So high are the prices paid that
the brewery biologists are now
actually hard at work trying to
invent a strain and a process
which will produce as much yeast
as possible and as little alcohol.

The reason for this apparently
depraved preference of the inno-
cent baker is quite simple. What
he needs in his business is a
regular "gusher" of yeast which
pours out carbon dioxide like a
gas well and initiates his dough in
the shortest possible time.
And a thoroughbred distillery
yeast does this so effectually that
he can now fully raise his batch
of dough In from two to three
hours instead Of having to let 1t
stand over night, thus making
baking in his great ovens almost
a continuous performance.

So that the wise old model

The grand passion has been
the darling motif and main
spring of the drama in all ages,
but the most thrilling tragedy of
history is the mad infatuation Of
Saccharomyces for sugar. This
reckless passion and the diff
culties and puzzles of its control
form the chief secret of the
perils Of homemade hootch, or
amateur alcoholics of all sorts,

head; too rich a mixture of
sugars, malts, and fruits, which
lands on the solar plexus and

for strength and swift results,
which lands on both head and
stomach, and the vexing problems
Of ripening and getting rid Of
