Sanforizing: a new process that stops cotton shrinking
A new invention called Sanforizing eliminates wash shrinkage in cotton fabrics. It stretches the cloth sideways before finishing, preventing endwise shrinkage, and after repeated washings garments such as dresses shirts and trousers maintain a permanent fit. The method gains rapid adoption by finishers and is likened in importance to mercerizing.

Diet Advice Warns Against Excessive Meat And Refined Foods
The text warns that excess sweets and starches threaten malnutrition in children and that too much meat risks excess protein and toxic digestion byproducts. It notes that fat and carbohydrate overconsumption can be stored as fat, suggests moderation in meat, and argues against the notion that specific foods uniquely nourish particular parts of the body. It also highlights mineral loss in refined foods, the value of natural package foods, and differences in digestibility between meat and plant proteins. Milk is cited as easily digested, while meat’s cellular structure hinders digestion, with cooking affecting outcomes.
Use Cheap Wheat In Rations For Poultry
County Agent B L Coleman advises using cheap wheat in poultry rations when prices fall. Replace expensive ingredients with wheat, up to half the grain allowance, with 100 pounds each of corn and wheat enough for both old and young stock. A larger ration uses 200 pounds of ground wheat and 100 of corn, plus bran, oats, meat scrap, and salt for a richer protein mix.
