WHITE OR BROWN?
TO mi EDITOR. Sir, —My attention has been drawn to the remarks inado by LV. Wilkins when addressing ■ the Wellington Education Board on the matter of school .children's health. The doctor is reported to have said that "tho sausage-makers would not take it," meaning brown bread. Now, sir, that statement has apparently been made for the purpose of restricting o<: dropping out altogether the baking of brown bread. Perhaps the millers and ,bakers do not seriously favour it in large quantities, for I can assure you that the aa-usage-makers are not averse to brown bread; the contention that brown absorbs more water than white is too silly for argument. I have known the sausage trade for many years, and never hiwe I seen brown bread refused. Surely the doctor's informants have a greater appreciation of the public's intelligence than, to suppose that they (the public) are. going to have foisted upon them bread pudding in casings under tlie guise of sausages. It seems to me that the master bakers and millers are following the advice of a noted luminary of the law, who advised a junior, when having "no case, to abuse the other side."— I am, etc., ONLY ONE SAUSAGE-MAKER. 21st July.
