FLOUR AND BREAD.
Contention That Whole Wheat Is
DeIeterious classed as Absurd.

Rochester Post-Epress: The mill.
ing interests of the country seem
greatly concerned for fear that the
government or public opinion Will in
sist on having a larger per cent. of
! the wheat ground up as -four. The
Northwestern Miller had recent
article to the effect that whole wheat
-four would produce typhus which is
of course ridiculous; and vague sug-
gestions that the whole wheat flour
is deleterious as an article Of diet
are continually set afoat in the press.
These are all absurd Our fore
fathers and the whole world ate
whole wheat -four until about fifty
years ago when modern milling
methods were invented. Since tha~
time we have been eating artificially
b.eached starch, all the rich elements
in the neutrality-suspicious., vitamines,
mineral salts-having been bolted
out. To this we undoubtedly owe it
that we are becoming toothless
people and that more young men
fail to pass physical examinations by
reason of defective teeth than for
any other cause.
Before the civil war the negroes Of
the south had such strong, white,
perfect teeth that dentist was
never needed. They were fed on
grain that was only partly bolted-
shorts, as it was called-bran mixed
with coarse meal or -four: and they
were therefore nearly as healthy as
the farm animals which ate the en-
tire grain. But good teeth are as
rare today among the negroes who
eat while -four as ann ng the whites.
The bolted. blanched, pure starch
flour is now known to produce beri-
beri unless its deficiencies as an
article of diet are made up by some
other food 1t is also terribly waste
ful-criminally wasteful considering
the worlds food shortage. The mill
ing percentage of the patent flour
does not exceed Is per cent. of the
grain; and if Americans use bill
lion bushels year, fourth Of this
is fed to animals instead of to man.
A flour richer in food constituents
and as near the whole wheat product
as can be made into palatable bread
should come into general use in
these years of short rations for SO
large part Of mankind

Ideals.


Christian Herald: Higher! It is a
word Of noble import. 1t is an i'm
pulse of tremendous lifting power.
1t lifts the souls of men from low
and groveling pursuits to the achieve

In youth life stretches before us
like pleasant road running straight

The feathery palm trees we saw in
the distance may prove but mirage.

to see far ahead turn out to be only
dead heaps of stones that we must

There is this difference between
the great and the little souls Of

The DAILY GATE CITY

But no one is foolish enough to say that speech
is only for a small minority of non animals. Art
is what mankind has made it. Particular abll-
ity to express it will always be confined to the
gifted few; but democracy in art is possible
when people at large love it and know it.

AUTO INDUSTRY Is FOURTH.

By July one, according to DR.. Rittman, of the
American Chemical society, four million auto
mobiles will be in use in the United States
Only the steel, lumber and clothing industries
exceed the automobile business today; and as
soon as materials reach normal prices again the
cost and selling prices of machines will be SO
reduced that the present population of the
country could take ten million cars. The aver
age consumption of gasoline is estimated at five
hundred gallons car. The fuel problem
therefore is serious and likely to become in
creasingly SO up to given point. Gasoline at
twenty-five cents makes alcohol commercially
possible. The use of kerosene demands car
buretor that has not been invented yet and may
never be; but when gasoline becomes too costly,
kerosene would be used as fuel to generate
steam.
Nothing else than the automobile ever cap
tured the world in so short time. One motor
vehicle for every twenty-ffth person. One for
every tenth in few years more; and when pri-
mary or storage batteries have solved the pro-
pulsion' problem who knows that we may not
see self propelled carriage of some sort for
every fifth person, every family, that is, in the
United States.

There is promise of rapid work on the
emergency shipbuilding program in General
Cocktails appointment of Rear Admiral Ros-
seau, of the navy, as assistant manager of the
fleet corporation. Admiral Rosseau was a
member of the isthmian canal commission and
he received the thanks of congress for his eff
Gent work under General Goethals in building
the waterway. Now he will be second in au-
thority to the general in the work of building
merchant vessels. The two men will be able to
work together, and there should be no more dis
putes over plans and methods. The important
thing is the building of ships of steel and ships
of wood as fast as they can be turned out. All
that can be built will be needed.

TRADE PAPER ANTICIPATES
GOVT CONTROL OF WOOL

Washington dispatches during the

administration 1t is stated that the
steady advances Of the prices in the
market, induced not little by spec

and that il government control is -

Privately. the tip has gone forth
that government or private control
rests entirely in the hands of the
trades. and that includes the steel,
copper, shoe. clothing and wool
trades. etc. etc. Tine trades, accord
ing to one in touch with the situa-
ton. will be given every opportunity
to regulate prices and hold them
down within reaching distance of
the government and of the public.
and that only upon failure to do so
will the government step in.
