CHAPTER 34 The grain of wheat ground into whole meal, nothing added, nothing removed, is rich in all the indispensa ble food minerals in their highly or ganized forms so essential to healthy animal life. The folly of comparing the "di gestibility" ol' first patent flour with the "iniligestibility" of bran stands forth self-revealed through the very nature of the arguments employed by the millers. They say, as we have seen, that patent flour or while bread made from patent flour is "more digestible" than bran because it is "more completely absorbed" than bran. Let us examine these statements, "'omplete absorption means constipa tion. Deficiency of mineral salts means constipation. Absence of cel lulose or zber means constipation. Bran taljes up moisture and holds it in the intestines, thereby making the intestinal mass more elastic. Bran stimulates peristalis, thereby increas ing the rhythmic waves of contraction and relaxation so necessary to the pro cess of elimination. Bran surrenders to the body the soluble extractives, salts, and colloids which it contains. These salts and colloids, which are physiologically active, are absorbed. As we have al ready seen and shall still further see, t hesß physiologically active sub stances assist in the absorption of other necessary food elements. I.et us examine' into this phrase "complete absorption" in order to see what it actually means when em ployed by the complete absorpttonists who so highly indorse the use of white or first patent flour and so bitterly oppose the use of bran in human food. Bran is, of course but one of the discarded particles of the wheat ber ry, and its importance must not be over emphasized at the expense of the other discarded elements. In referring to bran here it is to be considered not as a food in itself, but merely as a natural part of such foods as wheat, corn and rice.

Flour contains 1 per cent, fat: b contains 4 per cent. fal. The lecithins or phosphorized fats indispensable to normal nutrition are found in bran as well as in the germ of the meal. In the milling of pat ent flour the lecithins are discarded. Patent (lour contains less than Ms of 1 per cent; of mineral sails; bran contains ten times this quantity. Of Phosphorus alone bran contains twelve times as much as patent flour. This does not mean that bran is a substitute for whole meal. Bran lacks a number of the elements that are found in the cells of the thin outer skin of the wheat. Bran, as already suggested, is mere ly a part of the wheat, and its im portance must not l>e emphasized at the expense of the other parls. It is the grain of wheat taken as a whole, with bran and germ includ ed. nothing added and nothing re moved, that is ground into honest whole wheat meal. Such meal is rich in all of the food minerals essential to animal life, and contains just that quantity of bran necessary to make constipation impossible. Where constipation is avoided* the 1 absorption of the irritating and pois onous end-products or toxines of in testinal putrefaction is rendered quite impossible. Thus one of the suspected causes of cancer is also avoided. The idea that bran or any other food adjunct added to the diet of man will cure cancer is not. advanced here. Such an idea is abhorrent to common sense. Foolish indeed would be the cancer victim who resorted to bran as a cancer cure when expert surgical aid is what he most needs. Proof is not lacking to indicate that the food elements, so ruthlessly discarded by the common people in their preference .for refined and de mineraized breadstuffs, are factors of such serious significance in the pre vention of many diseases that they can no longer be ignored by the scientific world. AUGUSTA SWEPT BY CONFLAGRATION [Continued From First Page.] j escapes, and several firemen were severely burned. Historic diuroli Burns I The flame-swept area covers some i thing like one and a quarter square 1 miles, and in It were the city's largest office and business buildings on the north side of Broad street; warehouses 1 on historic "Cotton How," containing | I thousands of bales of cotton and some i six hundred homes, many of them in | I the city's most exclusive residence I ! section. Among other structures' j destroyed was St. Paul's Episcopal j Church, built 135 years ago. Militia on Duty TAJSS early to-day was apportioned j i as follows: Business and office buildings and j j contents, $2,000,000; cotton ware ! houses and contents. $1,&00,000: resl-! i dences and household goods, $1,000,-! 000; various other structures, $500,- [ 000. : To-day local militia companies were j on duty, having been called out last I night. Hotels and homes in the sections of tile city not reached by the fire I were thrown open to those whose residences were burned, and steps ! were being taken by local authorities ' to give relief to the 3,000 persons who : had lost their homes. Warm weather j | saved them from, suffering last night, as It did several thousand more who j moved their belongings into the streets, fearing the flames might reach their houses. Many Hist Buildings Burned The area that was burned was i chiefly on the north side of Broad l ; street, and between ihat street anil ! the Savannah river, although several I blocks on the south side of Broad street were burned. j Chief among the structures destroy- I ! ed were the following: ; Dyer building. Herald building .Masonic Temple, Chronicle building. Union Savings Bank, Augusta Truck Factory building, Commercial Club and the Y. W. C. A. building; Postal Telegraph Company, Western I'niott i Telegraph Company, John J. Evans, j wholesale and retail hardware: Tub man High School building, and ilor- : j ton Grammar School building. One Dead 5,000 Homeless in Fire Started by Boy By Associated I'ress Nashville, Tenn., March 23.—-Cltl- I nens, civic and church organizations | of Nashville to-day were caring for , 5,000 persons made homeless by the i fire that swept East Nashville late j yesterday, destroying 600 residences, causing one death and a property loss ! of $1,600,000. National Guardsmen, called out by j Governor Rye, patrolled the burned area to protect property and prevent ' looting. The one fatality was that of a negro. 1 Many other persons were injured but] I none seriously. The blaze started from a lighted j ball of yarn thrown into a grassy I vacant lot by a boy. A planing mill ! i first was destroyed. The flames quick ' ly spread to an extensive negro settle j ment, where, fanned by.a high wind, j ! every house was consumed. The con- 1 flagration then broke into two distinct j i blazes, one flowing east in seventh I street and the other down Fifth ave- I nue. An area of thirty blocks was • swept clean which included many of i the costliest residences of Nashville. 1 several churches and one charitable j j institution. After paralleling each I other in separate streets for many j blocks the two fires again joined, i The flames were finally brought tin der control when the wind subsided | and the fire had partially burned itself ; out. Relief measures were under way be- j i fore the fire had been extinguished. ] A fund was started by voluntary do- j j nations and several thousand dollars I was raised. Residences were thrown j ! open to the homeless, commercial i organizations remained open all night and churches turned their auditoriums | into sleeping quarters. The State pro | vided 500 tents and blankets. Paris Fire Sufferers Are Being Rapidly Relieved By Associated Press | Paris, Tex.. March 23.—Work of re j lieving the 8,000 persons made home- ; ! less by the fire of Tuesday night was i I carried along swiftly to-day. I-arge sums of money, raised in Paris and in cities nearby are being distributed by the relief committee. Hundreds of persons slept on lawns and in public buildings last night. Railroad stations were turned into dormitories for women and children. The death list remained at three, with one person missing. 52.->,OOO FIRE AT TAMAQUA By Associated Press Tamaqua, Pa.. March 23. Fire to day destroyed W. R. Conrad's general ! store building together with the resi | dence adjoining. The loss is estimated at $25,000. 'TAXIMETER GIVES CUSTOMER PRINTED FARE RECEIPT Arguments between cab drivers and their customers over fares charged are to be done away with by using a contrivance recently devised and now being tried out in an eastern city. Its special feature is that a printed slip is automatically delivered to the custo mer at the end of a trip. The device and its operation arc described In the Popular Mechanics Magazine. On the slip is given the straight fare, any extras that may be due, the meter number, and the dale. A duplicate record is kept inside the machine for the company's benefit. This latter isj even more complete than the former,' and gives among other things the dis tance in miles traveled while the taxi cab was hired: total distance covered by the cab whether hired or not; non revenue-earning time iri minutes, siich as time lost in repairing tires, etc., and the total fares in dollars and cents that have been collected by the driver, as well as each individual bill.

T\ENR:\SKS SOUND VOLUME Playing two or more phonographs at a time as a means for increasing sound volume has ofton been, tried, but generally with poor success. Only a slight difference in the speeds or timing of the two disks results in throwing the melody into a jarring discord, for one record soon plays far ahead of tjie other. To obviate these difficulties,' and still secure the larger volume of sound resulting from the use of two or more records at the same time, a Paris in- I ventor has devised a phonograph of a type different from the ordinary kind. All Hie records are attached to one vertical driving axis, and because of this mechanical connection, must necessarily remain in unison through out the playing of any given piece. Each disk is provided with its own needle and reproducer. All the sound goes into a common horn by means of suitable connecting arms properly pivoted at the large ends. A picture of the machine appears in the Popu lar Mechanics Magazine.
