BLEACHED FLOUR

Des Moines, Iowa, May 10.-Judge
Smith Mcpherson in the federal court
today dismissed the petition asking
that United States District Attorney
Temple of Iowa be enjoined from seiz-
ing bleached flour shipped into Iowa
The court upholds the federal ruling
as regards bleached -four.
The decision does not state whether
or not the bleaching of flour is injuri-
Gus, holding that question is one for
jury. Discussing the enactment of
the pure food statutes the court de-
clared: These statutes were enacted
to cure evils well nigh intolerable that
had grown up during this age of greed
and avarice and commercialism that
has made money getting the prime OBJ
ject of life with so many people,"
These evils are such that foods of all
kinds and even medicine were adul-
terated as to deceive the consumer
Some states are SO disposerd to con-
done adulteration that congress, deem
ing it necessary, stepped in and passed
a pure food law under its power to
provide, for the general welfare

''If the time and talent and money
which were spent in attempting to
block legislation which was inevitable
