Pure Food Commission Forbids Use Of

New York, Oct. 3.-Unless the Unit

changes it's mind the people of the
United States will soon be using gran.
ulated and other sugars that have a
distinctly yellowish tinge. The com
mission has declared that no mineral
blueing substance be used in bleaching
sugars. Sugar chemists say they use
four pounds of mineral blueing sub
stance to every 100000 pounds OF
sugar for bleaching purposes.
This, the sugar chemists say, is not
adulteration; that it is merely purifca
ton by a thoroughly healthful process
The pure food commission cannot sec
1t in that light and insists that the
whitening process be abandoned.

many honest contractors who really
want TO do exactly what the plans and

cannot watch all the little details as
the building progresses. Besides this,
they are but human and are anxious
to see the work advance as rapidly as
possible. If they get the idea that
it is satisfactory to the owner they are
not likely to spend their time or
