On the other hand, you can call it an adventure story, too. Because its one of those yams, where success and adventure are all mixed up together. Its from John R. Mills of New York City and while I dont claim it was the adventure that made a man out of Jack Mills, I do think it convinced a lot of other fellows that he was one. , Jacks New Job Was Plenty Tough. This story starts in the fall of 1927, when Jack was hired by a struc-- ; tural iron working firm as a rivet jack. And Jack sums up that job of his very neatly in two sentences. My duties, says he, were to supply four or five riveting gangs with rivets and with coal for their forges. The duties of the riveting gangs were to supply skyscrapers for New York city. But it wasnt that easy. Structural iron work is one of the hardest trades in the world to break in on. Youve got to get accustomed to walking like a cat along narrow steel girders only a few inches wide and hundreds of feet above the ground. The only way to do that is to get up there and walk those girders. There are no schools that teach a man to keep his head in a tight or dangerous spot. You cant acquire a steeplejacks courage out of a book, or learn it in some safe place on the ground. In the ironworkers' trade, Jack says, yon have to develop those iron nerves yon hear about. Even the bravest man is nervous at first, walking along those narrow beams with arms and back loaded, and not even a semblance of a hand or foot grip to catch hold of if yon lose your balance. My debut in the business was on a building that was an extra hazardous job because there was a double shift of ironworkers and that created a lot of con fusion. The ironworkers ran up a framework of steel that was far in advance eight stories at least at all times, of the concrete floorlayers who worked below. Jack was on the night shift, but somehow he couldnt feel that he Was one of the gang. It wasnt that he was afraid. It wasnt that he didnt do his work. But somehow or other the veterans on the job' made him feel like an outsider. To them he was just another rookie. They werent unfriendly to him but they werent friendly either. Things Went Haywire After Payday. Jack didnt let that bother him. He went right on doing his work and then came a night when everything went haywire! It was the night after payday and file men on the job, with hardly an exception, had been celebrating their fat pay envelopes. A lot of that stuff out of the little brown jug had been imbibed and those boys were WHAT to EAT and WHY $- By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS story of wheat flour is the story of civilization.

Experts begin by checking the quality of the grain while it is in transit to the mill. But their work does not end when the flour emerges pure white in color and unbelievably fine in texture, after having passed through silk bolting cloths of 100 mesh or finer. After that, there are baking tests, day after day, to be sure that every sack which is sold is of uniformly high quality. flour mills C. Houston Goudiss Relates the Romance of Wheat and Discusses - tests indicating an average digestibility of 96 per cent. Bread and other bakery products made from whole wheat flour also contain proteins and carbohydrates, plus good amounts of iron, copper, phosphorus and potassium; and vitamins A, B and G. The whole grain products are less completely digested than those which are highly refined, however, so some of their nutrients may be lost to the body. When the two types of flour are considered as sources of protein and energy alone, they are regarded by nutritionists as practiWhole cally interchangeable. wheat flour is conceded to be richer in minerals and vitamins, but where white bread is preferred, these elements easily can be supplied from other sources. As a matter of fact, foods made from both types of flour belong in the diet, where they add variety and splendid food values at minimum cost.

Flour should be stored in a moderately cool, dry, well ventilated place, and should be protected from vermin and insects. It should not be exposed to excessive heat, nor to freezing temperatures.
