BAKING THE FIRST CAKES
CHAPTER 81

I II Al EN- Ot
Some lake villages were very
large. One hundred thousand posts
We're among the remains OF one such
village. Think how many plat
forms and log nuts those posts must
have held up. 49,,
1t seems that in some lake villa
ges there were storehouses 1or
grain. More than a hundred bushels
of partly burned grain were raked
up from the mud over which a GER
tain lake village once stood.
Why was grain stored away 50
it could be fed to live stock during
the winter, when pastures were COW
cred with snow, and so people could
eat it when other food was scarce.
Stones which were used for crush,
ing grain into rough meal have
been found in lake mud.
After the wheat or millet was
crushed, water was added and dough
was made This dough was baked
into what we may call bread
cakes"
Bread cakes were usually about
an inch thick. The cakes which have
been found were badly scorched
That is how they happened to be
preserved for all these thousands Of
years.
The bottoms of some bread cakes
show the marks of rounded stones.
This makes it seem that the lake
jewellers placed the dough on hot
stones. Then they may have placed
other stones around so as to form
square, laying a stone slab over all
to make an oven for the baking.
Such stone oven is pictured
We cannot be sure this was the
way the baking was done, but it is
likely.
Sometimes wheat and flaxsecd
were mixed with the millet when
bread cake dough was made Poppy
seed was also used at times.
The lake jewellers seem to have
eaten great numbers Of crab apples.
The larger ones wore often cut in

several pieces. This seems to prove
that apples were dried so they could
be kept after the fruit season was
over.
The seed of raspberries, blackber-
ries and strawberries have been dis
covered. Shells in the mud show
that the lake-dwellers were fond of
hazelnuts, beechnuts and water
chestnuts.
In some spots fish skulls are
found in heaps, either bones being
missing. This means that the
heads were cut off when the fish
were being prepared for cooking.
The larger mones of wild animals
were always split open so the mar
row could be taken out.

A FRESH SCANDAL

The baseball world has been hit
by another scandal. Phil c.
Douglas, pitcher for the Giants,
wrote a letter proposing 10
throw a number OF games Tor 4
cash consideration, and it is now
talked that a ring OF gamblers is
once more busy in the game. Judge
Lands, now the big power in the
game, thinks the thing tragic and
deplorable, and he would have
gone further than this but was re-
minded that he had already been
accused OF handling too many su-
perlatiyes. We suppose the Ma
tional game, or business, as many
have come to view ii. will survive
this latest exposure. Manager
McGraw did the best he could 10
keep his outfit from being brought
into disrepute when he sent for the
reporters and did all the exposing
himself. That was the one way to
clean house, but the thing is Ger
to react disagreeably upon the pub
lie.

RETIRES IN DISGUST

Representative Knight of Ohio
signifies his intention to retire
from public life. He will tender
his resignation to the House at the
first convenient opportunity. MIR.
Knight says he can not follow his
party further in the direction in
which the President is leading, for
the McCumber tariff bill and ship
subsidy, and therefore he will no
longer make an effort to partici-
pate in the "so-called deliberations
of the House
"SO-called deliberations is
good, as anyone who has observed
the House in action will attest. 1t
is very difficult to get the attention
of the House at times even after
the several committees have done

us will understand just how Mr..
Knight feels about it.
The Ohio members figured in
the primary election as candidate
for governor, and did not fare so
well. 1t may be there is some re-
lation between this circumstance
and his determination to leave the
House. But however this may be,
it is nevertheless true that the Nd
ministration program is being
rather consistently assaulted, even
in the house OF its supposed
friends. What is termed the elias
tic feature, designed to confer up
on the president the authority to
increase and decrease rates, Is be-
ing particularly criticised. Before
his intentions became known To the
press generally, the Gazette re-

dorsed by the American Association

even though this increases the cost
of construction, or. RI crossings are
unavoidable or justified by local in

kind. bearing half the cost of build
