Rye Bread in piabetic Diet.

1t has not been long since we first
heard that potatoes were less harmful
to diabetic patients than wheat bread.
Another authority has suggested oat-
meal as the principal carbohydrate to
be- used in such affected persons. The
latest contribution to this diet list IS
rye bread. Black rye bread or pumper-
nickel is highly recommended by Lid
well, he having found that the sugar
is very much diminished under this
diet The patient increases in
weight and feels much better.
A comparative study of potatoes
oatmeal and rye bread is now in order
to verify these conclusions and to
determine the relative value of each
of these starchy foods.-Courier Of
Medicine.

Ex-Governor Hoard were also visited,
making a total Of about five hundred
acres Of tiled land investigated. on
eighty per cent. of which the money
invested in tile yielded fifty per cent.
OF itself in increased crops each year.
Ten per cent. of the land was merely
used for pasture, and the annual in
come from the tile was perhaps ten
per cent. of the amount invested.
Only in one instance was tile found
that did not work successfully, and,
in that case, the cause was a defec-

river, rather than any default of the
tile itself.
