Why Cannot Man Lrve by Bread AIone:?
Because Higby.Miled Flour Is
Lacking in 'Oitamuls.

At the close il is astutely opined that
in seeking the cause of any disease OF
dietary origin cit is essential to pay
careful attention TO what might sp-
pear on superficial examination as triv-
ial detail"
This is a solar plexus blow. delivered
in scientific manner, to those who
have been pooh-poohing the food re-
formers protest against overmilled
grains and baking soda. True, if
we have plenty of meat and milk and
eggs VIC can worry along without whole
wheat bread. "Why worry" our skep-
teal friends have said; well make 1t
up somewhere else!"
But "robbing Peter TO pay Paul" is
bad business in the end. There are
several reasons for worrying.
We might be rcconciled to giving up
the small amounts of protein, fat and
minerals lost in milling. but losing
these new-fangled and potent vitamins
is the last straw. Not everybody gets
ell the meat and milk and eggs he
needs. It's a mighty good thing TO
know the Importance of these ingredi-
ents in grains, especially for the poor,
institutions where the rations and
money for food are limited, and for
children on a restricted diet
Why pay extra for milling away such
important food elements? Why not
have our staple foods as nutritious as
possible?
Suppose a man can worry along by
breathing with half his lungs; that
doesn't prove that he will not be a
much more effective citizen if he
breathes deeply all his life. Why not
eat the best foods we can get even if
others will see us through by judicious
selection?
No, the case Is closed in favor of
whole wheat and yeast breads in the
long run. This little eight pages sings

The suggestion sounds plausible,
since these acids are made from the
fruits themselves, and it is argued that
they must be just as good. This does
not follow at all, for the reasons just
given. since the free acids, separated
from their alkaline base usually pO-
tassium salt), have quite different
effect, and dire results have been pro-
duced by ye circus lemonade, made
from the free artificial acids and col
ored pink. II is illegal to make vine
gar by merely mixing an acid and
water together and coloring it, al
though the same acid (acetic) as that
found in the natural fermented vinegar
may be used and of the same strength.

hibitionist was Pliny. But water,
though it is an ideal beverage, and we
need a great deal of it, especially in
I the summer time, does not tempt the
appetite, and we may favor it both to
our profit and pleasure. Alcohol and
cafTein, dyes and preservatives, germs
and uncleanliness, threaten our drinks.
And even water, with all due Difference
TO Pliny, may be as deadly as any
drink, as it is a most efficient carrier
of germs and disease, unless jealousy
guarded from pollution.
The orange, the lemon and grape
are the three fruits offering the sanest
and most wholesome beverages for hot
weather. Berry juices, such as rasp-
berry vinegar and pineapple juice, may
well be added to the list, the pineapple
having the special claim that when
fresh and ripe it contains an engine
that has some digestive power.
Cooling and refreshing" is not a
sufficient eulogy for these wholesome
and necessary drinks. Not only are
they enjoyable, but the organic acids
and mineral material present have dis
tinct physiological effects that are i'm
portant-they are valuable for their eff
feet on the bowels and the kidneys,
and, further, these same acid fruits
have a most important effect in pre-
serving the alkalinity or neutrality Of
the blood-a condition essential to
health.
How comes" 1t is naturally asked,
"that these distinctly acid fruits can
promote the opposite condition of al
kalnity?' And hereby hangs a most
important tale that few but the
chemist appreciate. All of the fruit
acids, the malic of the apple, the citric
of the lemon and orange and the tar
taric Of the grape, occur in nature as
organic acids in combination with an
alkaline base, and although from 20
per cent Of acid may be present. when
they are broken down in the body and
assimlated il is found that the al
kaline or base forming elements are
in the majority.
So in the last analysis II Is the
acid fruits that make for a healthy
neutrality in the body tissues, while
the meats and fish and eggs are de-
cidedly acid forming.
Another point in favor OF orange
juice especially is the suspected pres
ence of the mysterious vitamins. 1t
has been observed that children fed on
pasteurized milk and showing ten
dency to scurvy are protected from this
condition by the addition Of orange
juice to their diets. While the exact
quality Of the orange Juice that gives it
this value may still be the subject of
more or less speculation, the general
fact is pretty we'll established, and
fruit Juices may be relied upon for
their anti-scorbutic effect.
Still further important point that
has been observed is the fact that the
more starches and sugars we eat the

WHAT TO DRINK IN SUMMER

beverages is the use Of saccharin in
stead of sugar While the Federal de.
cision quibbled over the amount Of sac
charm per day that would or would not
be harmful, it was unequivocally ruled
that:
THE substitution Of saccharin for
sugar lowers the quality Of the food.
The only use Of saccharin in foods is
as a sweetener, and when II is so used
it inevitably displaces the sugar of an
equivalent sweetening power. Sugar
has a food value and sacchsSin has
none. 1t appears, therefore, that nor
NAL foods sweetened with saccharin
are adulterated under the law"
Since saccharin Is recommended for
the use Of diabetes instead Of sugar,
specific products labelled to show the
presence Of saccharin and their use
only in diseased conditions were ex-
cepted. But the misuse of this excep-
ton by the, trade threatened, and an
other decision had to be rendered stat
ing that this ruling must not be in
terpreted to mean that the use Of sac
charm in foods prepared for ordinary
consumption is permissible even if de-
clared on the label"
Notwithstanding these plain state
ments, the makers of saccharin have
repeatedly endeavored to make il ap-
pear that sugar was harmful and
caused diabetes, and if saccharin was
good for the invalid and could be toll
Grated by him it must be preferable for
the well man. OF course, these conten-
tions are utterly false. A drug that is
useful in a diseased condition may be
poisonous for the man in a normal con-
dition. We have even had women write
and ask il they could not substitute
saccharin for sugar in their home cook
ing. The answer Is unequivocally
mo" Such a substitution may be in
furious to the health and it always
lowers the food quality of the product.
The Danger of dope"
There is one other burning question
IN connection with soft drinks, so
called. That is the case of
drinks Of the coca and cola types. con-
tanning caffein. We are not interested
just now in the legal entanglements as
to whether or not the caffein is an
added" ingredient, and so amenable
under the law. The Supreme Court,
however, has just reversed the decision
of The lower court and declared that the
righteousness of caffein is TO be passed
upon by the jury, and the whole case
goes back to the lower court for re-
trial after years OF delay. But while
the courts wrangle over technicalties,
there are some plain facts concerning
which there is little room for dispute.
The important thing from the stand
point of the housewife and mother is:
Do you know that these beverages con-
tain about as much caffein as cup of
coffee? Do you want your child to take
such a drink? Do you want to depend
en- it for pick me up" on the under
standing that 1t is invigorating and re-
freshing, when in reality it Is only
stimulating?
We know that cafFein is in coffee, and
govern our habits accordingly. We
deny it, if we are wise, to our children
and use it moderately ourselves. The

Fruit Syrups.

The majority Of fruit syrups are
made in exactly the same way, although
when the fruit is very tart a little
more sugar will be required Currants,
Strawberries, pineapple, raspberries and
blackberries are generally used, and
they should be sealed in the same way
as described for the raspberry vinegar.
Use only graniteware or porcelain
lined kettles in the making of these
syrups; also use wooden spoons for
stirring and two thicknesses OF cheese
cloth for straining. Never cook the
sugar with the fruit juices for any
langth of time, as the color will not be
so good; instead cook the strained Juice
for ten minutes, then add the heated
cugar and cook for five minutes longer.
In preparing the syrups mash the
fruits and heat TO the boiling point;
cook until soft, strain, and to each
quart of the juice add one pound and
a half of sugar. Skim carefully and
do not cook for more than the five min
utes. Pineapple, currants and black
berries will require the pound and a
half Of sugar mentioned, but the straw
