recipe for broad, whore he adds, by chemical
process, the important elements ofnutrition which
the miller has bottled from the -four. But he
docs not approve Of the process, considering il
iniurious He also tells of q method adopted in
Paris, at the suggestion of Mege MowrieH, (which
neither leaves out Of the -four any important ee-
ments, nor adds thereto anything injurious. IL
simply restores elements Of the groats and bran !;
hut the question 30 my mind is, why be at such
trouble and to get the bran out, and then be at
equal trouble and expense 10 get II back again r.

Dr. Bellows gives us recipe for what he calls
"natural bread, but few women could make

two cups Of the coldeet leo or spring water, and

fingers as you stir corn meal into boiling hasty
pudding; the idea is 20 let the -four swell by slow
degrees in the water. Stir slowly in this manner
till it Is al thick as hasty pudding, and you can
take up large spoonful without it dropping of.
II is better to beat II in the open mir, at window
or door. piece ofice left in the water improves
it, for it must be kept as cold as possible. When
well beaten say twenty minutes in all, I'll each
