THE STAFF OF LIFE.

Some English farmers have started
a movement to substitute the old-time
gristmill -four for the modern, roller
ground product in the formation of
the staff of life. A number of the
farmers, according to the press dis
patches, have organized TO re-estab-
lish the old water-power stone mills,
which have been obsolete in the
British empire for years.
There are many farm houses in
North Carolina into which roller
ground -four never enters, All Of the
hour consumed is the product Of the
old burr mills, still picturesquely
situated on the small streams in
many parts of the state. There are
many hundreds of farmers in North
Carolina who would no more think
of trying to do a days blowing with
roller process -four for nourishment
than they would try to work week
without sleep. Long lives. with we'll
preserved mental and physical pow
ers, attest to the wisdom of their
choice OF bread material.
Ii is a well-known fact that large
part OF the nourishment of the wheat
is eliminated from -four in the modern
process OF manufacture. We insist ON
having this nourishing part of the
wheat eliminated from our -four in
order that It may cost more and that
our bread may conform to the pre-
yailing fashion. When this nourish-
ment has been eliminated We buy it
in fancy packages at fancy prices,
after much newspaper space has been
used TO tell us what a wonderful dis
covery has been made. And then We
howl about the high cost of living.
But such is civilization.
