The Crow Must Be Suppressed.

Now that the world Is faced with q
serious shortage of food, and that the
price Of seed corn Is soaring beyond
bounds, 1t behooves us all to discrim-
mate sharply between those birds that
are insectivorous and therefore the
friends Of man and his crops, and those
that are graminivorous and hence Pc
culiarly inimical to human interests.
Among the latter family Of corvidae,
the crow and his cousins
rocks, magpies, jackdaws, etc.-are
adjudged to stand, despite the fact that
their diet is more or less omnivorous.

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 an In
Quiry into the cause will come as q
relief to many, says the Dundee Adver-
tiser.
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 -four, which
contains beans and rice-ingredients
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 -four does not
possess the keeping properties which
wheaton flour 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 If the necessary precautions are
all its defects, Is not as bad as that
which the Parisians had to satisfy their
hunger at the time Of the siege of
Paris, when a quantity Of straw was
mixed with the flour In order to help
ake out the supplies of grain.
