WHEAT SHOULD BE EATEN AS IT GROWS.

Each physician in this country (America) who is posted on cereal foods knows that wheat, as it grows (except the skin), contains more nutrition than any other food, either cereal, animal or vegetable. It was intended that we should eat wheat as it grows, as we do an apple or a potato, all but the skin, but there has never, recently, been known any possible means or way to make all the wheat fine ; hence the millers have given us nothing but ‘ the beautiful white flour, 1 from which the best or most nutritious part of the wheat is eliminated, or so-called ‘ graham ’ flour, a name, title, or brand which causes a multitude of sins. Most of the ‘ graham 1 flour sold in this country is nothing but a mixture of the lowest grades of white flour with bran. No physician who is posted on cereal foods and knows the merits of the entire wheat flour would advise anyone to eat ‘ grahamg flour, while every physician in this country and England, who has seen and known what it is, uses and recommends the entire wheat flour, which fact is explained by a short statement of the way it is made, viz. :

The wheat is first cleaned in the usual way, then it goes to a machine which takes off the skin or husk; then it is reduced, not ground, by the regular roller process (except purifiers/; then,.after the separation by bolting of the bran from the white flour, the brau is reduced by special machinery ; then by a system of spouting the bran and white flour is brought together and mixed in exactly the same proportion that existed in the berry. The flour is not only much more nutritious than any other, but will assimilate with the weakest stomach, because it is fine and contains all the glutteu and phosphates there are in wheat, which can be said of no other flour in the world,- It is cheaper than any other because it makes so much more bread, which is explained by the theory of porosity.—Dr. Tookeb.
