GOLDEN" FLOUR
Ruling of Secretary Wilson Against
Bleached Flour.

New Orleans States says: As re-
suit of the ruling of Secretary Wilson
against bleached -four, the Milling Trust
will discontinue the manufacture of it,
and i'll a short time what is known as
golden" flour. which is purer and bet
ter product. will be supplied the mar
ket 1t is only fair to say. however. that
the millers turned out bleached -four
because the people wanted it for the
same reasons of esthetic taste which
make them prefer golden butter and
other tinted articles OF food that are
pleasing to the eye.
The average American housewife has
revealed in the wilderness of the -four she
uses and how she will like the change it
is not easy to say, for up to the present
time she has held tenaciously to the idea
that -four was of very inferior quality
unless it was perfectly white, hence no
attention was paid to the declarations of
food specialists and chemists that white
flour is not only sorely lacking in nutri-
ment. but is indigestible and injurious
to the teeth.
While expert testimony is known to
differ widely on the question of white
flour being injurious to health. there is
not the least doubt that the change to
golden -four will be beneficial to con-
sumers of bread, because it appears that
i'll the manufacture of bleached -four
