Bread and butter are the only articles of food

meat as one pound OF butchers roast beef

more OF n1triment would be added Unfortu-
nately. The bran. the coarsest part OF which
gives soundness TO the teeth and strength 10 ths

pounds OF flour give TO the body thirty pounds

Of bran gives more than one hundred and
twenty five pounds. The bone IS lime, the
phosphate Of lime, the indispensable alinent
of health to the whole human body, from the
want of the natural supply of which multi

But swallowing phosphates in the shape OF

bread made out of the whole grain, whether
