ELECTRICITY ATTENDS, HIM
By A. R. GROH.
Mr. Loaf 'O'Bread travels' stylishly
nowadays from Doughtown to Bread
villc in his "electric."
My, my, yes. And Omaha has the
largest electric oven in the world.
It is in the plant of the U. P. Steam
Baking company, Thirtieth and Evans
streets, a big concern that has been
baking here in ever-increasing quan
tities since its organization in I808.
The company's numerous other
ovens are heated, some by anthracite
coal and others by superheated steam.
The electric oven was put in as an
experiment and is giving wonderful
satisfaction.
P. F. Petersen, president of the
company, showed me the electric
oven. Outwardly it looks like the
others, except that it ,has eighteen
electric switches on the front wall.
They are just like your electric light
switch. They control the heat at the
front, middle and back of each of the
four compartments of the oven. The
heat can be made "low," "medium or
"high" in any part of the oven by
means of these switches.
Doughty Soldiers.
Here conies a regiment bf pans of
dough, all jhining bright. There are
720 in the regiment and they are des
tined, to be S-cent loaves. Into the
nice clean compartments of the oven
they troop. The interior is lighted
by electricity. There they bask m
470 to 500 degrees of perfectly-radiated
electric heat, for about half an
hour. The skilled eye of the baker
can tell just when they are done right.
Then out they come, crisp-crusted,
delicately-browned. perfectly-baked
loaves with a most delicious aroma
that makes your mouth water and
makes you' wish for butter and a lit
tle currant jelly and a cup o' mocha.
U-m-m! "
The luxury of traveling in an elec
tric" certainly agrees with our friend,
Mr. Loaf O'Bread. ,
Thus has the staff of human life
kept race with the human life of which
it is the staff. In the early days of
civilization the . bread dough was
merely put in the hot ashes of the
fire and covered- up. It fame, out
pretty well caked with afhes.'But
people weren't particular in those
days.
The Dutch Way.
Then came the Dutch xeji, built
out-of-doors. You kept a big jood
fire going in it for several hour's, till
the bricks were very hot; then you
pulled out the ashes and' put- in the
bread. Next came ovens heated by
a wood fire underneath; which .are
still in use by many bakers.' Then
came ovens heatea by hard coal and
then those heated by superheated
steam. And now the electric.
"This electric oven," said Mr. Pe
tersen, "has the advantage of heat
ing up quickly. A heat of 470 to 500
degrees is required to bake bread
perfectly. The electric oven will get
Hp this temperature in about an hour
and a- half. A- coal or steam oven
takes about five hours, if you once let
it get old. The electric oven radiates
it's heat perfectly and uniformly,
which is very important There is no
bother with ashes or soot. It is so
1 clean you could operate it in your
parlor. , . .-
Rine Wants Many '
'- Changes in Charter
:. City Attorney Rine is getting up an
appetite for his Christmas dinner by
working on a batch of Omaha city
charter amendments to be handed to
the Douglas county delegation for in
troduction in the legislature next
month.
It is proposed to amend that sec
tion of the chapter which limits street
improvement districts to one street,
by extending the city's authority to
include intersecting streets. Provi
sion will be made to remove the max
imum of $50,000 in the case of open
ing or widening a street without re
ferring to vote of the people, the case
in point being the proposed widening
of Twenty-fourth street.
In the proposed charter amend
ments the City Planning commission
will be given wider authority. It is
probable that the health commis
sioner will be given more specific
jurisdiction over medical inspection
of educational institutions of the city,
the public and parochal schools being
particularly in the minds of the city
officials.

"My little' daughter ten years old was
troubled whh eczema. The first appear
ance of the breaking out was in the form
.of a rough red rash which seemed to itch
and bum so that she could not keep from
scratching it. It took the form of hard
dry crusts later. It was very irritating.
Sometimes her clothing irritated so she
could not rest very well. The trouble
lasted about two years before using Cu
ticura Soap and Ointment 1 used three
large-sized cakes of Cuticura Soap and
four boxes of Cuticura Ointment, and
it took about two months to heal the
trouble." (Signed) Mrs. A. Foote, Pal

Talks to J. Barleycorn
His joy as the result of the Kaiser
