Community Fair

What about that exhibit of canned fruit for the coming Home Products Fair? With Wrangell fruit ripe or ripening, 1t behooyes the Wrangell housewives to bear in mind that the best of all the fruit gathered and preserved should be shown at the Fair. "Oh, mine is not good enough, 2 is no excuse for failing to swell the exhibits. If the Fair is to be a success, and it will be, every one must do his share, and, judging by the interest that ap- pears to be growing day by day. the gym will be taxed to the ut most to find room for all that will be shown.
 The fruit, however. is most important as showing the various varieties that can be grown here with such success, and should have a prominent place. Canned or preserved blackberries, cur rants. cherries, gooseberries, raspberries and strawberries are wanted; also best collections of canned fruit, jam, jellies or pre- served. All of these must be in glass jars.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

VoU may have distinct prefer.
u ences about bread - white
bread, whole wheat bread, brown
bread, graham bread and all the
other breads. These preferences
may be based upon taste, natural
or acquired, or upon some no
tions about the wholesomeress Of
the different varieties.
Wholesomeness Of bread, any
bread, its real nutritional value.
depends upon two factors, namely,
its starch and vitarnin content.
There is q good deal Of con-
fused thinking done on the sub.
ject Of whole-mea1 bread. Its adj
vocates seem to rely chiefly upon
the point that, bulk for bulk, it
contains more Yitamin B than
white bread. Now even II it did,
we get vitamin b from 50 many
other sources, such as from eggs.
peas, beans, lentils and nuts,
that a deficiency in our bread
would not matter.
But the most serious mistake
In this argument is to suggest
that white bread contains no vita
min B at all. 1t is true that
there is but little vitamin B In
white flour. but there is a great
deal in yeast, and white bread
contains quite a lot Of yeast.
Whole-meal bread was first
recommended by diet specialists
probably because it contained a
large quantity Of extra cellulose,
husk and bran. These are indi-
gestible, but they act as bulk
and roughage." That is to cay,
their roughness stimulates the
bowel and their bulk helps to
scour out the channel and thus
keep 1t healthy. This is all quite
sound as far as it goes, but it
doesn't go very far. But we are
authority, Sir Thomas Horder
Uondon lancet, that the new
idea of a superiority in vitamin
B is a complete fallacy. After
all, the fact remains that millions
Of persons thrive on white bread
all over the world.
The fact is that people have
come to- confuse the action of
brown bread on the bowel with
the question of it's actual nutri-
tive value. AS a matter of scien-
tific truth, whole-meal bread is
not bit more nourishing than
white bread. Weight for weight,
it is less SO because it carries a
large proportion of inert matter.
Even If it had more nourishment
in it, there would be no guarantee
that the body could use this
nourishment. This is because the
value of a food depends quite as
much on the form in which it is
presented to the digestion as on
the actual chemical composition.
There is q limit to the amount
of cellulose, or husk-inert mat.
ter-that can usefully be present
in bread. If the amount is over
that limit, digestion and assimila-
ton are hindered and not helped.
In the first place, the husk pre-
vents the digestive juices from
getting freely at the starch, the
real food, while it is in the stom.
ach and breaking it UP. In the
second place. the mechanical irri-
tation of the hard roughage makes
the lining of the DO vel pour out
a large quantity of fluid and
wash away q good deal Of the
