SO many prominent physicians are making
such good case against eating bread that
IL seems proper that people in general who
eat large quantities of starchy foods should
know that such diet is coming to be con
sidered n menace 20 health. Bread il said to
contain from 30 Go 40 per cent of starch. 1t
~ hard TO digest and makes great and un-
necessary strain on the digestive apparatus.
Or. Densmore OF New York and other Ameri-
can writer's on hygiene believe in n universal
reform in this particular. Mr. L. r. o'Con.
nor, in London paper, recently made some
very interesting statements Ho said that
persons who have strictly abstained from
bread eating have retained their faculties to
an unusual age Sir Isaac Holden was an
example. He lived 0l years, the greater
number OF which were spentin active work
and out OF Parliament lie smoked and drank
in moderation. His friends believe his long
life and remarkable vitality are 90 be attrib-
utod 60 tho fact that he avoided all foods rich
IN starch. There are exceptions TO the rule
that starch is unhealthy. Rice, for instance,
: readily dgestod.

PRICE OF SILVER.
Its Fall Due Principally TO Increased
Supply Caused by Cheap Production.

The last number of The Journal OF,
Political Economy contains an interest
ing article by Edward 5. Meade on
"The Fall In the Price of Silver. The
facts produced by Mr.. Meade make it
clear that the price of silver has fallAn
for the same reason that prices of nails,
steel rails, calico and Of most other
manufactured articles have fallen-im-
proved and cheaper methods of produc-
tion. In spite of the great decline in
price since 1888 production has increased
80 per cent The rapidly increasing
supply of silver and the equally rapid
decline in price are undoubtedly re-
sponsible for most of the demonetization
acts which have occurred since 1878 and
which are now becoming so numerous
that it seems likely that, as our director
of the mint says, it will be less than Is
years before every country on the face
of tho earth will have adopted the gold
standard.
