Hezel Milling Company Challenges State
ments of Constitution
About Flour.

! In Il recent Sunday issue the Atlanta
Constitution attacked editortally and
locally the manufacturers of -four, claim
ing that not barrel Of unadulterated
Hour was delivered in the South. The
largest adulterant used, said the Consti-
tuition, was corn, which was found in all
dours sold in the South, Ia more or less
quantities, while other adulterants were
also found. #....."t
One milling company has had the
temerity to challenge the statements of
the Constitution, offering $500 reward
to anybody who could prove, by chemi-
cal. analysis or otherwise, that they
used anything in manufacturing their
hour but pure wheat. The offer is
made in letter to Mr.. R. S. Allen.
merchandise broker. who has the
agency in Alabama for United States
Standard -four, manufactured by the
Hezel Milling Company, OF East St.
Louis, Ill.,, to which reference is had
above, as follows: III g..

Mr.. r. S. Allen, Birmingham:
Dear Sir: We are Just in recent of
your clipping from the Constitution.
We are glad that your authorities are
taxing hand in the great fghtagainst
the adulteration of -four and food.
But The papers charge is too sweeping
wnen they state that there Is not bar
rel OF pure flour on sale in the South.
All mlllers are not thieves or adultera-
tors. we Offer reward Of $500 to any
BODY who can prove that we ever used
anything hut pure wheat In our -four.
or mat We ever received any corn
starCh, powdered meal or any other
product to mix into -four in our mill.
All our flour is made from pure wheat
and no mixtures.
Yours truly.

Mr.. R. S. Allen has sold United

10" twelve years, and has a record Of
having sold more Of this patent -four
than any other broker or brok ers in the

know the worth Of their flour.

 As the Mayor of the city of Sacramento I extend to you the greetings of her citf- zens and bid you a hearty and cordial that your stay may be so fraught with pleasure and good-fellowship that 1t will be your desire to continue with us. lAp- plauSe.

occupied by delegates.


 The recess hours were given up to a discussion by many of the delegates of the probable time of adjournment sine die. The nomination of Henry T. Gage is accept ed as an assured fact by the most jealous friends of Pardee and Brown, and it Is made up their minds as to nominees for subordinate places Along the line of pro- posed nominations there may be sharp and exciting contests for Secretary of State and Superintendent of Public In- Struction.
 Early in the day it was thought there would be no opposition to Jacob H. Neff for Lieutenant Governor, but this evening a change of convention sentiment is noted It is feared that MT. Neff's strength is not equal to the task of per- forming the duties. of the office. A
 At 7:30 o'clock all the delegates were in their allotted places, arfd some began to manifest desire for the session to begin. Presently Chairman Neff rapped the con- vention to order and directed the secre- tary to read the list of committees ap- pointed. The committee on credentials was announced to consist of:
