Research Shows Cereal Is
of High Importance
In Food List.

SOHnt IttcnL research WORK done
At Teachers college, Columbia uni
versity, where both human beings
and animals were used for the test
diets, have shown bran to be valu-
able on account of the fiber which
stimulates the passage of food
through the digestive tract and on
account of the utilization of the iron,
In which bran is high. and the adj
vantage which its ritamin b content
has in toning up the intestines.
The theory that the roughage in
bran Is too coarse for every day con-
sumption was not borne out by the
experiments Many OF the animals
which had been fed for an extended
period on 4 diet high In bran were
killed and dIssected- No LESSONS were
found In the tender lining of the In
restines- There were no apparent
iii effects on human beings who in
Guided large amounts of this rough
age In the daily diet for d long time.
Persons who are inactive and who
perhaps have not h~abitually includ-
ed enough vegetables and fruits and
whole grain cereals In their ordinary
diet may often take bran with ad-
vantage for the purpose of stimulat-
Ing intestinal action.
You will occasionally find some
with whom bran does not agree
either because of n sensitive diges-
tive tract. when all coarse foods
must be avoided, or because the
bran and other coarse foods pack
and have the opposite of the usual
effect OF Fastening the passage OF
feed

amount Of bran or whole grains
which include the bran may be use
fuI 1t may be used as a breakfast
