PRICE Of BREAD
REMAINS SAME,
SAYS WOODWARD

Just as munching war bread be-
comes a habit and for that reason
little thought about, interest in the
Liberty Loaf will be revived. DR.. W.
c. Woodward. District Health officer
today announced that March l will
mark the beginning OF a series OF
tests to determine whether the bakers
of Washington are giving as much
food value in the new Liberty Loaf
bread as they did for the same money
when they sold 100 per cent wheat
loaf.
The eighty per cent wheat and
twenty per cent cereal bread is said
to give AS much nutriment as the
all wheat.
Meanwhile it is satisfying To know
that the price of bread today in the
District Of Columbia is substantially
the same as II was a year ago. The
Health Department announced this
as the result of tests concluded yes
terday and made public this morn
ing.
Thirty Iosvos Of various kinds pur-
chased in open market between Janu-
airy IL and January ~, inclusive. ex-
brought out this fact. Compared with
the results OF an examination Of
forty-siX loaYes purchased during
January. 1917. it was found that the
amount of muscle building substance
protein, included in the bread soIiuF.
purchasable for a cent, has remained
the same, -163 ounces.
Seven-cent loaves gre the largest
returns according to the Health De
partment investigation.
Each cent spent in the purchase of
a 7-cent loaf produced 1.45 ounces OF
bread solids.
Each cent spent for an Scent loaf
procured only Isl ounces; for
9-cent loaf only liz ounces. and for
a lO-cent loaf only LA ounces.
On the basis of muscle builuInE
or protein. 1 cent spent in
the purchase OF a 7-cent loaf would
yield 20 ounces; for an Scent loaf.
10 ounces: for a 9-cent loaf, IA
ounces, and for a 1Ocent loaf. .13
ounces.

OF BUSINESS MEN

is that water power developments are
not exceedingly profitable undertake
ings earnestly sought by capital az
means Of securing large returns OF
small investment; but that on the
contrary steam power is the superior
10 water power in almost all respects.
in order to procure the adequate de-
velopment of water power induce
ments must be offered.
There il a very general. but entirely
erroneous belief that any water power
running TO waste can be utilized at small
expense. The initial cost Of a steam
plant is in general but one-half TO one
fifth OF water power plant OF the same
capacity. II follows that the investor in
water power plant Is burdencd from
the very start with n heavy fixed
charge. The risks to capital in water
power developments therefore are much
greater than the risks in the case OF
steam power The advantage Of water
power lies in the smaller expense OF
maintenance. due to the smaller amount
Of labor and the absence OF the cost
OF fuel.
Demand From Community.
present demand for water power de-
yelopment comes not from the capital
LET. but from the communities which. on
account of the high price and scarcity
OF fuel are DESTROYS in their own In
terests OF inducing capital 10 make such
development.
There are many collateral advan-
taEes which are reaped by the conf
munity as a whole rather than by the

and oil. the saving OF railroad equip
ment needed for their transportation,
the saving OF labor in coal mines and
the saving Of labor in distribution"

The trouble lies in flrn-in that Shiny
film which you always can feel with your
tongue.
That film absorbs stains, so your teeth
seem discolored. It hardens into tartar. It
holds food particles which ferment and form
acid. They hold the acid in contact with the
teeth-the cause of all tooth decay
That film is albuminous, so it forms an
ideal breeding place for germs. Millions of
germs are in every small portion of it. These
germs together with tartar are the chief cause
of pyorrhea.
Then the germs enter the veins. Now it is
known that serious diseases of many kinds are
due to their infection. About the first place
physician looks for the cause is the teeth.
So nearly all tooth troubles, and many
others, are due to that ever-present film.
