Hall, in his Journal of Health, gives
us the following bit of wisdom:
BREAD and butter are the only arti.
cles Of food of which we never tire
from early childhood to old age. A
pound of fine flower or Indian meal
contains three times as much meat as
one pound Of butchers roast beef, and
if the whole product of the grain, bran
aud all, were made into bread, fifteen
per cent more nntriment would be add
ed. Unfortunately the bran, the coars-
est part, is thrown away, the very part
that gives soundness to the teeth and
strength to the brain. Five hundred
pounds of -four gives the body thirty
pounds of the bony element, while the
same quantity of bran gives more than
one hundred and twenty-five pounds.
This bone is lime. the phosphate Of
