"That would seem curious but for the
fact that the winding of the clock pro-

Suppose I set the alarm for 6:30. In

"There are plenty of .people who have

WAR BREAD.
Responsible for Digestive Dis..
orders Followed by Eruptions.
Reports of illness through eating
war bread are beteg received from all
over the country, and the news that
Lord Rhondda has instituted an in-
quiry into the cause will come as it
relief to omany, says the Dundee Ad -
The bread is said to have given
rise to digestive troubles and then
eruption* in many districts. Thisis
said to be due to the fact that some
bakers are using imported flour, whicii
contains beans and rice—ingredients
which are quite unfit for breadmaking.
The inclusion of the germ sets free a
large percentage of fat which is un-
suitable for weak digestions. Then,
of course, regulation rlour doe e not
possess the :eloping properties which
wheaten flour does, and this fact again
gives rise to disorders.
The giay loaf can never be as pal-
ateble as the white one, but it can be
made equally digestible and nourish-
ing if the necessary precautions are
taken , Still, our bread of to -day, 'with
