The MONEY EIIES

The money goes i'll many ways, for things we
really do not need, an cight-day clock, a pair of
stays, a package of geranum seed. The girl next
door has bought a hat that shuts out all the fair
est view; my daughter Julia weeps thereat and
says she'll have to have one, too. My son Angus
tus comes from school and says that Bogg's boy
has a bike, and he wants that he can tool in
triumph up and down the pike. My aunt remarks
that Mrs. Jones has bought poodle just from
Perth and she must have hundred bones to buy
pup of equal worth. We watch the neighbors
cagle-eyed, they watch us, with jealous mind
and if they walk i'll pOmp and PRIDE we surely
shall not lag behind. And SO the money goes for
frills and curleycues and furbelows, and when
come to pay the bills in rivulets the briny flows.
If were living in a dell with neighbors MANY
miles away, | might be doing passing we'll and
saving kopecks every day, But then some other
hermit scout might come there and disturb nv
PLAN and I'd go broke, | have no doubt to make
him seem an also ram -.

If Southern College is to be rebuilt at any point
other than Sutherland Lakeland ought to get in the

college. 1t is an ideal place for one 1t is able,

lishment of as any city of its size in the state
Its citizens certainly are not ignorant of the almost

ment Of Agriculture)
A well-made loaf of bread is
source Of satisfaction as long as 1t
lasts. A burnt or pale loaf with a
sOggy interior tempts none but the
starving. The following directions for
making yeasr bread are given by food
specialists In the United States De
partment of Agriculture. If the direc-
tons 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 a
convenient part Of the equipment for
| bread-making.
In making stiff dough out of the
sponge, or out of the liquid containing
yeast, the -four should be added gradu-
ally. and what is more important, the
dough should be beaten thoroughly, or,
when Ii gets too stiff for this, knead-
ed, after each addition Of flour. II
this is not done, too much -four 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 -four 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
made out Of hard-wheat -four, should
amount to three pints; If made from
soft flour, to about two and One-half
pints.

hot liquid over ii and allow 1t to be-
come lukewarm. Mix the yeast with
little of the lukewarm liquid and add
1t to the rest of the liquid. If convent
ent, set this aside in a warm place, not
over Sc degrees Fahrenheit, for one
hour If not convenient to set 1t aside,
add the flour at once, putting In lit
tie at time and kneading until the
dough is of such consistency that II
sticks neither to the bowl nor to the
hands. This requires about ten min
uteS.
Dough should be kept covered
while it 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 II the
dough is well covered.
Cover, and allow to rise one and
three-quarters hours at a temperature
of Sc degrees Fahrenheit; it may be
better to set it 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 flour, the dough should treble its
bulk In each rising With a soft wheat
flour, 1t should not rise much beyond
twice its volume. Divide into portions,
mold and place in creased pans Of
standard size Zone and One-half
quarts). Allow to rise until a, light
touch will make 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 'shOrr
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 1t will fall
at the slightest touch, 1t 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 a tenn
perature of 65 degrees to 70 degrees
Fahrenheit, or that Of an ordinary
room. In the morning add the sugar
and the rest Of the flour and proceed
as in the case of the short process.

Ring Superstition.

IF every bride removed her we'd

after the ceremony, most Of them

said a prominent clergyman. 1T is
an old superstition among women
that the removal of the ring from the
finger after marriage will bring bad
luck. After a woman has been mar
ried for a time without removing her
ring and then does find occasion to
take it off, she hesitates to do so on
account Of the silly superstition. II
she had defied this ancient fear and
taken it Off Immediately after the
ceremony, she would not hesitate later
to remove the ring from her finger"
