Yeast is a plant of the simplest
structure consisting oS a chain of
single cells, growing very rapidly and
multiplying a thousandfold, if given
proper food for immediate assimila-
tion. This food must contain protein,
sugar, mineral assn and starch,
Yeast is divided into two classes—
wild and cultivated yeast. Wild yeasts
have no bearing upon this subject.
Cultivated yeast is nor- furpished in
the form of compressed cakes.
These calces must be of a reliable
character and of uniform goodness, so
that they will produce a healthy, ac-
tive fermentation. A low-grade yeast
will give an undesirable ferment and
cause eertene .changes.. to :take •place
before the proper time.; this will cause

SIXTEENTH EPISODE,—(Cont'd.)
There was a desultory attempt made
to subdue the fire in the debris of the
wrecked cabin, but the absence of any
equipment; and the: scarcity of water,
macre the undertaking hopeless from
the start, So the tinderlike Wood
burned and the embers smoldered.,
Shortly after the call had been
turned in for an ambulance, the chief
of the. secret service operatives began
to show signs of ecovery, and by the
time the hospital\attendants arrived
he had shaken -off the effects of his
sudden collapse, He refused to enter
the ambulance, and Pat alone remain-
ed to require medical attention.
The surgeon made a hasty -examina-
tion and; concluded that Patewas not
seriously affected by the shock and ex
citement of her adventure. She was,
however, placed - on a stretcher and
shoved into the ambulance for a'�pre-
e:.utionary"trip to the hospital,
Because of his unfamiliarity with
the suburban roads, the .driver of the
ambulance chose the }wrong turning,
soon after he had started on the return
trip to the hospital. His mistake cost
Pat her liberty and left.the ambulance
driver and surgeon. in an embarrassing
ceded down the ladder, Reaching the
water the daring girl plunged in and
began to swine for safety,
She hart barely reached ppIzgn• wakes
at the ed o of the doelc'wb,en three
men pulled a rowboat up to the toot
of the ladder, and climbed up, 'phey,
proceeded at once to take their prison-
er in the canvas bindings down the
ladder, and pat him lito the bottom
of the boat,
`The .men rowed away, fortunately
taking a different Course than the one
which Pat was following in het des-
perste swim,
Good fortune further attended the
girl, whep a harbor tug, slowly steam
mg along, passed near her as she
swans. The lookeet diseovez•ed the girl
111 the water, and soca the boat was
aloxigstde the swimr s' They qui'caly
hsrled her on board, tired but not par-
ticularly the worse for her adventure,
Pat quickly explained her unexpect,
ec1 presence in the water and told her
rescuers of the plot against her. Like-
wise sho informed thorn that Kelly had
been left tied in the canvas, and gave
the tug boatmen a. report of what she
had overheard when the anarchists
were rendering her helpless in the
tarpaulin,
The tug quickly changed her course,
the captain intending to lay neer the
anarchists' anchored boat zuitil'th° an-
archists should bring Kelly on board.
But it was not necessary for the tug
to wait, As they were steaming down
the bay the sailors saw a rowboat pull
alongside of the craft, which was an-
chored at some distance. from the
shore.
The heavy burden in the canvas cov-
eting was lifted on board, Putting
o'n all steam the tug plowed through
the water, and was soon nearing the
anchored motorboat.
The tugmen'-soon noticed a great
scurrying on board the other boat. Pat
recognized Kelly as one who was
putting up a spirited • fight against
heavy odds, He had chosen to -wait
until he was taken on board the an-
chored boat before he liberated him-
self from the canvas that hound him.
Then he started to light his way
clear of his adversaries. But they
were too many for him•to handle alone,
tie taxi up'the shrouds toward the
masthead to secape the clutches of
the anarchists, He saw the tug ap-'
proaching and felt that he would be
rescued,
Poising for a moment to get proper,
balance, the Sphinx dived from the
shrouds and disappeared in the waters
of the bay. He swam for some little
distance under water, and when he
came to the surface the tugmen were
near at hand.
When Kelly was dragged from the
water, he' was dumbfounded to find
Pat on board the tug, The rare good
ortune that had marked their inclivid-
al efforts had again brought them
together,.
While the tug was slowing down to
o near enough to pull the detective
roan the water, the motor slipped its
etcher, tying off the chain to a fro
ng buoy and made haste to get aw
•om the vicinity. Kelly had no p
ial reason to follow them, for he w

i. When the wai"'�brohe out, the fertil-

was badly disrupted. Until then,
Germany had been the principal
source of supply. Attention was im-
mediately directed to�sevoral possible
materials from which potash might
be obtained. Among these was kelp,

is this the' case on the British Goluri-
