Vigorous support for the con tention of Sir William Arbuthnot Lane, the dietetic specialist, who in articles in the Daily Mail has shown the advantages of whole- meal bread over white as.amaid to health, is contained in the August issue of the Vegetarian News, the monthly publication of the London Vegetarian Society, in an article by Dr. Bertrand F.
