GOVERNMENT LOSES SUIT.
Supreme Court Holds "BIsached'
Flour Can Not Be Condemned.

Supreme Court Holds "Bleached''
Flour Can Not Be Condemned.
Washington, Feb. 25.-Millers and
food manufacturers generally thruout
the country won a decisive victory over
the government when the supreme
court held that federal inspectors could
not condemn under the pure food law
"bleached -four unless they proved that
the flour contained enough poisonous
ingredients added in bleaching to make
the flour injurious to health.
Officials Of the department Of aSri-
culture contended that adding any
quantity of poisonous ingredients was
in violation Of the law. They concen-
trated their efforts to have this prin-
ciple established in the bleached -four
case. because the decision will be ap-
plicable to every other proceeding in
volving an article of food claimed to
contain added poisonous or de!eterious
ingredients.
In announcing the decision. Justice
Day pointed out that the government
only complained that 1.8 parts to 1000.
600 Of a poisonous character was added
by bleaching. He held that every word
Of the pure food law prohibiting in
interstate commerce food IL it con-
tanned "any added poisonous OF other
added deleterious ingredient which may
render such article injurious to health
must be given it's true meaning.
III it can not by any possibility
when the facts are reasonably con-
sidered. injure the health OF any con-
sumer." said the Justice. such hou-
tho having small addition of poison
Gus or deleteriOus Ingredient NAV pnt
be condemned by the act"
The principle effect OF the decision
officials said. would be to require much
more expert testimony in practically
every case the government prosecutes
for violation Of the pure food law. and
consequently the winning VI a much
smaller percentage OF suits.
More Of the famous poison squads
originated by DR.. Wiley while he vas

termine the exact amount OF injurious
substances which person may eat
