THE WHITE BREAD FAD.


Abeue a Century Ago.
Due to an epicurean faddist Of
London, one Hugh Paddington.
white flour came into existence
about 100 years ago, when the Lon
don city man decided to do some
thing unusual at q dinner. As
white was fashionable at that par
ticular period, Paddington deter
mined to have all the foods at the
feast Of color quite different from
their natural hue, with a leaning
toward white. To match the table
cloth he would have the bread
white.
He called Hungarian miller into
conference and ordered flour ground
especially for the occasion. Such a
thing never had been heard of be-
fore-a perfectly white -four. Pro-
duced from the ground grain of the
wheat, -four naturally took on the
commingled colors of the grain and
therefore was dark. But Padding
ton wanted il white-snow white
It was a hard task for the miller,
but after many efforts he succeeded
in producing the desired results BY
selecting only the white, hfeless,
starchy portions Of the grain and
describing all others. This being
accomplished, the epicure was de-
lighted. The rest Of the color
scheme was easy. As he had ex-
pected, his dinner proved the nov
city Of the day, and the bread was
q tremendous hit
This was the first white bread
ever eaten IN the history Of the
world. AS the wheat grain was
dark, 80 bread had been dark from
the days Of Abraham To produce
white bread would have been con-
sidered impossible unless a white
grain could be grown. But the
Hungarian miller's ingenuity sue
eeeded in bringing forth a white
-four from a yellow grain By max
ing the -four from the starch cells
extracted from the endosperm Of
the wheat he obtained a breadstuf
that was Of the color and nearly the
consistency Of powdered chalk.
The white bread fad, as it was
then called, spread ike wildfre-
All the smart set Of London took it
up, and soon the bread made Its APP
pearance on the tables of the ultra
fashionable all over England. No
one liked it so wen as the old fash
toned blood and bone producing
bread. But people often sacrifice
very much of taste and health for
fashions sake. That was the way
It vas with white bread.
It didn't taste so good, and it
wasn't so satisfying as the old time
bread. But it looked pretty, the
white slices on the white tablecloth,
and no other kind of bread was per-
mitted at dinner In stylish London
Flour mills had to be oveEhauled
and reconstructed New machinery
had to be installed with equipment
adapted for making -four
from the starch cells Of the wheat
