"he laboratories of Cam-! bridge, (ilasgow and London universities and in a number of factories and hospitals. The committee finds that bread composed of whole wheat flour mixed with 20 per cent of other cereals is not only suited to all ages and digestions, but also "gives a higher per centage of energy." The loaves used in the experiment were baked from flour milled under the personal supervision of A. E. Humphries, president of the National Association of British and Irish Millers. No precaution was omitted to make the experiment complete, and every result was worked out in a series of tables. At one factory in Yorkshire, the tests were applied to a group of 20 men, nine women, and two children, ft was their sole bread supply for a period of two months and they were under medical supervision throughout. In no case did it cause digestion trou-[ ble and in certain cases health seemed | to improve during its use. When the mixed bread was tried on twenty-five patients suffering from tuberculosis it was found that the bread was preferred by the majority of the patients, all of whom had more or less mpaired digestion. Most of the natients trained weiirht durinir the i period they were under observation. The report of the committee says: "The main fact established in that the human body can make better use of the parts of the wheat which havej hitherto been discarded than the pigsj end poultry to which these rich and j nut:i*nt by-products of milling have { been given in the past. The country has gained enormously in food and energy from the compulsory inclusion in the loaf of these by-products. The gain can be expressed in definite terms as increase of 1,7000 billion calories of energy on the wheat milled each year in this country, or enough to extend the cereal supply of energy J for more than a month."

Reinsch, to the War and State Departments at Washington are heeded. The idea of a commercial regiment originated with Major Arthur Bassett of the United States army, stationed in Tientsin. His plan was suggested to Minister Reinsch and by the latter submitted to Washington for consideration. I he idea, said Major lsassett, is briefly, to take younpr men with business experience or who expect to follow a business career who are drafted into the army and instead of sending them to France organize them into a snecial reeimont and send them to China. These men could pret their military training here just as thorouprhlv as elsewhere and at the same time aenuire a proundinff in Eastern commercial methods. Thev would relieve troops now stationed here who would be available for service on the Western front. "The North China School of I,an(ruaires. which is already doinp rood work in teaching the northern or Mandarin Chinese has tentatively promised to onen a branch of the schor 1 in Tientsin to teach American troops as I have sutrpested. At the same time arrangements could easily be made for a course of instruction in Chinese commercial methods arid .nisiness opportunities. With a knowl'-d"'of the lnmrunere and with facilities for observation \v*hioh could be assured, each man at the close of the war would become a factor for the promotion 01 nimMn<iii inmv im i,,,,,,. "In the past tradinor has been done from tho treaty ports whence the Chinese took the poods into the interior and marked them. The Japanese, however, have more or less broken away from this practice: they have penetrated into the interior and have made it necessary for the old method of eonfininp operations to treaty ports to he done away. If Western nations are to compete for this Chinese business, a lnrpe number of younp business men who sneak the laneuape and know the customs and practices of the people "A great net of men an ocean of unsp t Sometimes I 1 VVII9UIIIIIVV h ago I was with one of the R *y call.
