the proposed change in the law would
simply legalize adulteration. OF the
provision for mixing the product of
any other grain with wheat -four they
are particularly suspicious, as they say
it opens the way for extensive adul-
teration with corn starch.
At the hearing on the bill, DR.. Har-
yey w. Wiley pointed out that corn,
although an excellent food, cannot in
any way be considered the equal of
wheat, since its protein is not of the
kind that furnishes material for tissue
building. The introduction of starch
into -four he considers a still greater
evil, a threat to the very efficiency
and welfare of the nation" since most
persons in straitened circumstances
get too much starch already. If the
mixture is permitted, he says, there
are plenty of people who will eat it
and will suffer to just that extent in
the building up of their bodies.
Housewives agree with the millers
and bakers in wanting to see the bill
defeated, and will not be misled by the
specious advertising with which the
corn products interests are seeking to
influence public opinion.
The bill is still in committee and
will be taken up for final consideration
at an early date. In order that the

The Mixed Flour Law is part of the
Spanish War Revenue of 1898 and pro-
vides that a miller or manufacturer
who desires to sell wheat -four mixed
with the product of any other grain

ternational Revenue Bureau of the
Treasury Department, pay a tax Of
four cents a barrel in addition 10 an

annum, plainly brand each package

tiers, give the names of the ingredients
of the package and report at stated in
tervals or the volume of his business

Previous to the passage of this law
the adulteration OF -four was very
millers who would have pre-
ferred to be honest being driven by
the force of competition to mix larger
quantities OF corn starch with their
wheat flour. The percentage of adul-
teration sometimes ran as high as
fifty to sixty-ive per cent, and it was
shown at the hearings on the bill that
not only corn but mineral matter was
used as an adulterant.

FRUIT DAMAGE LESS
THAN ANTICIPATED

As the weather has moderated last
week and orchardists began to pack
out apples that we're considered badly
damaged by frost. it has been found
that the loss to Hood River growers
will fall below estimates. On the
East Side Aug. Paasch had ID, 900 box
es of fruit unpacked. Mr.. Paasch
learned that the apples are practically
uninjured. His neighbors met with
the same experience.
The cloudy and rainy weather that
followed the clear period of low tenn
perature has been ideal for thawine
out without loss the cider and Gull
stock without damage. If warm sun

the thaw to be sudden. many apples
that will now be accepted for vinegar
