A New Tanning Material.
Another important invention by the German Wye Trust (1.G. Farbenindustrie) has been much discussed on the Frankfurt Bourse. The German company is said to have discovered and developed a synthetic tanning material, which is expected to revolutionize the worldwmarkets. It is said that the new invention will do away with the need for importing expensive vegetable products from which tan- ning materials are mostly derived, and which are chiefly responsible for the continuous rise in the price of leather during recent years.” Az soon as the new synthetic product" can be turned out in large quanti- ties, it is stated, Germany will be- come the biggest exporting country for tanning materials, and a re- duction in the price of leather may result.

The following is the conclusion of the investigations:-" In advocat ing whole-meal bread for general use, whether in times of need or in times of plenty, it should be re- membered that not only men but.. also women and children are con- cerned, and that all the experiments. on which the arguments are based have been carried out on animals: o adult males. Children are very intolerant of high cellulose diets. and, for some, brown bread is far too irritating," even "if given with the idea of relieving constipation. Appetite is such an important fac- tor in all digestive considerations that no one who dislikes a food of unproved value should be forced to eat it if it can be avoided. In time of peace, of course, the grown up population, if they have the choice, will never eat whole-meal bread unless they like it, no matter how specious the advertisement, but they may force their children to eat it in the belief that they are doing them good. One should therefore be cautious in advising whole-meal- bread generally, and wait unti careful unbiased experiments have Leen done on a suficient zumber of men, women, and children. Thus aly can accurate conclusions be drawn."
