and III the grave we're many arrow
heads and spear points and remnants OF

they had been warriors. A peculiar

RleAched EAH.

In conversation with a miller in a
email Dakota town not long since he
said:
Il didn't use to humbug the people
with bleached flour, but 1 a forced
to do it. About two years ago the big
mills in Minneapolis sent ont -four
testers on which Jon al place differ
ent hours side by side and see tile shades
OF colors. The merchants used them
and came and told me my flour was ont
OF date. The Minneapolis flour wa
snow white and mine was not, and the
only way to get it that way was to
bleach it. l went east To- IN yeis;p.te
l didn't want To pay a big price toI a
machine Ia iDjure the flour, but | found
1t was a necessity. The machine and
the right To use it cost 1890. 1t has a
receptacle for nitro acid. Into this
acid Is Ted slowly Il small iron rod. The
acid dissolves the iron and forms a pms =.
which is drawn by a IAN through the
Hour and b!eaches it white as snow.
There is no doubt but what many cases
OF stomach disease which people lay to
other causes is caused by bleached flour.
When people come to the mill for -four
ask them which they want, hleacbed
or unbleached and give them whichever
they want"
said: 1ilow do you do when he
stores order -four, which do you send?7
lie replied: @They never ask me and
l never ask them. | always send
blesched -four; I must do it or lose my
trade"
asked him il all the eour sold in orr
town was bleached -four, and he said
it was.
1But,' said l, "is it not because people
do not understand that it is unwhole.
some that they demand it?r
Certainly said he, but l would not
know how to go to work 10 educate
them, even il they want to know"
l asked him what would happen il he
refused t put out any bleached flour,
and he replied that he would be driven to
the wall, as his competitors all did 1t
and the people demand the white flour
de said, too, that The bakers wanted it
because it made their bread a little
lighter.
The scheme was resorted to TO freeze
out the small miller. The big millers
knew the small ones could moi, afford to
buy the machines and TINT it would
help to prohibit farmers from grinding
