Bread and Electricity.

Many persons who like white bread
have a mistaken idea that the whittier
the bread the more nourishment 1t
contains. The public has, as con-
sequence, received less nutrtive
food. The core Of the wheat grain,
which is the chief constituent Of
bread, while producing the whitest
-four, at the same time contains the
smallest amount of albumen and is
thus least nutritious. An attempt has
recently been made to secure a still
winter bread by the use of electricity.
The -four was brought in contact with
electrified air, whose ozone possesses
efficacious bleaching properties. The
flour subjected to electric influence
was much whittier in color, but its taste
and odor were far inferior to those
of -four treated by the ordinary meth
cd. The amount of phosphorus was
the same in both, but the quantities Of
fatty and acid substances varied large

FROM SAME BOX
Where the Foods Come From.

Where the FoodS come FROM.
look here, waiter, honest now,
don't you dip every one Of these faxed
breakfast foods out of the same box?"
well, yes, boss, we duz, all 'cept
Grape-Nuts, cause that don't look like
the others and people know 'zackly
what Grape-Nuts looks like. But
there's bout a dozen different ones
named on the bill of fare and they are
all thin rolled flakes so 1t don't make
any difference which one a man calls
for, we just take out the order from
one box"
This talk led to an investigation.
Dozens of factories sprung up about
three years ago, making various kinds
Of breakfast foods, seeking to take the
business of the original prepared
breakfast food-Grape-Nuts. These
concerns after precarious existence,
nearly all failed leaving thousands of
boxes OF their foods in mills and ware
houses. These were in several in
stances bought UP for song by spec
ulators and sold out to grocers and
hotels for little or nothing. The proc
ess of working off this old stock has
been slow. One will see the names
on menus of faxed foods that went
out of business a year and a half or
two years ago. In few cases where
the abandoned factories have been
bought UP, there is an effort to resus.
citate the defunct, and by copying the
style of advertising of Grape-Nuts,
seek to influence people to purchase.
But the public has been educated to
the fact that all these thin faxed
foods are simply soaked wheat or oats
rolled thin and dried out and packed.
They are not prepared like Grape
Nuts, in which the thorough baking
and other operations which turn the
starch part of the wheat and barley
into sugar, occupy many hours and re-
suit in food so digestible that small
infants thrive on it, while it also con-
tains the selected elements of Phos.

Nuts, and there have been many imi-
tations, few of the article itself, but
many more of the kind and character
of the advertising. Imitators are al
ways counterfeiters and their printed
and written statements cannot be ex'

When Sleep Is Needed Most.

Perfect health demands not only q
fixed amount of sleep, but the observ.
ance Of regular habits. And perfect
sleep for man can be obtained only at
night as suggested by the rhythmical
succession of light and darkness.
There is point to the old proverb:
IAN hours sleep Lefore midnight is
worth two after" Those who are in
the habit of turning night into day
realize this to their cost. The hour
before midnight that is worth two at.
ter is from IL to 70. And inasmuch as
the human system is more below par
at a. m. than at any other period in
the twenty-four hours, sleep should
cover at least two hours on each side
of this time. When life is at stake
