Saccharine feeds and feeding . and so-called predigested grainfoods became so great that at least halfa hundred concerns launched out in thebusiness, many without experience orknowledge of the scientific or commercialbasis upon which success in that line de-pends.

Thebest of the cereal breakfast foods, thosewhich stood the test of purity and nutri-tive quality, are still made and sold to anever increasing demand.
