Good Wheat Thoroughly Cleaned —
The Vital Essential r%
NO DOUBTo,vherCpu.rchnsing flour, you have often wondered at this
legend flaunted by all cheap flours---" Made from•Sekcted Wheat."
Certainly, the wheat was "selected "'else there would be no fbur
at all. But what sort and condition of wheat it telleth not,
Maybe it cloth not wish to carry tales out of school; relying on the
average housewife's limited milling knowledge, taking full advan-
tage of her disadvantages.

We are jealous ef Its reputation. We
are convinced there is no better
grain under the sun, none as good.

• The cleaning mid separation must
be done at the elevators, Madam.
No amount of subsequent cleaning
or " doctoring" Will entirely elimi-

Thus is the ehildhoo d of PIVE

The pure Manitoba berries are clean
at the outset and' kept clean, and when
`they, reach the Keewatin mills a
further process is relied on to polish
off any possible bad manners which
might smuggle in on the way home.
There is nevera peek, nor stain,

We will not believe, IVIadato, that

We know you will always
