CHIEF INSPECTOR OF
FOODS IS FACETIOUS
U. S. OFFICIAL SPEAKS BEFORE
FLOUR MEMS CLUB
Shows Well Nigh Impossible Under
Pure Food Laws to Practice De-
ception in Manufacture
of Edibies

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Dr. A. L. Win
ton, chief inspector and chemist in
charge of the local government labor
atory, surprised the -four men of Chi
cago last night by explaining In detail
the various tests to which the govern
ment subjected their goods to detect
bleaching and adulteration.
He spoke before the Fluer Mems club
of Chicago at the Great Northern no.
tel. and by a number of chemicals and
stereopticon views convinced the deal
ers that it was well nigh impossible to
practice deception under the regula-
tions of the new pure food laws.
He gave to the flour men this advice:
Don't emphasize too freely that a
product is brain food; too many of us
have swollen heads already.
Don't insist on your products being
nerve foods; most Americans have
nerve enough.
Don't insist too much that they en-
rich the blood; all cereals do this, and
| hope, enrich the manufacturers.
Don't advertise superior muscle
properties; all breakfast cereals make
muscle and perhaps more than we need
in these days of trolley cars.
Don't, above all, compare your
product with bread to the dispara ge-
ment of the latter, because cereals
may come and cereals may go, but
bread goes on forever"
