PALACES ABOUT FLOUR.
That Made by the Roller Process Nor

That Made by the Roller Process More
DigestibIe than Graham.
1t Is the general IL, cry among the
majority of people that graham bread
is far more digestible than that made
of -four thoroughly ''bolted" or separa-
ted from the bran and middlings. Such
does not appear to be the fact, however,
if we are to credit recent experiments
of the Department Of Agriculture. Di-
gestion experiments Were carefully car
ried out with bread made from each
of the several kinds of flour and the
proportions of protein assimilated and
rejected by the system carefully deter
mined. The whole wheat 1ours may
afford a greater proportion of the min
eral nutriments, however, as this phase
of the subject was not studied, but as
far as the available protein fats, car
bohydrates and energy are concerned
the patent roller fiours are preferable.
According to the chemical analysis of
graham, entire wheat and standard
patent flours milled from the same lot
of hard Scotch Fife spring wheat the
2faildUl HOuI ll1G ulS uCSl anu
the patent -four the lowest percentage
of total protein. The results of the di-
gestion experiments with these fours
showed that they were valuable III the
reverse order-that is. the standard
patent roller -four afforded the greatest
amount of assimilation protein, while
the graham and whole wheat afforded
lesser amounts. This paradox, that the
-four containing the smallest proportion
of protein should afford the greatest
proportion available for digestion, is
explained by the coarseness of the par
tieles of the whole wheat varieties. The
bran and germ of these fiours resist the
action of the digestive juices to a great
degree and consequently pass through
the system unaltered. On the other
hand, the finely ground condition of the
patent fiours improves its digestibility.
II was also shown that the addition
of wheat starch to -four did not inn
prove its bread-making qualities or the
size of the loaf. The most desirable
-four for bread-making appears to be
one produced by blending hard and soft
wheat fiours, in which the undesirable
properties of the gluten of each are
c0unterbalanced

So God has given every one of as an
