Zurich Herald, 1915-11-05, Page 3The Staff of Life.
Bread always has been .called "the
staff of life." That old saying came
into existence when bread and its
making was in the primitive state.
The wheat and rye were harvested
and prepared for food in a more or
lesscrude state. But that state left
the grain almost whole, and all the
virtues were allowed to remain in-
tact,
To -day, bread, as made .either at
home or in bakeries, is more of a men-
ace to health than "the .staff of life,"
Bread always is placed before us at
every meal and partaken of by the
whole family. Its healthfulness,
therefore, and: adaptation as food be-
comes a matter of more importance
than any other form of sustenance in
use.
In producing disease superfine flour
bread ranks next to pork and is made
mueji more unhealthful by the fer-
mentation process, which is destruc-
tive to the cell structure.
Yeast, when combined with dough,
changes a portion of the starch of the
dough into sugar, and this sugar is
then decomposed and changed into al-
cohol and carbonic acid gas, and as
this gas cannot .escape thzough the
gluten. of the dough it collects in small
bodies 'throughout : the mass and
causes the loaf to greatly enlarge un-
til the fermenting process is check-
. ed by the application of heat in bak-
ing. If this mass is allowed to remain
a little too long before being placed in
the oven it becomes a putrid, sour
mass, wholly obnoxious and unfit for
anything but the ash barrel.
By the chemical changes which take
place in the sugar alcohol and car-
bonic acid gas form 10 or 15 per cent.
That • takes away from the nutriment
of the bread 10 or 15 per cent, ren-
dering it-unhealthfulby the develop-
ment and presence of the gas and al-
cohol.
Those elements of the grain which
go to make bone, teeth and brain are
largely removed by boiling, and the
lime_.and phosphorous which nature
has placed next the inner surface of
the bran are mostly removed with
the latter by bolting. This process of
bolting is separating the coarser from
the finer particles by sifting.
The coarse elements in grain are
those beneficial to health. And these
elements are,,there ore, almost entire-
ly absent in fine flour and• the conse
quence is starvation of .the teeth and
bony structure of the body.
As long as people continue to use
fine bolted flour, with'nearly all the
elements of bone sifted from' it, they
must expect to have decayed teeth,
and feeble, slender bones.
If there is no reform in this direc-
tion in but a few generations more
our osseous systems -will have dwin-
dled down to dwarfish size, and nat-
tiral teeth in the young will be found
very much inferior to what they are
in this generation.
It is folly to look for the full and
natural growth of any petit of the
body which is mainly deprived of the
material in the food which enters
into it.
If whole wheat, corn meal and rye
were used exclusively for making
bread, and no hot fine flour biscuits
or bread were allowed to appear upon
the table, there would be little in-
digestion (for indigestion is a condi-
tion of fermentation), no headaches
and better regulated systems. '
When you have growing children
try feeding them with oatmeal bread,
whole wheat, rye or corn bread in
place of fine white flour bread and
you cannot fail to see a great im-
provement in their health, strength
and sturdiness inside of six months.
Too much care cannot be given our
children,even though we neglect- our
own systems. A future generation
depends on our care of this one.

keen edge. You enjoy your m,eals,

Pills of Mandrake and Butternut—
no substitute so good as the genuine.
SITE OF GARDEN OF EDEN.
Admiral Jellicoe
Discovered Tablets 'Give. It as Island
of Bahrein.
The history of Bahrein, in the Per-
sian Gulf, is long 'and interesting. An-
cient tombs found in the interior tell
us that the Phoenicians once settled
there. The kings of Assyria fre-
quently fought there. The Babylon-
ians called the island Dilmun.
Again the island is the centre of
interest, for there has recently been
discovered in. Babylonia a large clay
tablet recording the story of Para-
dise, the Deluge and the Fall of Man,
and the ' story tells us, says the
Christian Herald, that the island of
Bahrein, the ancient,Dilmun, was the
paradise, the Garden. of Eden, where
•man first lived.
The newly deciphered tablet record-
ing this story was among the many
inscribed objects found by the expe-
dition sent to Babylonia from the
University of ' Pennsylvania. Prof.
Stephen Langdon, a young American
scholar, who is professor of Assy-
riology in Jesus College, Oxford, Eng-
land, a chair endowedby an American
family, was visiting the museum in
Philadelphia in the autumn of 1
012.
At thattime he copied a' number'
of the tablets, one of which was a
triangular fragment. He took the
clay tablet to oxford, where it was
shown to the eminent English scholar
Prof. Sayce, and it was ' discovered
that it recorded a part of an early
Sumerian story of the flood and of the
fall of man.

CHILDHOOD AILMENTS -
Ailments such as constipation, colic,
colds, vomiting, etc., seize children of
all ages, and the mother should be on
her guard against these troubles by
keeping a box of Baby's Own .Tablets
in the house. If any of these troubles
come on suddenly the tablets will cure
them, or if the little one is given an
occasional dose of the tablets he will
escape these troubles. The tablets
are sold by medicine dealers or by
mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,
Ont.
MOTHER'S "NOTIONS"
Good for Young People to Follow.
"My little grandson often comes up
to show me how large the muscles of
his arms are.
"He was a delicate child, but has
developed into a strong, healthy boy,
and Postum has been the principal
factor.
"I was induced to give him the Pos-
tum because of my own experience
with it.
"I am . sixty years old, and have
been a victim of nervous dyspepsia
for many years. Have tried all sorts
of medicines and had treatment from
many physicians, but no permanent
relief came.
"1 used -to read the Postum adver-
tisements in our paper. At first I
gave but little attention to them, but
finally something in one of the adver-
tisements made me conclude to try
Postum.
"I was very particular to have it
prepared strictly according to direc-
tions, and used good, rich cream. It
was very nice indeed, and about bed-
time I said to the members of the
family that I believed I felt better.
One of them laughed and said, `That's
another of mother's notions,' but the
notion has not left me yet.
"I continued to improve right along
after leaving off tea and coffee and
taking Postum, and now after three
years' use I feel so well that I am
almost young again. I know Postum
was the cause of the change in my
health and I cannot say too much in
its favor. I wish I could persuade all
nervous people to use it."
Name given by Canadian Postum
Co., Windsor, Ont.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereal—the original form
—must be well boiled. 15c and 25c
packages.
Instant Postum—a soluble powder
dissolves quickly in a cup of hot
water, and, with cream • and sugar,
makes a delicious beverage instantly.
80c and 50e tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious
and cost about the same per cup.
"There's a Reason" for Postum.
—sold by Grocers.

The Warm Bath.
Smythe's mistake, which is describ-
ed in an English contemporary, must
have been disconcerting, to say the
least.
"You'll find your bath in the out-
'ouse."
Thus he had been directed the night
bstoppreing,
agt the little inri where he was
and that is why he was now,
in hisng, pushing open
in his dressing gown, p g. p
the outhouse door. It was dark, but
there was the tub, and it would do.
He hopped in. In the middle of his
ablutions the red-faced landlord
throust his head in at the door. In
the dim light ho failed to see the man
in the tup.
"Water quite nicely warm, thanks,"
observed Smythe, "but it's a trifle
muddy."
""Muddy be hanged!" roared the
landlord, bursting in suddenly. "Your
tub's in the next place. Git out of it,
you blitherin' idiot! Not a word of
this in the Ouse, mind! not a word
of this in the 'ousel That's my 'ome.

drive their own cars, filled with
woui ded, over war-torn roads and
half -wrecked bridges with skill and
daring. Often they run them under
fire, and not one of them has flinched.
"Ir ever this terrible time, which
seems an endless nightmare, does
really end," the American wife of an
Englishman of high social position,.
who has been loyally working with
the rest, wrote home recently, "and if
I wake up to peace and pretty clothes
and gay doings, and life as it used to
be—sometimes I wonder who it will
be that will wake ? Not I, as I am
now, or it wouldn't be waking, and
not I, the old I of before the war;
that I, my dear, is as dead as if she
had been shot. I want to be happy
and jolly again, yet when I think of
the old life it seems no more possible
to take it up and live it than to go
back and be a little girl. I have died,
or grown up, or been born again since
then—I don't quite know which! I
only know that I am, and must be,
different, and that I cannot even wish
to be the same again."
Sometimes to lose a self is to find
a soul.

kitchen in the world. Nearly 50,000
entirely destitute .people wait inthe
queues every day, and over 6,000 gal-
lons of soup and 414 tons of bread are
distributed. More than one hundred
people are engaged in the preparation
of the soup.

ARMY TAILOR'S RICHES.
Perquisites of Clippings of Suits
Went Into Big Figures.
Who in the French army is making
the biggest money out of the war?
Answer, the regimental master tailor.
He draws $1.,000 a month extra, mere-
ly from the sale of the clippings of
regimental cloth,
This fact was brought out at a
court martial on an orderly in the ser-
vice of a regimental tailor.
"Good business!" exclaimed the
president of the court.
"Incredible!" ejaculated the crown
prosecutor.
"Why, General Joffre doesn't make
that much!" observed another lawyer
in the case.
"At that rate," said another law-
yer, a lightning calculator, "the 400
master tailors of the army have pock-
eted $5,200,000 from the State trea
sury in the last twelve months."
The orderly -was sent to prison for
a year. The regimental tailor got off
free, as the clippings are a perquisite
of his office.

der the' bed to see if there isa man

Russian Tea Buyers Active.
Now that vodka has been abolish-
ed, the Russians are taking to tea
with great favor. Russian agents
are buying great quantities of tea in

of the product.
WAR AND BUTTERFLIES.
What Fashionable Women Are Doing
in the Great War.
Centuries ago a chronicler of the
crusades recorded quaintly of a cer-
tain vain and valorous knight:
"Three wounds he received in this
,battle, whereat he laughed; but the
Paynim who shore his tall plume he
cursed deeply, and rested not till he
had, with his good sword, shorn off
his head."
That was in the day when every
gentleman who was not a priest must
be a fighter, and could be a dandy
only by the way. It was many years
later that another type arose, dandy
first and fighter afterward: the grace-
ful idler, the society fop, suddenly
transformed by patriotism, at his
country's call, into a hero. History
proved him, fiction adopted him; he
became one of the most popular fig-
ures in drama, story, and romance.
But until now neither fact nor fiction
has supplied a corresponding type of
heroine. •
The great war of to -day, although
it demands of many of the noble wo-
men who have answered the call
greater ability, responsibility, and
thoroughness of training than has
ever been demanded of women before,
has also offered opportunities of ser-
vice to others, hitherto merely women
of fashion and the gay world, which
many have eagerly accepted. Women
used only to organizing balls toil on
committees; women who have shone
in foreign capitals interpret for hap-
less refugees; women who have play-
ed with petted children in, charming
nurseries establish orphanages, care.
for destitute mothers, or adopt war
babies. Other women, of the modern.
athletic type, untrained in nursing,
devote their nerve and muscle to slav-
ing in Hospitals,—hastily improvised,
ill equipped, overcrowded, under-
manned hospitals, --where they fag
for the real nurses, and turn their
hands to anything from writing wills
and messages for dying.men to men-
ial and often horrible tasks of wash-
ing, scrubbing and disinfecting.
Others give themselves, with their

The Silver Lining.
War does not make all men blood-
thirsty. On the banks of the Yser in
Belgium where there has been such
fierce fighting, the ambulance men one
day found a young German badly
wounded; and in the midst of the
bursting shells they stopped to scrib-
ble a line describing what they had
seen and heard, and pinned it on the
blanket that enveloped him.
When he reached the improvised
hospital, the nurses read theand
blood-
stained sheet of packing paper,
one or two brushed away tears as
they did so. It bore these words: "He
saved the lives of seven British sol-
diers." It is good to know that, ten-
derly cared for by an English doctor,
he eventually recovered.
