The results of some interesting analyses published by Br Wallace, of Glasgow, | show in a marked manner the superiority for food purposes of coarse bread over that made of fine flour. la bran, which is the coarsest form of ground wheat, there is actually ten times more mineral matter than in the finest kind of flour. More than half of this mineral matter is phosphoric acid, which plays an important part in the formation of bone, and performs other functions in the human systems ; so that at the lowest estimate, bran is in many times a more wholesome and useful article of diet than whita flour, which is also much more expensive. It is to ba regretted that the present tendency among the working classes is to abandon coarse bread and oatmeal por* ridge for the prettier doßgh made of fine flour.
