...thrown away. In the manufacture of starch, the corn is first "soaked" or "steeped" in a dilute sulphurous acid water for approximately 36 hours. This soaking removes the soluble mineral matter, gums, dextrins, sugars and proteins to make "steep water." The germ is next removed, and expressed for oil. Hull and fibre are then separated, leaving corn "gluten," and starch, which are separated by flotation. The corn "gluten" which contains approximately 30% unremoved starch, is combined with the hull, fibre and steep water to make a product - corn gluten feed, which is sold to the dairy industry. For each bushel...
Friends & Foes. Untraveled Alf Landon has no such multitude of friends throughout the land as Franklin Roosevelt had cultivated before 1932. By the same token, he has few enemies. Candidate Herbert Hoover is reputed to have privately called Candidate Landon "wishy-washy" and "smeared with oil." Candidate Frank Knox has publicly declared Alf Landon a man after his own mind, whom he would gladly support in a Presidential campaign. Candidate William E. Borah last week announced: "If Mr. Knox or Mr. Landon comes to the Cleveland convention with a fair expression of the public that he is their choice...
...well-to-do independent oil producer, Alf Landon belonged to Phi Gamma Delta at University of Kansas in 1904-08.

In that arduous and risky line-by enterprise, hard work, fair dealing and stiff bargaining-he made a fortune which is now estimated at from $250,000 to $2,000,000, invested chiefly in some 100 Kansas and Oklahoma wells he still owns. He also, in his comings & goings in search of oil, made friends all over Kansas. Shortly after his first wife died in 1918, Alf Landon volunteered for Army Service, was called...
...buffalo meat. Hunters eat seal, walrus and whale meat. The Eskimo "has some carbohydrates for approximately two months in the year, in the form of blueberries. He also relishes the stomach contents of the caribou which, throughout the year, contain carbohydrates. . . . The stomach contents are often eaten with seal oil-a salad! When an Eskimo catches a walrus he immediately opens the stomach and eats all of the clams. . . . The Eskimos eat the livers of practically all animals, except that of the white bear. . . . Only when in need does he consume very large quantities of fat. Blubber is not regarded...
