LEAVENED BREAD A MENACE
, Italian Hyglenlst Recommends the
Substitution of Whole Wheat With
Minimum Amount of Yeast.
Leavened bread has been declared
a menace to health aa well as a na- : 1
tional economic loss by Prof. A. Ro- 1
mano, a distinguished Italian hygion- '
1st. Professor Romano's statement ]
came as a result of the study of Italian
scientists and medical men of the '
bread and wheat situation to forestall the
threatened shortage of wheat and '
consequently bread. The professor 1
urges in substitution of the leavened *
bread a broad made from whole wheat
and, at the most, from the minimum 1
of yeast. I
The Italian expert declares that the 1
process of leavenin* makes bread too ! 1
soft and renders it liable to be bad- j (
ly masticated and imperfectly mixed 1
with saliva, especially when taken in *
milk or soup or dipped into various : 1
liquids according to prevailing Italian *
custom, when it is apt to be rapidly
swallowed. The digestion of bread
under these conditions is more or less 1
imperfect, even though it does not f
necessarily reach the point of causing
dyspeptic symptoms, and it is assim- j
ilated in less proportion to what it r
would be in normal circumstances.
Moreover, the added yeast preserves
part of its activity even after baking, 1
and continues to ferment in the stom- ; a
ach, giving rise to the production of "
acetic and lactic acids, among other ?
substances, which are harmful to those i a
subject to an irritable state of the 8
mucous membrane. Professor Ho- j 6
uiano insists, therefore, that the use of 1
white leavened bread is a serious error
in alimentary hygiene, while it also j
constitutes an enormous loss in do- J
mestlc and national economy. He advises
that bread should not only be v
made with whole wheat, but that it 1
should not be subjected to the process
of leavening.
Lest it should be thought imposslbio
to manufacture a wholemeal bread
without leavening which would satis- .
fy the taste, he mentions that such
bread has been for some time on the
market abroad, and in regard to flavor
has met with entire approbation.

No Cure for Grippe.
There is no use worrying about the
weather, about the war. about unpleasant
neighbors, about pressing necessl
ties and about everything, but one. 1
Uo out and get the grippe. When you j
get that all your other troubles will J
be trivial. The doctors tell of many j
ways to prevent the grippe but not 1
one has discovered a cure. Put sul '
phur in your shoes, advises one phy- 1
slcian, as a preventive. Another says 1
tie some asafetida around your neck,
that will keep the grippe germs away !
and your friends also. A third sug '
gests eating saltlno crackers and go- 1
ing to bed, while another says soap
is a hereditary enemy of la grippe. 1
Lather yourself with it and then go to 1
bed. A Brooklyn physician advises 1
grippe patients to waltz into some hos- 1
pltal and have that sinister thyroid
gland cut away from its lair. Then
you will be immune. "Don't smoke,
don't drink, don t indulge in kissing,
and above all taboo eating as much <
as possible," says the health department,
then you escape the ka-choo. i
The foregoing are only a few ways <
to prevent grippe. If you carefully i
follow all these instructions what la
left of you will not have the grippe. I

Metals and Munitions. : '
Some remarkable factii about the 1
metal required to fill the orders for ,
shrapnel and ether shells that Europe 1
has placed in the llnittd States *ere j 1
given recently by the Mining and En- j 1
gineerlng World. A British 3.3-inch 1
shrapnel shell requires 6 pounds 16% j
ounces of steel, and 5 pounds 9%
ounces of brass that contains from 66 1
to 70 per cent of copper, or about 3% j !
pounds; and rouna the shell Is a small '
copper band thai weighs 4% ounces 1
A shell of trfat size requires 1 87
I>oundH of spelter. Its contents con-'
sist of 7 92 pounds of bullets, com- ,
posed of seven parts of lead and one '
part of antimony. Now, Europo has . 1
ordered not less thau 25.000,000 shells
of all kinds. To make them will use
up 101.000.000 pounds of copper, 46,750,000
pounds of spelter and 173,250,000
pounds of lead.

The last of the women who went to

Her husband was a sergeant.
She possessed a remarkable memory,
and could give a vivid description of

ROMANTIC STORY OF WHEAT
World Being Fed on Grain Grown on
Land That Was Comparatively Recently
a Waste.
A direct result of the present war.
more pleasant to contemplate than the
stories of carnage, is the stimulus it
has given to the chief industry of the
huge central basin of North America.
Winnipeg is the geographical center
3f the continent, and from it in every
direction in Canada and far down into
the United States spread the rolling
ne wonaerrul activity of "General !
Headquarters," a British commander
n Mesopotamia! Some days before,
mother general, unkaovu. an Ausrlan
this time, made hla appearance
n the translation of a Viennese bulle:in,
published in a number of SwissFrench
papers. This was "General
K-u-k," who was named as commanding
the right wing of the army operating
against the Montenegrins. In some
)f the Parisian journals military crlticB
gravely discussed General K-u-k and
the composition of his forces. Somewhat
later a note appeared in the
Swiss papers acknowledging that an
error had been made at Geneva In
transmission and that the initials
K-u-k, of three words, had been mistaken
for the name of a general, the
abbreviation being intended for the
German terms, "Kaiserllch und koealgllch"
(Imperial and royal).
Problem of Pumpernickel.
Is pumpernickel bread or cake?
This question is agitating legal and
commercial circles In Frankfort-on-theMain.
If this delicacy is a bread, its
sale is limited under the card system.
wnereas ir it is cane it may be sold
ad lib.
The police of Frankfort had been
trying to stop the sale of pumpernickel
without the necessary "bread card,"
but when a case was takon to court
the decision was to the effect that it
was a delicacy and could be sold accordingly.
But this didn't settle the
matter, as the authorities appealed the
case and declared they -would keep on
arresting violators of the card rule.
The Frankforter Zeltung of November
30 says an exception is made in
the case of pumpernickel made from
flour sold at the government distribution
stations especially for thai purpose.
Serbians Gnawed Bark Off Trees.
The English Red Cross unit attached
to the Serbian army had 'to
abandon $5,000 worth of tents, several
motor cars and valuable sets of operating
Instruments, besides leaving
the wounded behind in the hands of
the advancing Bulgarians.
Two of these nurses have reached
Salonikl with nothing but the clothes
they had on. Everything else was
lost. The two young women -had
tramped for seven days, making 24
miles in one day.
Roads were covered with mud and
the women had to spend the night In
barns and earthen hovels. Some of
the refugees and urlsonert were so
hungry, said the nurses, they they ate
the bark of trees. They declared the
patience and endurance: of the Serbians
was marvelous and there was
no complaining. v I
Children Int#r6st King.
The king of Spain has become interested
in Juvenile courts ai^i has Instructed
the minister of justice to
('raw up and submit to parliament a
bill creating children's courts In various
parts of Spain. The plan is to
have a presiding Judge, who will have
jurisdiction over children under fifteen
years old It will have authority
in cases of vagrancy and delinquency,
and where the parents are shown to
be irresponsible they may be deprived
of their guardianship.
The courts, according to the king's
intention, will be modeled on similar
Institutions In England. During bis
visits to London, and before the war
Alfonso and his queen went to London
at least once a year, the king frequently
visited the various courta and
took an especial Interest in the Juve- ]
alia ana.
r , *
luiivb oi wnai in unuouDtecuy tne greatest
wheat region in the world.
The figures presented by the American
and Canadian governments for the I
rear just closed tell a romantic story, i
In the area of the Canadian Northwest
tnd of the American border states 600,>00,000
bushels of the - highest grade
vheat known to the markets was
trown, and yet within the memory of
nen not yet old every acre of it was
fiven over to the Indian and the bufalo.
Long after our Civil war a British
raveler wrote an exceedingly inter<sting
book called "The Oreat Lone
Land," describing his struggles with
>llzzards and starvation in what is
tow the wheat empire. He did not
hink much of it as a country for set- 1
lers; but time has quickly shown how
nuch he was mistaken, -just as it
howed in a few years de Tocquevilles
;roat error when he predicted that
iur western advance would break
igainBt the Rocky mountains, or Mac ulay's
miscalculation when he assert- j
id that we would cease to grow much
ib soon as all our good free land was 1
aken up.
There are many impressive chapters
n the story of the continent, but there |
s none more picturesque thar. the one
vhich Is being made in our day by a
train of wheat.

The oil he employs with such effectiveness
is a yellow, clear liquid, slightly
phosphorescent, so as to be faintly
visible at night. It is acid and is
virtually acrid when it falls upon any
tender living tissue. It is extremely
volatile, and a tiny drop is sufficient
to All all the surrounding atmosphere

in large quantities it is suffocating,
sometimes producing unconsciousness
and even death.
