Thompson, Managing Director of the Ogilvie Flour Mills Co., Limited, Reviewed by Mr. William C. Edgar, Editor of the Leading Milling ~ Journal of the World, viz., The "Northwestern Miller" of Minneapolis. +The Effect of the Discussion Will be Far-Reaching and Will be a Mighty Factor in Educating the Consuming Public in the Matter of Living Well sd Yet Cheaply. BREAD, THE BEST AND CHEAPr- EST FOO In an interview published originaily in a Montreal paper and reprinted in this issue of the Northwestern Miller, Mr. F. W. Thompson, managing direc- tor of the Ogilvie Flour Mills Company, makes a strong statement in behalf of bread, when considering the much dis- cussed topic of the advanced cost of living. It Is rather convincing proof that this Increased expense Is due more to luxurioys habits than to ne- cessity when bread remains, as it Is, a comparatively neglected article of diet. If people actually felt the pinch of the increase, they would eat more bread and legs meat and other expen- sive foods. J As Mr. Thompson points out, the average family spends more In read- ing matter and amusements in two months than its entire expense for bread In /a whole year; the butter bill is actuafly double that of bread, and the milk expense nearly three times as much. / Mr. Thompson places the aver- age per capita expenditure for bread in Canada at less than three cents a day. Man can actually live by bread algne, If he really wants to do so. e government reports prove con- usively its nutritive value. It is the /hedithliest, cheapest and Dest food in the market, yet while the public is howling 'over the increased cost of Hving and Congress Is investigating the cause; while we charge the con- dition to trusts, to the tariff, to the inereased production of. gold and. to every other imaginable cause that we ean think of, we turn stubbornly away from the best and cheapest food, be- cause we have allowed ourselves to grow luxurious in choosing what we eat. We actually scorn bread, not be- cause it Is unappetizing but because it Is so cheap as to escape serious con- sideration, Both bakers and millers could vastly Incrense the consumption of their out- put at this very opportune time by calling the attention of the consum- ing public to the simple, sotind merits of bread as an article of diet. Peo- ple have overlooked the obvious ad- vantage, both to purse and stomach, of eating more bread, In their foolish devotion to more expensive foods. IViEg which Is within the grasp of every one. By eating more bread and cultivating a taste for this most whale some and nutritious food, they can very materially reduce their expenses with- out neglecting In the slightest a cheap and how good bread Is com- pared to the other foods to which they have turned. in their scorn of aim- plicity. It needs enlightenment and education, and the bakers and millers can individually do the world and themselves great service by exploit. Ing in every way possible the 'strong and economic position in which bread stands compared to any other food now offered. It is folly to contend that a man Is forced to live expensively, while the consumption of bread Is so small that three cents a day represents the aver. age expenditure per capita, Life, whole- some, vigorous, effective life can be entirely sustained, If need be, at an expenditure of only six tents a day for bread. Moreover, people would be in- finitely better off, mentally, morally, | physically and financially, If they ate | more bread and less of other foods. There are tables which graphically show the difference between the cost of bread and other commodities which | the public consumes. These should be | placed before the people without un- | necessary comment. They tell the true and simple story so plainly that even the most ignorant can understard their meaning. Millers and Bakers should, Individually and collectively, use their utmost endeavors to get these facts before the public. * In such a showing there lies the answer to the claim of increased cost of living, that Is, necessary increase. If a man will, he can emancipate him- self entirely from the thraldom of high prices' which now exhausts his en- deavor. He can do so by the simple expedient of turning to the staff of life, never purer, better or compara- tively cheaper than It is to-day, and avolding foods whick are as unneces- sary to the proper maintenance of healthy vigor as they are out of pro- portion, in their cost, as strength and muscle producers. It is the province of the millers and bakers to call back the people to their old allegiance to They need to be reminded of the very easy method of reducing. the cost of The following tahle was complied Issupd as Farmers Bulletin No. 142, In fen cents worth of different artic worth of wheat flour has twenty times the food value of ten cents worth of eggs.
