A Plea For Brown Bread.

A plea for the use of wholemeal bread.
especially by those who have the care of
children is made in influentially
signed circular just issued by the Bread
and Food Reform League of Great
Britain
1t is shown from official documents that
the annual consumption per head In the
United Kingdom of corn, wheat. meal and
-four is nearly 800 pounds. and that In
working-class families, with incomes
ranging from 21s to 52s a week. two
fifths of the weight of food consumed con-
sists Of bread and -four. Bread, 1t is
pointed out, is almost the sole diet of
numbers of poor children.
Owing to the present great distress
and general shrinkage of incomes,' it is
stated, "a supply of nourishing bread is
Of vital national Importance. Chemistry
proves that the whole Of the wheat grain
contains more rutriment than the part
usually made into fine white -four" Ex-
perimerts in Germany are quoted which
show that from finely ground wheat meal
the body assimiiates two and half times
more Of the mineral substances which
form bones and teeth. and which nourish
the brain, nerves and tissues, than from
nne white flour.

VOLUME OF BUILDING.
Activity in January Has Come Up
Fully to Expectations.

Scarcely anything could be more salts
factory than the statistics of building

Of January. They show a remarkable

true Of the large cities, the places which
have a definite position in the affairs Of
the world. During the month just closed
permits were taken out in forty-three of
the leading cities. according to official
reports to Construction News. for the con-
struction of 6.s95 buildings. involving a

to pass. 4 good story does not require
close analysis. Out of the 43 cities only
4 show decreases at points so remote
from each other that they have little
bearing upon the situation. Chicago leads
the advance in the list OF big cities with
the phenomenal total of IS, 227, 700 for the

There is another phase OF the apartment
house situation in this city which is o.
real interest. and that is the Information
obtained by the owner of at least one
such building to the effect that twenty
out of twenty-four suites leased during
the past fall were taken by people who
had recently come to the city to live.
The new tenants in his building did not.
therefore. mean that some other apart
ment building had been emptied. and that

These experiences. While not broad are
still sufficient to give good idea OF
the state of tie market: st any rate.
they are to q large extent the founda-
ton of much of the activity in building
that has been planned and Is being planned
for the coming months OF more than
passing interest is the suggestion that
comes from the testimony OF the man
who found such large proportion or the
tenants of his building were people VINO
had Just come to the city to make their
homes here. In this experience Is to be
found one Of the underlying causes or the
great growth in the population that has
been going on here for several years past
Increase in Population.
4 calculation OF the rate of this In
crease based upon the figures of the po-
lice census OF the city. taken since the
last federal census. leads to the convic-
ton that instead of the annual increase
for the census period OF ten years being
about ) 900 a year. as was the case for
the years preceding 1900. it will he fully
1000.
This means an addition to the population
of the city for the period ending in 1910 OF
200 per annum, or 10000 for the ten
years. Such an aggregate makes city
| of good size-in fact one that locally
| would be looked upon as a place of i'm
portance largely because of the number
| of people within its borders. In this way

means and when one knows that such
an addition has been made to the popuia-
! ton of this city then ii no longer appears
quite so remarkable that the city has

! the original borders for miles over the
! old-time farm lands that formed the
suburbs and has taken with il I'm its

and the light and water and sewer aud
