country, there has ragged in recent years d controversy as 10 whether people ought to cat brown bread or white bread.
 Specialists in physiology and in diet believe that the controversy has generated more heat than light. Nevertheless. certain facts have been well established and these must be taken into consideration as the basis for any controversy
 The npholders of brown bread argue that it is better than white because it contains more of certain kinds Of proteins and more NitaminS. mineral matter and roughaGe.
 The people who support white bread admit these things. but they point out that the human being does not live on bread alone and that therefore it is unnecessary to choose brown bread when all of the impor- tant factors can be Trad from other things in the diet
 Whether as q result of advertising propaganda or other means Of pro motion. the average AnGlo-SaNon prefers to eat white bread. In ad- dition to brown bread and white bread there is whole wheat bread, for which tn" same arguments can be made as arc made for brown bread.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-21

In order to get some scientific oNi- dcnCc on the subject, DTS. C.. A. IIartWcll and Y. II. Mottram of the University of London fed to white rats in the laboratory standard diets similar to those used by laborcrs, except that the quantities were suitable to the size of the rat, and associated with these were white bread and brown bread.
 The experiments indicated that the rats fed on brown bread do not do any better than those on white bread; there was but small increase in growth. and there were physical and nervous symptoms in the rats living on prcdominating brown bread diet which indicated some thing in the nature of an imbalance.
 As a result Of their experiments, th" British Investigators are con- vinccd that the propaganda for brown bread as a part Of the diet of the working class is without scientific foundation.

Katherine Continues Her story and Tells How Noel Burned His Letter and How Mary Tried So Hard 10 Appcar NonChaiant.

Katherlnc's look at me as she told mo of her impression concern ing the letters received by Noel and Mary was half apologctic and Whcl- ly self -deprecatory. l answered it promptly and cmphaticaliy.

They were puzzled by the openinz Of each; l could sec that plainly and 1t was with an almost simultaneous movement that they turned to the signatures, For the 1loment they were absorbed in the letters instead Of each other and l,cither noticed what l did, the lOOK Of dismay which sprang into their eyes. There was something more than dismay - actual Lorror-in each face

It is curious how in this world things turn out so differently from what is expected. Just take the case of Reddy Fox and Mrs, ReddT and Hooty the Owl.

Hooty had spied on Ecddy and Mrs. Ecddf without knowing that all the tlmf they knew what he was doing, So at last they had led him to q crrtaII farm where turkeys rooatod "yrr, night in an apple tree.

The Family Enjoys Aiding Christmas Work

Chicago, Dec. 2l tP)-World wid4 discussion among medical authori-
 ties follows the latest report of
 Identification of the germ of influ-
 enza, announced at the University ol Chicago.
 This germ long has been sought and there have been other hopeful
 reports previously.
 Dr. Isidorc $. Falk, 30-ycar- professor of bacteriology at the University of Chicago, is standing
 on the report he made 10 a scien-

 germ causes the disease, particl-
 larly whether it is by secreting

 Influenza is said by some stu
 dents 10 be one of the oldest dis cases known to man.
 thought it came from the atmos- plcrc.
 pr, l. J. Walsh declares that there is a great deal of evidence to show that it was the plague which swept the Creeks as they set out for Troy.
 Noah Webster wrote q two vol umc work on influenza after a long study of it's history. Webster, like Hippocratcs, thought that it was produced by atmospheric condi- >ions, particularly by electrical in fmcnccs" following volcanic erup- tions, comets, earthquakes, 'or
 other such phenomenal The position Of the planets. also, might have some relation to it. Webster said.
 Immanucl Kant. the great mathe- matician and philosopher also made an intensive study of the dis case. The name "influenva," which is taken from the Italian for "in- fluence,' was not formally be- slowed upon the disease until 17S2,
 and it's choice indicates that the
 older theories of atmospheric and planetary influence" were accept ed 10 some extent at that time. Webster records a long serio of epidemics of influenza, extending from the year 1174 to his own day. At the end of the eighteenth cen tury worldwide epidemic is re.

ONE. EALLACY
(By Alice Judson Peale)

Ben is a spoiled baby.
 His highly intelligent mother seems not to have the least idea of how to manage the relatively simple disciplining of a healthy baby. She "loyes" him. She denies him noth- ing. She gives him everything he cries for, and he cries for every thing.
 Such obviously unwise treatment coming from a competent and intel ligent woman must serve some pur- pose in her life of which even she herself was not wholly aware.
 Those who know her realize that she is disappointed in her marriage. The child came at just that period Of her life when she had fully faced her disllusionment. When he was born. she told her friends that she thought perhaps the baby would make up for everything" that she would love him and that he would love her, that here at least there could be no disappointment in store for her.
 But of course there is. Already Ben is the sort of child that proba- bly prompted the justly famous re- mark Of the bachelor who, when asked how he liked babies, answer cd simply, Boiled" Ben is not like ly to find himself happy in a world which is kind to no one but it's favorites.
 He will not even be a satisfaction to his mother for long. It will not be many years before she will be forced to admit that life has held In re- serve for her one more disappoint- ment, as severe as any other.
 There is no fallacy greater than that of thinking that children can make up to their parents for their disa ppointments in life.
 Children whose parents for one reason CT another i've this feeling can scarcely csc" a variety of mdladjustmente all along the line. They don't get fair start.
 Children must not be accepted as a substitute or a compensation for unfulflled needs in the lives of their parents.
