One day the president Of the
Brooks Barley Company IN
vited a friend to inspect his
factory with him, where the
famous infant food, Brooks
Baby Barley is made. They
went from department to de-
partment watching barley in
the process of grading and re-
fning, mixing, testing and
packing-noting the marvellous
machinery and the skill which
made the product so hygeni-
cally and scientifically correct.
What impressed you most:"
asked the president of his
guest.
TO tell the truth, it was
the extraordinary beauty of
all the girls employed" the
guest replied. Il never saw
anything like their complex
ions-so natural, blooming
and unblemished."
The astonished president
realized that a great discovery
had been made, that the fine
thin barley dust in the air
had converted his factory
workers into extraordinary
beauties. Experiments were
Immediately begun with barley
as the base for face powders
and complexion lotions. They
have resulted in success be-

CEMENT PLANTS In 20
STATES

Cement in this country is. manu-
featured at approximately 100 active
plants throughout the country.
These plants are located in 20
different states, from New York to
California and from Georgia to
Oregon,
The number of different plants in
each of these states ranges from one
20 eighteen.
Each of the cement companies
operates entirely Independent of,
and in active competition with,
every other company. Each Ameri-
can manufacturer maintains his
own selling force and markets his
product directly through a clientele
Of building supply dealers.
These dealers, located in practi-
ally every community of any size
and Importance, constitute wide
market throughout the United
States where cement can be bought
by consumers with the additional
cost Of only one handling between
manufacturer and ultimate user of
the product. In many intances
there is no handling as the car is
shipped direct to the consumer.
in general the price of cement at
any place in the United States is the
price at the nearest mill to that
place plus whatever charges there
are for actual transportation from
the nearest mill to that point.
This fact is, of real Importance to
users OF cement for two reasons:
First, because freight charges, on
account of the bulk and weight of
the commodity itself, amount to
about 20 per cent of the retail price,
and,
Second, because Portland cement
in this country is absolutely stand
ardized as to quality. No manu-
facturer commands on account of
quality, a higher price for his brand
than the price of any other brand.

Economic problems concerning the

Red Cross Fighting.
First Aid Battle :
TO Conserve Life

Reliable records establish the fact
that more than $4,000 accidental
deaths occur every year in the United
States. The records show that 206
American citizens are killed every

to automobiles. 35 to falls. 10 to

Facing such distressing sacrifice Of
life is the First Aid Service of the
American Red Cross. fighting through
education and demonstration to instill
a consciousness OF safety in the public
mind and teaching approved methods
which assure that competent hands
will care for injured persons until the

serious accidents and saves many
precious lites. ~

The Hub of
The Problem

Costs are placed in new light
by the whole project of farm cleo
trifcation. Why is it, many farm
ers have asked, that it costs more
to supply electric service to rural
districts than to city homes?
+ Here is the answer, as summed
up by Prof. E. A. Stewart, of the
University of Minnesota, project
director of the Red Wing expert
mental line:
1. In rural districts the custom
er thus far has used materially
less electricity per month than has
the city customer.
2. In the country the average
is three customers to the mile,
whereas in the city there are from
80 to 200 to the mile.
8. The cost of distributing cleo
tricity is everywhere greater than
the cost of generating it, in city
and country both.
4. If electricity could be gener-
ated for nothing the problem Of
economically supplying it to farms
would remain unaltered.
