WOMAN SOLVES SECRET OF BREAD WITHOUT STARCH Bevitty. Year-Old Mrs. Lydia Cole Sharpless Wins the Boston Prize. t WORKS AT IT 12 YEARS. Invents a Method of Mixing Flour That Eliminates the Uncooked Starch, A method of mixing bread which con- tains no uncooked raw starch has been invented by Mra. Lydia Cole Sharpless of Philadeiphia. Her discovery hav " been rewarded by the prise of the Women's Educational and Industrial Unton of Boston for the best household labor-saving device designed by a wom. ; an. Mr Sharpie ho is now more c en working on her The importance of the discovery lies in the fact that uncooked ttarch ts Highly indigestible and ts responstble for much indigestion and dangerous in- testinal complications. Physicians fre- Quently cut wheat bread off the diet Mate of their patients. Ordinary bread Contains 9 per of uncooked starch. Mrs, Sharpless was interested in the subject when her husband, who was in- ordinately fond of wheat bread, was forbidden by his physician to eat it. She read all the books in the Philadel- phia lbraries which she thought would teach her to avoil the raw starch. She learned much of che chemistry of bread, but found no solution for her difficulty. he went to Boston and read all the fooks on the swhject In the great Boston “brary. GOT HER IDEA FROM A PAPER HANGER. Microscopic studies of the black bread of the German peasants gave her a little start. ‘Tough, sour and unpleasant look. ing such bread is very healthful. She found that it contained very little rat starch. But it was too unpalatable for her husband. A paperhanger gave her the rea! clue. He told her that he mixed his paste by stirring it quickly and then let it stand overnight before cooking It. {d, could he get the full It t# the cooked starch that puts the stick in pasie, Mrs, Sharp mixed a small quantity of dough by stirring It quickly, let it stand overnight and re- fraining from kneading tt. The bake bread snowed 9 per cent. of cooked starch, ly healthful and nutritious and ver: From this point she went on and de- vised a mixing trough in which the flour ‘was rapidly “cut into” the water, milk and yeart by a roller studded with ‘Ientves, Th ‘with the uncooked stardh quantity than when the dough tek tee ith a spoon.

When two persons who leve each other are intelligent enough live for themselves and not for the neighbors—and living for themselves means necessarily living for each other—they have come very near the secret of happines: To-day many households, if conducted only in the interests of their members and with- out regard to the opinion of the block or the neighborhood, would be able to live far better than they do now and to save money. Much has deen written about the type of family that puts a mortgage on its home in order to buy an automobile, but this iving for the eyes of others. Innumerable married couples are frankly bored by each other and only happy when they are surrounded by friends and neighbors. And naturally if it is necessary to depend for mental stimulus, amusement and recreation on persons outside the home, one has to propitiate those persons and live according to their standards rather than within the bounds set by Im @ happy marriage both hus- band and wife should be mentally self-supporting, that is, they should find in thelr own ooccupa- tions and relaxations a living wage of happiness. If they do not they will have to buy happiness out- side the home at the various aqpisl gatherings of the mutually bored, and the price they will have to pay will be that of conformity to stand- ards of morals, of stupidity of com- versation, of expenditure other than their own. In concluding this discussion of the problems involved in the pledge for bet- ter or worse we can't do better then to ponder these words of Stevenson: THE AWFULNEGS OF MARRIAGE DESCRIBED. “Marri is @ step 80 grave and #0 de it attracts lightheaded, variable men by its very awfuln have been so tried among the inconstant squalls and currents, 80 often sailed for islands in the alr or lain becalmed with burning heart, that they will risk all for solid ground beneath their feet. Des- perate pilots, they run thelr seasick, weary bark upon the dashing rocks. It acems as if marriage were the royal road through life, and realized, on the instant, what we have all dreamed on summer Sundays when the belle ring or night when we cannot sleep for the desire of living. They think it will ober 4 change them. Like those who join mood, they fancy it needs but pene) coll and clamor ever. But thie i ne ‘the end spring winds will sow dis- quietude, passing faces leave & regr behind them, and the whole world keep calling and calling in their ears. For marriage Js like life in this—that it ts @ fleld of battle and not @ bed of roses, ‘The Evening World readers contribute the following last words: ADMITS HE 18 TOO COWARDLY TO MARRY. Deer Madam: As I understand, since you started your series of “For Better or Worse?” the kind of girls the Male Rlue Ribboners want must be intelligent, sensible, good cooks, housekeepers of grandma's period, laundreases by the day or week if necessary, fairly good looking, of proper age and, to fill up the bill, must go to them with civil service knowledge of modern, every day economy. Mind you, they must either possess these qualifications or show unmistakable evidence of their adapt- ability to learn as eoon efter the honeymoon as the male lords can afford to allow, Now, really, I do not Wish to be unsympathetic to your wailing bache- lors, being one myself, but must say that some of the demands they put upon the girls they would marry show just as much eense as the “Twenty-five-Year-Old Kid Bache- lor’ in your to-day’s article showed in his hunt for a girl to marry, tn large and small places, as to call comfort, convenience and economy. on some of them unexpectedly and ‘found resembling @oarecrows after @ wind storm” or “padded awfully.” Just ieten what this bachelor wants for a life partner—"a good, sensible woman, a good cook and housekeeper, with enough business love in her to look after a man's in- terests always, I never met the woman to suit me. I'm afraid never will.” it from a bachelor fifteen ye older than you, old chap, that if you ever meet one I cannot imagine how she can discover you as the long looked for premium to catch, even if her only qualification was en expert ‘use of @ hook and line. ‘The real trouble is that the pres- emt day American girl of marriage- @ble age, and no matter in what walk of life, has the eagle eye in noticing the real merits of her men frtends as available for a husband, ‘while the poor, deluded bachelor flies around with @ big poster like a newly opened market, in front and back, marked “I am the prize catch of thie vicinity. Come, show your merit to get me for @ husband.” I have given eome idea of my age, and during that time have known many dear girls who married and are now the loveliest kind of wives and mothers. Have known some atil! eingle from ten to twenty years, but the trouble with me and with most bachelors of my kind is that, being dependent upon bosses for my Mving ani without private income, I never have had courage enough to risk matrimony for fear that I will not be able to support a wife to my own eatisfaction and to eult my taste. God biess the girls I have known, for all who married are living hap- pilx, and one of them would have made me happy had I not been the coward I proved to be and am now. ‘Take it from an old bach, girls, the decrease of present day matrimony fe not your fault as much as the fault of men like me, plain cowards who have acquited tastes far above thelr incomes, even in supporting the most sensible and economical wives.

They have prospered and are happy— thanks largely to the woman, but Still more to the golden gift of con- tent and the lack of envy. Both are highly educated, oultured, fopd of high class music, Hterature, &c., but with Ittle use for vulgarity or trash, There ie no reason why a very fair percentage of married People should not be Ike them—4df the woman will take the trouble. ONE OF THEM, NINE OUT OF TEN GIRLS BLUN- DER WHEN THEY MARRY. Dear Madam: As su as hard work 4s the best preventive against unhappiness—be {t among married or unmarried people—just as much of a fact it 1s that the hardworking, poor married man and itkewise his wite usually get along well and sensibly together. The “problems” concern mostly rich and {dle people, and it is a ain to give their troubles the benefit of as honest and true a word es “problems” and all the wasted time and ink in finding an excuse for their unhappiness. Nine out of ten girls marry men whom eer- vant girls would have sense enough not to consider seriously es future husbands, I mean girls of well to do families. And when those girle have married, after a year or less of courting in clubs, restaurants, cabarets, &c., where they have thor- oughly enjoyed their future hus- bands’ smartness in high class dis- sipation, they, when wives, wonder that the men do not give up their lttle nonsense—which the pair have enjoyed #0 much together before the marriage.

He had an ap- pointment for the afternoon with Repre- sentative A.

Mr. Palmer was floor leader of the Wilson candidacy at the Baltimore oon- vention. On the way from Princeton to-day Paul YONKERS STE Nine Vehicles Thaf Took Place of Trolleys Ordered to Stop Running. The good folk of Yonkers who thought that their eufferings trom the street car strike, which has been prevailing since the firat of the year, could not be worse had an unhappy awakening to-day. Siz big electric and three horse moving vans which have been carrying them three miles to the Van Cortlandt subway eta- ton were out of service. Jere Naughton and the five other van operators, who have bees ving com- muters of the task of walking three imtles to the subway, were summoned to Morrisania Court, They were served with the notices last right calling on them to answer for operating in New York City mits public vehicles which did not have fixed seats and windows. The action of the New York police left one Vix, who has two eightseeing ‘buses, with @ monopoly, and he promptly raised his prices from 15 cents & trip to % to Van Cortlandt station and ® back to Yonkers, He adopted th: that It was worth more to get home than to leave home in adjusting thip schedule, A meeting between Bernard Reardon, counsel for the Yonkers hackmen, and & number of citizens was held last night and to-day, Reardon called on Mayor Thomas Lennon and wi him to ask Mayor Gaynor w relax the Health Department rules in view of the emergency. Mayor Lennon was reported to be work on an answer ¢o the letter he received from President Whitridge of the ratiway company Saturday, in which Mr. Whitridge said that he was unable to break the strike until the Yonkers council rescinded the ordinance forbidding the company to employ mo- tormen or conductors unless they had fifteen days’ instruction on cara in Yon- kers. Mayor Lennon was understood to be making a demand on Mr. Whitridge that he submit the grievances of the men to arbitration, ‘The trains of the Putnam division and main line of the New York Central were as overcrowded and irregular as last week, and many people, as they had last week, elected to stay at home rather than ride on them or take the three-mile walk to the subway. F, W. Stevens, Chairman of the up- State PubHo Service Commission, wrote a sharp note to Mayor Lennon to-day asking what steps had been taken to- ward revoking the fitteen-day rule. The mrikers are confident that they can hold the council in line and prevent the re- peal of the ordinan MORGAN GOING AWAY ON ANNUAL TRIP.
