TAX ON MIXED FLOUR.
AdulteFated Goods VIII Have to BE
So Marked.


So Marked.
Several copies of the new bill imposing
various war taxes We're received by Sa-
vannah wholesale merchants yesterday
from Congressman Lester
One of the features of the bill that is
especially interesting to wholesale and re-
tail grocers, and to the consuming public,
is that regarding adulterated, or. as ii is
called, mixed -four Since the rapid rise
in the price of wheat enormous quantities
of greatly adulterated -four have been sold
everywhere in the country. Corn flour
and corn starch have been largely used
as adulterants. 1t Is safe to say that the
proportion of flour sold containing one or
the other of these articles has been larger
than that containing only wheat. Com
plants have been very numerous, espec-
tally from bakers. The government. in
placing tax and other restrictions on
this adulteration, will not only derive a
considerable revenue, but enable the pub
lie TO know what IL is buying.
Ihe tax will be certain amount on
each BARREL cents being named original
ly, and an additional tax, it is said, on all
dealers in the adulterated goods. In ad-
dition all barrels, or other packages, con-
tanning adulterated flour must be plainly
stamped mixed -four"
The Savannah grocery jobbers are well
pleased with this provision of the new rev.
enue measure. They prefer to have the
goods they buy stamped so that neither
they nor their customers will be deceived
as to their exact character One effect
OF the law will be, it is believed, an ad-
vance in the price of pure wheat flour
unless the public shows a willingness to
take the mixed goods at their lower
prices. atlt.
