NOTES on OMAR
WONDER FLOUR

There A really a great deal moys
to be said about -four than lust that
it is q white powdery substance used
in beaking bread. Housewives rea-
liza that here is a difference In -four.
when they go to the store and pav
$500 for a sack Of one kind Of flour
when hey could have got another
brand for considerably less. Just
what accounts for this difference?
Why is it that some fours bake bet
ter than others?
The first reason lies in the wheat
itself. Do youknow that there IS a
difference j n wheats grown in yari-
Gus sections of the country and even
on adjoining farms in the same our
try Even the very finest wheats,
which bring top prices in the market,
do not have combined in them all Of
the qualities necessary for making q
high grade -four. For instance, one
wheat may be excellent for bread bak-
ing, but not satisfactory at all for
cakes. Properly combined with wheat
from another locality, it will make an
excellent all-purpose -four. For this
reason, it is necessary for quality
mills to purchase and blend wheat
from various parts of the country in
order to make a perfectly balanced
flour for all purposes. Larger mills
are better equipped for this than small
mills because Of their larger storage
facilities.
Another important point in the man
ufacture Of flour is the cleaning OF
the wheat. Because of the deep
crease in the wheat berry, it il very
difficult to get the wheat free from
all dirt. The wheat is cleaned and
secured and again before it is allow
ed to be ground into flour. To clean
wheat thoroughly and to be sure no
dust is left in it, the wheat should be
washed, just as you wash your vege-
tables before you prepare them Even
after wheat has been cleaned by the
other cleaning processes in the mill,
an unbelievable amount of muck and
filth is washed out, which would other
wise have gone into the -four. Because
Of the extensive equipment required
to wash wheat, however, only a very
few mills put the wheat through this
extra operation. The Omaha Flour
mills, makers Of OMAR WONDER
FLOUR, wash the wheat which goes
into their flour, and it is this extra
sanitation and freedom from all dirt
which adds to OMAR'S fine baking
qualities.

THE STREAM AND THE SOURCE
BY r. A. ADAMS
(For The Literary Service Bureau)

Oftentimes in matters of love and
marriage young people are inclined
to scout the idea Of heredity and take
chancesLbut almost invariably they
lose.
To illustrate, there is the story of
the spring from which flowed a mud
dy stream. Investigation showed a
big old SOW bathing in the spring
causing the muddy water to flow. So
it is in life. The family is the source;
the children are the stream; and if
the source is impure the tream can
not be pure.
In the matter Of the stream the evi-
dence is in it's undisguised impurity.
In family life, the corruption is not
manifest to the anne extent. Especi-
ally do these of the stream skillfully
disguise and conceal the impurities-
but they are there.
Impurities in the water stream Of
ten are not visible, bat they are as
deadly as when f1agrantly manifest.
Heredity is a fact; a deplorable and
an inescapable fact 1T affects people
from generation to generation. 1t is
a matter of sowing by ancestry and
reaping by ~posperity. 1t is according
to the universal laws of nature, and
nature never plays favorites.
In thinking of love, of marriage, Of
family life and interests, people would
do well to remember the story of the
spring and the sow and to give to
heredity the consideration which its
operation demand.

SIGNS OF OLD G.
BY r. A. ADAMS

(For The Literary Service Bureau)
If you have banked ambitions fires,
If you're timid who once was bold,
If to new conquests naught inspires,
By this you'll know you're growing
old.
If thoughts are stagnant, in your
mind,
No more enhancing dreams unfold,
In this alone you'll surely find
Indices that you're growing old.
If you're inclined to retrospect,
And to repeat tales often told,
This disposition will reflect
The fact that you are growing old.
But if your mind isactive still,
And easily new thoughts can mold,
If virile yet, jurgment, and will,
Then know just you T not growing
old.

Asking Her Parents
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it, or is it not, still con-
Sidered good form and necessary
to be socially correct, to ask the
permission and consent of a
young lady's parents regarding
a proposal of marriage? If so,
when should this be done-be-
fore or after the proposal is
made to the young lady?
READER.
The rule of kindness and con.
Observation-Disclosures is still the
rule of manners, of good form"
Now when young man wants
to marry a young lady, it is the
natural thing that he would
wish to talk with her parents
about this, the parents who
have been so kind to her, who
have brought her up, who have
formed the girl he wishes to
marry.
He shows an entire lack not
only Of manners but Of human
decency and appreciation, If he
doesn't make this bow of court
esy and friendlineSS to her
mother and father. And if he
has any sensitiveness to other
people, he wouldn't even con.
slider omitting this fundamental
courtesy.
When the young man and the
young lady have decided on The

first possible moment, to her

thing else that may concern the

Ice Cream Soda
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
When drinking a soda at q
fountain where there are no
chairs, is it proper for one to
lean over the cup to reach the
straw or raise the cup? Which
looks less awkward?
What does one do with the
straw while eating the ice
cream with the spoon? S.
Raise the glass. It looks ex-
tremely awkward to see a per-
son leaning over to reach the
straw!
The best thing to do is to
abandon the straw, and after
eating the ice cream, drink the
rest Of the soda from the glass.
However, if we have an enthusi-
asm for strawS, we may, while
we are eating the ice cream,
hold to one side of the glass.
or, if there is a plate conven.
lent. rest the straw on the
plate.
