Yeast Bread Made with Water.

A successful yeast bread made with
water instead Of milk is likely to have
the most agreeable wheat flour flavor
OF any bread made, and this is en-
HANGED by toasting, at which time it
gives off an aroma to make one hun
cry. Weigh out two pounds of -four
to be most accurate, which should not
be colder than ordinary temperature
and use half of it for sponge made
with one cup of boiled water, cooled to
tepid, poured over one yeast cake.
stir the water and the yeast together
thoroughly, and pour the mixture into
a crater made in the mound of flour,
stirring until il has all been mixed in.
Set this to rise like any sponge, but
it will take longer than the ordinary
sponge because no sugar Is used. When
it has doubled, stir down and let rise
again. To make the final dough add
to this sponge another cup of boiled
and cooled water, and then stir and
knead in the other pound Of -four. Aft
er kneading this 60 perfection, set to
rise to double, then make up. You
may mold il into long roll, let rise.
and score il before putting il into the
oven on a long baking tin.
The management of this water
dough Is considerably different from
the management Of milk dough, says
the Springfield Republican, and must
be learned largely by experience. For
hot rolls it is unexcelled. Baked in
500 degree oven they win be nearly
all crisp crust A gas oven is not ideal
for baking such bread, but ii it -
slowly heated and long, you may get
perfect effects. If work on the dough
is imperfect the rolls may bake in I'M
expected shapes. Dorothy Dexter.

Real Food Value in Oranges.

With the recent scientific discovery
that oranges AMI lemons contain large
quantities Of yitamines, these citrus
isnits have been given q newly recog-
niyed value Of Importance from A
medical stadpoint. Science has
learned that citrus fruits have nu-
tritive value also. In this rega~d Vita
mines are described as ~actiNating c.e-
ments present particularly IN raw
fruits and vegetables, essential 10 the
proper assimilation of concentrated
foods"
Milk also contains ritamines. but
their activity is destroyed by heat
during the pasteurization process. In
the orange and lemon this mysterious
food principle is found in the larg
est quantities.
Disease germs, scientists state, come
primarily from water which gathers
bacteria on its way down from the
sky or during its course in flowing
over the ground. The orange contains
ninety per cent water and the lemon
but little less, and yet all sorts Of
chemical tests have failed 10 discover
a trace of impurity or disease germs
in these citrus fruits
il is practically agreed among all
doctors OF standing that oranges and
lemons are valuable as foodstuif;
that they are of great benefit from
the anti-medical standpoint of pre-
of disease, and that they
are valuable from a strictly medical
standpoint. November Designer.

for the principles laid down in the
bible. The Presbyterian, in discussing
the lynching evil says part:
Instead of implying that such evils
are endorsed by southern Christian
people, it would be better to inquire
into the cause and cure of the evil
IF there was prevailing among the
people OF our age a knowledge and
reverence for the Bible as the Word
Of God and rule Of life, both for
this world AMI the world to come to-
gether with sence of responsibility
for obedience unto this rule of God,
it would go far toward the correc-
tion of this evil and similar evils. Sad
to say, many writer's and speakers
who deal with these, social evils are
seeking by appeal to Scientific adj
vantage and to common utility .
the means of educating the people
out Of this social degradation. The
trouble in the case is not the lack
Of knowledge. but the lack Of motive.
Mere information will not correct
any OF these social threatings. The
need Is for more conscience, and that
can &c awakened only by keener

requirements are revealed In the
