MINNEAPOLIS.-By a ruling of
Secretary James Wilson of the de-
partment of agriculture white bread
is abolished in the United States of
America.
The golden bread-the kind our
mothers used to make-win be the
result of this ruling-in place of the
wheat bread our wives and sisters
make.
Beginning Monday the millers ali
over the country must stop bleaching
flour. But the bleached -four still in
stock may lawfully be disposed of
until June 9th.
There will be as much difference
between bread made from unbleached
flour and the present bleached -four
bread as there is between angel cake
and sponge cake. The flour will be
of creamy color instead of clear
white, and the bread will be light
golden in color. But there will be
no difference in flavor.
Millers think they have the laugh
on Chemist Wiley of the agricultural
department, who is responsible for
the ruling against bleaching mate
rials. They have figured it out that
sodium nitrate, the chemical most
commonly used, is so little harmful
and is used in such small quantities
that the consumption of 10000
loaves of bread baked from the
bleached flour would not kill a man
that is, the sodium nitrate
wouldn't.
Figuring further, they say that if
one began to eat bread on the day
he was born, at the rate of half a
loaf a day, and if he could retain in
his system all the sodium nitrate, he
would be 55 years of age by the time
he had consumed his harmful share
of nitrate.
But Chemist Wiley gets back the
laugh with the admission that the
materials are not in them
selves very harmful, but that the OBJ
ject of the ruling is to make the
flour look natural
Evidence taken at the bleaching
hearings brought out the fact that
makes a flour almost as white as the !

Man Who Could Not Be Hanged"
Takes to Himself a Bride.
John Lee, who was sentenced to
death in 1884 for the Babcombe
murder, was married recently at
Newton Abbott to Miss Jessie Au-
gusta Bulled.
Lee, who was released from prison
a year ago after serving % years, is
now "A years old, and the bride is
80. After the ceremony, which was
performed at the Congregational
Church, the couple started for Bris-
tol on their honeymoon. 1t is said
that they intend taking a business
at Durham or York.
Lee was known throughout the
district as ''the man they could not
hang" He was placed on the gal
lows three times, and each time the
drop refused to work. This gave
rise to a superstitious belief in his
innocence, and earned him commu-
tatiOn of his sentence to imprison-
ment for life. Sir William Harcourt
who was then home secretary, said
that it would shock the feelings Of
every one if a man had four times
to bear the pangs of imminent death.

WHITE BREAD ABOLISHED
IN UNCLE SANS DOMAIN

bleached product. The first run of
the mill, likewise, is whittier than the
later run. On the other hand, the
wheat grown in the latitude Of st.
Louis and in the more southern
states makes a yellow -four.
Likewise it was brought out that
the flour made from the durum, or
so-called macarOni wheat, requires
bleaching before it is mixed with the
ordinary variety. AS the durum
wheat is about 20 cents cheaper a
bushel it is clear why the millers
the wheat grown in the northwest
like to bleach and mix this product.
The millers will continue bleach
ing -four intended for the export
trade. Foreigners are accustomed to
the nice white appearance of the
bleached flour and will demand it.
There has been protest IN England
against American flour, the complaint
being that inferior grades of wheat
and even whole wheat were being
worked into flour that, by the bleach
ing process, was made to appear as
of highest grade.
It has been calculated that wheat
flour bread and crackers, pastry and
similar products constitute 10 per
cent. of the total food of the average
American family.
Digestion experiments with healthy
men have shown that the fine -four
bread is more digestible than the
breads made from the whole grain.

A gentleman who was ship
ping his goods into Paonia from
point in Iowa preparatory to
settling here recently arrived in
Grand Junction after an unevent-
full journey. Immediately upon
arriving at that place, however,
the monotony of his trip was
rudely shattered by his finding
out that the car which he had
hired and brought from Iowa
had been made ready to start for
California on the next train--the
jealous Grand Junctionites refus-
ing to believe that there was such
a town on the map of Colorado
as Paonia. The gentleman had
hard time persuading the people
there that he had no desire to see
CALIFORNIA; wonders but was wist-
full to mingle with the fine climate
and see the fertile land of the
home of the peach and the big
red apple-Paonia. At last he
prevailed and is now settled
amongst US. We are sorry that
the people of Grand Junction
prefer a map which shows only
their town and we sincerely hope
that the coming census will show
a much lower percentage of illit-
eracy than their acts would seem
to warrant.

We notice that Golfers Weekly
devoted page recently to pho
tographs of the way in which the
western railways are compelled
to fight snow in the western
states. This year has been one
of the worst the roads have ever
had and the way in which they
have handled the snow shows how
thoroughly organized they are.
When it is shown that one of the
principal towns in Colorado-a
city of some ten thousand people
was cut off from train service
for sixteen days this winter one
can understand the magnitude of
the difficulties under which the
railroads work.

Job printing is of two kinds-it

Job printing is of two kinds-it
is either good or bad. Poor work
is something no merchant should
allow to 60 from his store in the
printing line. If his printing is
below standard it detracts from
what he is saying in his letter.
No one likes to open a letter and
see the letterhead when it is not
neat, attractive and concise. A
letterhead. billhead. a card or
any other sample of business
printing should show neat type
well blended. use of color which
will not offend the eye and an
arrangement of the words which
will quietly emphasize the inn
portant part of the subject matter
Large, heavy type on letterhead
is out of place-it properly be-
longs to a poster or dodger and
good printers only use on jobs in
which the reader will see it from
distance. The Newspaper al
ways has competent printer in
charge of its job room and we
know that we can please you with
