ent, set this aside in a warm place, not
over Sc degrees Fahrenheit. for one
hour; II not convenient to set 1t aside,
add the flour at once, putting in lit
tie at a time and kneading until the
dough is of such consistency that 1t
sticks neither to the bowl nor TO the
hands. This requires about ten min
utes.
Dough should be kept covered
while 1t is rising for otherwise
crust will form on top and interfere
with the expansion. Some housekeep-
ers brush the dough over with melted
fat, but this is not necessary If the
dough is well covered.
Cover, and allow to rise one ana
three-quarters hours at temperature
of Sc degrees Fahrenheit; 1t may be
better to set 1t at lower temperature,
but the lower the temperature the
longer the time required for the rising
Cut down the dough from the sides OF
the bowl; grease the hands slightly.
Knead a little and set aside to rise
again for one hour. With GOOD
bread -four, the dough should treble Its
bulk in each rising. With soft wheat
flour, ii should not rise much beyond
twice its volume. Divide into portions,
mold and place in creased pans or
standard size Zone and one-half
quarts). Allow to rise until light
touch will make a slight dent. With
good bread flour this happens when
the dough reaches the top of the pans.
Bake for so minutes.
Short Sponge Method.
Bread can be made during the day
by what is known as the "short
sponge" method. All the ingredients
are the same as for the short or
straight dough" process, but only half
of the -four is added at first. When
this mixture, which is called a
sponge" is so light that it will fall
at the slightest touch, it is ready for
the addition of the rest of the flour.
Overnight Sponge Method.
Use the same proportions as for the
short process. except in the case of the
yeast, which should be one-eighth
cake of compressed yeast for each
loaf. Use water rather than milk. In
the evening mix the yeast with water
salt, and half of the -four, and beat
thoroughly. Cover and place at tenn
perature of 65 degrees to 20 degrees
Fahrenheit, or that of an ordinary
room. In the morning add the sugar

PREPARED by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
A well-made loaf of bread is
source of satisfaction as long as IL
lasts. A burnt or pale loaf with
soggy interior tempts none but the
u starving. The following directions Tor
making yeast bread are given by FOOD
specialists In the United States De
y i'partment of Agriculture. If the direc-
tions are followed carefully, delicious
loaf is the result.
Cleanliness Essential.
Everything connected with the proc
ess of bread-making should be scru-
= pulously clean. All utensils, therefore,
should be washed carefully; the liquids
-, should be scalded; the dry materials
should be kept from the dust; liquid
yeast should be kept cold and well
covered; the hands should be washed
and the nails cleaned before they
touch the dough. Wooden toothpicks,
which can be used for cleaning the
nails and then thrown away, are
convenient part of the equipment for
= bread-making.
In making stiff dough out of the
sDonge or out of the liquid containing
yeast, the flour should be added gradu-
ally, and what is more important, the
dough should be beaten thoroughly, or,
+ when it gets too stiff for this, knead-
ed, after each addition of flour. II
this is not done, too much flour Is like
=. ly to be added and this spoils the tex
! ture of the bread. The time to stop
putting in flour is when the dough can
be kneaded without sticking either to
the hands or to the board, even when
they are unfioured. If for any reason
,more flour than this Is added, the
dough should be softened again by
means of water or milk.
Beginners often have difficulty in de-
termining when the dough is ready to
be divided into loaves and put INTO
pans. A good rule is to measure Its
volume. When 1t is ready to be made
into loaves, the dough for each loaf, II
lSmade out of hard-wheat flour, should
/, amount to three pints; If made from
soft -four, to about two and one-half
pints.

THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets
 are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-thesub- stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous These little olive colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does. but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
