dation.
Norman H. Davis, president of the
foundation board of trustees announc
ed Thursday that Viscount Cecil had
been chosen unanimously by the jury
of award as the person “who had .ren
dered the most meritorious service of
a public character looking toward the
establishment of peace through just- j
ice, and who had done most to give j
effect to the ideals and the great plan }
for world peace to which Mr. Wilson j
gave so much thought and effort.”
The jury sat at Boston under chair
manship of Dr. Charles W. Eliot,
president emeritus of Harvard uni
versity. High lights in the English
man’s qualifications for the $25,000
prize were listed as:
“For five years he has carried on
the ideals of Mr. Wilson.
“In the Italo-Grecian crisis a year
ago he fought for peace, for media
tion, for a fair settlement with an
honesty and a rightness which could
not be denied.

BACTERIOLOGY IN
THE KITCHEN
dr. rnibenuK n. orbew
* CMUtor of «IIB*I.TH"
ifUrORT people think of germs or
microbes,as awful things which
produce disease. So they are, some
of them.
But there are also good germs that
i work for man when he knows enough
I to let them.
Pasteur, In 1802, showed that the nlr
and the soil are full of germs of all
j kind?, some of which he proved are
: the cause of fermentation nprt some of
the diseases of animats m men.
At once, sclentillc men all over the
world began to look for these little
creatures. They fotmd many different
kinds and they also were able to ex
plain by them ninny everyday things
which hnd for centuries been misun
derstood.
When the housewife In the kitchen
mixes her dough for brend, she puts
I In a small amount of yeast, * Why 1 i
Because she knows from her mother's
teaching and from her own experience
that the, bread won't “rise” unless the
yeast Is pnt in.
What is yeast? The human race has
used It for ages. When the angels
came to visit Lot, before they de>
stroyed Sodom and Gomorrab, he gave
them “imlearen bread,” that Is, bread
made without yeast. God commanded
the children of Israel, through Moses,
that the feast of the Passover was to
be of unleaven bread, because they
were not to wait even for the bread
to rise before leaving Egypt- Every
one knew for centuries that yensf jvas
needed to make bread rise, hut uo.ontP
knew why. If, i
In 1879, ftousen and Pasteur showed j
that yeast was a little plant which
grew very rapidly in warm, moist
dough; that ns It grew, it gave off car
bonic, acid gas. The gas made little j
bubbles In the dough and so made it
light. f
Pasteur found that there were differ
ent kinds of yeast. Some made sweet j
bread, some, made sour. lie showed
the bakers how to make pure yeast, j
which would always make sweet bread. :
Fermentation was another mystery, j
Why did fruit and vegetable juices fer- !
meat and turn sour? Pasteur found
that It was due to little plants floating
Intne air; that If the fruit was heated
so as to kill any of these plants that
may be in it and then put In airtight
cans of jars, It would keep without
spoiling.
Every housekeeper, when she hakes
bread or puts up fruit. i« running n
practical bacteriological laboratory and
Is using the knowledge which Pasteur
gave the world.
Before Pasteur’s ttaie there wasn’t
a can of fruit, vegetable or meat In
the world.
Today, w.e can every year millions of
pounds of food-for future use.
