!IATER AN AID TO DIGESTION
Medical Investigators Have Concluded
That Plentiful Drinking at Meals
Is Distinctly Beneficial. /

Medical investigators have reached
the conclusion that instead of befn g
harmful to drink quantities OF water
with meals 1t is distinctly beneficial
Recent experiments along this line are
described in The New York Medical
Journal The writer says:
Not long ago it was almost the rule
for physicians to discourage the habit
OF drinking water except in minimum
amounts with meals. on the ground
that the gastric Juice was thereby d.
luted and that digestion was impaired
and delayed. This opinion is still held
by many physicians, and is the pet
hobby of a great many diet cranks
and cranks-professio and anna
teur.
"On the other hand, there have been
many who believed that an appetite
as widely distributed as the desire to
drink at the time of eating. an appe-
lite seen in so many animals as well
as In man, was perfectly safe guide
TO trust and that it was obviously a
provision of Nature to supply water
which was needed at this time.
Recent experimental evidence
seems to confirm rhe latter view. The
work of Foster and Lambert has
shown that water is a distinct stimu.
liant to the gastric mucosa. and that
instead of the presence of water in
the stomach resulting in a dilute gas
trio juice, it. on the ether hand. occa-
slons the secretion of a juice of higher
than under ordinary cir
More recently Fowler and Hawk
nave made a study of the metabolic
influences of copious water drinking
with meals. A normal man, % years
d age, was studied for a preliminary
period and then for a period Of five
lays, during which he drank three
quarts OF water day with his meals.
The result showed an Increase in
weight of two pounds.

BREAD MADE WITHOUT FLOUR
French Idea That Is Not Likely to Be-
come Popular With Ameri-
can Housewives.

We have horseless carriages anG
tireless cookers, but the latest limo
walton is Aourless bread" In the
new process the necessity of milling
the grain is eliminated. the wheat be.
ing used as 1t comes from the thrash.
ing machine.
The idea is that of concern in
Paris, and the machine developed by
1t transforms the wheat into dough
by the following means:
The machine consists mainly of a
large screw turning loosely in case
on whose inner surface is a screw
thread running in the opposite direc-
! ton. Between the main threads on
the cylinder are smaller threads and
the depth of the groove between the
main threads grows progressiyly
smaller from one end to the other, so
that it will hold the entire wheat
grain as it enters the machine and
Will accommodate only the pulverized
wheat at the exit.
The wheat must first be prepared
for breadmaking by thorough
washing, after which about a pint of
tepid water to a pound of grain is
added, and the whole is allowed to
stand about six hours. At the end of
this time the grains of wheat have
swollen to double their ordinary size.
1T is then mixed with the necessary
quantity of yeast and salt and poured
INTO the machine. 1t falls between the
threads n a IL

grain, making of them a homogeneous
mixture which just before leaving the |

of two parallel surfaces One of these
surfaces is the extremity of the NOV
able screw. while the other is fixed
to the contrary screw and has a cen
trail hole through which the dough
escapes in the form of a continuous
roll.
The dough- on issuing from the ma
chine, is put into baskets, where It re-
mains until 1t begins to rise. 1t is
hen divided into long loaves and
placed on table until the moment
when 1t is to be placed in the ovens"
Commenting on the new process. the
writer says that while it seems to be
lew, and really is when used on a I
arge scale, it yet is a step backward
o the crude break-making methods of {
he ancients. Neither will the idea
'ecome popular, the writer thinks, for 7
