Our importations from Italy and France have greatly increased. We now have manufacturing large quantities of vermicelli and maccaroni, but much of that made in this country is very poor stuff. Good maccaroni is made from the gluten of flour and is very nutritious. We eat too much starch. It is a mistake to suppose that the most glutenous flour is grown in Italy and Austria. The wheat from virgin soils in Minnesota contains a larger proportion of gluten than does any wheat known to the trade. American manufacturers would do well to make a specialty of maccaroni, for the demand for it is constantly growing.
