THE art Of bread-making is prob
l. ably the most ancient OF culinary
arts, Doubtless the use Of fire in the
simple cooking or stewing OF foods
preceded the discovery of baking. but
this simple process could hardly be
termed an art.
The ancients made their bread as most
primitive tribes still do, by simply form
ing a cake Of -four and water and baking
on n hot stone.
Bread made In this way Is exceeding
ly toothsomo and Is doubtless superior.
from a health standpoint, to our more
inviting bakers loaves. In antebellum
days the negroes of the South made most
delicious corn bread "hoo cake" by
baking the cakes on Il board before an
open fire.
To be really wholesome bread should
be made Of the whole grain. Besides
il on, lime and other necessary salts the
bran contains a ch supply Of vitamines,
which are lacking In the fine flour. y
pound of fine flour contains only one
grain Of lime, while a pound of bran
contains sixteen grains
The art Of bread-making in some
form seems TO have been very widely
praCtlCed. even among the most primi-
/ tive people, but numerous tribes Of pco-
pie are known who appear to be entirely
maCqualntcd with the art Of baking and
whose food consists entirely OF raw food
or food which has been simply boiled.
The art Of baking has doubtless been
of great service TO the human race. New
ertheless recent observations made by
the famous Professor Won Noordeu and
other medical authorities would seem to
| Indicate that baking cereals, to some
degree, lessons their nutritive value. Won
| Noorden, FOR example, observed that per-
sons suffering from diabetes may even
be given large quantities of oatmeal with
out causing the appearance of sugar in
/ the urine, provided the oatmeal were
! given in the form Of porridge. but IL
! The same quantity of oatmeal were taken
in the form Of cakes which had been
baked in an oven large quantities of
sugar appeared, indicating that the baked
| oatmeal, for some reason. is not so well
assmilatcd by the body as the unbaked
