SOME SANITARY ASPECTS OF 'BREAD-MAKING.

BY CYRUS EDSOX, M. D. (Health Commissioner, New York Clty.l It is necessary, if one would understand the sanitary aspects of breadmaking, to rally comprehend the present theory held by scientists of germs sad the part played by them in disease. The theory of disease germs is merely the name given to the Knowledge had of those germs by medical men, a knowledge which is the result of innumerable experiments. Being this, the old term of a "theory" has become a misnomer. A germ of a disease is a plant so small that I do not know how to express intelligibly to the general reader its lack of size. When this germ is introduced into the blood or tissues of the body, its action appears to be analogous to that which takes place when yeast is added to dough. It attacks certain elements of the blood or tissues, and destroys them, at the same time producing new substances. But the germs of the greater part of the germ diseases, that is, of the infections and contagious diseases, will develop or increase in number without being in the body of a human being, provided always you give them the proper conditions. These conditions are to be found in dough which is be- " DISS ASK CSBXS TO USD THEIR lag raised with yeast. They are warmth, moisture and the organio matter of the flour on which the germs, alter certain changes, feed. It is necessary to remember at this point that yeast is germ growth, and When introduced into a mixture of glucose or starch, in the presence of warmth and moisture sets up a fermentation. If the mixture be a starchy dough the yea-it first changes a portion of the starch into glucose and then decomposes the glucose by changing it into two new substances, viz., carbonic acid gas and alcohol. Now the gluten, which is also a constituent of dough and moist starch, affords, with the latter, an excellent nidus for the development of germs of disease as well as for the yeast germs. The germs of cholera, as of typhoid fever, would, if introduced into dough, find very favorable conditions for their growth. I do not wish to "pose'' as an. alarmist, nor am I willing to say there is very much chance of the germs of typhus and of cholera reaching the stomachs of the people who eat bread which has been raised with yeast. But I have not the slightest cause to doubt that other diseased have been and will be carried about in the bread. I have met journeymen bakers, suffering from cutaneous diseases, working the dough in the bread trough with naked hands and arms. I have no reason to suppose bakers are less liable to cutaneous diseases than are other men, and I know, as every housewife knows, yeast-raised bread must be worked a long time. This is an exceedingly objectionable thing from the standpoint of a physician, for the reason that the germs of disease which are in the air and dust and on stairways and straps in street cars, are most often collected on the hands. Any person who has ever kneaded dough understands the way in which the dough cleans the hands. This means that any germs which may have found a lodging- place on the hands of the baker before he makes np his batch of bread are sure to find their way into the dough, and once there, to find all the conditions necessary for subdivision and growth. This is equivalent to saying that we must rely on heat to kill these germs, because It is almost certain that they will be there. Now, underdone or doughy bread is a form which every man and woman has seen. It is a belief as old as the bills that underdone bread is unheaithfuL This reputation has been earned for it by the experience of countless generations, and no careful mother will wish her Children to e it bread that has not been thoroughly cooked. The reason given for this recognized unhealthfulness has been that the uncooked yeast dough is very difficult to digest. No one but a physican would be apt to think of disease germs which have not been killed during the process of baking as a cause of the sickness following the use of uncooked yeast bread. Yet this result from this cause is more than Srobable. I have not the slightest rubt that could we trace back some of tine cases of illness which we meet in our practice we would find that germs collected by the baker have found their way into the yeast bread, that the heat has not been sufficient to destroy them, that the uncooked yeast bread has been eaten and with it the colonies of germs, that they have found they way into the blood and that the call for our services which followed has rounded off this seanence of events. I have already pointed out that the germs of disease are to be found in the air and dust. The longer any substance to be eaten is exposed to the air, tne greater the chance that germs will be deposited on it Bread raised with yeast is worked down or kneaded twice before being baked, and this process may take anywhere from four hours to ten. It has. then, the chance of collecting disease germs during this process of raising, and it has two periods of working down or kneading, during each of which it may gather the dirt containing the germs from the baker's banns. As no bread save that raised with yeast goes through this long process of raising and kneading, so no bread save that raised with yeast has so good a chance of gathering germs. What is meant by "raising" bread is worth a few words. The introduction of the yeast into the moist dough and the addition of heat when the pan is placed near the fire produces an enormous growth of t.-j yeast fungi the yeast "germ," in other words. These fungi euect a destructive fermentation of a po tion of the starchy matter of the flour one of the most valuable nutrient elements in the flour. The fermentation produces carbonic acid gas, and this, having its origin in every little particle of the starch, which is itself everywhere in the flour, poshes aside the particles of the dough to give itself room. This is what is called "raising the bread." It needs but a glance to see that it is, In its effects on the dough, purely mecoanicaL The dough, which was before a close-grained mass, is now full of little holes, and when cooked in this condition is what we ordinarily call light. This porous quality of the Dread enables the stomach to rapidly and easily digest it, for the gastric juices quickly soak into and attack it from all aides. The fermentation of the dough, however, uses up a portion of the nutrient elements of the loaf. If it be possible, therefore, to produce a light porous loaf without this destruction and without the "kneading" process, which fills the dough with germs and filth, and without the long period during which the raising process goes on, the gain in food and the gain in the avoidance of the germs is exceedingly

But while we can easily see the dangers which attend the use of yeast it is certain that the vesioulating effect roduced by it on the dough is to the ist degree perfeot. It is apparent that if we are to substitute any other system of bread making we must have one which will give us, first, mechanoal results equally as good, that is, that will produce minute bubbles of carbonic acid gas throughout the mass of dough. Now it is in no way difficult to Sroduce carbonic acid gas ohemically, ut when we are working at bread we must use such ohcmicals as arc perfectly healthful. Fortunately these are not hard to find. The evils which attend the yeast-made bread are obviated by the use of a properly made, pure and wholesome baking powder in lieu of yeast. Baking powders are composed of an acid and an alkali, which, if properly combined, should when they unite at once destroy themselves and produce oarbonio acid as. A good baking powder does its work while the loaf is in the oven, and, having done it, disappears. But care is imperative in selecting the brand of baking powder to lie certain that it is composed of non-injurious chemicals. Powders containing alum or those which are compounded from impure ingredients, or those which are not combined in prop-

WAV ISTO THE TEAST BREAD." er proportion or carefully mixed and whioh will leave either an acid or an alkali in the bread . must not be used. It is well to sound a note of warning in this direction, or the change from the objectionablo yeast to an impure baking powder will be a case of jumping from the frying pan into the fire. The best baking powder made is, as shown by analysis, the "Boyal." It contains absolutely nothing but cream of tartar and soda, refined to a chemical purity, whioh when combined under the lnfluencs of heat and moisture produce carbonic acid gas, and having done this, disappear. Its leavening strength has been found superior to other baking powders, and as far as I know, it is the only powder which will raise large bread perfectly. Its use avoids the long period during which the yeast-made dongh must stand in order that the starch may ferment, and there is also no kneading necessary. The two materials used in the Royal, cream of tartar ani soda, are perfectly harmless, even when eaten. But they are combined in exact compensating weights, so that when chemical action begins between them they practially disappear, the substance of both having been taken up to form the carbonic acid gas. More than this, the proper method of using the powder insures the most thorough mixing with the flour. The proper quantity being taken, it is mixed with the flour and stirred around in it. The mixture is then sifted several times, and this insures that in every part of the flour there shall be a tew particles of the powder. The salt and milk or water being added, the dough is made up as quickly as possible, and molded into the loaves. These are placed in the oven and baked. But the "very moment the warmth and moisture attack the mixture of cream of tartar and soda, these two ingredients chemically combine, and carbonic acid or leavening gas is evolved. The consequence may lie seen at a glance; the bread is raised during the time it is baking in the oven, and this is the most perfect of all conceivable methods of raising it. Here, then, there is no chance for germs of diseaso to get into the dough and thence into the stomach: more than that, the bread is necessarily as sweet as possible, there having been no time in which it could sour. This involves the fact that the bread so made will keep longer, as it is less likely to be contaminated by the germs that effect the souring process. It will be strange if the crowds of visitors to the World's Fair do not greatly increaso tho number of contagious diseases, which we will have to treat. Under those circumstances is it not folly of follies to opon a single channel through which these germs may reach us? Is it not tho part of wisdom to watch with tho greatest care all that we eat and drink, and to see that none but the safest and best methods are employed in the preparation of our food ? To me it seems as though there could be but one answer to questions like these. I have shown the danger of using the yeast-raised bread, and with this 1 have shown how that danger may be avoided. The ounce of prevention, BREAD WITHOUT? YEAST "THE MOST PERFECT which in this case is neither difficult nor expensive, is certainly worth many pounds of cure, and the best thing about it is that it may be relied on almost absolutely. Those who eat bread or biscuits or rolls made at home with Royal baking powder may be sure they have absolutely stopped one channel through which diseaso may reach them. Note. Housekeepers desiring information In regard to the preparation of the bread, will da. for sanitary reaflo s, Dr. Kdaon bo strongly urge for general nse, should write to the Boyal Baking Powder Company, New Vork As Good as a Seashore Cottage. "Are you going to the seashoro this summer?" Jones asked of Brown. "N-not exactly," said Brown, "but we're going to accomplish the same result without going from home at all." "What do you mean?" "Why, it's this way: You see, when a person of my means takea cottage at the seashoro he, of course. gets a poor sort or shanty, because we can't afford a large, finely finished and well-furnished house. You know the sort of place the usual summer cottage is. Well, we've decided to accomplish the result in another way. We're going to move up into the attic for the summer." "Move up into the attic?" "Why, certainly. It is unfinished, just like a seashore cottage. The sun beats down on the shingles and raises the temperature above loo degrees every sunny Bummer day; that's just like a aoaa&ore cottage, too, When it

rains tho wator doesn't beat through our roof, to bo sure, as it does throng!) the roofs of tho seashore cottages, but we can remedy that by poking a few holes througli the shingles here and there, and getting tho roof mended in the fall. It will "smell a Hi tie stuffy, but that is eminently like a seashoro cottage Wo shall' keep a clothes basket full of unwashed clam shells standing in the corner to produce a realistic effect. On the whole wo shall be ever so much more comfortable in our own accustomed garret than wo would bo at tho seaside, and we shall have this inestimable advantage, that when wo get sick of it we can simply move right down into our own comfortable homo, whereas if we were at the shore and paying a high price for a cottage wo should feel lirmnd to stick it out tn tho bitter end. Oh. I toll you it is a grofit scheme!" Boston Transcript. . An Amusing Derivation. Lexicographers of other days wore notoriously at fault with their derivations, and an amusing instance is given as to how plausible etymologies may ho concocted. It appears that the learned Person was staying at one time with a well known Canon of Ely named Jeremiah King. One day at dinner, when they had got into a discussion upon questions of etymology. Person gave a derivation which King considered s; far-fetched ns to bo quite ridiculous. "You might as well say that my namo is connected with cucumber," said King. Possibly there was a cucumber on tho dinner table. "And so it is." said Person. "How so?" asked King. ... yy j. .tnya JWUU JtUljjf, ty OHM traction Jerry King: Jerry King, by contraction and metathesis. Gherkin; and gherkin, wo know, is a cucumber pickled." Porson's definition of the meaning of the word gherkin is almost as erroneous, it will bo observed, as his playful derivation, since gherkin is not a pickled cucumber, but a small cucumber of a particular variety commonly used for pickling. To Catch a Runaway Horse. Most persons, when trying to stop a runaway horse, merely add to the panic which has caused tho beast to take to his heels. Don't stand in the middle of the road t. ad throw up your hands and shout. No one ever saw a real runaway stopped by meh tactics. Don't stand on the side of the v a:l and yell to the horse to stop. That will merely cause him to be worse frightened than before. As you see the horse coming, start to run as fast as yon can in the same direction the horse is taking: wiien he catches up with you, an 1 before he

passes horses don t, sro with the rapid ity of a bullet from a gun even when running away jump for his bridle rein, and hold to it, running along all the while as fast as possible. The check thus given by the pull on the bit will always stop a runaway. If on horseback vou can do it with case, and very little danger, for in this instance your horse is running and you have all your strength to g'vo to the runaway. The mounted policemen in Central Park and on the reads about-catch runaway horses with much neatness and dexterity, and they have plenty of practice. Wonderful Helen Keller. Helen Keller, the wonderful deaf, dumb, and blind girl, who has been taught so much despite her triple affliction, has been visiting Prof. Graham Bell, in Washington. She has lately taken up the study of French, and already has a go id knowledge of the language. In a letter to a friend she once wrote: "I am always delighted when any one writes me a beautiful thought 'which I can treasure in my memory forever. It is because my books are so full of the riches of which Mr. Ruskin speaks that. I love them so dearly. I did not realize until I began to write tho sketch what precious companions books have been to me. and how blessed even my life has been, and now I am happier than ever because I do realize the happiness that has come to me." This was written two years ago, when she was but 11 years old. Pat's Wit Always on Tap. A son of Erin was coming up-town on the evening of Decoration Day feeling much exhilarated. He sat in the street ear exclaiming at short intervals and in various keys: "H'rah f r oul' Irelan'." He said it when the conductor asked for his fare and he said it when someone asked him to novo along and make room; he said it when ho got off the car, and to the first man he met he shouted: "H'rah f'r oul' Irolan'." The man didn't sympathize with his mood, and answered surlily: "Hurrah for h 11." The Irishman faced about and laid a detaining arm on the other man's shoulder. "Tha's jus' w'at J's 'bout t' remark," said he, confidentially; "ev'ry man f'r 'a own country." Ivew York Times. A Georgia Marriage Ceremony. A justice of the peace in Sandersvillo, Ga., being called upon to perform a marriage ceremony, is accused of concluding with, "By the authority vested in me as an officer of the State of Georgia, which is sometimes called the Empire State of the South; by the fields of cotton that lie spread out in snowy whiteness around us; by the howl of the coon dog. and the gourd vine whose clinging tendrils will shade the entrance to vour humble dwelling place; by the red and luscious heart of the watermelon whoso sweetness fills OF ALL CONCEIVABLE WAYS Or 1IAIS1NO IT. the heart with joy; by the heavens and earth, in the presence of tluo witnesses, I pronounce you man and wife." Suicide and Insanity. An epidemic of suicide has prevailed in Buda Pesth and other Hungarian towns lately. In Buda Pesth alone seven suicides occurred in one day some two weeks ago. Tho number of cases of insanity is also increasing so rapidly that the hospitals and asylums ui e crowded.

New York special: Tho unrest and unemployed in this city has burst its bounds, and a mob has possessed themItw in ryrepgry--to .winch they had been forbidden entrance by the owners. A crowd of more than 5,000 men attacked Walhalla Hall, 48, 50. and 52 Orchard street, because admittance was donied them. They smashed the plate glass windows to atoms, forced in doors which had boon turned against them, and forcibly took possession of tho place. Several persons wore cut by flying glass. Word of the coming of tho unemployed reached tho AValhalla Hall proprietor, a man named Fliegman. His sons and daughters first barred the door and then demandod through the keyholo to know what the crowd wanted. Tho reply came that they wanted to hold a meeting in tho . hall and had no money to pay for it. They were told they could not have it. Instantly there was a crash of breaking glass. Fliegman 's daughter, a young girl of IS years, tried to get in front of tho crowd as it swept in, but sho was thrown aside. Tho men swept chairs and tables aside in their ?ager ness to hold a meeting, and t hey had just about settled down to business when word of the affair was sent to tho Eldredgo street police. The sergeant in charge at once culled out a reserve section and fourteen roundsmon proceeded to clear tho hall. The speaker was arrested and two other arrests were made. Tho howling mob followed the olficers and their prisoners to tho door of the station, but tho prisoners were locked up. Tho prisoners wero arraigned before Justiee Voorhees, but Manager Fliegman refused to make any complaint. He said the men would molest him if he pressed a complaint and ho preferred standing the damage to losing their custom, and he was afraid of being killed. Justice Voorhees then discharged the prisoners, but took occasion to denounce Manager Fleigman for his cowardice. While this was enacted in tho Essex Market Court the police swept down upon the hall and many bruised and bloody heads resulted from the encounter and a rough and tumble light took place. The jioliecmen used their clubs freely, dispersing tho men in al) directions. The McDonald Will. Indianapolis special: The appeal of tho McDonald will cuso to the Supreme Court has been filed in tho office of t he Clerk. It bears the title of Josephine F. McDonald (widow of the late Senator McDonald) and others, and is &ppealed from the Hamilton Circuit Court. Tho transcript fills 1,5158 typewritten pages, and is one of tho largest documents over filed in the Supreme Court of Indiana. There are thirteen errors assigned on which the appeal is based, tho first being that Wie Court erred in refusing to vacate tho order made on motion of appellees requiring appellant, Josephine McDonald, to submit to a statutory examination under oath before trial. Sons of Veterans. The National Encampment Sons of Veterans, in session at Cincinnati, elected tho following officers: Past Commander-in-chief, F. P. Merrill of Auburn, Me.; General, John V. B. Clarkson, New York City. They also gave a reception to the G. A. It. Dopartment Commander, L. H. Williams, of Ripley, Ohio. The next place of meeting is Davenport, Iowa, the timo to bo fixed hereafter. Blown to Atoms. The boiler of the Wellington Roller Mills, at Lexington, Ky., exploded, instantly killing Richard' Johnson, ugod 35, an'd a boy named Frank Albin. Albin's body was blown to atoms and Johnson's body was buried under an immense pile of coal. The boiler was thrown a hundrod yards up a steep hill. Cloudburst. A cloudburst atSt. Joseph. Mo., did damage to the extent of $10,000. Streets were torn up, cellars flooded and sewers destroyed. No lives wore lost. A meat train on the Chicago and Great Western Railway was wrecked by a washout just outside tho city, but no fatality occurred. May Want American Hay. Berlin special: Tho Reichsanzeifor announces t hat the importation of hay and straw from Russia will be prohibited. This is a sanitary measure taken to prevent the spread of cholera across the Russian border. Much Injury by Grasshoppers. Hillsboro i 111.) special: Grasshoppers are doing great damage in this section. They have destroyed many fields of clover and corn. In some cases they have attacked young fruit trees ant) killed them. Keeeiver Appointed. W. P. Ageter lias been appointed receiver of the Lima Casting Company, Lima, Ohio.

As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food iu the blood, t general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the residt. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by whi:h the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forma of nervous derangement.
