Washington, Jan. 9.-"It Is just to please
the eye. No good can come from making
flour white, declared Chemist Wiley Of the
department Of agriculture "You cannot

Every time I cut q loaf Of bread 1 rejoice
because instead of its having the wilderness
OF q corpse, it has that beautiful delicate
amber tint that all bread ought to have.
" Several cases are pending against
millers, and I do not betray any confidence
Of the millers when I say that the fight on
this case Is made chiefly by the men who
are selling the bleaching machinery. The
millers themselves would not fight It for q
moment II left to themselves. The bakers

"A fund OF 500, 900 I understand has been

The worst feature Of the whole affair is
that some people actually prefer the "ca-
dsvered" -four to the good kind. They
prefer the white sepulchral biscuit to the
soft sweet yellow bread.
Take a pint Of "cadered" -four, mix 1t
with branch water, throw In q pile Of in

Southern people eat tons Of molasses'
Pure molasses are likely to sour In hot
weather. Glucose never sours. Manufac-
lures mix molasses and glucose in order to
get a combination which will taste sweet
and which will not soul in warm weather.
What is glucose?
+ Glucose Is q chemical compound, half Of
which comes from Pluto's work shop and
half from starch.
Experiment: Take a test tube Of ordina-
ny size put In 1t a spoonful Of starch, cover
with concentrated sulphuric acid and boil
over an alcohol lamp. Notice the change.
What vas once starch, and acid that
would eat up a ten-penny nail, now Is a
~viscous, clear, sweetish fluid, known as
glucose.\ Some liars call 1t corn syrup but
its glucose. It will not sour, become
tainted, or swell up, it is glucose.
You know what starch is and you know
that sulphuric acid is made from fire and
birthstone with the addition Of water.
Would you imagine glucose a fit article
for daily food2 Yet the most Of our mo
lasses have more OF less glucose In them.
We need somebody tolook after us, to
look after our diet. We have been and are
still In a swift over what we drink, but no
one is exercised over what we eat. Pela-
gra, trichinae, cholera, ~dysentery, pto-
maine, indigestion, appendicitis, ect, are
caused by what we eat.
A %greenhorn once yoked himself with a
bull. The bull not liking his yoke mate
proceeded to leave the earth il possible.
The igreenhorn was much exercised in
keeping up with the splendid pace set by
the bull, and passing an acquaintance yell
ed at him, Head us dinged fools we Ore
running away. The poor public has its
head in the yoke with the bull of COM
mercialism and it Is up to some power to
head US dinged fools" we know we are
wrong and yet it is hard to get right.
We can quit eating cadavered flour at
any any rate. AS the editor of the Lam
caster News would put it, it is hard to see
how editors and niggers" are going to
dodge the glucose.
