either.
l was talking to some fellows at the
Exchange the other day and learned
something about the work that is
being done to cup" the uses for grain
products these days. Who knows?
Perhaps army Chow" will be as
delicious as mothers cooking. The
Food and Container Institute of the
Army's Quartermaster Corps, tells
us that canned bread has been pro-
duced successfully on commercial
basis, and is being developed for
Army use in combat. The biggest
problem that presents itself in the
development of this product is to in
crease the length of time it can be
stored without deterioration. Pound
and fruit cakes packed in cans have
been successfully produced for COM
bat purposes. But layer cake, the
first love of man, is still in the de-
VeIopment stage. A considerable
variety of ready to eat cereals have
been developed. These cereals con-
tain: non-fat dry milk solids, a
stable fat ingredient and sugar.
Addition of hot or cold water is all
that is needed to put this product
on the table, ready to eat.
Did you know that the grading of
grain is always done by a disinter-
ested party-the Minnesota State In
spection Department? When a car
OF grain arrives at the market, the
railroad notifies the State Inspection
Department. A sampler is sent to
the car; he breaks the seal and takes
a sample of grain. This is then sent
to the State Inspection Laboratory
located on the second floor of the
Flour Exchange Building. There, a
licensed inspector of the United
States Department of Agriculture ex-
amlnes the grain by established pro-
cedure and with aid of mechani-
cal equipment. He establishes the
grade and issues a certificate to the
company that will sell the grain.
The certificate contains information
as to dockage, moisture, foreign
matter, ETC., which helps to de-
termlne the grade. All samples are
held as hours after they have been
graded to allow companies to call
Tor relnSpection if they desire.
HERE ARE SOME OF the pr0f's
suggestions for sleeping comfort;
start reading before getting into
pea, good hot tub soaking will
nelp. Sleeping room temperature
should be between 81 and 81 degrees.
Don't flight your bed clothes
sleep on correctly and carefully
made bed. Avoid tightly woven
blankets, and have a good spring
and good mattress. Servicemen
during the war thought it sissified
10 wear pajamas, but that's over
now. Even men stationed in Korea
write in for them. Good Sleeping to
you!
