NOW ABOUT THIS WHEAT GERM BUSINESS

 One reader sends an inquiry about "Dr. Brady's wheat germ" which it seems, is offered to people to whom have recommended wheat germ. know nothing about 1t.
 Another sends a clipping in which q firm offers wheat germ "as advised by pr. Brady" know nothing about that either. No one has my consent to use my name to persuade people to buy anything. of course I'm not the only Dr. Brady in the country, and pirate may readily claim he did not intend that peo- pie think I approved his goods. When you see my name SO used you may be sure 1t is not Doc Brady who runs the health column in this newspaper.
 A dentor-gullible fellows, the dentors writes a letter to tell me about @ fancy wheat germ which costs, believe 1t or not, one berry |per pound tin, or maybe the con- tainer is pure aluminium or ster- ing silver. Anyway the dentor has been persuaded to believe the dol- lar wheat gerni--a dollar a pound, not a dollar bushel-is a superior article and probably contains more vitamin B complex than common wheat germ purchased from a grist mill at from three to six cents a pound.
 Cartons of wheat germ retailing for 70 cents for 2 1-2 pounds have been on sale in large drug stores in the far west for some years. An eastern milling company sells fine wheat germ meal for 20 cents a pound, the customer paying the parcel post or other delivery charge.
 Wheat germ is probably the best natural source of vitamin B coni- plex for anybody or everybody.
 Although I was not brought up in a sawmill, I like 70 chew some plain wheat whenever I can get some to chew, and 1 am equally fond of raw wheat germ. It is fine food, raw or cooked, for any one. Why people hesitate to eat 1t freely is one of the odd things about American life. Notions. not know. ledge, govern the eating habits Of the public.
 Three or four ounces of wheat germ daily assures precty adequate ration of vitamin B complex, even if none is obtained in other foods.
 Eat wheat germ as you would eat any cereal. Or mix 1t, raw or cooked with any cereal or other food. or incorporate 1t in any recipe calling for flour, in place of one-half Of the flour recipe calls for. Ordinary cooking or baking destroys only Q small portion of the vitamin B in wheat germ, wheat bran, or plain wheat.
 There isn't room here to attempt to list all the complaints that vita min B complex prevents, aIleviates or cures. All we say today is that wheat germ is good wholesome food for anybody.
