curing the specialized training for
which there is no provision in the
great majority of hospital training
schools. The training thus con-
-emplated will supply long felt
want in the Pacific Northwest for
a training center for public health
work.
The Course provides for eleven
weeks of residence study and in
Struction in addition to which field
work will be taken with the cooper
ating agencies.

WHAT'S WHEAT?

A kernel of wheat has three
parts, according to bulletin of the
u. S. Food Administration.
/. The outer covering, or bran,
made up of several layers, from
which is obtained the bran, shorts
and middlings. This is rich in
important mineral salts, but is large
ly cellulose.
2. The germ, the small part of
the seed from which the new plant
develops. This is where the great
est amount of fat is stored.
8. The endosperm, the largest
part of the kernel. 1t contains
nourishment used by the plant as
it begins to devolp. This is most
y starch with protein and some
mineral salts and little fat.
Graham flour is made from the en-
ire wheat kernel without removing
NY part. This process gives a
lark flour.
Whole wheat flour is made from
he wheat kernel with only small
portion of the coarest bran removed.
This also gives a dark flour
White flour is made of wheat by
a process of grinding and sitting,
which removes the outer covering
and germ. The resultant flour per
mits of longer storage than flours
from which the outer covering and
germ are not removed.
The terms Graham" and whole
Wheat" flour are often used inter
changeably. Graham flour as now
milled under the rules of the United
States Food Administration contains
"a per cent white flour and 20 per
cent of bran, shorts and middlings.
The white flour now on sale is
what is known as 100 per cent mill
ing of "a per cent extraction" that
is, "a per cent of the wheat kernel
is extracted and such extraction is
then all used to make flour. This
flour contains most of the endos-
perm and practically none of either
the outer covering or the germ
Thus "a per cent of the wheat kerr
mel is made into straight flour
which is the standard grade of the
| Food Administration
Before the war, in some cases
white flour was made by a 70 pei
cent milling of 10 per cent extrac.
ton, that is, 20 per cent of the wheat
milled so that only 70 per cent OF
such extraction was left for what
is known as patent flour. A
patent flour" represents the whitest
portion of the endosperm milled t.
an even and extreme fineness. By
that process only about 40 per cen
of the wheat kernel was made int
the particular kind of patent floul
desired. The balance of the 20 pc
cent extraction of the wheat kerne
was used to make lower grades O
flour, and brans, shorts and mid
dlings.
The following preparations con
tain wheat: Macaroni, Noodles
Spaghetti, and the many whea
breakfast foods sold under variou
names.
The above information is given GU
by the state food administration.

EXCESS PROFIT
TAX ARRANGED
Regulations Are Issued for
Guidance of Business
Men in Figuring.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 4.-The bu-
reau OF internal revenue has made
public regulations for administering
the excess profits tax law Invested
capital. a percentage Of which may be
taken from aggregate profits before
determining the taxable amount, is
defined as the total of capital, sur
plus and undivided profits, with GER
tain adjustments required by law. II
any change in invested capital has
occurred during the year. the monthly
average is to be taken.
If true surplus or undivided profits
are not shown on the books because of
f2ilure to provide for depreciation. de-
pletion, Obsolescence OF other losses.
,he regulations make it mandatory to
figure corrections and thus reduce the
capital figure
On the other hand It is permitted
to add to the surplus account pen
ditures in the past for extensions OF
the plant or equipment still in use
II the expenditures have been charged
as current expense
One Of the most disputed points has
related to the valuation OF trade
marks good will, patents or copy
rights, most businesses arguing for
inclusion Of these at a high figure in
their capital investment. The regula-
tons provide, however, that only in
cases where actual payment has been
made for these items can the expense
be added to the invested capital total
No adjustment is allowed either. for
expenses paid for good Will or other
intangible assets.
The eight per cent tax on profits
over $4,000 for taxpayers having only
a nominal capital is held TO apply 10
professional men, or to trades or bus
