BREAD TO CORN BREAD.
Educational Campaign WOuid Help Fed
crai Pure Food LAW.

Representative Rainoy IS tryinE to per-
suadr Congress To- permit mixing corn
meal or corn starch with wheat flour to
lower the cos, ui bread. Sucn measure
would drive the provcrbial coach and
four through the federal pure food law
AdulteTatcd wheat -four would be sold as
straight wheat flour and few bakers
would mark their white bread as CON
tanning corn starch.
No reason for such II law exists Corn
bread is wholesome. highly nutritious and
palatable and should be sold for what il
is. II is not necessary to put mixed flour
on the market. Any cook or baker can
mix corn meal or corn starch with wheat
-four in any desired proportions In the
best hotels and restaurants the demand
for corn mullins, etc, is large and some
of the most famous eating places in New
York specialize in them.
II would be detrimental to the inter
ests of corn growers to permit corn meal
and starch to be used as AN adultcrant
of wheat flour. They should be sold on
their merits. as they nave been in the
past. An education campaign might in
duce foreigners who are not used 10 corn
to eat more corn bread. Retail bake
shops do not sell corn mullins and bread
as freely as they might because they
