Question Whether Brown Bread 10
Superior to White Still Forms .s,
w Subject for Argument.

White bread was said by experts,
or by those who claim to be experts, to
be much superior to brown bread 3
few months ago, and we were told that
the idea OF eating graham bread or
any bread containing part or all of the
bran of wheat and other portions ~of
the grain which are taken out In the
boiling process was old.fashioned and
might lead to Injury. Now come the.
medical inspectors of the French army.
q group of very distinguished physi-
clans and scientists, who say that
boiling pushed beyond a certain limit
eliminates the, useful element of -four
in more than one respect and does
nothing but improve the color OF the
bread. When white bread is used ex-
clusively they have found that the
men eat and need more meat, but
when the flour is only partially bolted
and only the coRrser particles of the
bran are removed the soldiers are in
better health and they eat less meat.
which results in superior, economy and
efficiency at the same time, The meth
cd Of boiling -four was invented some
centuries ago, and it seems, about time
that the relative values of white and
unbolted -four were settled, but the
doctors can no more agree about 1t
than they can about the therapeutic
value Of alcohol. New York CONNER

is the oldest newspaper In Paris and

It was founded BY q printer, named
Baudoin, and purported to be, as its

criticisms OF men and affairs 1t soon
became one OF the most influential
of the Paris journals. 55s$5T 3

subject OF the threatened censorship,
that the emperor gave the order which
has become famous, about the policy
Of the newspaper, that it should pub

known that publication was needless!
