In fact, the package itself is not much
older, having been on the market only
about 90 years.
At first it had to be filled by hand
ere still of shorter history than the
improvements in the milling process,
automatic packing machines having
been on the market for only about 10
or u years In fact, the package
itself is not much older, having been
on the market only about 20 years.
AT first it had to be filled by hand
and improvements came very slowly,
until rolled oats became more of a
staple article and the demand for
package goods more distinct. Manu-
facturers of other automatic machines
took hold and finally put machines on
the market almost human in their
operation. If you take our packing
room and study it from one end to
the other, you Will wonder how it is
possible that in SO short a time such
perfection could have been accom-
plished. If you consider that this mill
puts out up to 1000 cases in "a hours,
case having Sc packages, which makes
a total of 252. 900 these not only packed
but if necessary loaded into cars ready
for shipment, and it with less help
than it would have taken a few years
ago to load. out a 1000 cases, you can
ina CINE the enormous improvements
that have taken place.
We also have gone into the round
fibre package business. When we
s1arted we only had a small capacity
and, therefore, had our tubes shipped
in. But we found that our trade in
creased SO rapidly that the cost of
shipping the tubes in became too
great. We then started to manufac-
ture them here at the plant and can
now make them for one half for what
We bought them and this does not in

they are stale, especially in warm
tirely different We are very careful
in not steaming the oats too much
so as to take away the natural fla
vor We also see to it that the oats
are not too hot and ming when
they go to the bins ready for the
package. This is one of the most i'm
portant operations in the mill. We
are prepared to treat these oats so
they will keep their flavor and sweet
ness for at least six months, or longer
than the big majority Of other oats on
the market. We have accomplished to
combine. strength, sweetness, and looks
to the utmost possibility and that is
why we say you can taste the differ
ence in National Oats" However
because our oats keep their flavor
longer than any other oats on the mar
ket, is not only due to the rolling
process and taking the steam out Of
the rolled oats before going to the
packages, but commences right in the
start in the process of milling, es-
pecially in the drying and the further
handling of the grain. It has been the
aim of the National Oats Company
from the very start, to make the best
rolled oats possible and time,
money. or effort has been spared to
accomplish this fact. The company
has had men at the head of the mills
who made milling a life study, and
who had the best experience in the
world. and where the art of milling
had been handed down for generations.
and this policy of the company has
had the result that they have the best
oats on the market today.
When we come to the packing de-
partment, the improvements are still
of shorter history than the improve
ments in the milling process, automatic

sand stone to an emery stone. Fifty
years ago the only machine they had
was the huller. The rest Of the work
| had to be done by hand. Some Of
these huIlers were driven by hand,
some by oxen, and some by water
power.
THE oats were mostly brought in by
farmers. and the miller took his toll
for the grinding. 1t was simply
ground oat meal. something similar to
the steel cut today, mostly in the shape
of our A 6. E grades. 1t was abso-
lutely necessary to make a fine oat
meal for the simple reason that no
graders existed TO make the socalled
greats, or oats with the hulls taken
off They had gradual reduction and
sifted the stock that was fine enough
through hand sleeves. Some of these
were made of horse tail hair and some
of other material, but probably no
wire sleeves We're in existence, espe-
ciauy in the smaller mills. When the
oats We're put through the huller the
first time, the miller ran them into 4
chest or box, from there he had to
put them into what we may call a
separator, which l hereby present to
you in miniature, however made up
so called separator existed. 1t was
made in basket like way out of will
lows or out of very thinly shaved
strips of wood about 1-32 Of an inch
thick and about inches wide The
miller had to take this separa tor.
holding it by the ears or handles in a
bent position resting the back of it on
his Knees, then throwing the material
up in the air and letting it come down
on this separator again. so the. heavy
material would fall down and the huIls
remain on top. Then he would shake
it from one side to the other so the
hulls would come together in thu CEN
ter of this separator. He then had a
goose wing and brushed the hulls onto
the floor. He continued this opera
ton until no hulls' We're visible and
could not brush off any more. Then
he would sift the material through
the hand sleeves and get out the stock
that was already fine enough to fall
through, and put il in a separate box
or sack, ready for the customer. After
this operation he would throw the re-
naming greats on tile huIler again and
give il another reduction and go
through the same operation as before
until all the material fell through the
sieve and the hulls were separated. AS
far as the drying process was con-
cerned, the farmers as a rule had an
oven where they baked their bread
They would put a small fire in this
oven to make the oats hot enough to
dry before they went to the mill with
it. The cleaning of the oats in those
days was about the same process as
the miller had for cleaning the hulls
out of the oats. Every farmer had a
separator had to go through the same
operation as the miller had to do after

the oats were hulled.
Later the mills, at least the larger
from the heavy product by means Of
section. The bulls and dust are re-
turned over to the feed mill where they
are ground into Oat feed. The heavy
stock is then run over milling separa-
tors which also have suction on them.
A rough separation is also made over
this machine the long unhulled oats
being separated from the greats. The
greats then pass over the great ma
chimes which is the last separation
made. The greats, or finished product,
are weighed by automatic scales and
then run over the rolls where they are
rolled into rolled oats.
The handling, especially the dry
Ing and steaming of the oats, is where
the opinions OF different millers are
divided In the extreme. However, I
can assure YOU that our grading sys-
tenn is undoubtedly the best in exist
ence. We have been accused of using
the smaller oats. We will not deny
this, but can prove that the smaller
oats are by far the sweetest and
strongest, and consequently should be
saved for milling purposes. We also
state for your information, that the
steaming and rolling process has been
questioned and here is where the big
majority Of the millers make the
greatest mistake in rolled oat milling
The largest and biggest majority OF
the millers take the oats direct from
the rolls and aim not to handle them
by any apparatus after rolled, and
throw them in n bin hot and steaming.
simply because they are afraid OF
breaking a few flakes. However, let
them send these flakes out and in four
weeks. they are stale and their sweet
ness is gone. They lose their fine
flavor and prevent many people from
eating oats for the simple reason that

The National Oats Company
Gives Insight Into Prepare
ton of Important Food.

2 The Lewis Bear Co, Pensacola, ex-
-lusive distributors for the widelyad-
vertfsed National Oats, makes kids
husky have handled this line for
many years 10 the satisfaction of their
customers. The National Oats Co, is
an entirely independent organization,
with three large mills for the manu-
racture Of National Oats, National
Corn Meal, National Hominy Grits and
other package cereals. The mills are
located at Cedar Rapids. Ia, Peoria,
H., and East St. Louis, Ill, with head
quarters and general offices at St.
Louis. Innumerable carloads of the
National products have been delivered
TO the Lewis Bear Co. and the turn
over has always been rapid, insuring
fresh stock to the consumer.
Packing of cereals in packages has
OF course greatly reduced losses of
food stuffs, and simplified the han
ding and keeping of cereals in good
condition on the pantry shelves of the
nations homes The National products
have always specialized in proper and
serviCeable packing, to insure the
keeping qualities. The National goods
are now entirely packed in what is
known as the tube" manufactured
right in the mills, and carefully
sealcd at the top and bottom, and then
co cred with a pasted label.
The goods are 5teriHZed before be-
ing packed after going through thir-
teen distinct cleaning processes, so
that it is absolutely impossible foc
any foreign substance to remain. In
the old days, weevu attack destroyed
untold quantities OF foods that were
sold in barrels ana open packages.
Just how National Oats are manu-
featured, a description OF the many
cleaning processes and the large
amount of careful effort expended i'll
assuring the public an absolutely pure
food, is contained in an interview with

Uses for Old Papers and Magazines.
 Everyone knows that it has become worth the while of housewives in av- craze circumstances to save the old newspapers, magazines and the like, and sell them to the junk man. The price paid for them is much higher than in prewar times. Before the war 50 per cent of the rags used for paper making in this country were bought in Europe and brought here. At any rate this is what the paper men tell us. These rags not being available during the war, prices of paper began to soar. It is not likely that they will get back to their prewar level for many a year. In the meantime it is worth while, be- sides being good policy, for some mem. Der of the family to save and sell old papers, magazines and rags. If chil- dren undertake this work it helps to teach them thrift and orderliness.
 Old newspapers and magazines may be used in other ways. It is said if they are immersed in water and rolled NAAAS w.t. 1ALO ti5hL UdIlS, WuCu uIlCu out these balls make excellent fuel. It takes them some time to dry and this little industry ought to prove prOfita- ble to the enterprising small boy who undertakes it. The balls are used as substitute for wood or coal, making a clean, bright fire. During the war children in the schools learned to make trench candles of old newspapers and paraffin. The papers were cut into four-inch strips and number of strips rolled tightly together into fat can- dies. These were boiled for an hour in parafin. They make a small and very hot flame and ought to prove use- full in several ways. They promise we'll to help out in kindling any sort of fire.
 Portieres made of bright-colored

magazine covers are handsome. The covers are cut in strips and these strips are sloped off to points at the ends. Then they are rolled tightly around heavy needle and dipped in clear shellac. This forms a long bead when the needle is withdrawn, and these beads are strung on tWine, with glass beads between the paper ones, or beads of wood or metal instead of glass. The beads are in many beautt. full cOlOrs and look like Venetian beads, except that they are long and pointed at the ends.
 All garbage cans should be lined with old newspapers as soon as they are emptied. This keeps them from rusting and acquiring bad odor. Bits of food and refuse from the kitchen and table should be drained of water or other liquid and wrapped in pa per before being placed i the garbage can. This is handy way in which to handle garbage in cities, where people have no chickens or pigs to feed 1t to.
 Housekeepers save themselves hard work by spreading down papers over clean floors on rainy days. The feet of the ice man usually need to be guarded against in this way and if a runner, linoleum or small rugs cover the porch or kitchen this newspaper protection will keep them good-looking much longer than they could otherwise be. Newspapers used as interlinings are said to provide much warmth ill cov- erlids and they serve this purpose tackled over the walls of sheds and Outhouses.
