WHAT MAKES
GOOD BREAD
Bread is tho oldest of prepared
foods Long before fire was dis
covered it was quite natural to
pulverlzo tho hard gralnB between
stones to moisten the meal thus made
press- it Into cakes and dry it In tho
sun This was the original unlcavemad
bread Only tho application of flro
to cakes accidentally fermented by
moisture and temperature was neces
sary to produce the modern staff of
life
Good bread will alone support life
Indefinitely Thousands of our sturdy
foreign laborers maintain good health
and strength chiefly on coarse bread
I had an opportunity lately to oxamlne
a Dutch laborer about 70 years old
who said he had lived all his llfo on
ryo bread and coffee and he was in
perfect heaHh in spite of the coffee
Thomas Parr an English farmer
lived more than 160 year on coarse
bread cheese small beer and whey
The bread Wan probably rye wheat
being then used only by the wealthy
Bread has one advantage over nuts
as the chief staple food bulk The
stomach is not absolutely necessary
to the digestive process It is merely
a receptaclo for the- mass of food
taken at a meal but has added the
capacity for reducing tho mass to a
fine liquid before passing It on to the
intestine or second stomach where
the work of digestion is completed
A German experimenter somo years
ago lemoved the stomach of a dog
after which it lived for several years
regaining most of its lost weight
The stomach has also developed the
capacity for converting proteld of
which flesh nuts and grains largely
consist into soluble peptone the sub
stance from which all the tissues are
built Tho same process Is continued
In tho Intestine If all tho proteid is
not broken up and made soluble in
the stomach The conversion of
starch Into sugar by tho action of tho
saliva begun in the mouth continues
In tho stomach till tho mass becomes
saturated with tho hydrochloric acid
of the gastric fluid secreted by the
stomach after which any starch re
maining must run tho risk of fermen
tation before its digestion Is com
pleted In the Intestine
Experimenters who have lived on n
nut and fruit diet for short times
report a craving for other foods
and this is the invariable experience
for a time of those who adopts the
scientific diet Now a man of ma
ture v ears and on- whose word I can
rely who has been living on the sim
ple diet for seven months working as
a merchant full hours informs mo
that this craving has entirely disap
peared Another n manufacture
sajs that he now aftei about threo
montns enjoys a meal of wholo
wheU bread and peanuts or of prunes
as well as he formerly enjoyed while
eating a mixed meal and of courjo
never regrets It afterwards as he for
raorely regretted overeating The
Italian laborer working hard phys
ically on rye bread macaroni garlic
and beer has no craving for ojsters
or pie or pork
The merchant abovo referred to
commonly had a craving formerly on
coming homo from church or opera
Parkhuret Deprecates What
Known as American Hustle
Is
In a recent sermon Dr Charles II
Parkhurst at the Madison Square
Presbyterian church deprecated tho
swollen ambition and frantic endeavor
of the present day American life
American hustle is putting Its
blight upon everything that really de
serves to be called substantial Amer
ican progress he said We havo re
cently been informed by ono who has
had exceptional opportunity to ac
quaint himself with the facts that with
Ml the crowding and prodding that dis
tinguishes the American schoolroom
there Is less to show for It than is
secured by the more steady and com
posed dlsciplino ot German instruc
tion
A German is never in a hurry but
he does as much as an American and
does It belter and more thoroughly
pnd with lesVwrench to himself and to
Mber people And when ij somes to a
late and would oat a second supper
and suffers V
If all tho elements necessary for tho
bodys nutrition are supplied thero
will bo no dcBlra for somo unnatural
food Wo know that ono who Is oat
ing a few slices of wholo wheat rye
or corn bread ahd fruit nt a separate
meal can not stiffer for lack of any
nutrlttvo clement oven it ho cats no
nuts or does not drink tho glass of
buttermilk befpro rotlrlng
Corn contains more oil that wheat
Corn meal is light and has a bono
ficlal effect upon elimination It la
moro heating than whoat
Oats is tho richest of the cereals
It contains moro fat and moro min
eral salts than wheat but its Btarch
cells are encased in coarse- cellulose
fibers so that it must ho very thor
oughly cooked to make its starch il
gcstlble The rolled oats are pref
erable to tho steel cut
Ryo contains less mlnoral tnattor
than wheat but Its starch is equal
to that of rice Artificial digestive
tests showed it to bo 12 times moro
digestible than wheat stat h It fol
lows that tho objections urged against
flno wheat starch bread do not apply
to rye bread Tho starch of ryo bread
is practically digested beyond the dan
ger of fermentation No doubt this
explains tho superior health of thoso
who live on rye bread Tho Roman
gladiators were fedron rye Wheat and
corn
Now considering the peculiar fea
tures of corn ryo and wheat it Is ev
ident that a much better breaa could
be made from a combination of these
than from either separately
The mixture of a little corn meal
and wheat with rye makes thd bread
lighter and more laxative
Bread should be cut Into slices and
allowed to dry to some extent at
least before being eaten Tho less
soft cereal food is eaten the better
especially for children The tendency
1b to swallow soft food with little
mastication Tho teeth however can
bo properly developed and maintained
only by eating hard food
The objections urged against fresh
whito bread do not apply equal
ly to toast Tho starch of which
toast zwieback or rusk chiefly con
sists has been largely convorted into
sugar by dry heat This is easily
digested being open to the action of
thodlgestlvo fluids -Hence for per
sons of vveik digestion it is much su
perior to fresh broad to far as th
supply of heat and muscular force is
concerned only Crackers aro Inferior
to toast especially It soaked in soup
or other liquid
Entiro wheat bread is not adapted
to toasting Its albumen being already
too much coagulated for tho best nu
trition Evidently cheese should not
bo toasted Boiled potatoes are tho
better for toasting so far as tho starch
element is concerned providing no fat
ho used Fried potatoes aro a pro
lific souice of dietetic troubles
Ono may bo eating sufficient albu
men stnich fat and sugar which con
stitute 95 per cent or more of all
solid nutriment the body needs and
yet may becomo weak sickly Ineffi
cient nnd finally dlo for lack of proper
nourishment For perfect nutrition
wo must have in tho blood in addi
tion Potash sodium phosphorus
calcium magnesium iron sulphur
chlorine and fluoilno
Potash is essential in every part
of the body but especially in tho
brain and nerve centers In all nerve
disorders it is found to bo deficient in
tho blood Pei haps tho quick vIt
of the Irish Is due partly to tho
abundant supply of potash and phos
phorus they have got for centuries
from potatoes and wheat which form
so large a part of their diet Tho best
sources of potash are Beans pota
toes peanuts wheat lettuce prunes
cucumbers meat walnuts
Sodium Is found in overy tissue of
tho body Without it the processes of
nutiitlon could not be carried on
Sodium is one of tho elemonts of com
mon salt but It is not necessary to
cat salt to get chlorine fanny careful

The people of this country are Just

In peanuts and wheat
Tho best soUrceB of sodjum are
Milk spinach wheat lentils barley

Sulphur seems to be Very Important
In nutrition for tho average body con
tains about three ounces of It Mrs
Squcers dlscovored that when given
in crude mineral form It has an effect
opposite to that which It Is probably
designed to serve Its best sources
ojjxatural supply are Potatoes beanB
horseradish peanuts figs lettuco
olives barley milk meat eggs pats
Wheat White flour contains none
Iron Is a very necessary element In
the blood White bread contains
none of It milk a Bmall percentage
The foods richest In iron aro Len

apples grapes prunes qats onionB
Calcium is very necessary for the
formation of bono especially In chll
dren Its beat sources aref Milk
Abb eggs cocoanut beechnuts onions

Chlorine Is necessary for the forma
tion of gastric fluid used in digestion
It -also -has an Important influence In
tho oxygenation of the brood Its
host sources are Milk cocoanut lot

corn beans meat fish wheat Fin
white flour contains no chlorine
Silicon gives hardness to tho bones

supply are Lettuco cabbage figs
oats barley wheat nuts
Fluorine seems to glVo elasticity to
tho veins and muscles It Is best sup
plied by lettuce potatoes figs onions
nuts milk wheat rye olives apples
grapes
Magnesium 1b always found In th
blood though there is some doubt ai
to its office Its best sources are
Nuts beans wheat -milk oats corn
lettuco rye potatoes
Phosphorus Is essential to th
growth of tho cells Brain and nerve
energy seem to depend largely upon
the supply of phosphorus It is very
important to supply ample phosphorus
in tho food of growing children and
brain workers One twelfth of the solid
matter of tho brain is phosphorua
The old theory that fish supply an ex
traordlnary amount of phosphorua
seems not to bo well founded The
foods that best supply phosphorus are
Beans peas milk wheat rye corn
eggs nuts potatoes meats fish figs
carrots cabbage
It is now clear that all tho elements
ot nutrition are supplied by bread
nuts fruits milk and meat It one Ia
satisfied that meat is injurious ho
can gradually eliminate that from hla
dietary I have shown In a previous
article- why buttermilk is bolter for
tho adult than sweet milk and I ad
vise It in every caso
It Is the various compounds of the
mineral elements that aro so Impor
tant in the processes of nutrition So
important aro they that a scTfool oi
medicine biochemistry has been
based upon their administration
Iron Bulphur or phosphorus may be
found deficient in thev blood ps In
dicated by symptoms but you caauot
furnish sulphur to tho blood by di ink
ing a solution of sulphur water Min
eral food must go through tho vege
table or animal If wo want iron or
sulphur we must eat eggs
meat peanuts wheat or other nutsor
cereals The vegetables especially
beans lettuce potatoes and nuts are
richest in the mineral salts Nuts
