Being a catarrh former, and catarrh being a disease producer, in tire interests o f the health of all people a standard loaf should be supplied in its place. Judging from the different health foods on the market, it should not be difficult to produce a standard brand of flour. There is always a plentiful supply of white bread, but never enough wholemeal to meet the demand. This has been well proved. If we are to win this war we will need all the health possible. It is no use treating symptoms. We must get right to the cause. Half-measures never cured anything.—M. PORTER.
