the United States produces and eats.
The specific activity with which this
article is concerned is "the milling and
baking qualities of grain for which
standards have been established under
the United States grain standards act"
Scientific milling and baking have
received the attention of corps of in
vestigators. An experimental mill and
baking laboratory have recently been
Installed at cost of $4,000. They
are quite up-to-date and by means of
them a large amount of accurate in
formation hitherto unobtainable, has
been secured.
The laboratory is really series of
laboratories. each equipped for doing
particular part of the investigational
work The wheat samples obtained for
testing purposes first pass through the
grading laboratory. where complete
mechanical analysis is made Of each
sample and a detailed record kept Of
its condition. physical characteristics.
purity and soundness. This feature of
the investigation is not the least i'm
portant, as it is through the observa
tion in this room that these investiga-
tions can be definitely connected with
practical grain grading and wheat val
uation.
After this operation Is completed the
samples pass into the hands Of the
miller, who puts them through the
cleaning machinery, where they are
handled in practically the same man
ner as In the commercial mill cleaning
department The equipment here con-
sists OF two grain separators and

ready for tempering.

ing upon its physical character. the
Judgment of the miller must be assisted
by definite information concerning the
sample. In this he has before him the
record obtained In the grading labO-
| ratory. which includes the very neces-
sary data regarding the moisture con-
tent. AS comparatively small quanti-
ties are used in the milling tests, the
addition of moisture and the control
of all conditions surrounding this
process are relatively simple.
The milling is done on a small nom
automatic testing mill consisting of
four single stands of six by six inch
rolls, three corrugated and one
smooth. The mill is so operated that
the flow of a five-break nine-reduction
roller mill, such as Is In commercial
use can be closely initiated.
Every effort is made to standardize
the conditions under which the tests
are made. In order hat the results Sc
cured may be comparable in all cases.
One innovation In this connection,
which Is considered of extreme impor-
tance, is apparatus for controlling the
humidity of the milling room. This
has proved to be very valuable adj
junct, and is distinctly new feature
as applied to work of this character.

Haphazard dosing of themselves

Such medicines relieve temporar-

cause of the constipation. bilious

cases is inability to properly digest
and eliminate the food eaten.
A safe and sensible way to insure
perfect digestion and elimination of
body poisons, thus preventing dis
ease by removing the cause, is TO
take two ounces OF "Dri-Tonic," mix
it with a quart of well water, and
drink one or two tablespoonfuls of
the agreeable mixture after each
meal.
"Dri-Tonie" is a new scientific
compound of tested remedies, used
