Sho knowi that If her churn is sour It will taint the butter that Is made In It. The stomach Is a churn. In tlio stomach and digestive and nutrltlvo tracts are iMTfortncd pro cesses which aro almost exactly like the t'hurnlng of butter.

I'OKTAIILK SMOWKIt HATH. Apparatus for Providing Con:lniial Shower With Idttle Water. It Is uow possible for the ln'.lvi: ual to get a morning shower hiiii. no matter where he or Hhe Is located, as a Michigan man has iuvenlel .t portablo shower bath that ovrrco i.e. all difficulties usually met with. As shown In the Illustration, th.i portable shower bath consists o' a WATER PUMPED TO NOZZLE. shallow circular basin, wide enough for a person to stand in. Project ing from the edges is a deep inclin ed flange. A partition divides the tub Into two compartments. Mounted in one of the compartments is a pump, from which projects upright pipes and nozzle. The Inventor works on the assumption that but few gallons of water are available. Such being the case, It is placed In tho tub. It is then pumped by -t person standing in the tub to the nozzle, descending in the usual spray The duration of the bath is not lim ited on account of the meagre supply of water, as it Is possible to use the same water over and over again, as It eventually finds Its way back into the basin again. The entire appara tus can be quickly taken apart aod packed in a trunk. A New Kind of Dread. An entirely new kind of bread, made either of wheat or rye, is be coming popular in Germany, and Is likely soon to be Introduced into thli country. It la made of the whole grain but not according to any me thod hitherto familiar. The grain Is germinated by alter nate; steeping in warm water and aeration, this being accomplished ty a simple mechanical apparatus. As soon as rootlets appear it Is ready for use, and Is crushed to fineness between rollers, after which It Is dropped through a chute into an lroa ! trough on the floor below, where It Is kneaded by a machine. I The preliminary process is one of malting similar to the malting of I harlav All tha wntar llnnrt In rh sprouting process, which contains a lurge part of the mineral salts of tho grain, Is poured into the iron trough to make the dough. Thus nothing Is lost, the entire substance of the grain being Included in th dough, which, with the addition of yeast and salt, Is finally formed into loaves and baked In the ordinary fashion. The bread thus made Is said to have a delicious flavor. It is claimed .'or It that the process of germination makes the substances of the grain :ru;eh more digestible.
