be Resumed This Morning.
The ninth annual tennis tournament
for the championship of New England
was to have opened at the New Haven
Lawn club grounds at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning. but owing to the rain IL
was impossible to go on with the pre-
liminary rounds. BY O'clock, how
ever, the rain had ceased and the
grounds became partially dried,
so that the management with great
good judgment decided to start the
tournament. Although the grounds
were dried off to some extent the courts
were nevertheless slippery and in such
a condition that no unusually good
plays could be made. The doubles were
played yesterday, the playing being
mostly in the preliminary rounds in the
singles, which resulted as follows: NJ,

prize will be open to those who are de-

Health Officer Wright Suggests the Ne
cessity of Such an Off1cer-Little Abate-
ment in the Cases of Diphtheria-Anti-
Toxine Administered With Good Re-
suits.
At the meeting of the board of health
last evening DIR. Archibald Mcneil was
appointed bacteriologist at the sugges-
ton of Health Officer Wright, who said
the necessity of the appointment of a
competent and experienced physician to
the position was being made more ap-
parent every day.
Dr. Mcneil has had large experience
in the archaeological field and is will
ing to serve the city in all diphtheria
cases without compensation. The
board voted to pay DIR. Mcneil in all
other cases.
Health officer Wright reported for
May IA death from scarlet fever, "a
from diphtheria, and 127 from measles.
The eastern section of the city has
been most affected by dipi1theria dur
ing April, there being no less than thir-
ty cases since the first of the month
in this part of the city. Antf-toxine
mas peeH administered III twenty -t"o
cases. The board allowed S100 to the
health officer for the use of the virus.
The session of the board was not
held in the usual meeting place last
evening, owing to a leakage in the tank
of the closet in the room above. The
water overf1owed the boards room,
running the carpet and much of the fur
niture. The ceiling in the clerk of city
courts room, which is directly below
the board of health, was considerably
damaged also.

THE BREAD OF THE WORLD.
What This Important Food Is Made OF L
Different Countries.

What This Important Food Is NIado OF In
Different Countries.
In England and America wheat bread
is within the reach Of all, and scarcely
is thought given to the fact that only
small portion Of the earth's inhnbit-
ants enjoy it. 1t is only during the last
century that wheat bread has come into
common use. A hundred years ago
wealthy families in England used only
peck Of wheat year and that at
Christmas, eating oat cakes during the
remainder Of the time.
The German "pumpernickel'' is a
rye bread with a curious, sour taste, but
after eating it awhile one acquires quite
taste for it. 1t is less nutritious than
that Of wheat. In the poorer parts of
Sweden the people bake their rye bread
only twice year and store it away, so
that eventually it is as hard as bricks.
Farther north still barley and oats be-
come the chief bread corn. But in the
distinct north is where man is put to
thought to provide himself with bread.
In Lapland If q man trusted to grain he
would starve, 80 the people exc out
their scanty store Of oats with the inner
bark OF the pine, and after grinding this
mixture it is made into largo fiat cakes,
which, after all, are not half bad.
In dreary Kamohatka the pine or
birch bark by itself, we'll ground, pound
ed and baked, constitutes the whole of
the native bread food. Bread and butter
is represented by dough of pine bark
spread with seal fat. In certain parts of
Siberia the people not only grind the
pine bark, but cut off the tender shoots,
which procedure must give the bread an
unpleasantly resinous flavor.
In Iceland the lichen is soraped off the
rook, made into bread puddings and put
into soup. In Russia and China buck
wheat is pressed into service. 1t makes
palatable bread, though Of dark vic
let tinge.
In Italy and Spain chestnuts are cook
ed, ground into meal and used for bread
and soup thickening. Millet furnishes a
white bread in Arabia, Egypt and India.
This grain is credited with being the
very first used in breadlnaking.
Rice bread is still the staple food of
the Chinese, japanese and Indians.
In the Indian archipelago the starohy
pith of the sage palm is made into bread,
and in parts of Africa the natives use n
certain root for the same purpose.
