Nutritious Bread.
The -four passing through the finest
silk cloth is the much-admired "pastry
whites" but it must be remarked, OBJ
serves the Sanitary Record, that only
certain kinds of wheat yield this to per-
lection; pastry -four, moreover, is so
excessively starchy as to make but in
ferior bread by the English process, a
defect the French and German bakers
overcome in their "white bread" by a
totally different method, known in
Vienna as "aufrischen. A less snow
white -four passing through slightly
coarser silk, is the material for what
the baker sells as "best bread" and
the darker and rather speckled -four
from which this is bolted constitutes
the seconds of which this "house-
hold bread" is baked The finer and
winter the bread, the more starchy and
less fesh-formingi must be, and in even
a larger proportion the deficiency of the
phosphate and other salts is inevita-
BILE. It is true that many persons pre-
fer the delicate-looking and mild-fla-
vored white bread, and it would be folly
to declare that the majority of the bet
ter classes perform bodily labor or take
so much exercise as to require more
nourishment than white bread affords !;
but the very fact that SO many physi-
clans have of late noticed in their writ
ings-namely, the much longer period
required for the digestion of fine bread
is distinct and important objection
to its use among the inactive and
sedentary. -
