A FACTOR IN HEALTH.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
By Dr. Samuel Dixon.
Uron the health of the generations
to come depends the prosperity of the
Nation. Nature made us rich with
coal, oil, lumber and fertile lands.
These natural resources are fast be-
coming exhausted. We have spent
our principal as if it was income and
the time is approaching when we
must live. on those things which we
‘produce by labor.
As the; eepnpmic ;struggle becomes
keener the strain upon the individual
grows greater. The rapid develop-
ment of our cities and the concentra-

What to Do In Emergencies.

know the proper way to releve his
pufferings? The Pennsylvania rail
read recently has taken & long step
toward preparing . its . employes far

ers of the relief department are BLY
ing lectures at every: division point,
and their work is supplemented by
the dssmance of “First Aid” packets
and pamphlets telling what to do.
when a man is hurt. Here are the di-
rections, ‘which every one should
know: ;
sEwemorrhage—Place compresses on
the bleeding part and secure firmly
withthe ~eamsbric “bandage. “If thik
fails, tle a bandage around the-Hmb
between the: peint of:
the body, and twist tightly with a
stick until bleeding stops.
:Fracture—Broken bomes: should be
treated with splints segnred dn. posi-
tion by triangular and other ban-
dages. Folded newspapers, picces of
board or anything sufficient to pre-
vent movement of the broken ends .of
benes upon each other will answer.
Burns—Do not forcibly remeve
clothing; cut the clothes away, if nec-
essary. Common baking powder, dis-
solved in water, should be used to
saturate the bandage. Don’t use oil
Preparations; they are liable to cause
infection.
Shock From Accident—Don’t give
whiskey, drugs or any other stimu-
lant; use hot coffee, hot milk and oth-
er hot drinks and blankets, hot-water
bottles, etc.
Unconsciousness—ILoosen the cloth-
ing about the neck and abdomen and
give the sick person plenty of air, lay-
Ing him upon his back in a quiet
place.
Fits—Keep the person quiet and on
his back, loosen his clothing and be
careful he does not injure himself.
Sunstroke and Exhaustion—In the
former apply ice to the head and ab-
domen, and in the latter treat as in
a8 case of shock.
In all cases those in authority are
urged to. KEEP COOL, send for the
nearest physician and avoid touching
open wounds with the hangs,

Good Bread Made
With Potato Meal
Bureau of Chemistry Tries Out Ger
man Potato Flake, and Also Makes
in Mixed Flour of Such Inexpensive
and Healthful Products as Chestnut,
Banana, Rice and Peas
Baking experiments to. test the
value of making bread of potato meal
mixed with wheat flour are now being
undertaken by the: U. 8. - department
of ‘Agriculture's Bureau of Chemistry.
This is to test-the.possibilities of the
potato-in the same manner as Ger-
many and Austria are now advising
their people to @0. The increased cast
of liying throughout the world has em-
Dhasized the fact that flour made of
Lother puibstances than wheat, \or ‘of
vthege ‘substances mixed with I ]
misht provide people with" hi
food quife ‘as nutpitfous as the pupe
‘wheat, flour, und st the same time bo
cheaper.
“Austrian shpkers are<now, compell
“by law-to.use at least 30% potato meal
An meling their\bread. ‘The Burean
ot Chemiistry’s potato mesl bread has
shaked ta/50% pe-
tato ‘menl and: r DE percent-
age «wheat. The most -satisfactory
loaves in combining esonomy and
pearance were ithose made with the
minimum percentage allowed in Aus-
tria cr less. The lgaves_.made with
more than 30%, potatos were not
30, satistBotopy as ‘they avers heavier
“and less-attraoctive inform. The bread
has a rather coarse texture and dark
appearance, but possesses a distinc-
tive and agreeable flavor. It also re-
tains meisture for a wuch longer pe-
riod than erdinary wheat bread.
The Bureau of Chemistry used the
imported potato flake in some of its
experiments, and in others meal made
by slicing, milling and drying pota-
toes on a small scale in its laborator-
ies. It should be added that such or-
dinary “potato flour” as is on our
American. markets is not the same as
the German “potato flake,” or Walz
mehl, which. has given.such. gatisfac-
tory results in the ex ents.
‘Fhe. question has been raised as te
whether the ordinary cooked potato
might not be satisfactorily substi-
tuted for the prepared potato meal.
‘The expirementers believe that it
might serve the same purposs if mused
in fust the right propoction, but: this
would be difficult for the average
housewife to determine, as there is
great danger of using too much and
rrodiiclng a very soggy loaf. How-
over, the custom of adding a very little
potato is, already used by many house-
keepers to keep their bread moist,
and this practice can very well be rec-
ommended for more general use.
Dried bananas, ripe and unripe, and
chostnuts are other substigutes for
wheat flour with which, experiments
are being made by the Bureau of
Chemistry. Still other products that
offer promise of furnishing the public
with a cheap and nutritious bread are
the fc'lowing: Bran, soy bean, white
bean, millet, kafir, nrilo, dasheen, cot-
tonseel flour, oatmeal, cassava, buck-
wheat, rye, corn gluten, kaoliang, rice
(polished and natural), peas, potato
(Irish and sweet), corn meal (whte
and yellow).
The breads made from these vari-
ous ingredients have,already been pho-
tographed and analyzed. The flours
from which the breads were made are
being analyzed, that it may be known
vexgetly. how nutritious they are “jin
Sh with the pure wheat flour.
The soy bean and cottonseed flours,
when mixed with wheat flours in
proper proportions (about 25%) give
a bread jwith. abont twice the unt
of protein (muscle-building element)
that the ordinary wheat bread con:
tains.
"The Burean of Chemistry is making
~‘hese experiments in spite of the fact
that * there is a law which makes it
difficult for manufacturers to make
mixed flour satisfactorily. This law
surrounds the manufacture of mixed
flour with so mixed flour with so many
restrictions that the business has not
become a popular one. The result is
«there.is very. little a
ant manufactured and offered for '
sale,
"The Mixed Flour Act was passed in
398, before thére was a Food and
Drugs Act, and was passed for the
purpose of raising a war revenue at
a.timeswhen many,of dhe common arti-
cles of food did not command so high
a price as now.
The tax .of four cents which is now
!'mposed on every barrel of mixed
“our is not in itself a heavy one; it
‘s.the collegtion;of it,, with the attend-
‘nt regulations and restrictions, that
‘ampers any manufacturer who would |
‘ke to make such flours.
1t should be stated in connection
ith the mixing of other materials
‘ith wheat flour in making bread that
his can not always be done econom-
cally. There -must be taken into con-
sideration the prevailing market price
>f the commodities to be used.
This article is writen primarily for
‘he purpose of bringing tu the atten-
ion of the, public. the fa’t that. in or
der to obtain. good, rutMiious and
wholesome bread it is nots.necessary
‘0 use an entirely wheat flour. ‘A mix.
ure will in many cases produce a
bread which is quite as satisfactory.

cdge it ig believed in times of over
-roduction and the consequent favor:
