The editor Of the Woman's Home
Companion. discussing the important
subject Of clean groceries in the Feb.

into the factory itself:
Here is one of the greatest food

space.
Here, in the cellar, You will find

Their protection of that flour. it is not
allowed to rest on the cemented 10 r
but is piled on great trays or shelves
raised several inches from III" li"Cr,

Now they are ready to mix the
cracker dough, and the great sacks of
flour are carried by elevators to ,..e
upper flour, where sack after sack
is turned into what looks like a huge
iron bath tub on rollers. men the
required quantity of flour is in tnls

rolled unuer the most wonderful spi-

of filtered water-boiling hot ice cold
and the precise temperature OF the

equally wonderful thermometer and
barometer until they are at exactly
the right temperature. Then meas
ured by meter, the water is turned
into the flour The sponge tub is
rolled over to mighty mixer, worked
by machinery. and here, for the first
time, a human hand touches it. When
the head baker thinks this sponge is

In it's approximation of the prob

cellaneous receipts. which during the
last year amounted to $277 900. Ac-
