Why it works: Bread and wheat match in chemistry and in kitchens. They rank in the top 10% of all ingredient pairs, and cooks put them together in 209 recipes. Both carry 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, which smells popcorn, roasted. The science ↓
Whole Wheat-meal Bread
Ingredients
Directions
Good bread has snch an important influ- ence on the health of the nation, that all interested in its welfare should use every effort to procure the general use of the whole-meal bread, which is alone worthy of being called the " staff of life."
The utilization of the whole grain would almost double our resources. Only 75 lbs. of white flour is usually obtained fr«m 100 lbs. of wheat, whilst the 25 lbs. rejected are most valuable, as they contain a large proportion of the substances which form brains, nerves, bones and teeth. One pound of whole-meal contains 119 grains of valuable mineral matter, whilst a pound of white flour only contains 49 grains. Ex- perience proves that a pound of whole wheat finely ground and made into unfer- mented bread will satisfy hunger better than two pounds of over fermented bread.
Finger Rolls. — Whip up a thin dough with a fork or spoon, sifting in wheat-meal till it becomes quite stiff. Knead well and rollout thin, leave till nearly dry, then work into a roll, i}4 in. diameter ; cut into 3 inch length, and bake in a quick oven.

THE AROMA STRAWBERRY. The Southwest a semi-monthly fruit asd fiirm paper, thirty-two large folio pp., de- votes a whole number, March 5th, 1899, to the Strawberry, calling it " a special Straw- berry number." The information it con- tains is invaloable to all who grow straw- berries either for home consumption or for market. Its illustrations are numerous. We copy one of the Aroma Strawberry one of the best new berries. It is given about its natural size and is highly spoken of.
Tju Southwest IS published at Springfield, Mo., locts. single copy and 75 cts a year. It says truly ' ' the greatest drawback now to the Strawberry indastry is the transpor- tation and distribution. Transportation companies conduct their business too mnch on the theory that they are sure to get the fruit to carry even if they take the lion's share, sometimes all, for transportation. By reason of this short sighted policy they cmtaii the output and very much retard an industry they would do well to foster." This remark applies with equal force to the peanut butter and all similar industries 1899
where the producers desire to sell as direct as possible to consumers.
