UNWHOLESOME BREAD.

stomach.
Fresh-bakcd. ferImentcd bread is I'M
wholesome for the reason that it has
not yet undergone the change by which
the baking is completed. Take a bit of
the inside of Il loaf and roll it between
the thumb and finger. and il will form
Il mass almost as hard as Il bullet be-
cause of the large amount of free moist
urr which it contains. I;y the next
day this free water will undergo
chemical combination with the par
ticlcs Of flour. and then if it
be rubbed between the thumb and fin
ger it will crumble. This molecular
combination is the same as that by
which moisture in the air from a boiling
kettle Of water il first sensible as steam
and thcn become diffuScd into the air
nf the room. SO the water in til" bread
is first sensible, and a%fterward rendered
microscopic in connection with the
gluten. Take a loaf of stale bread. put
il back in the oven. heat il To a high
temperature and il becomes like new
bread. the moisture being again free.
New bread when taken into the stom-
ach forms hard masses as il doeS when
rolled between the fingers. and the only
way the gastric juice can act upon it is
from the outside of the lump. If bread
is in condition to crumblc. the gastric
juice can attack it readily. These bull
lets of dough of new bread are dis
solved by the gastric juice in the same
relative SlOwncss as the air of 4 warm
room would dissolve large chunks of
ice. when if it were broken into minute
fragments. the air would reach it from
all sides. and speedily convert it into
water.-Dr. J. II. Kellogg.

chemist Of the department from Med

very successful run with the new

and estimates that the molasses will

TO answer in practice the favorable
anticipations derived from expert
