MOULDY BREAD • — A housewife doesret- require a microscope to know when a loaf of bread has gone mouldy. Some- times her Mose detects the musty odour long before the green or blacicish clusters of growing bac- teria are' apparent to the eye. But she would need a friiCrri- scope to see the mould seeds or spores that ,float around in the air and settle anywhere That is one reason. why mould is more , common in summer when open windows invite an invasion of spores. The other reason is that thrives on summer's moist, warm condittons. Actually, mould grows fastest at tempera- -tures of 80 to 90 degrees Fahren- heit, which is about the normal year-round temperature of most kitchens,' • So, even when bakers try to discourage mouldby main- taining strict cleanliness, house- wis es may be. unwittingly encouraging it, There are two measures for combatting mould Which have been practiced by a number of progressive Canadian bakers . for man years, - One involves the observance of rigid cleanliness rules. The 'other is' chemical compound known to scientists as sodium propionate. "This is a white powder that looks like flour and can be baked into bread so that every crumb is protected 'against bacteria. It is ' the serve substance that Nature puts into some foods such as milk, butter, . vinegar and cheese. A well-developed Swiss cheese, for example, contains almostone per cent sodium pro- pionate, which is the teason it is, so resistant to mould, However, Nature neglected to include sodium propionate in some of our daily foods. And so it was up to the chemist to synthesize it for the baker to add himself. The powder was discovered only after years of searching for a chemical com- pound -that was harmless, but would delay mould and rope in bread and other bakery products. It wag learned that it effectively retards both mould and , rope without affecting the bread's quality, texture, flavour or ap- pearance. Costing bakers only a Jew pennies for one hundred loaves of bread, sodium propionate is harmless since it occurs naturally in some of our Most nourishing foods. Its potency is not limited to bread alone, It also. makes up for Nature's oversight in baked goods of all kind, inchtd- ing rolls, buns, doughnuts, muf- fles and in cakes and pies which can also be hot -weather victims of mould if not rope; QUICK-WITTED Calling on a friend she had not seen for 4 long time; a woman said: "Why, Mary, what have you done to mar hair? it .looks like a wigi" "It Is a wig," replied M4ry The friend gulped, then tallied bravely, "Well, !Bret it marvel- • lous," she blurted at Mit "NI never have 'known it" Modern Etiquette atj . litOlitEitTAtleElf ONICLES • a second marriage of a Young 1 Meow worded?

Red Sea shortly after „ Alamein, . you . would have observed an inter- esting reversal of the usual nat- ive custom. The English Way of "ladies "first" 'had been adopted.

At the barn things are not too pleasant, Because of the sudden heat the cows are not happy either in the stable or the yard and there is not enough growth yet to turn them out. The hu- midity in the cow stables makes the cement wet and slippery.

Didn't you feel the love- ly warm sunshine was a golden opportunity to really go to work on the housecleaning - to get jobs clone that had to be left when the weather was so unsettled. I went right to work even though it was Saturday, I even passed up an auction sale of antiques so I could finish my living -room. But the weather wasn't as settled as I imagined. I had the scatter rugs and afghans out on the grass and was so engrossed with the vacuum cleaner that I failed to notice a thunder shower as pelting down.
