Helen turned to Anne after Frances
had left to go to Carp.
"Won't you go home with me for
dinner, dear?"
"No, I don't think X ought to,
Helen. Frances will need some one
when she comes back and I ought
to be liere."
"But not alone don't you want j
to telephone Jack to come down?"
"Jack is out of town."
"Then I'll stay."
"But, Helen, you oughtn't to, 1
really. "Warren won't like it a bit."
"Warren will have to like it
that's all there is to it. I don't
do a thing of this kind often, and
to-night there is nothing eise 1
could do and feel at all right about
it."
Anne made no other objection.
The truth of the matter was that
she hoped Helen would stay. Fran- !
c«s had unnerved her a little, and
she had no idea how she would be
when she returned. Anne was a
little bit afraid of Frances some- '
times, when she was temperamental I
and queer and hard to understand.
Frances was always different when |
she wrote.
She even admitted afterward that!
she didn't blame Anne a tilt for
hating her. Once Anne had asked
her a question when she was deep |
in thought, and she had turned on
the younger girl fiercely, blind with
sudden, uncontrolled anger. And I
yet Frances could be as gentle and
terder as the simplest woman at
times. Every one who loved her
knew that.
"I'll call up Warren," Helen said. ;
conscious that Anne was nervous. !
And she crossed over to the tele-1
phcne and sat down before the lit-1
tie table. She hardly knew what
Warren would say. She hoped that
he would take it all right, but he
was Just as apt to be disagreeable
as cot. Not for the world would she
have admitted such a thing to Anne,
however, and she gave the number
with perfect nonchalance. '
Warren himself answered.
"Hello, dear, this Is Helen. I am i
down at the apartment with Anne. J
Yes. I am going to stay down here'
for the evening. Warren. Avery At- i
wood has been hurt and Frances has
gone to him. Yes, Anne is alone and
T think I ought to be with her when
Frances comes back."
Warren Asks Questions
Warren muttered something about
not understanding why Frances was
needed In the case of an accident to
A%ery Atwood.. Helen never told 1
Warren Frances' secret, for she did
not think he would understand and
she would not have dreamed of tell
ing a confidence to Warren under!
any conditions.
"He was asking for her, dear.
They are good friends, you know." j
"Well, is Anne afraid to stay:
alone? Where's Jack?"
Helen hated to answer the last
question for fear that Anne would
feci hurt and insist upon Helen's I
leaving. Why couldn't Warren un- j
derstand just once!
Warren was plainly disagreeable
at the prospect of having dinner
nlone, and Helen, after a few more I
remarks, was forced to ring off or
else betray to Anne that Warren
thought it was all a lot of foolish-;
ness.
"Was he nice about it?" Anne
questioned. "I know he thinks I am
perfectly Idiotic to need you, Helen, I
and I feel selfish."
"Not at all. Mr. Curtis would have
been selfish not to understand. Now, j
what are we going to eat? I, for'

"There isn't a thing in the house,"
| Arne confessed; "Frances and I
! were planning to go out for dinner
to-night. Effie has been home 111
i all week and hasn't been in to
I cook for us, and we haven't enjoyed
| messing around a bit."
"Ought we to go out anywhere
i and eat?"'
"I'm afraid Frances might call up
! or something."
"Perhaps we could call up some
where and have them send In some
-1 thing hot. Is there a restaurant or
hotel anywhere near?"
"Yes, there's one around the cor
ner, we might try that. Oh!" and
Anne jumped nervously. "That's the
bell, Helen, I'll go. I wonder who
that can be ?"
I Helen followed Anne into the hall
and stepped forward eagerly when
sbo saw who It was.
"Why, Warren Curtis, I'm so glad
!to see you. However in the world
did you get here so soon? It
; hasn't been fifteen minutes."
I "Had the car outside," Warren
said briskly. "Didn't feel like having
dinner alone and thought I might be
some good down here. So here I
am."
Helen hadn't been so dellclously
happy In weeks. She glowed all
over at the thought that Warren
really needed her and had come to
her.
"We were just going to telephone
to the Elliott to see if they
wouldn't send in something to eat," |
I Anne was explaining.
"Can't you both come out soms
i where and eat? I am starving to
i death being so long without a
meal."
A Compromise
"Frances might come back and
need us," Anne explained. "I just
i hate to Inconvenience you people.
I'll tell you what to do Mr. Curtis.
Vou and Helen go out and have
I something to eat and then you might
l bring me home a sandwich or some-
I thing when you are finished. I
j wish you would really, I'll feel so
| much better about it."
"I should say not," said Warren
| stoutly. "I'll skip around the
corner and see what I can get for
the three of us. How's that?"
"Warren, that will be dear of
you." said Helen enthusiastically.
| "We'll have everything ready when
I you get back."
"All right, it won't take me a
1 minute. Gee, I quite enjoy the
prospect of dining picnic style like
this." And with a good-natured
and reassuring grin at Anne, who
I looked embarrassed and was in
; reality afraid of Warren, he was
i gone.
The two women got the table
ready and brought out dishes. War
ren came back In about ten min
utes followed by a waiter who car
ried a tray covered with mysterious
; looking covered plates.
Helen and Anne made merry over
the affair and after the waiter had
been dismissed with the order to
return in an hour, they gleefully
began to arrange the eatables on
the table.
Anne*laughed whole heartedly at
one of Warren's sallies, and Warren
insisted upon beer for all three. It
would have been a great party.
Helen though, if the shadow of
Frances' trouble had not hung too
heavily over the hearts of both Anne
and herself.
Another instalment of this inter

CHAPTER 76
Tbe Bread Inquiry of the Attorney
General of New York State, February
and March, 1915, Brought Forth the
Extraordinary Admission of the Larg
est Baking Concern in America to the
Effect That All White Bread, Unless
It Contains a Certain Added Patented
Powder, Is Worthless—The Investiga
tion of the State Resulted in the Re
duction of the e-Cent Loaf of White
Bread to 5 Cents, but It Did Not Suc
ceed in Restoring to the Devitalized
5-Cent Loaf the Priceless Elements
Which All Bread Should Contain.
The manner in which the staff of
life can be manipulated at will for
commercial purposes, not alone
through the withdrawal of elementary
substances necessary to normal nutri
tion but through the addition of sub
stances not found in any natural food.
Indicates the necessity of establishing
an official definition of the word
"bread," together with means of con
trolling its integrity.
In February and March, 1915, much
Interest was aroused concerning the
use of "plaster of Paris" in the pro
duction of the bread made by one of
the largest bakers in the United
States.
Considerable light was shed upon
the secret use of a mineral mixture
in the making of broad in Boston,
Xew York and other American cities,
when Referee Nussbaum, at the In
quiry of New York State into an al
leged conspiracy to Increase the price
of bread from five to six cents a loaf,
I on the ground that war prices made
i bread Ingredients higher, probed into
the secrets of wholesale bakers.
Prior to taking of testimony in
the bread case, at the office of Deputy
Attorney-General Alfred L. Becker,
I 299 Broadway, New York City. In
j spector James O. Jordan of the Boston
\ Board of Health made a report to
Mayor Curley, in which he asserted
that bakeries in Xew York and
i Massachusetts were making bread
! which contained calcium sulphate
o»herwise known as gpysum or piaster
lof Paris" materials used in making
plaster casts.
When questioned concerning the
truth of Inspector Jordan's report the
vice-president of the Ward Baking
Company, one of tne largest baking
j concerns of the world, admitted at the
state's hearing that such a product
j was in use, that it had been employed
for three years prior to the date of
j the state's investigation, and that it
j had been patented.
He justified its use on the ground
i that it enabled the baker to leaven
his dough before excessive fermenta
tion took place.
"Excessive fermentation" he said,
"is destructive of practically all food
1 values in the ingredients used in mod
ern baking." He argued, therefore,
that the only bread which retains any
food value is the bread that contains
this patented powder, for the reason
!that prior to its discovery all bakers'
I bread was worthless because of the
destruction of practically all of its
I food value.
Of course, such conclusions cannot
be true, however sincere the men who
I arrive at them. We have examined
l.the evidence that shows white bread
j is not a bone-builder.
| We have examined the evidence
that proves pigeons fed on white bread
such a mixture we know, notwith
; bones even to the extent of perforation
I of the skull.
We know that Volt established this
i fact as long ago as 1882.
According to the report of the Bos
ton Board of Health on the composi
tion of this "plaster of paris" powder
the samples examined contained cal
cium sulphate. 24 parts; sodium chlo
ride. 24.90 parts; ammonium Chloride,
j 11.50 parts; starch. 30 parts.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
such a mixture wo Know, nowith
standlng the statement of the vice
president of the concern that has pat
ented it, that It is not the failure of
i the baker to use ingredients of this
j kind which makes commercial white
j bread a grossly inadequate and neu
j ritis-producing food.
We have examined the evidence that
proves the miller who sifts, bolts,
| screens, and reflnes the wheat, thereby
removing the bone-bullding and
; other bio-chemlc elements from his
| product, is the man who is responsi
j ble for the denaturing of white bread.
However, the testimony taken be
fore Referee Nussbaum was not with
out its value. It placed on record the
admission of one of the most promi
nent white bread bakers In the world
that white bread Is worthless bread,
devoid of food value unless It contains
a certain chemical compound manu
factured under the direction and con
trol of certain commercial conditions.
When the people are informed that
the way to restore the food value of
white bread is to add to It a com-
I pound of gypsum or plaster of Paris,
j in amounts however small, all the ln
! dictments charged against the broken
i staff of life are unwittingly confirmed.
It may make little difference to the
man who enjoys a great variety of
foods whether his bread be impover
ished or even worthless, or whether It
: contain "plaster of Paris" or any other
| chemical addition.
The highest of high prices paid for
denatured bread means nothing to the
! well fed or to those In comfortable
i circumstances, but to the average
! American family, whose dally diet
j consists largely of bread, it means
I decay.
The poor and the rich together are
i consuming an inadequate substitute
! for wheat in the form of white flour
food, but the poor, who need all the
i honest nourishment they can get, con
sume by far the greatest quantity of
this foodless form of food.
In New York City the common peo
ple know that the European war was
merely an excuse for advancing the
price of bread to six cents. It was be
cause they cried out against this ad
vance that the attorney general of
New York State interfered.
They know that it was due to his
: interference that the price was not
only returned to five cents, but that
lone year later, February, 1916, when
j the raw materials from -which bread
is made, were bringing even higher
i prices than when the six cent rate
was arbitrarily fixed, one large con
j cern in New York City sold the same
| bread made by the same people at
four cents a loaf.
j By its clamor the public had af
fected the price of bread while re
maining in ignorance concerning its
devitalized character. Growing chil
! dren who eat bread three or four
times a day are not concerned in an
advance of one cent a loaf or in a re
duction of one cent a loaf.
They are unable for themselves to
heed the signifiance of the fact that
, chickens and other animals perish in
a period of six or seven weeks when
j fed on an exclusive diet of white
I bread.
; Their parents, who know nothing of
, physiological chemistry, have little
i conception of the meaning of bread,
i and so they cast their eyes upon the
j significance of a penny saved, and,
confining their Interest to that Issue,
j pay heavy toll to the Great Reaper
who gathers his richest harvest from
i the underfed and enfeebled children
i of the -white bread addict.
1 The bread Inquiry of the attorney
; general of New York State, through
the extraordinary admissions which it
; provoked on the part of the bakers
! themselves, shocked and for a time
confounded the entire white flour in
j dustry of the United States.
I We shall now examine the signifi
cance of those admissions.
