Rules for Successful Bread Making.

Bread dough rises most rapidly at q
Temperature of about $50 F., and II Il
can be watched carefully so there is no
loss of time at any point, this is the best
temperature. Under other circum-
stances q lower temperature, about 800
F., IL better. 1t IL easy to keep the
proper temperature II the dough 10 put
into o bread-raiser or fireless cooker
and Q thermometer used, say food spe
cialists of the United States Department
of Agriculture. Experienced house
keepers know the right temperature for
raising and baking bread by the ssnse
of feeling, but uniform results are most
easily obtained by the use OF q thor
| mometer.
Dough should be kept covered while
il 10 rising; otherwise crust will form
and interfere with the expansion. Some
housekeepers brush the dough with
melted fat, but this is not necessary II
the dough 10 we'll covered.
Beginners often have difficulty In de.
tsrmining when the dough 10 ready to be
divided into loaves and put into pans.
A good rule 10 to measure its volume.
The dough for each loaf, II made out
of hard. wheat -four, should amount to
Is pints; II made from soft -four to
about IL pin,s.
The levels to which these masses of
dough will reach In the mixing bowl can
be determined In advance and marked
II one loaf of bread 10 to be made, be
fore mixing, pour 8 pints of water into
the bowl and mark the point to which
the water comes. This will indicate the
height to which the dough should rise.
When recipes direct that dough DO al
lowed to double or treble in volume, II
IL convenient to have measuring glass
to determine the expansion. An ordl.
nary tumbler will do, but q glass Of
smaller diameter, like . jelly glass, !.
better. Before the dough Is set to rise,
pack small piece of 1t in the glass.
Note the height to which it comes and
mark the place 1t will reach when its
volume has doubled or trebled, as The
case may be. Put this beside the large
loaves Of bread and use 1t as an indi-
Gator.

AS told in these few sentences, this ac-
complishment may not seem to have much
significance; but to those who have been
struggling and working for this end through
many years there comes the feeling OF pro-
found satisfaction that SO good result has
been obtained. Twenty years ago no indus
try located in any one of the towns which we
now serve could be sure of being able to OBJ
tain 100 horse power of electric power.
Today any industry, new or old, can have
100 or 10000 horse power on application.
Much has been said and written about the
water powers of Maine and the great indus
trial possibilities which they hold out tor the
future of the State, but there is nothing more
useless for anything except scenery than an
undeveloped water power. Handicapped as
Maine is by transportation and other diff
culties, Central Maine Power Company felt
certain that the fundamentally important
thing was not to dwell on what the great
powers that are undeveloped NIGHT DO tor
us at some distant time in the future; but to
DEVELOP them NOW and have them
ready to use.
This we have done and hope to continue
doing as the need arises.
Because through 1921 we shall have use
for investment money for various require
ments, especially to finance the second and
third units which will be placed in our new
power development and to complete the
lines which will interconnect our new prop
critics with the old, the Company is able to
offer to the investors of Maine through
1921, approximately 10000 shares OF pre-
ferred stock.
This stock seems to us to be safe in the
last degree; and likely to pay 81 per year
per share as long as Maine rivers flow. The
price is $1o7. so share, the yield Ga per
cent. net.

behind an investment in Central Maine
Power Company, together with full informa-
ton about the Company and its securities.

II 7 NDEvELOPED water power is fine
for scenery-but what Maine
needs is DEVELOPED water
power-a surplus ready to meet
the demands of any manufacturer who may
want to come to Maine.
This need has been supplied by Central
Maine Power Company
The determination to have power ready
and available has long been one of the
guiding principles Of Central Maine Power
Company. Acting on this principle it has
added, through the fifteen months which
ended December 81, 1920 new construction
costing nearly $2,5oo,ooo.
Its transmission system, extending from
Skowhegan through Waterville Augusta,
Gardiner to Lewiston, is now capable of
handling and delivering at any point between
the terminals of this line 5000 horse
power.
At Skowhegan the installation of the first
1000 horse power unit in its new hydro
electric plant is completed and the second
unit will be in operation about February 1,
and the third in April or May. At Farm
ingdale the line taps into the steam plant
where if needed at any hour of the day or
night, 10000 steam generated horse power
is available.
From this main line, adequate feeders
radiate to the more than 100 communities
served.
1t would seem that the Company has
reached a distinct period in it's existence.
1t has achieved the position where its lines
reach the towns and villages occupied by
one-third of the population of the State,
where every individual or corporation in its
entire territory is supplied with every power
demand that has been made, and where it
still has developed and available ready for
immediate use, surplus of absolutely relia-
bic power.

1t Wears Out, Loosens Up and Gets
Dirty Like Everything Else.
The Condition of the Ignition sys-
tenn inevitably deteriorates in service
with the development. sooner or later
of sparkling difficulties and the follow
ing are some of tho points where
trouble may, in time, manifst itself
in Ford cars: The contact surface of
the commutatoy may become unevenly
worn, so that the roller of the brush
cannot follow its surface but, at times.
Jumps partly or wholly over one or
more of the four steel segments. thus
failing to make proper connection to
the coil units. Rapid wear is generally
due to failure to oil the commutator
frequently enough and replacement Is
the remedy. The brush spring may be
too dirty TO insure reliable connection.
The wires leading to the commutator
cables may become loose in their bind
ing screws, broken thru the repeated
bending to which they are subjected
or abraded or oil soaked so that they
short-circuit the current. in which case
a new cable is advisable. The vibrator
points of the coil units wear away
gradually, until they are too far apart,
reahiring that the thumb nut should
be screwed down so that the gap is
1-S2 inch. If the points have worn un-
evenly and do not make a fat con-
tact, they should be trued up with a
fiat file before being adjusted. The
winding or condenser of a coil unit
occasionally, fails, and replacement be-
comes necessary. Car vibration is
constantly tending to loosen screw con-
nections and this applies to those of
the coil box. the ignition switch and all
other parts. Tightening all wire con-
nections is the obvious remedy. Spark
plug points burn away IN service. max
ing the spark gap too wide for easy
starting or reliable ignition at high
speed and must occasionally be bent
together so as to have a 1-32 inch gap.

the respective remedies. Plugs that

their insulation damaged by oil or rub
