20" wakes manufacture OF Mixed
r'oU' an Unpopular Business
The bureau OF chemistry is making
thess experiments in spite of the
TACT that there is a law which makes
IT difficult for manufacturers to make
mixed flour satisfactorily This Law
surrounds the manufacture of mixed
lIour with so many restrictions that
the business has not become popu-
lar one The result is there is very
little mixed flour at present manuiac
tured and offered for sale.
ne Mixed Flouf Act was passed in
1898 before there was a food and
drug acts, and was passed Tor the
purpose OF raising a war revenue at
time wnen many of the common ar
ucles OF food did not command so
nigh price as now.
the tax OF / cents which is now i'm
posed on every barrel OF mixed flou"
is not IN itsell heavy one; it IS the
collection OF II with the attendant
regulations and restrictions that ham
pers any manufactures who would like
to make such flours
1t should be stated in connection
with the mixing OF other materials
with wheat flour in making bread
that TINS cannot always be done
