FISH AND GRAHAM BREAD.-ProL f.
II. Storer, Minnesota philosopher, under
takes 10 destroy two pet ideas which have
hitherto given much comfort to many cy-
cellent people He says: Nothing can be
more absurd thsn to suppose that a fish
diet is especially adapted for feeding the
brain. Fish Is not especially rich in phos.
phorus, and if it were, neither fish nor
phosphorus has tendency to go TO the
BRAIN.
Then he commits assaul, and battery
upon another article of food-Graham
bread-which has so long held Its place as
a health giving and longevity promoting
substance. He says that the current no
ton that white bread is less nutritious than
brown bread is an odd fancy, entirely
without foundation, As o matter OF fact
white bread is preferable as an arti-
Gle Of food because OF its comparatively
easy digestion. Graham bread, the Pro.
lessor explains, Is preferable for people
afflicted in various ways, but not for
healthy pe0ple-lt is precisely because OF
the difficulty Of ulgesting bran thai
unbOlted flour possesses the qualities which
render il suitable tor some people; but
white bread is far less likely TO cause dis
tress TO most people than brown bread. SO
far. then. as healthy people are concerned,
Graham bread must go. Thus Car has Mr..
Storer enlightened the world to date. But

Dutch Cattle.

There has been very much discussion,
often neither good.tempered nor profitable,
concerning the name of the large black.

The name Holstcin Is most common IN
this country, being more generally recOg-
niZed by agricultural associations. lIol-
stem formerly belonged TO Denmark, now
to Prussia. 1t lies north Of Holland. Not
many OF the cattle called by the name are
imported from Holstem. 1t is claimed by
some that the good qualities Of the Dutch
