You have often heard bread termed staff of Life"
No doubt you have realized that bread is about the most COM
plete food among the familiar articles of diet. Yet you have
not viewed bread as a balanced rNtion"-and in this YOU have
been right, in the main.
Bread becomes q real "balanced ration OnLy
When made in q certain pay.
1t is true that the wheat berry combines in one unit all
the food elements required for human nourishmcnt and in their
proper proportions. But what is true of the whole berry is
not true of refined wheat flour. In eliminating the woody part
of the berry, which only cows can digest, the miller unavoid-
ably takes from the wheat its mineral salts and fat.
Not all bakers take cognizance of this important fact,
but the scientific baker has found a remedy.
Knowing that whole milk contains, in the most whole

Making bread of the best quality flour-and by adding
milk in the proper proportions-he has produced a perfect bal
anccd ration for the human being.
But there is a vast range in quality of ingredients,
even then, and vast possibilities exist for errors in processing
and baking.
This is why we wish to tell the public, in a book which
we are now preparing, the story of properly made bread.
Our story will be true, not alone of our own bakery, but
of several hundred strictly scientific and u~p-to-datc baking
plants throughout the country.
1t will not be an advertising story. 1t will be educa-

every person who reads it.
