The third factor. the unrest In

The duke owned large and
handsome house. and what he was
maneuyering for was to get Ras-
putin at night and alone into that
house. He was not readily sepa-
rated from his body guard. but he
finally agreed To come at 10 O'Clock
on n certain night. and meet these
ladies who so much desired his
acquaintance but SHE'D at the body

WAR BREAD CAUSES Trouble
Said to Be Responsible for Digestive
Disorders Which Are Followed
by EruptIons.

Reports Of illness through eating
war bread are being received from all
over the country, and the news that
Lord Rhondda has instituted IN In
Quiry into the cause will come as a
relief to many, says the Dundee Adver-
tiseg.
The bread is said to have given
rise to digestive troubles and then
eruptions In many districts. This is
said to be due to the fact that some
bakers are using imported flour, which
contains beans and rice-ingredlents
which are quite unfit for breadmaking.
The inclusion Of the germ sets free a
large percentage Of fat which Is un-
suitable for weak digestions. Then,
Of course, regulation flour does not
possess the keeping properties which
wheaton -four does, and this fact again
gives rise to disorders.
The gray loaf can never be as pal
atAble as the white one, but 1t can be
made equally dIgestible and nourish.
Ing II the necessary precautions are
taken. Still, our bread of today, with
all Its defects, Is not as bad as that
which the Parislans had to satisfy their
hunger at the time Of the siege of
Paris, when a quantity Of straw was
mixed with the -four In order to help
exc ont the supplies Of grain.
