The patent roller process brushes
the berry in such manner as to CHIP
off the woody skins and fiatten the
germ. Thus their removal by me-
chanical means is made easily posi-
BILE. In this way is removed from the
fioury starch granules the bulk of the
mineral matter and the digestive fer
ments. This makes a better keeping
-four and gives clear white bread and
cakes of fine texture, very attractive
to the eye. Patent process flour is
graded as follows: First patent, sec
ond patent, first clear or straight, sec
ond clear and red dog. Ordinary or
straight flour is the third; the fifth
is chiefly used in the arts and for feed
ing. animals. The rest of the wheat
berry constitutes several grades OF
bran and shorts. The United States
department Of agriculture standard
permits not less than IS per cent pro-
tein, or four per cent ash, and not
more than 1875 per cent moisture,
The two per cent of mineral salts

mineral contents of whole wheat are
two per cent, the mineral contents OF
fine white -four are about one-half of

elements are eliminated from -four,

any compounds found in inorganic ma

organic and inorganic substances is
only difference of degree, and many
of the most characteristic of the sub
stances have been artlficially made in
the chemical laboratory.
Built up out of the commonest ele-
ments on the. surface of the earth
these organic compounds are grouped
into three classes: Carbohydrates
(sugar, starch and cellulose), fats and
proteins. OF these three compounds
the proteins are by far the most Inn
portant, for while the molecule of fat,
or carbohydrate, consists entirely OF
various combinations of the three ele-
ment, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen,
the protein molecUle always contains.
in addition, nitrogen and sulphur.
The carbohydrate and the fat, so
far as we know, appear to be only

1t is no more possible for us to
maintain our bodies in health without
generous supply of these inorganic
elements than it would be for us to
keep a gasoline engine running for an
indefinite period of years by merely
feeding it gasoline. Common sense
tells us that the engine must be taken
TO the shop every SO often and the
worn parts renewed If we are to Sc
cure continuous action or any sort of
efficiency from the oil consumed.
All organic life rests on one funda-
mental and vital fact, which is that
the seed bearing plants have, with
few known exceptions, the exclu-
siye power of absorbing energy di-
rect from the inorganic under the
stimulus of sunlight. In the action Of
chlorophyl (the green coloring matter
of plant life analogous to the red col
oring matter III human blood in sun
light undoubtedly lies the key to the
mystery of life. But with the sublime
assurance of ignorance we step in and
deliberately break this cycle of life
by discarding elements that offend our
color sense or that interfere with our
business.
If. for instance, wheat -four will pot
keep, we remove the bran, the woody
matter and the mineral salts, together
with a portion of the protein matter
and the germ: 1t makes much whittier
and lighter bread, anyway, and the
experts tell us that it is more digesti.
BILE, too; and besides, the 'insouble
by-products" make fine food for stock.
Cattle, chickens and other forms OF
life grow fat and sleek on diet to
which these waste by-products' are
added
Evidently these waste products
have very profound influence on the
metabolism of the lower forms of life,
but it is argued that that has nothing
to do with man. We are still hitched
to the idea that man is thing apart
from all the rest of creation and that
If anything becomes the matter with
his machine II is because an evil spirit
gets in and he must pour some vile
tasting combination down his throat
to drive the evil thing out. Meantime
the fact that some fifteen millions of
our nineteen-odd million children en-
rolled in the schools are shown to be
more or less physically defective from
insufficient building material supplied
in their food and the fact that we are
experiencing a constantly increasing
economic loss through the premature
death of our matured lives. do not APP.

PUT THEM IN THE FRONT RANK.

The horrible European war still drags itself
along. Not great deal OF fact is given us. and
strong efforts are being made to keep the coun-
tries affected and the world generally ignorant
of the full details OF the toll OF death. Even what
filters through is appalling. The human mind can
hardly conceive of the awfulness OF it. The wild
and the orphans that made daily far
beyond count and those i'll charge and responsible
may well attempt to keep their subjects in dense
ignorance. But all the hidiousness, the misery,
suffering, agony, privation and destruction will
come out some time and then will come the set
tling. 1t is my firm conviction that when the real
awakening then will arise the revolt in all
armies and among all peoples, and the fighting,
far it means nationality against nationality,
will be over, and those in high place and power
will pay with their lives for what has gone on.
Kings emperors and czars will fade away, and
power and place and earth will know them no
more, and their names will be but hated mem
ory. One wonders that the poor OF the ranks
have stood the gaff as long they have. 1t is
really beyond comprehension. AS usual, the wo-
men and innocent children must live on in priva-
tion and sorrow while the husband and father has
sank into what must really be merciful death.
The pity OF it all, and yet supposed to have
risen far above the barbarsim of the early DAYS.
If it was only so arranged that the kings, en-
perors czars. princes, field marshals generals Of
ficers etc. who aid and abetted this terrible mur-
der, could have been put in the front rank of the
first firing line, it is snch that the would
have been long ago. Maybe it is not too late
to give the plan trial even now.

WERE WAITING FOR MONEY.

1t has been brought ont through the testimony
of toy. Ammons before the Industrial commiS-
SION that the remaining amount OF the bond issue
authorized by the special session OF the legislature
has been disposed OF in the east. and therefore
money has been secured to place the troops in the
strike field again the president takes
away the federal soldiers. 1t rumored that il

held up would find ready customer in the east.
and ii looks as ii the dope right and election
results entirely satisfactory For further and
u particulars suppose the proper place to ap-
ply would be about the habitat of one
Iohn ID. However, one can gather from this that
Colorado is about prepared to again go to war
with its citizens. and that the only reason
the United States peace guardians asked was
that there was no money available to pay our OWL,
pets at the time. 1t is to be hoped by every good
citizen that there will be necessity spend the
taxpayers money in this way. Better try and meet
and square up with the workmen than to take a
possible chance OF again bringing what we
went through. There is war enough in the old
countries

LET US CUT 1T OUT.

Wonder if the good people and the business
men of Denver will really ever wake up enough
to stick pin in their legs and if they alive
to their own interests? They fall for every little
sef-advertising scheme that some wants to
pull off at their expense. Without doubt the Bel
gians are innocent sufferers from the and
deserving and in terrible condition. Denver and
Colorado people have contributed literally, and
deserve credit for it. But face the care OF some
at home that may appeal to our charitable sens
bilities and this fact is liable to be brought home
very forcbly before many weeks. 1t is just one
appeal after another in the name Of charity to
our people | often wonder why some OF the big
ones don't put the brake and cry quit. 1t is
tag this and tag that and while the individual
amount is very large, it aggregates con
siderable in the grand total If The Bulletin was
a big daily and could reach the great mass of
our people, it certainly would hoist the black flag
OF revolt and try to put stop to tins promiscious
panhandling. Wonder what reception the trades
unionists would meet if they started out and ap
pealed here, there and everywhere for contribu
tons to help out those members who may be up
against it through the slack and lean times that
are upon U.S. But unionists take the bitter with
the sweet and care for their sick. bury their dead
and feed the hungry and look after the needy
without touching the public. There is entirely too
much OF this tag day business in Denver and IT
should be cut out

Labor Can Preuent War

In a leading editorial the San Fran
cisco Evening Bulletin makes this ref.
crence to an antiwar position that has
since been unanimously indorsed by the
Philadelphia convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor:
"If the American Federation of La.
Dor stands fast against war, and
against all public policies which lead to
war. as its executive board has recon-
mended that it shall do, the peace of
the United States will be as safe as
men can make it. The Federation now
has more than 100000 men. Without
the consent of these men the United
States can never make war.

against war promises more than any
other weapon. Wars come about be.

only by another organization as far

Men draw conclusions from different

his opponent, Emil Seidel, said:
''IIo has told You many things, but
