Pure Food
HAS MANY SIDES.

A professor of the University of Min
nesota recently gave an address before
a convention of millers on the subject
of flour This professor has made ex-
tended scientific experiments on the
value of different kinds of flour and
bread. In this address he emphasized
the merits of common white bread,
made from common wheat flour, or
patent flour, as 1T is called. Ac-
cording to his elaborate Investigations
white flour is far more easily digested
when in bread than graham, whole
wheat" or other kinds of -four from
which the coarser part has not been re-
moved. The professors conclusions In
the matter come as great relief. We
are. after all, not to become nation
of idiots because we eat so much white
bread. Many of the writer's on diet
and foods in the magazine and health
journals have sent out warnings, time
and again, to show that the bolted
wheat flour put in our bread would
make the Americans a nation of brain
less bipeds. There is some hope, now,
of avoiding this calamity.
In discussing the pure food question
the Philadelphia Item says: up in
one Of the inferior counties a product
labeled st1a wberry jelly was found to
great demand for sweet stuff of all
kinds. When it becomes fad every
body will eat sugar until they develop
a sour stomach, indigestion and dys-
pepsfa. The American people (some
of then9 have habit of thinking of
only one thing at a time and rushing it

thanksgiving
AN ANCIENT PRACTICE.

q
The first Thanksgiving day in all his
tory was the Hebrew Feast of the Taber-
nacles.
Three thousand years ago and more,
The Jews observed a feast
The Feast of Tabernacfes" called;
Twas held week, at least.
England's first national Thanksgiving
was Sept. 8, 1888, for the defeat of the
Spanish Armada
Only the United States keeps regular
annual national Thanksgiving
In 1888, the Massachusetts Bay Colony
set apart day for Thanksgiving. From
this, dates our November anniversary.
In sixteen twenty, we all know,
The Pilgrims landed here;
In cold and bleak December SHOWS.
AT Plymouth Rock so drear.
For months they suffered scanty store,
Till harvest brought release;
OF corn score of acres helped
And six of barley, peas.
For this they thanked kind Providence,
And held a festive day;
The Red Men from the forest came
To aid in their odd way.
The first national Thanksgiving procla-
nations Were issued by congress during
the Revolutionary war.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION

have no strawberry about it at all, ex-
cept few seeds, the entire product be-
ing cheap glucose and starch colored
with coal tar dies. With boracic, sail
cylic and other acids, glucose, coal tar
dyes and products, aniline, formalde-
hyde and other preservatives being
poured into the stomach, the wonder is
that the human family has not been
transformed into a race of mummies
and embalmed beef have a companion
in embalmed man. This crusade
against impure food was too long de-
layed. Carelessness by the authori-
ties led to receptions which it will take
years to discover and prevent" Yes,
and we wonder why America Is known
as nation of dyspeptics. We have
the best and most of nearly every
known food of any nation on earth, yet
we permit food manufacturers, great
wealthy corporations, to assist in
running US. And the whole thing is
done to make a bigger profit-lessen
cost of manufacture and increase diyi-
dends.
Certain paragraphs are circulated
about in papers and periodicals which
expatlate on the great value of sugar
as food, that it produces strength, en-
ergy and builds up the system. This
kind of talk means a boom to candy
manufacturers, and helps to create a

is no better food, neither is it a less
desirable food than it WAS last year.
ten years or twenty five years ago. and
the man of any sense will be governed
by normal appetite and not because
the press discovered that sugar is such
a superior food article.
