Bread and Butter.

Hall in his Journal of Health, gives the following bit of wisdom: “Bread and butter are the only articles of food ot which we never tire from early childhood to extreme old age. A pound of fine flour or Indian meal contains three times is much meat as one pound of butcher’s roast beef; and if tbe whole product of the grain, braa and all, were made into bread, fifteen per cent, more of nutriment would be added. Unfortunately the bran, the coarsest part of which gives soundness to the teeth and strength ro the brain, is generally excluded Five hundred pounds of fluur give to the body thirty pounds of the bony aliment, while the same quantity of bran gives more than 125 ponnds. This bone is lime, the phosphate of lime, the indispensable aliment of health to the whole human bedy, from the want of which multitudes of persons go into a general decline.
