 Every housewife over forty remembers the old-fashioned grocery store where her mother bought the family food, much of it scooped out of open bins and barrels, where it was exposed to dirt and smells. The cat in the cracker barrel was no fairy tale in those days, but the flies really got first chance at everything. All this is changed now. Modern food stores are models of cleanliness Their neatly arranged counters and shelves are lined with attractive packages, cans, and bot ties of well-prepared foods.
 Not only are these processed foods clean and attractive. They also save many weary hours of kitchen labor for every housewife. Perfectly baked bread wrapped in wax paper, fresh ground coffee in cans, ready-cooked breakfast foods, mixed pancake flour, canned fruits and vegetables of every conceivable variety. A total of 125, ,000, 900 tons of pack aged and processed foods was produced in this country in 1885. A ton fos every man, woman, and child s.t4 -ge8hods
 This great change has been brought about by modern merchandising methods The demands of up-to-date merchandising reach back into the food factories and con- trol the processing and packaging. Advertis- ing is the most compelling force in the whole system, forcing manufacturers to devote every resource to giving the consumer better values in quality, safety, and convenience
 Advertising is the housewife's friend and helpmate.

Tomorrow morning 3O,0O0OOO bottles of milk will be placed on the doOrsteps of Am erican homes. The milk will be clean, pure, and safe from contamination. Special milk trains will serve the large cities, rushing the precious fluid at express speed direct from COWS to customers In no other land do con- sumers enjoy such wonderful milk distribu- tion system as we have in this country. In Europe milkmen still dip milk from their cans into the open containers of householders.
 Only generation ago, our own milk SUD- ply was insanitary and the source of much disease Bacteria in milk took staggering death toll among babies. Since then a mar velous change has come about Today the dairying industry is almost a miracle of cleanliness and rigid sanitation In the mod ern dairy, every piece of equipment is taken apart scrubbed, and completely sterilized twice every day-an eight-hour job. This scrupulous care saves the lives of thousands of babies every year.
 Besides making this important food safe for babies and grown-ups, the milk industry has conducted a widespread educational campaign through advertising, to make bet ter known the great health value of drinking milk. As a result, the public now consumes one-third more milk per capita. The use of cheese and other milk products has also been sharply increased by advertising. The dairy ing industry now provides farmers with one- fifth of their total income, and is actually the biggest industry in the United States.
 This development of the country's milk industry is an educational story 1t illustrates the progress in food merchandising, which

MARLENE DIETRICH FEATURED TONIGHT
 IN COLISEUM BILL
The Angel" Tells Story of Neglected Wife, Busy
 Mate, Then Lover

When a husband is too occupied with outside interests to give any time to his home, has his wife the right to look elsewhere for romance?
 That is the problem treated by the new Marlene Dietrich picture, Angel which opens tonight at the Coliseum Theatre. Anger was di- rected by Ernst Lubitsch and fea- lures Herbert Marshall and Melvyn Douglas in top male roles.
 Marlene Dietrich plays the wife of Herbert Marshall, who is a diplomat ,oo busy with state affairs to have time for romance. She goes off on secret trip to Paris, where she meet Melvyn Douglas, who is returning to England after long sojourn in In dia. Immediately they fall in love, and spend the one evening she has free together. She refuses to tell her name, saying that although she re- grets it, the evening must be looked upon as an incident which cannot be repeated. Douglas names her Angel" Tn spite of the appeal of Douglas, she goes back home and akes up her life with Marshall, who does not realize how unhappy she IS, and who knows nothing about the Paris trip.
 The story however does rot end here but goes to a dramatic climax
