may be compared with the
bloom of the crust. This sheen car
best be seen by looking across a slice
rather than directly down into it. The

gather in the depresSions when vege-
tables are cleaned, dishes washed,
etc. Like iron, they do not show
whether they are clean. or not.
Enameled-iron sinks are smooth,
last well with careful use, and may
be easily kept clean, but they are
more expensive than iron. Porcelain
sinks are similar to the enameled
ones, but their price is almost prohibit
tive. Perhaps the, ideal plan, if cost
is not to be considered, would be to
have an enameled or porcelain sink
for the tableware in the kitchen or the
pantry near the dining room and an
iron or soapstone sink for the heavier
kitchen ware.
The double sinks, with one basin for
washing and another for draining
dishes, are very convenient, but I'M
fortunately they are relatively expen-
sive. A small sink with rubber
stopper for its escape pipe may be
used as a dishpan.
The plumbing should be easy of ac-
cess, and therefore it is better thas
there should be no closet under the
sink. Hooks or shelves under the sink
or near it will accommodate every
thing usually kept in the dark, often
musty, '''sink closet" of older kitchens.
A "sink Closet can be kept sweet and
clean but it means extra work to do 1t.
Location of Drain Boards.
If possible, there should be wide
shelf or drain board on each side of
the sink on the level with the rim OF
the latter, one to receive soiled dishes
and the other clean ones. Some house
keepers have these covered with zinc.
AS in all other places where it is used,
the metal must be neatly fitted and
closely fastened down so as not TO
leave any chance for loose, rough
edges, or to provide breeding places
for insects or a lodging place for
grease and dirt. If there is no place
for permanent drain boards, sliding
or hinged shelves may be used.
right handed person usually holds the
dish in the left hand while washing
or wiping it, and the dishcloth, dish
mop, or towel in the right hand. 1t
is convenient, therefore, to have the
dishes move from right to left as they
pass from dishpan to rinsing pan, and
from rinsing pan to drainer and tray.
This should be kept in mind, and pro-
vision made for soiled dishes at the
right and for drain board at the
left of the sink.

W ASHINGTON.-A movement of

Second - A revised "gentleman's

y. S. Trying to COMPROMISE With japan

the land-holding prohibition 70 all
aliens.
The Japanese government has been
sounded, and has indicated that it
will be willing to settle the contro-
yersy on the basis proposed.
Such a settlement would represent
concessions by both parties to the
dispute. Japan would yield on the
exclusion from America of farmers
and the relatives of Japanese already
here, which classes were exempted
from the terms of the existing gem
tlemans agreement
California would yield on the ex-
clusion of all aliens from land-hold-
ing privileges.
From the beginning of the land
ownership row in 1913, Japan has con-
tended that the California law was a
discrimination against race, inasmuch
as the statute prohibited landholding,
not by all aliens, but by only those
aliens ineligible to American citizen
ship. Under the American law, only
white or black person is eligible TO
naturalization.
California, however, was unwilling
in 1913, and has continued unwilling,
to prohibit all aliens from acquiring
land. The extent to which European
capital has been poured into the state
is indicated by the fact that 80 per
cent of the oil lands of California are
British owned.

One of the biggest savers of time,
strength, and labor in the kitchen is
the sink. Yet many women are strug-
Cling along with none at all or, at
best, poor and badly placed one.
The following suggestions in regard
to sinks are given by household spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture:
The size of the family and of the
kitchen must determine the size of the
sink, but short sink with ample
table and shelf room near it may be
more convenient than a long sink.
Two smaller sinks, one for the table
dishes near the dining room and the
other for general use in the kitchen,
are very convenient.
No Cracks or Square Corners.
The material should be the best
available, nonabsorbent of grease as
well as of moisture, and there should
be no cracks or square corners to in
crease the work of keeping it clean.
A wooden sink, even when it receives
an annual coat of paint, will absorb
moisture and grease which attract in
with bacteria and to "sour" and have
an unpleasant odor. Even drainboards
of wood are not recommended unless
they have waterproof finish OF var
nish, oil, or paint. If wooden sink
is necessary, it is better to have it
metal lined, provided the sheets of
metal, which is usually tin, zinc, gal
vanized iron, copper or lead, are
soldered where they are Joined and
all parts of the sink, including the
tops of the sides, are covered with the
metal, so that there is no chance for
the wood to absorb moisture. Another
plan is to have cement sink built
into a wooden frame and lined with
sheet copper or tin.
Iron sinks of good quality are SUI
perior to wooden ones, since they do
not absorb grease or moisture and are
durable. They are easily kept clean
if smooth (and they will soon wear
smoothly, but they have the disadvan-
tage of neither showing dirt nor pro-
claiming their cleanliness. Unless
the front is protected by strip Of
wood, the dresses and aprons of the
worker are likely to become stained
with iron rust.
A soapstone or a slate sink is dur
able, but sometimes becomes uneven
with wear, and if this happens much
brushing and scrubbing are required
to remove the sand and grease that

is so restricted that today the home
owner is compelled TO rely largely on
savings banks and insurance com
panies in the East and building and
loan associations in the West.
II have introduced q bill exempting
from taxation the income on mortgages
when in the hands of individuals, pro-
vided that no Individual shall own
more than $4,000 worth of exempt
mortgages.
'In the committees report we have
recommended legislation providing for
exemption for the next five years of
the profits on the sale of new build
ings erected for dwelling purposes,
provided these profits are reinvested
in new buildings.

basis"
He then proceeded to set forth con-
ditions in various bureaus. Next he
mentioned the "glaring anomalies from
a business point of view'-the dupli-
cations among the departments. Out
side of executive departments there
were 40 boards. commissions, offices
and bureaus which have no supervision
except from congress. In other words.
a good deal of the executive function
ing of the government was illogically
and wastefully organized.
He was hopeful that the proposed
budget system ard reorganization OF
the department would cure the situs
ton.

KITCHEN is WORKSHOP

The kitchen is the workshop
in most farm homes. In it the
housekeeper and her helpers
prepare the food for the fam
lily, and from it as a center car
ry on most of the other house
work.
More and better work can be
done in a vell-lighted shop ar
ranged for The comfort and con-
venience of the workers and
equipped with good tools than in
a dark shop where much time
must be spent in unnecessary
steps and energy wasted with
scattered equipment. Business
men have found this a sound
principle, and it should be APP
piled to the farm kitchen so
that the housekeeper can do her
work more quickly and with the
least fatigue.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

A small sink with a rubber stopper
for its escape pipe may be used as a
dishpan.
With roast pork serve apple sauce,
mashed potatoes and green vegetable
peas. beans or spinach.
Celery, lettuce and other salad
plants, because eaten raw, must be
washed with the greatest care.
Sal soda in hot soap suds is splen-
did fer removing grease from gas
range. See that 1t is thoroughly dried
afterwards.

distribution of the holes, on the other
hand, and the thickness of the walls
can best be examined by cutting a
very thin slice and holding it up to
the light.
The flavor of the bread should be, as
nearly as possible, the flavor Of wheat
developed or brought out by the use
of salt. This flavor is not easy TO de-
scribe, but is familiar to those who
have tasted the wheat kernel.

MAY HAVE A CONFESSION
Convict in Penitertiary Said to Have
Been Implicated in the Villisca
Ak Murders.

1t has been persistently rumored
on the streets of Villisca during the
last few days that an inmate Of the
penitentiary at Fort Madison has
confessed to having committed the
Villisca ak murders, but up to this
time there has been no official con-
firmation of the rumor.
The rumor has Il that an official
OF the penitentiary went to Red Oak
to consult with the authorities there
relative to calling the case before
the grand jury at its next meeting
but Sheriff C. e. Petersen at Red
Oak said he would neither affirm
nor deny the report. declaring he
did not wish to diyulge what he
knew in that connection.
II don't know how the report got
started" said Sheriff Peterson, "but
1t certainly did not come from this
statement now concerning the mat
ter or say anything in confirmation
or denial of the report at this time. T"
The name of the prisoner alleged
to have made the confession has not
been made known but II is said he
declared he and Blackie Mansfield
together committed the murders. He
says he was hired to do the murder
ing, according to report.
1t will be remembered that Mans
field was arrested I'm Kansas City
four or five years ago and held in
Jail in Red Oak several weeks while
the charges made against him were
being investigated by the grand
jury. No indictment against him
was returned by the grand jury and
he was therefore released.

THE PEOPLE WILL RULE

The people of Cedar Falls voted
on the question of closing theatres
On Sunday and they were closed.
The people OF Mt. Pleasant voted on
the subject Of pool halls and a ma
jority was registered against the
pool playing resorts.
These are straws in the wind and
they are worthy of serious consider
alton by people engaged in these
lines of business. In the end the
people will rule. In the end these
institutions must stand or fall on
their merits. If the people are fin
ally convinced that any kind of a
business is demoralizing they will
rise up and abolish the business as
they abolished the saloons.
Pool halls, movies, baseball and
other amusements can be managed
in such manner as to justify exist
ence and support. They can be mis-
managed in such manner as to be
harmful in their effects. The peo-
pie who make pictures and who
make profit in these lines should
carefully inventory public senti-
ment. In the end the public will
inventory these concerns and final
judgment will be based on their
merits and dement's as liabilities
and assets of the human family.
More and more people are TAX
ing account of the elements that
contribute to character building
and to those elements which tend to
retard and hamper the development
Of the better attributes of char

CLEANING UP DIES MONIES

Charges OF malfeasance in office,
coupled with a demand for immed-
late suspension of Chief of Detec-
tives Frank Brophy and Police Cap
tain Frank Harry were filed with
the civil service commission by at
torneys for Sheriff Robb at Des
Moines. Monday. In the meantime,
a special grand jury was convened
to take up the charges of a criminal
nature which the sheriff has
brought against officers of the po-
lice department. Sheriff Robb was
outspoken in his assertions that he
will prove the completely Of certain
Des Moines policemen in bank rob-
berries in che towns in the vicinity of
Des Moines, and that completely in
said robberies will be filed against
the men now in custody and men
who have made affidavits upon
which charges against the police
are partly based.
The sensational war between the
police and sheriff's office is the talk
OF the community and further de-
velopments are expected to grow
even more startling.

leaders and statesmen of the Union,
during the early days of July. For
the first time this great educational
organization is to hold its annual
convention in this state. Hotel res
ervations by the hundreds have al
ready been made, indicating that the
teachers appreciate their privilege.
Although the program has not been
announced in its entirety, the names
