Qualities Of White Bread A further challenge intended to show the shortcomings of white breird has been issued by Mr. Edward Julius Price, Mr. E. W. Hullett, the Wheat Research Institute’s chemist, not having taken up his challenge to a race of 40 mites. “I want, to challenge anybody in New Zealand over 50—mid that is a lot younger than I am —that 1 will live longer o« 'vater than they can on water and white bread,” he said to “The Dominion” yesterday.

Mr. Price said that, though war seemed imminent while they were at the exhibition, and they were close to the border, all the Germans went about their work normally.

Mr. and Mrs. Price were most hospitably received by the Germans.
