at present Commissioner Hudson is
investigating the question of bleach
ing flour by the use of nitrogen per-
oxide and other chemicals, in order
to determine whether the sale of
such flour should be forbidden under
the pure food law. 1t has been held
by Secretary OF Agriculture James
Wilson that bleached flour is, under
the national pure food law, an adult
terated product, and in SO far as that
law is in force its sale is forbidden.
Mr.. Hudson says the effect of the
ruling will be largely to increase
the price of flour and he thinks
if the process is entirely harmless
the sale should not be interfered
with. He has not reached any defin-
tie conclusion, however

No Butter From MiIkweed
philadelphia North American

Il deny that butter can be made

declared Roman Hasrick, the eminent
lecturer on farm economics, his voice
quivering with passion and his eyes
blazing with anger
Il defy any person to produce a
single dab of butter that has come
from such source | will go further
than that: | will give any charity
the sum of $3.50 if the person respon-
sible for the claims about this plant
will bring me one ounce of cream
collected from the milkweed
Il ask you, Has any person here
ever heard of a biscuit made from
sour milkweed? 1t simply can't be
done. This is a serious business,
dallying with the sacred things of
science. What might be the conse-
quences if some party bent ON making
experiments would give the juice of
milkweed to an infant? Collie? Aye,
even worse!
And suppose some church society
should attempt to make ice cream out
of milkweed. Who would be res
ponsible for the resulting calamity?
Why, the near-scientist who first
