British War Bread :"

OF Scientists In A
Series OF Tests

London, April 17.-(correspond

British war bread" has been vindi-
Gated and endorsed by a committee of
scientists after series of tests con-
Quoted in the laboratories Of Cam
bridge, Glasgow and London univer-
stiles and in number Of factories
and hospitals.
The committee finds that bread
composed of whole wheat Hour mixed
with 20 per cent OF other cereals is
not only suited to all ages and digos-
tions but also ''gives a higher percent
age of energy" .t<. - &. +
The loaves used in the experiments
were baked from flour mills under the
riesS president of the National Asso-
citation of British and Irish Miliers
No precaution was omitted to-; make
the experiments complete, and every
. result was worked out int IA series Of
tables. 3s s5 & % Il
i, At one factory in Yorkshire, the
tests were applied to q group of 20
men. nine women and two childten.
It was their sole bread supply for a
period Of two months and they were
under medical supervision Though
out. In no case did it cause digestion
trouble and in certain cases health
seemed to improve during its use.
When the mixed bread was tried on
twenty-five patients suffering from
tuberculosis it was found that the
4 bread was preferred by the majority
Of the patients all. of whom had more
or less impaired digestion. Most Of
the patients gained weight during the
period they were under observation. !,
