UNHEALTHFUINEss OF TOAST.


Extract From Lecture by DIR. J. H. KeI.
logg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
While bread which is toasted proper
ly. that is, Drowned entirely through, is
very wholesome, that which is merely
surface toasted, as it is ordinarily
served, is very indigestible. BY the ap-
plication of slow, continuous heat, a
slice OF white bread is turned to a red
dish or brownish color all through.
By the action of heat the starch is
converted into dextrine, which is par
tial digestion. A delicate drink is some
times made for an invalid by taking the
brown crust from the outside of loaf
and making an infusion of it; or Ibis
zweiback, as twice-toasted bread is
called in German, can be used the same
way. But the inside of loaf of bread,
and the inside of slice of surface
Drowned toast, will not infuse this way
Fresh toast has simply little film Of
dextrine on the outside, while the in
side of the slice is in precisely the same
condition as newly-baked bread. A
loaf of bread just from the
oven is unfit to eat, because
the water in it is in such a
state the interior of the loaf can be
rolled into little bullets. hard enough
to be shot through a board When
these little bullets are taken into the
stomach, they lie there long time,
since tho gastric juice can dissolve
them but slowly from the surface.
just as a big lump Of ice dis
solves slowly under the action
OF warm water. At the same time,
there is mischief going on In
the stomach. for the germs which are
inside these little bullets-and the tenn
perature of the oven is not sufficient to
sterilize the interior of the loaf-are
hard at work, setting up decay and
putrefaction and poisonous substances
while the work of digestion goes slow
ly on. In fact, the result. in many
cases, is indigestion instead of diges-
ton.
If loaf of bread which has been
baked two days is put back again and
reballed, when taken out of the oven
the interior will be in precisely the same
condition as new bread. Just so in
toasting bread ordinarily. a little dex-
trine is made of the starch on the out.
side, while the inside of the slice is in
the same condition as the inside of
loaf that has just been baked or one
which has been rebaked. SO the pop.
ular method of toasting bread
for invalids is a great mistake The
right way is to slice the bread and put
it in the open and toast it all through.
A further objection to freshly-made
toast and to bread just from the oven is
that it is usually covered with butter
while hot, and this makes it one of the
most indigestible articles of food which
person can eat. These little bread
bullets saturated with butter are
impervious to the gastric juice,
so to say nothing of the germs which
are sure to be found in the butter. we
have an article of food prepared in a
most ingenious manner possible for in
digestion
Sweiback, properly prepared, issweet-
er, more palatable and more indigesti-
BILE than fresh toast. In soup, i'm milk
or in caramel coffee. it is easily macer-
Grated and is really a toothsome bit.

variety of forms as toast.-Reported by

The pop Of crackers and the rockets blare,

not take second glance to show him
of the land on which they both stood.
The first pattering drops of rain came
from the blackness overhead just as
both reached the goal.

"She is lost-have you seen her?'
Nom; that is" started Lank, in a
bewildered manner.
oh! what shall l do? She will be
killed in the storm. She left the house
and | have looked everywhere for the
child"
A sudden inspiration came to the
abashed man. He turned back the la
pei of the big blue coat and exposed the
peaceful, pretty face of the sleeping
child.
The delighted mother impetuously
leaned down and kissed the red cheeks
and then said in that low, sweet voice:
"Thank you so much"
That's all right That's all right"
jerbed out the man, and putting the
child down he began to dig out of the
leeward side of the stack great hand
fuls of hay, making a spacious recess
to shelter them.
The drenching shower was upon
them. The air was full of flying de-
bris-hay and weeds. But the center
of the destructive path was a quarter
OF mile distant, and they could see

YES, and she's good, too"
'She must be great comfort to yer?"
Il couldn't live without her."
Melancthon thought how neatly
formed was the mothers hand as it
rested on the child's head and somehow
wished he had courage to touch it.
''She might come over to see me some
times"
YES, she might-if you would let
her"
This was too much, and when he had
finished telling how greatly he should
enjoy the child's visit and had included
her mother in the invitation and had
explained about the land and they had
exchanged mutual condolences about
the Loneliness of prairie life. he was
almost sorry 60 see that the sky had
cleared and the setting July sun was
flooding the 9sis:ening plain.
The widow :loked toward her nome.
why, whers IS my cabin?" she asked,
in astonishment
Sure enough where was it? The
storm had level I'd it to the earth and
she was without e. home.
"Oh, well, yea can visit me now"
said Melancthou. I'm go down to the
store and stay with tn boys tonight"
So they trudged through the wet grass
TO his cabin and the widow got supper
for the three. 1t was such meal as
Melancthon had not eaten in years. 1t
so mellowed his heart that in the little
after-supper talk across the table while
Jane explored the odd corners of the
room he blurted out: ''Sposin' we
don't try to divide tn hay an land over
there-but jest own it together-an

approached the place.

The sale of Anne Hathaway's cottage

place for the sum of $l5, 900 has aroused
a very animated discussion in England,
many persons stoutly claiming that the
price was extortionate, while others
with equal veheinence assert that the
money has been well invested. One OF
the latter class is IL writer who. in the
course of long argument in support OF
his view of the matter says:
The quaint old building Of wood and plaster,
with the matched roof heavy cross barred
,mbers and beetling caves with their four
tiny easements beneath, Is of course worth
little enough; but when one remembers that IL
was here that the stripping of eighteen woocd
his wife, and that the greatest English genius
of all time found rest and welcome in the
homely parlor with its wide hearth and cor!

at Shottery is unique in all the world, the

CONGRESS
At Last Takes Action.

A bill has been introduced at Wash
ington requiring all baking powders con-
tanning alum and ammonia to be SO
labeled. This is step in the right
and has been long foreshad
owed by the action Of state Legislatures,
boards of health, food commissioners,
etc, in this matter. The bill affords
needed protection to the public, for the
evidence as to the injurious effects of
alum and ammonia is very heavy; but it
will nevertheless be fought bitterly by
the manufacturers whom it effects who
are accustomed to sell their goods as
"pure Cream of Tartar absolutely
pure, etc.
The bill is something needed. If a
maker uses a drug in his powder, the
name of which he does not want to have
printed on his label, it is prima facie evil
dence that there is something wrong
We hope the subject will be vigorously
prosecuted Ill over the country, not only
as regards baking powder, but also all
other food adulterations.
This bill may incidentally benefit the
makers OF pure articles, but il it should
