ilis the progress OF the drlVe TUESDAY
night. Mr.. Brown continued by de-
claring that the sanatorium would be
built and that people were not being
asked to contribute to the campaign
as charitable donations but rather
as investments in safeguarding the
general welfare of the residents of
the city. Five hundred people, al
most two each day, die in Birming
ham and jefferson county every
year as result of the ravages of
the disease and the terrible waste of
human life must be stemmed, he
said.
Mr.. Brown also announced that
teams would continue working in the
campaign until the entire 100000
had been raised. Reverses may be
met, and results may be slow, but
the workers are sticking to their
Jobs with bulldog tenacity. Mr..
Brown pointed out that some of the
people of Birmingham had given too
much and some too little, while
some had given nothing at all. He
said that If everybody would give one
days work toward the fund, it
would go across without delay.

BETTER BREAD Is NOW BAKED
Scientific Research Has Improved lts
Quality Very Much in Last
Few Years.

Very slowly but surely, provided on
ly scientific progress does not col
lapse through some social upheaval,
we are beginning to get at the chem
istry Of nutrition. The processes of
digestion. the breaking down of the
complex proteins to the simpler
amino acids and the secrets of meta
bolism are slowly coming to light. But
until more is known 1t is dangerous
to generalize
food industry that has made a
marked Improvement is bread baking.
and this Is distinctly the work of re-
search. Baking was supposed to be
domestic art and the incidence of sci
ence was not recognized until about a
dozen years ago, says Ellwood Hen
drlck in the North American Review.
The requirement to make good bread
of poor material during the war gave
research fresh start. Now there Is II
new lure to research, and that Is to de-
velop loaf that shall be at once tasty
and more nutritious than ever before.
so that the public will unconsciously
Increase its bread ration at the ex-
pense of more costly foods. The bak-
ers, with their American Institute of
Baking at Chicago and their work In
their own laboratories, feel that they
are contributing to the general welfare
beyond their own interests. Bread has
been developed that is complete ra-
ton. Many generations of white mice
have been brought up on such bread
with water alone and they are healthy
and strong. The same ration of bread
and water the former being the best
of its earlier type. is incomplete and
the animals starve under 1t. The prin-
cipal addition to the dough Is milk,
which may be dried to powder by the
spray method and used when needed
by the baker. The resultant loaf Is
tasty, white, wholesome, satisfying,
and bids fair to cause bread. our
cheapest ration, to be consumed In
much larger quantities than now,
while at the same time finding use
for our excess Of wheat and the ex-
cess summer milk produced by the
large herds needed to provide fresh
milk in the winter.
