Dr. Wiley On
Your Health and War Bread-
By‘ Harvey W.. Wiley, M. D.
N times of stress such as now ob-
I tain throughout the werld, it has
been a common practise to adul
terate bread. The purpose of this
debasement is doubtless 40 make a
little wheat do a big service. The
materials used for adulteration
usually, though not always, have
some food value. This value is evi
dently inferior to that of wheat, rye
or maize. It is always inferior to the
germ and bran which are parts of
all cereal breadmaking materials.
There i 8 nothing more illogieal
than to continue the baneful practise
of removing these excellent food ma
terials, and then urge the addition
of others of far less value. Adulter
ate the flour with the whole wheat
(if that be adulteration), for it is at
least nature’s way. All kinds of
materials have been used to increase:
the bulk of war, or famine, bread—
from starch to sawdust. Why bar
mecide our bread? ’
The most objectionable mixtures
in bread are the so-called ‘‘white
eorn products,’’ consisting chiefly of
cornsstarch. Corn bread made of*
whole cornmeal is & wholesome and
acceptable article of itself and has
its place in the dietary, but corn
starch outside of the ‘‘pudding,’”’
which it is just as well not to eat,
has no place in the human dietary.
The adulteration of wheat flour
with corn-starch is a distinet threat
#o health; especially is this so if the
Dr. Wiley’s Question Box
AL’]‘IIOUGII I seem to be
in the best of health, my
nose gets very red during .
cold weather. Do you think
there can be something
wrong with my skin or diet?
—L. T. R. .
When one is thoroughly healthy,
and all the functions of his body
are working correctly, he should
not worry about a thin skin. The
red color i{s probably not due to
any excessive amount of blood, but
only to the thinness of the cuticle.
I do not know of any way to
avoid this trouble except to protect
your face as much as possible
when out in the cold. I advise you
strongly not to apply any kind of
treatment other than soft water
and pure soap, and not so much of
the soap; rubbing and massaging
the nose will only increase the dif
ficulty. I do mot know of~any way
of keeping the blood out of your
mose without tying the arteries that
lead thereto, and this would prove
fatal,
AUI'HOUGH I am quite .
healthy, I have been
several pounds underweight
since my baby was born two
years ago, and when I try
to correct t}‘lis by eating
more fattening food my face
breaks out in disagreeable
eruptions. What do you
advise —MRS, C.

corn flour be the corn flour df com
merce. This product is already de
vitalized to the tolerable limit. The
addition of fine ground corn-starch
makas a product that is wholly in
capable of performing its functions
as a nourishing diet. Whenever the
law permits the mixing of other sub
stances with flonr it should restrict
this mixing t 6 the home. The house
wife should be taught what things
may be mixed so as to ayoid a diet
which will threaten scurvy, beri-beri,
pellagra and polyneuritis.
Other materials which have been
proposed. as additions te bread are
yam flour, cottonseed meal, flaxseed
meal, peanut meal and other similar
products. With”the exception of
cottonseed and flaxseed meal, a mod
erate consumption of the other pro
ducts might be looked upon with a
considerable degree of toleration. I
am not-yet ready to admit that cot
tonseed meal and flaxseed meal
should form any integral part of a
bread ration. If they are to be used
at all the mixing should be done di
rectly by the food authorities or in
the household. The moderate mix
ing of flour and cornmeal in the
home is to be tolerated to a certain
extent.
The time is now ripe to insist upon
a food-conservation of a character
not to threaten the growth of chil
dren, and_to promote the mainten
ance of health of adults. There is no
better way to acgomplish this than
child whs the reason of your get
ting thin. 1t is not advisable for
the mother to eat fattening foods
such as malt extract, potatoés,
sweets and other desserts. She
should have a diet rich in nitrogen
in order to provide the sustenance
for her chfld\. rather than a diet
to make her stout. It is possible
you may have some intestinal In
fection and you should consult a
physiclan regarding this. Outdoor
exercise will tend always to pro
mote the health, but does not tend
to increase the weight, Eating and
sleeping a great deal and working
only a little will do that. Extra fat
is wholly undesirable. lean peo
ple are more efficlent, happler and
live longer than fat people. This
country would be far healthier, hap
pier and richer if the Elijah meth
od of tranglation had never been
invented.

is not likely that any plece of ma

not discouraging you from invest
ing this money if you think it ad

a lot more than a machine to re-_
store the functions of a distended

er gentle massage are the only
natural means that I know for this
purpose. Laxatives may help, but
should be used very sparingly, and
best under the advice of a compe
tent physician.

just a piano‘wire wrapped around a

* The bean is a numerous family.
You find him in white, black,, tan,
red, brown, green and every kind /of
motley in between. But there is one
characteristic common to all the
members- of this family and that is
‘the high percentage of protein or
meat quality which they contain and
" which gives them the right to be
“called ‘“the poor man'’s steak.’2
© Lima beans contain 18.1 per cent
of protein and white beans 22.5 per
cent. Compare this with 12.8 per
cen%’i‘n chicken, 15.9 per ¢ent in leg
of lamb, 16.4 per cent in round of
beef, 13.4 per centh? eggs, and 17.1
per cent in porterh6use steak.
More protein ¢an be obtained from
a pound of beans costing ten cents
than can be obtained from a pound
of porterhouse steak costing four
times as mueh. In other words,
beans give the, same muscle-forming
and staying qualities found in meat,
at one-third or one-foulih the cost.
On this account they should be fre
quently used not only to save our
pocketbooks, but to help conserve
our all too scanty meat supply.
Beaps also contain a large amount
of starch, thus:furnishing twa.of the
most important food groups, pro
tein and starch. The element almost
totally lacking in beans 1s fat, and
for this reason fat should always
be added in somg form to dishes pre
pared from beans.
Since beans are a dried form of
concentrated- food, some of their
‘original moisture must be restored
to them béfore they are cooked.
This can be accomplished by soak
ing them over night or, more quickly,
by pouring boiling water over them.
As beans contain a high percent
age of sulphur and other strong
salts, it is advisable to counteract
then by adding baking soda. Only
a small amount of soda should be
used, however. and the wafer in
which it is wsed should be drained
off. The hull of the bean is sonte
what indigestible, so that for chil
dren or those with delicate digestion
it 15 best to use the bean in some
form of puree or pulp with the hnlls

the Lima bean is one of the most de
licious. Even when dry it is capable
of preparation in a great many &p

or combined with inexpensive pieces

them:
