So to quoteD r. A lonzo Taylor, of the University of Pennsylvania, Bread is our cheapest food, for it gives us one-third more caloric value at one-tenth the cost. From a dietetic point of view the use of more bread in the diet is of value it gives most calories at least cost. From an economic point of view it is imperative, for we can cut grocery bills by using an abvmdance of bread. There is no other way through which such instant result can be had. More, there is the agricultural side to be included in our study of bread, for the prosperity of our farms is largely based on the active consumption of the breadstuffs produced. Through using bread more freely, we utilize our supply of wheat and other grains; we create a more active home market, which instantly gives our great agricultural interests ready funds for next years crops. There is no question confronting us in our national life more imperative than the creation of a demand for more bread in our diet for the utilization of our breadstuffs is our bulwark against economic, industrial, agricultural and social if not national disaster.
