AN IMPORTANT DECISION BY
THEUNITED STATES COMMIS-
SIONER OF AGRICULTURE
ON BLEACHING FLOUR.

Dr. Wiley the United states Chemist, after hav-
ing analyzed samples of bleached flour from all
parts of the country found by careful analysis that
flour bleached by the Electrical process an
adulteration under the Pure Food Law, and Sec.
Wilson, Com'r. of Agriculture has so ruled. All
mills using the Electrical method of bleaching flour
have been notified to discontinue the practice That
on and after June q 1909, heavy penalty will be
imposed on any one selling or offering for sale
beached flour.
Prof Ladd Comr of Agriculture of North
Dakota in his investigation and analysis of bleached
flour found traces of poison and in his experiments
in feeding rabbits, bread made from flour heavily
beached, it killed them like strichnine.
Mills and Flour dealers whoare stocked up heav
ily on this bleached flour will endeavor to dump
same on the market at any old price between now
and June 2nd. Flour buyers should keep their eyes
open and not get caught.
For the information of the public we will state
that flour in its natural, and wholesome state has
a creamy tint while flour bleached by the Electri.
cal process has dead chalky appearance.
After officials of our government, having ana
lyzed bleached flour, and for the protection of its
citizens decided it to be an aduteratlon and unsafe
to be used then why should anyone jeopOrdize
his health by the use of same in order to save few
pennies?
For the information of their customers and to
all whom i. may concern, the Marion Milling Co.,
states that they have never had beacher in its mill
Hence they positively guarantee their flour not
beached and to be as pure and wholesome as flour
can be made and the quality as high as any in the
country.
They also desire to thank all the people of our
town and county for their loyal support and pat
ronage they have given them in the past and it
shall be their earnest endeaver by honest methods
and fair dealing to continue merit their patronage
confidence and good WILL Again thanking you,
We are Your Friends,
