Arrange 30 Exhibits

Phillip Kraft, bakery owner, explained that the wheat germ is now left in the flour through a special process discovered by a St. Louis milling firm. The flour with the wheat germ, he said, contained the B vitamins which nourishes the blood and nerve systems. “For years,” he said, “the wheat germ was left out of flour by the millers because of an objectionable oil which caused the flour come rancid when period of time,
