Edgecombe on
Stand in Bleached
Flour Hearing
Omaha Mill Manager Says Bakers De-
mand White Flour-His Family
Uses Bleached Flour. ) ss

KANSAS CITY, June Elm support of
the contention that the process of bleaching
flour does not injure the product, but on
the other hand improves it, several addi-
tional witnesses testified for the millers
in the bleached flour trial in the federal
court here today.
Attorneys for the millers stated today
that probably another week would be re-
quired to introduce all their testimony.
Alva Edgecomb, manager of the Updike
mill at Omaha, testified that many of the
bakers who are patrons Of his mill demand
beached flour.
He said that impurities in flour could not
be concealed by the bleaching process and
that his own family had used beached
flour for five years. He said none of his
family had been sick as a result of eating
bread made from the flour.
The witness produced two loaves oi
bread, one Of which he said was made
from bleached flour and the other from
unbleached and when he cut them open h'
was unable to state which loaf was made
from bleached flour or which was made
from unbleached flour.
On examination an effort was made t
| induce the witness to state that his mil
was supplying financial aid to the milleri
| in this suit, but he said that he did no

France Will Pass

Must Marry Before 25.

PARIS, June PA series OF measures
designed TO stimulate. the birth rate in
France was introduced in Parliament
today.
1t includes the imposition OF additional
military service on bachelors over % years
of age; making obligatory the marriage OF
state employees who have reached the age
OF % years, with supplementary salaries
and pension allowances for those with
more than three children, and the repeal OF
the law requiring equal distribution of es-
tates among the children. The dislike OF
Frenchmen to divide their property is q
frequent cause OF restricted families, ac.
cording to those who have made a study OF
the subject.
The proposed legislation follows the pub
licaton OF vital statistics, which showed
that the births in the republic during 19O
were 10000. against $4,000 in the preceding
year and that the population has beer
increased by only 100000 since 1851.
