Show DANCER OF WHITE BREAD.' " Soma Mill Hove Machinery For Bleach-Ine Bleach-Ine tho flour. I was informed n few weeks ago by a gentleman who owns lurgo flour mills that tho crazo for white bread Is being carried to such extremes that many millers nre putting up expensive machinery for the purposo of actually bleaching the flour. This Is being dono by ozone and nitrous ni-trous acid, tho object being to make an nrtlflclnlly white bread und to en-ablo en-ablo the grain to bo used which would otherwise give a darker color to tho flour. The development of the grinding process pro-cess during tho last few years has been such that tho old-fashioned stones havo been replaced by steel rollers actuated ac-tuated under great pressure. Tho germ and other most nutritive constituents of tho wheat nro thus to to a great extent abstracted and the valuable character of tho bread greatly reduced. It Is tho opinion of many who can speak with authority on the subject that bread, instead of being, ns formerly, for-merly, tho "staff of life," has become to a great degree an Indlgestlbio non-nutritive non-nutritive food, nnd that It is responsible, responsi-ble, among other causes, for tho want ot bono and for tho dental troubles lu the children of tho present generation. It is doubtless true that tho variety varie-ty of food now obtainable in a mcas-uro mcas-uro compensates, in the caso of thoso who can afford It, for this abstraction of phosphates; but I think I am Justified Justi-fied In stating that every medical man, If asked, will give it as his opinion that very whlto bread should be avoided, avoid-ed, and that "seconds" flour, now almost al-most unprocurable, should only be used either for bread or pastry.
