WINTER EXHIBITION.

ANOTHER large crowd. SCHOOL CHILDREN'S RECORD. JOTAL OF FOUR THOUSAND. The sixth clay of the Auckland Winter Exhibition closed last evening with attendances which showed a substantial increase over last year, yesterday's gate takings being £'lso 15s, as compared v.-ith £333 19s 6d for the corresponding day in 1926. The total gate receipts this year have been £2436 16s 6d, as against £2812 8s 9d for the six days in 1926, but it is considered that the last iotal would have been at least equalled had it not been for the* wet weather experienced this week. The ever-increasing fascination which the big exhibition has for the younger members of the community was again apparent yesterday, when 3819 children from 36 schools were admitted. This is a record for the show. There was a very large attendance in the evening and, in spite of the fire, business was very nun h as usual in the sideshow alley, the empty booths merely serving to thicken the crowd round the surviving games, which did a roaring trade. In the entertainments section pictures were screened to a capacity house. The district courts continue to attract a large number of interested folk each day. The Thames Hauraki court has several exhibits of exceptional interest, including a large basket of flowers beautifully wrought in butter. Lilies, roses, and foliage are perfectly formed and the basket itself is of the same plastic material. A large collection of gold-bearing and crystalline ores from the Thames goldfields and another of kauri gum specimens also attract a great deal of attention. Only three days of the show season remain,' the management having announced last evening that there is no possibility of the exhibition being extended. This evening a concert will be given by Mi". T. T. Garland's concert party. The soloists will be Miss Myra Monk, Miss Myrtle Burns, Miss Beryl Poulton, Mr. Hugh Woods, Mr. FrverBaisher, Mr. A Birch and Mr. A. Prentice. numerous sales made at ELECTRICAL COURT. As far as sales are concerned it is generally conceded that the value of an exhibition is not apparent during the period of the show. The benefits accrue subsequent to this period. The results to date in the Electrical Industries Court, Shed 11, Winter Show, have proved ,an exception to the rule, and the show sales made have exceeded all expectations. It must be gratifying to the promoters that such success ,is following their efforts. Incidentally it furnishes further evidence of the wonderful strides electricity is continually making. HYGIENIC BREAD-MAKING. HIGHEST QUALITY ASSURED. The experience of countless millions of pe&ple during a score of centuries has proved wheaten bread to be the standard food of civilisation, and it is an established fact that the standard of reliueinent, culture and intelligence of a people "fee"'judged by the quality of the bread they eat.

In almost every home in .New Zealand bread m some form or other is Oil the taole at every meal and in most it li the principal article oi diet. It is tij3;'efore the duty oi every housewife who has the welfare of her family at heart to seiecf, the very best and most nutritious bread obtainable, and in this respect she cannot do better man to buy Jtlansen's bread. This bread is made from only the very best quality raw materials and contains a pure whole-cream fresh milk. Mr. Hansen baked his first batch of bread only 18 months ago in a small bakehouse in liobson Street and he has since built up a reputation for quality second to none in Auckland. Such is the demand for a really good loaf that 100 sacks of flour are now required for each week's supply of bread. The new factory at 114, Dominion Road, is a model of cleanliness and is absolutely vermin-proof. A striking feature of the plant is the Artofex kneading machine — tho only one of its kind in Auckland. The machine is noiseless and absolutely oil and dustproof. The pans in which the dough is made are of heavily tinned steel and are kept as bright and clean as the proverbial new pin. Tbf dough is left in the pans to rise, thus eliminating entirely the use of wooden troughs, which, in spite of the most scrupulous cleanliness, are bound to develop cracks and corners in which stale dough, dirt and bacteria can lodge. The Artofex does not in any way resemble an ordinary dough machine, as the purpose of the kneading arms is not to tear the delicate texture of the dough, but to sirnplv keep folding over with exactly the same movement as the human hand. Mr Hansen claims his bread to be the best that money can buy and spares no effort to substantiate that claim. To those cutting lunches and sandwiches, Hansen's bread is specially recommended owing to its keeping qualities. In addition to white and brown bread Mr. Hansen specialises in a pure wholemeal loaf, which is registered under tho proprietary name of Mirvis. This is guaranteed to contain absolutely no white flour, cane sugar, artificial colouring or fats of any kind. It is made from Bvcroft's pure stoneground wholemeal, conforms with all the requirements of the Health Food Acts and, is supplied to and highly recommended l>v tho leading advocates-, of dietetic reform. Mr. Hansent obtained a greater number of prizes, including first in open class, for white bread than any other individual baker at the recent Waikato Winter Show, where competition in the bakers' '.class was exceptionally keen. This prize-whirling bread is as turned out daily at his bakehouse. Efficiency is obvious throughout Mr. Hansen's bakery not only in the manufacture, which is personally directed by the principal himself, who has had a wide experience in the trade both in New Zealand and on the Continent, but. also in the outside service. There is no d.inbt' that the Artofex machine, the sciupulous cleanliness, the highest quality of materials, combined with the scientific knowledge of fermentation. make Hansen's bread a bread of superfine quality and worthy of the prizes it has won in open competition.
