ALL MILLERS
ARE NOTIFIED
That Bleaching Flour Will
Soon Be Unlawful.
Claimed That Certain Bleaching
Processes Injurious to
Consumers Health.

The agitation against bleached
flour which has held the pubic at
tention by spasms for several weeks
has again come to the front, this
time through notices sent out by Di-
rector Stovall of the Kentucky Ex-
pertinent station that bleaching must
soon stop. The millers all over the
State have received such notices.
The agitation which has resulted in
bleaching of flour was first directed
at bleaching by acid process. Users
Of the Alsop progress and similar pat
ents bel ieved that they were safe
and would in fact profit by the in
yetsigation. but DR.. Wiley thought
otherwise and has held that the cleo
trical process OF the Alsop bleachers
and all Others are injurious and must
cease. 1t is asserted that many
Kentucky mills have been putting an
inferior grade of flour on the market
which has been brought up to the
appearance of higher grade flour by
bleaching.
1t is very probable that the mil.
lers will go into the courts to fight
the enforcement OF the pure food COM
missions rulings and therefore, en-
forcement may be delayed.
The process consists of tanning air
at high pressure into the flour after
the latter come from the rollers and
this tanning process causes the cleo
trtcity in the air to act upon the nj
trogen and oxygen, making nitric
oxide.which blends with the flakes of
flour.
Tests in laboratories In Wisconsin
during the past year, are said to have
developed the fact that rabbits fed on
nitric-oxide flour died, while those
fed upon the same quantity of I'M
processed flour lived.
The matter was then taken to WASH
ington by those Interested in pure
food and an investigation was held be-
AOlC " NO1JtO CONlClalg vi <A6ll-
culture Wilson last November. A
number of flour manufacturers from
different parts OF the country were
examined. AS a rule they did not be-
lieve the bleaching process to be in
furious. They asserted that their
chemists had investigated the matter
and thought their process was safe.
They did not believe the procesesd
flour injurious to man. This was the
burden of their evidence.
1t has been reported to the national
food department. that the bleaching
process affected the value of flour in
baking. A number of bakers We're ex-
amined on this point and almost with
out exception, it is said, they claim
ed that the process was in many cases
undesirable.
Thereupon the department of pure
food ruled against the use of the
bleaching process and this ruling goes
into effect at an early date.

President George E. Ober of the Board of Health informed Mayor Buckingham this morning that he had been waited upon by President J. B. Livingstone of the Bridgeport By-Products Co., who offered to sell the plant used by the company in reducing city garbage to the city of Bridgeport for less than $50, 0,o00-'
 The mayor made 1t plain that he was willing to lend his support to any good plan that would relieve the people of the Ninth ana Twelfth -uls- tricfs from the stench nuisance. but did not warm up to the proposition to buy the plant, although he said it might be investigated

 The court in its charge indicated that a verdict for murder in the first degree was out of the question. as all of the more important witnesses. even the witnesses for the state, had said that Bissonnette was attacked, before
 attacking It was for the jury to consider whether or no. the front of Bissonnette's body touched that of Demery's when the shot was fired, which was the testimony of the &C., cused. or to consider the testimony of the two daughters of the accused that from their uncle; to consider whether or no a pistol could be raised to the position that 1t must have been to cause such a wound in such a position. as according to the testimony of the physicians. while at the same time the two men were standing close togeth- CT. or at a distance as has been brought out in the evidence. It was for the jury also to consider the fact that Demery took off his glasses and laid them on the table What signifi- canoe had this action? There was also evidence to consider that the accused always bore good reputation for be- ing a peaceful man, which went to show that such a man with such a good character could not commit crime But it Is possible that those who have always born a good reputa- tion for peacefulness could commit crime at some one time or another.
 In weighing the evidence there must not be any doubt existing in the minds of any of the jury-men regard ing any of the alleged facts. They must give their verdict according to the evidence that was before theml
 The penalty for first degree murder which is out of the question in this case Is hanging The jury may bring in verdict for murder in the second degree. The sentence in this instance is life imprisonment; or the court may bring in a verdict of manslaughter the sentence for which is from one day at the least to Is years as a maximum penalty in states prison. or a fine of $1.0OO or both. Should the jury come to a disagreement. they will be dismissed by the court, who will order a new trial.

 Few people realize where we have stood in rela ation to the garbage con- tract. The complaints come in dur ing the summer months when we most need a plant to dispose of the stuff. If we try to sue the company on its S1O,0O0 bond there is the legal side of the case which is proving that the garbage is not reduced In a sani- tary manner. If we won there would be the problem of whether we would spend large sum of money to burn the garbage, or would try some new scheme I think the city can run the present plant and run 1t right It is reducing garbage cheaper than it Is reduced in any other city I know of. I believe the matter is both pfactical and economical
