but thank God that l have lived as
long as have, and am glad to see the
Stars and Stripes floating over our grand

flour. We make three kinds of bread for
the soldiers-white, graham and rye. So
much bread 10 used that whole car loads
of flour have to be kept in reserve. Every
three months there Is test of several
kinds OF flour, with experimental baking
in order to choose the best"
