Bread and pXspensia.


The conclusion that wheat bread is
unfit for dyspeptics, sometimes jump
ed at because Ill effects are noticed to
follow its use, is erroneous. On the
contrary> it has been pointed out by
Bouchard and others that farinaceous
food is peculiarly adapted to some dys-
peptic patients. 1t is the microbes in
the starch which are capable of pro-
ducing irritating acids that cause the
trouble. To avoid this Bouchard rec
ommends that only the crust or toast
cd crumbs of the bread be used by
dyspeptics, particularly those whose
stomachs are dilated The reason Of
this is explained by the fact that bak-
ing temporarily, though not perma-
nently, arrests the fermentation of
dough- When it is again heated by
the warmth of the stomach the fer
mentation is renewed. In cases where
the bread is toasted brown through
the fermenta ton is stopped perma-

The use of the tungsten fila
ment for incandescent lamps has
undergone great expansion with
in recent years, and this compe-

the demand for tantalum in the
same capacity. Tantalum pro-

being an electrode made of finely
ground titanium carbide and an
other composed of magnetic,
chromium oxide and rutile.
