Hot Roll*
Now that cooler weather is peeping
around the corner (it is probably not;
the s4me corner around which pros
perity is hiding) our home-making
mind turns to hot. breads. Many of
us haven't bothered to make rolls all
summer—at least not regularly. The
family will enjoy theit appearance,
and they may be made with very lit
tle effort, or you may takes lots of
pains with them. Suit your conveni
ence.
Some common faults found in rolls .
are:
1. Heaviness—due to low grade flour
or not rising sufficiently before bak-1
ing. Using liquid that has not cooled
sufficiently Will kill in entirety or in
part the delicate yeast plants, and
there is little or nothing to raise the*
dough. This last cause is the one
most ConrauMt for a beginner's failure.
.The liquid should be blood heat or,
feel barely warm to the hand.
2. Tough crust—due to being under
light when put into the oven;,excess
of salt; poor-flour, or too much han
dling after it is light.
3. Pale crflst—due to drying of rolls
during rising; excessive salt, or im
proper cooking temperature.
4. Streaks through the roll—due to;
addition of too much flour at molding
stage or drying on top 'of doifgh be
fore molding. Dough should be cov
ered carefully to prevent drying. Oil
ing ithe top of dough set to rise either
before or after molding is an aid to re
taining moisture.
5. Coarse grain—due to excessive
rising before baking or being placed
in too low a temperature to start bak-'
ing. The proper temperature for bak-i
ing rolls stops the rising process and
kills the yeast lirst thing. Browning
follows and thorough baking through
and through. In electric oven 375 to,
4(10 degrees is hot enough. If rolls are
placed in a hotter oven than 400 de
grees they are apt to either get too
brown "or not be thoroughly done in
side. Small rolls will bake in 20 min- ;
utes, but longer is necessary for large
rolls. Rolls placed close together re
quire longer to bake.
Some homemakers art using thi- fol
lowing method and finding it satis
factory for rolls and muffin*. The heat
shield is removed from the oven, and
the rolls placed on a plain rack near
the center of the oven. (The darker
the pan the higher it should be placed,}
With te termostat set at 500 decrees
(it will never get there) turn top and
bottom units on high for five minutes. 1
Then switch both units to medium for
five minuies, at which" time turn them j
to low for five minutes. Both swiches
are then turned off, but the rolls are ■
left five minutes longer. Only small
rolls are satisfactory by this methid
and not every one likes the result with
small rolls. It is quite satisfactory
>for "muffins. To preheat the oven (with '
the heat shield in) to 375 to 4(H) de- '
grees and bake 20 to 30 minutes al- 1
ways gives satisfactory results*
The following recipe is the very ;
simplest process by which rolls may J
be made, They arc called—

Advertising—
THIS IS WORTH READING
Display advertising in which the articles adver
tised are fully described has proved to be the.most ef
fective by far. Tests on advertising were made some
time ago by the Chicago Tribune. Advertisements in
which the descriptions of various articles were limited
to one or two lines were run along with others carrying
five lines of descriptive matter. The latter proved to
have double the response.
Last Spring an Eastern concern made a complete
canvass of its trade territory to ascertain the type of ad
vertising with most appeal. Ninety per cent of those
questioned were found to favor full description of mer
chandise together with prices. A few favored price
alone and a smaller number favored the general pres
tige-building type. A merchant who is familiar with
his own merchandise is apt to think because he knows
every detail of the merchandise that every one else
does. That is not true. People like to know just what
they are going to buy; they like to have it described in
detail, even to size and dimensions.
Mail order houses discovered this early in the
game, and they have gone so far as to illustrate practi
cally every item of merchandise, some in* colors, and
described to the smallest detail. They sell entirely
through the printed word. What an advantage the lo
cal merchant has over the mail order catalog, if he
would advertise along similar lines.
Catalogs are printed twice a year, while your
county newspaper is printed twice a week. The mer
chant has the advantage of presenting seasonable ad
vertising—he has the advantage of personal contact.
The story of his goods is fresh each issue and the story
is news. He has the advantage of the newcomers in the
trade territory and the younger people who marry,
who, before, had no thought of where to buy. The field
is always widening for the local merchant if he has the
vision to go out and fight for the business.
To fight for business, all that is necessary is proper
advertising, which will sell the people on his store. The
merchant who advertises for business with regularity,
rain or shine, good roads or bad, is the merchant
is making advertising successful for him. The factjfcnatS
people know where his store is means little. Pebple
like to know just what this merchant is doing, what new
merchandise he has and why they should buy it. This
is a day of competition and advertising leads the way.
