GOOD WAR BREAD.

That war bread must be good bread is the conten-
ton OF Dr. Harvey Wiley veteran guardian of the
nations food standards. lie says:
unfortunately the idea which is associated
with the term war bread at the present time
is a bread deprecated by mixing with other
substances IS to make a bulk and weight
which is cheaper than the bulk and weight Of
real bread. II ever needed good bread we
need il We need IL for the soldier in the
trenches; need it for the recruit just called
the colors; need if for the rookie
pairing - t1 called We need it for all citizens
Of military age We need the children
who growing need il for old people
who beyond military age. We need good
bread for everybody
DIT Wiley's idea IS that each kind of war bread
should exclusively of one cereal and should
contain ali of that cereal Thus should have rye
bread made of whole ground rye wheat bread Of
the whole ground wheat corn bread of the whole
ground corn, barley bread of the whole ground
barley"
lie would permit the mixing of these cereals if it
suited the taste convenience of the consumer. but
says would be special advantage in this.
Then ne suggests that we the whole wheat bread
on three days week. the other four, eat
breads made of barley, rye convenience.
The big point ne makes the
whole OF cereals, instead of milling out of them
their valuable ingredients would be saving
plenty Of wheat for those who it, and we should
need substitute inferior substances.
-four seeds etc. for the cereals.
Doesn't il rather absurd that should throw
the best part of grains in milling the flour.
and then should have fiji the with substitutes
which are not nearly good for us?

There have also been severe OUT

It's in this same camp as a result Of
the measles epidemic.
One Of the bewildering and irri-
tating facts about the measles is
that its most contagious stage comes
on before the rash appears, and the
rash is regarded as being a kind of
windup To the attack. Since the
disease has no special symptoms
until a comparatively short time be-
fore the rash appears. it means that
all the spreading of the malady has
probably been completed before the
patient feels sufficiently out Of
sorts" TO come under medical at
tention.
Moreover. measles, like nearly all
the infectious diseases, has its car
riers." who are not affected by Il.
and are in the best of health them
selves, and yet whose noses and
threats may be full Of the germs
which they spread everywhere they
go.
These carriers are generally in
complete ignorance of the fact. and.
as the microbe is very irregular IN
its appearance on the mucus mem
brane. sometimes being absent for
several consecutive days, they are
very hard to locate. although when
located they generally can be cured.
