The Only Food

The only wheat food that is perfectly cooked
pretty strong claim, is it not?
Steam cooked for six hourS-then thoroughly
cured-then baked at 400 degrees
1t requires 96 hours to turn wheat into Mapl.
Flake. Yet faxed food can be made in from Is to
20 hours. Let us tell you what difference that
makes in the food.
Wheat is composed largely of starch.
Starch. to be digestible, must be made soluble
The particles must be separated so the digestive
juices get to them.
You cannot digest raw starch
The onlyway to break up the granules of starch
is to apply fierce heat, and for long. That is why
wheat is faked-to get it SO thin that the heat goes
through.
In baking bread, the inside of the loaf never gets
heat enough That is why bread doesn't all digest.
That is why more will digest when It's toasted
The more starch you break up by heat, the more
food you will get. But no form of wheat food
save Mapl-Flake-is cooked that all of the wheat
becomes digestible.

A camping party that left Los Ange-

an Auburn touring car have written
back to Agent Forsythe that it is hav-
ing a delightful trip with no motor
troubles.
Instead of staying to the beaten path
the members have been making side
trips for fishing and hunting. AS the
roads are frequently through sparsely
settled districts they consider them
selves especially fortunate in having a
car that is giving. them such satisfac-
tion.

from Santa Barbara to Lompoc and
another from Lompoc to Santa Ynez,
Neither of the roads are very much
Travelled but pass through very inter-
esting territory.
Mr. Tarr has owned several motor
cars previously, some of them rated
at higher power than the Auburn, but
he writes that he never received such
satisfactory results from any of them
before.
He reports fishing as good, the party
having caught 300 trout in five days.
They will be gone for about two weeks
more before they turn back to come
home.
The party is made up of four besides
the cook and camp outfit, with zoe
pounds of baggage carried.
