(To THE EDITOR. Or THE "SPECTATOR."]

SIR,—I was intereeted in the eecipe you gave a fortnight ago for bread-making with potatoes, and was anxious to experiment. My grocer and my baker, however, tell me that they are not allowed to sell yeast. Can you tell me if it is possible to obtain yeast P —I am, Sir, &T., L. M. H. [There is no prohibition that we know of against selling yeast. There certainly ought not to be, for bread made at home according to the recipe we gave ensures great economy.—Bn. Spectator.]
