SOME SANITARY ASPECTS OF BREAD
MAKING.
BY CYRUS EDSON, M. D.,
Health Commissioner, New York City.
It is necessary, if one would under-
stand the sanitary aspects of bread
making, to fully comprehend the pres-
ent theory held by scientists of ‘germs
and the part played by themin disease.
The theory of disease germs is merely
the name given to the knowledge had
of those germs by medical men, a knowl-
edge which is the result of innnmera-
ble experiments. Being this, the old
term of a ‘‘theory” has become a mis-
nomer. A germ of a disease is a plant,
£0 small that I do not know how to ex-
press intelligibly to the general reader
its lack of size. When this germ is in-
troduced into the blood cr tissues of
the body, its action appears to be an-
alogous 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 substance.
=
‘DISEASE GERMS FOUND THEIR
But the germs of the greater part of
the germ diseases, that is, of the infec-
tious and contagious diseases, will de-
velop or increase in number without
being in the body of a human being,
provided always yoa give them the
proper conditions. These conditions
are to be found in dough which is be-
ing raised with yeast. They are
warmth, moisture and the organic
matter of the fiour on which the germs,
after certain changes, feed.
It is necessary to remember at this
point that yeast is germ growth, and
when introduced into a mixture of glu-
cose or starch, in the presence tof
warmth and moisture sets up a fer-
mentation. If the mixture be a starchy
dough the yeast first changes a portion
of the starch into glucose and then de-
composes the glucose by changing it
into two new substances, viz., carbonic
acid gas and alcohol.
Now the glutten, which is also a con-
stituent 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’ asan ajarm-
ist, nor am I willing ‘o say there is
very mauch 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 donbt
that other diseases have been and will
be carried about in the bread.
I have met journeymen bakers, suf-
{fering from cutaneous diseases, work-
ing the dough in the bread trough
with naked hands and arms. 1 have
no reason to suppose bakers are less
liable to cutancons diseases than any
‘other men, and Tknow, as every house-
wife knows, yeast-raised bread must be
worked a long time. This is an ex-
ceedingly 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 stair-
ways 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 up 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 hills that
underdone bread is unhealthfui. This
reputation has been earned for it by
the experience of countless genera-
tions, and no careful mother will wish
her children to eat bread that has not
been thoroughly cooked. The reason
given for this recognized unhealthtul-
ness has been that the uncooked yeast
dough is very difficult to digest. No
one but a physician would be apt to
think of disease germs which have not
been killed during the process of bak-
ing as a cause of the sickness following
the use of uncooked yeast bread. Yet
this result from this cause is more than
probable. I have not the slightest
doubt that could we trace back some
of the cages 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 =ater aud with it the
colonies of germs, that they have
found their way into the Llood and
that the call for our services which
followed, has rounded off this sequence
of events.
I have already pointed out that the
germs of disease are to be found in the
air and dust. The longer any sub-
stance to be eaten is exposed to the air,
the 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 col-
lecting disease germs during this pro-
cess 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
hands. 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 introduec-
tion 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 the yeast fungi—
the yeast ‘‘germ,” in other words.
These fungi effect a destructive fer-
mentation of a portion of the starchy
matter of the flour—one of the most
valuable nutrient elements in the flour.
WAY INTO THE YEAST BREAD.”
The fermentation produces ecerbonic
acid gas, and this, having its origin in
every little particle of the starch
which is itself everywhere in the flour,
pushes 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
mechanical. 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
bread enables the stomach to rapidly
and easily digest it, for the gastric
juices quickly soak into and attack it
from all sides. 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 de-
struction and without the ¢‘kneading”
process, which fills the dough with
germs and filth, and without the long
-
period during which the raising pro-
cess goes om, the gain in food and the
gain in the avoidance of the germs is
exceedingly plain.
But while we can easily see the
dangers which attend the use of yeast
it is certain that the vesiculating effect
produced by it on the dough is to the
last degree perfect. It is apparent
that if we are to substitute any other
system of bread making we must have
one which will give us, first, mechanical
results equally as good, that is, that
will produce minute bubbles of
carbonic acid gas throughout the mass
of dough. Now it isin no way diffi-
cult to produce carbonic acid gas
chemically, but when we are working
at bread we must use such chemicals
as are perfectly healthful. Fortunately
these are not hard to tind.
The evils which attend the yeast-
made bread are obviated bz the use of
a properly made, pure and wholesome
baking powder in lien of yeast. Bak-
ing powders are composed of an acid
and an alkali which, if properly com-
bined, should when they unite at once
destroy themselves and produce car-
bonic acid gas. A good baking pow-
der does its work while the loaf is in
the oven, and having done it, disap-
pears.
But care is imperative in selecting
the brand of baking powder to be cer-
taiu that it is composed of non-injuri-
ous chemicals. Powders containing
alum or those which are compounded
from impure ingredients, or thoss
which are not combined in proper pro-
portion or carefully mixed and which
will leave either an acidor an alkali in
the bread, must not be used.
It is well to soand a note of warning
in this direction or tho changs from
the objectionable yeast to an impure
baking powder will be a case of jump-
ing from the frying pan into the fire.
The best baking powder made 1s, as
shown by analysis, the ‘‘Royal.” Tt
contains absolutely nothing but cream
of tartar anl soda, refined to a chem-
ical purity, which when combined un-
der the intlueonze of heat an 1 moisture
BREAD WITHOUT YEAST— ‘‘THE MOST PERFECT OF ALL
ING IT.”
>
produce carbonic acid gas, and having
done this, disappear. Its leavening
strength has been found superior to
other baking powders, and as far as 1
know, it is the only powder which will
raise large bread perfectly. Its use
avoids the long period during which
the yeast made dough 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 and soda, are perfectly
harmless, even when eaten. But they
are combined in exact compensating
weights, so that when chemical action
begins between them they practically
disappear, the substance of both hav-
ing been taken tip to form the carbon-
ic 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 mix-
ture is then sifted several times and
this insures that in every part of the
flour there shail be a few particles of
the powder. The salt and milk or wa-
ter being added, the dough is made up
as quickly as possible and moulded
into the loaves.
These are placed in the oven and
baked. But the very moment the
warmth and moisture attack the mix-
ture of cream of tartar and soda, these
two ingredients chemically combine
and carbonic acid or leavening gas is
evolved. The consequence may be
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 disease to get into the dough
and thence into the stomach, more
than that the bread is necessarily as
sweeb as possible, there having been
no time during whieh 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 affect the souring process.
It will be strange if the crowds of
visitors to the World’s Fair do not
greatly increase the number of con-
tagious diseases, which we will have to
treat. Under these cirenmstances is
it noi folly of follies to open a single
channel through which these germs
may reach us? Is it not the part of
wisdom to watch with the greatest care
all that we cat and drink, and to see
that none but the safestand best meth-
ods are employed in the preparation
of our food? To me it sesms zs
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 I
have shown how that danger may be
avoided. The ounce of prevention
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 al-
most absolutely. Those who eat bread
or biscuits or rolls made at home with
Royal baking powder may be sure they

THE SHERMAN ACT.
reaper
A History ofthe Circumstances Attend-
ing Its Passage and Some Account
of Its Provisions and Its
Workings.
— fp =
When the act of 1873 was passed the
silver dollar was worth more as bullion
than as money. It had therefore disap-
peared from circulation and no objection
was made at the time to the provision of
the act stopping its coinage. The silver
mine owners found it in fact more profit-
able to sell their product in the market
for bullion than to the Government. The
world’s average annual production of
silver from 1866 to 1870 was $60,250,-
000, and of gold $133,850,000. During
1871-1875 the annual fignres were re-
spectively $88,625,000 and $119,050,000,
while during the period 1876-1880 they
were $112,500,000 and $119,975,000.
Naturally after the passage of the act of
1873, owing to the great increase in
silver production and the standstill in
that of gold, silver fell rapidly in value
and the silver mine owners found that
conditions were reversed and that it
would be more profitable to sell their
product to the Government for coinage
purposes than as bullion on the open
market as before, a fact which had large
large influence in securing the passage of
the act of 1878. In 1873 the gold value
of the bullion in a coined silver dollar was
$1004, in 1878 it was only .891.
The act of 1878, as has has been men-
tioned, contained a provision for the
issuing ot paper certificates of not less
than $10 1n exchange for silver coin de-
posited and redeemable in the same. The
act of August 8, 1886, provided for the
issue of silver certificates of one, two and
five dollar denominations in lien ot cer-
tificates of larger denominations. On
April 8, 1886, the House rejected by a
vote of 163 to 126 a bill for the free coin-
age of silver. In his message to Con-
gress on December 8, 1885, Presi-
dent Cleveland said that since Feb-
ruary, 1878, the Government had under
the compulsory provisions of the Bland
law purchased silver bullion and coined
the same at the rate of more than $2,-
000,000 every month. By this process
up to the date of the message 215,759,-
431 silver dollars had been coined. The
necessity for such an addition to the sil-
ver currency, the President said, as was
compelled by the act, was negatived by
the tact that only about 50,000,000 of
the silver dollars so coined had actually
found their way into circulation, leaving
more than 165.000,000 of them in the
possession of the Government. the cus-
tody of which had entailed a cohsiderable
expense for the construction of
vaults of deposit. Against this
latter amount there were out-
standing silver certificates amounting
to about $93,000,000. Mr. Cleveland
predicted very evil effects from the con-
tinnaace of the coinage under the act
and said that gold would eventually be
driven out of the country or be hoarded.
He therefore recommended the suspen-
sion of the compulsory coinage of silver
dollars.
Owing to the refunding of ine Govern-
ment’s bonds at much lower rates of 1n-
terest, the National banks greatly cur-
tailed the circulation of their notes based
on such bonds. In his message to Con-
gress of December 3, 1889, President
Harrison said that the total amount of
money of all kinds in circulation on March
1, 1878, was $805,793,807, while on
October 1,1889, the total was $1,405,-
018,000. There was an increase of
$203.417,656%2 in gold coin, of $57,554,-
100 in standard silver or Bland dollars,
of §72.311,249 in gold certificates, of
$276,619,715 in silver certificates based
on Bland dollars deposited in the Treas-
ary, and of $14,073,787 in United States
notes, making a total of $713,976,408.
There was during the same period a de-
crease of $114,109,729 in bank cir-
culation, and of $642,481 in sub-
sidiary silver. The net increase
was §599,224.193. The circulation per
capita had increased about $5. The price
of silver when the Bland law was passed
vas $1.20 4-10 per ounce, making the
bullion value of the dollar 93 cents.
Since that time the price had fallen as
low as 91.2 cents, making the bullion
value of the dollar 70.6 cents. Within
the past few months the price had some-
what advanced, and the value of the dol-
lar as bullion at. the date of the message
was 72 cents. The President said that
some favorable conditions had contrib-
uted to maintain the practical equality
in their commercial use between
the gold and silver dollars,
but some of these were trade con-
ditions that statutory enacgments did
rot control and of the continuance of
which we could not be certain. If we
should make the coinage of silver at the
existing rates free we must expect that
the difference in tte bullion value of the
gold and silver dollars would be taken
account of in commercial transactions,
and it was to be feared that the same re-
suit would follow any considerable in-
crease of the present rate of coinage per
month. Such a result would be discred-
itable to our financial management and
disastrous to all business inter-
ests. Nothing more harmful could
happen to the silver interests.
Any safe legislation upon the
subject must secure the equality of the
two coins in their commercial uses. The
President further said that he had al-
ways been an advocate of the use of
silver in our currency; we were large
producers of that metal and should not
discredit ft. He then referred to the
plan to be presented by the Secretary of
the Treasury for the issuance of notes or
certificates upon the deposit of silver
bullion at its market value, saying it had
been formulated so late that he had not
had time to carefullv consider its details.
The bill prepared by Secretary Windom
on the above lines was introduced in the
House by Mr. Conger, of Iowa, on Jan-
nary 20, 1890, and referred to the Com-
mittee: on Coinage, Weights and
Measures, which reported it back
March 26. On Jone 7 a substitute,
which had been agreed upon by a Repub-
lican caucus, was passed by the House,
the title being, ‘*an act to direct the pur-
chase ot silver bullion and the issue of
silver notes thereor. and for other pur-
>> On June 18 the Senate passed a
tute by way ot amendment provid-
ing among other things for the free
coinage of silver and the title of the
measure was changed to read, ‘‘a bill
to provide for the free coinage of silver
bullion and other purposes.” The House
refused to concur in the Senate amend-
ments and « conference committee was
appointed which agreed upon a bill
which was passed by both Senate and
House and rcceived the President’s ap-
proval on July 14, 1890, and which has
been generallv known as the Sherman
act. This act directed the Secretary of
the 'lreasury to purchase 4,500,000
ounces of silver bullion each month at
the market price. not exceeding $1 for
871.25 grains of pure silver, and to issue
in payment therefor treasury notes in
denominations of not less than €1 nor
more than $1.000. Such notes were
made redeemable in coin, either gold or
silver, at the discretion of the Secretary
of the Treasury, and might be re-issued,
but no greater or less amount
of them should be outstanding
at any time than the cost of
the silver bullion and the standard silver
dollars coined therefrom then held in the
Treasury purchased by such notes, which
were to be a legal tender for all debts
except where otherwise provided. Until
July 1, 1891, 2,000,000 ounces per month
nf the bullion purchased was to be coined
into standard dollars, and after that date
B0 much was to be coined as might be
uecessary to provide for the redemption
of the Treasury notes issued for the
bullion and any seignorage was to go to

established policy of the Nation to main-
tain silver and gold at a parity. The
provision of the Bland act requiring tne
coinage of not less than £2 000,000 and
not raore than £4.000,000 worth of silver
dollars ner month was repealed.
Under the Snerman act ine coinage of
the Bland dollar practically ceased in
1891. From January 1 to June 30, 1892,
only 82,445,991 silver dollars were
coined, and since the latter date the
coinage of them has been very small
Since the passage of the Bland act of
1818, about 419,000.000 silver dollars
have been coined, of which $60,000,000
remain in circulation. the balance being
covered by silver certificates or are lying
vile in the Treasury. During that peri
the price of silver bullion has so decreased
that the value of the siiver in the dollar
has fallen from 91.2 cents to as low as
about 48 cents, and is now about 55
cents. Under the Sherman act up to the
first of this month, 156,000,000 ounces of
silver had been purchased, of which 26,-
000,000 had been coined, the balance re-
maining in the Treasury. The certificates
1ssued for this bullion have been re-
deemed in gold. The bullion in Treasury
is now worth about $35,000,000 less thaa
avas paid for it.
