Haven’t you found this to be trus--that one batch of flour will
give you certain resulis but that the next time you bought. the-

same brand your results would be quite different.

Now, the

’ big flour companies employ chemists to see that their flours

are kept

t to a constant standard. Drags, like flours, may be

thoroughly pure but of a variable standard. Think what "his
