most inferior sub-grades of chemically
treated starch. The protein content
drops as low as 6 per cent and the resi-
due of excess added sodium runs
amazingly high.
The analysis reveals that into these
inferior, demineralized. and practically
sheer starch compounds, calcium acid
phosphate and sodium bicarbonate are
shovelled without regard to the rela-
tionship between the amount of acid
reacting leavening and the amount OF
alkaline neutralizer employed.
Field investigation shows that when
these self-rising fours remain on the
shelves of the grocers until the chem
icals in them have deteriorated they
are shipped back to their manutac-
turers so that an extra dose of phos-
phate and soda can be added.
Why No Action?
To sum up one of the wheat sins that
the wheat gamblers in the wheat pit are
no more interested in today than they
have ever been: we find that there is no
public control as a public health meas
ure from the viewpoint of human
nutrition of these artificial breadstutfs
woefully deficient in protein, containing
a ra-producing surfeit of starch
and a Misunderstanding excess CT
chemicals used for leavening purposes.
What are the governments warnings
for? Obviously not to be acted upon.
Still more obviously not to be put into
the textbooks on biology. Certainly
not to be taught to the children in the
schools. Still more certainly not to be
used as guides by the mothers of the
race in selecting foods that will give to
their growing offspring the maximum
of adequate nutrition. What, then, are
they for? To be filed away and for
gotten? Why all the education and the
millions appropriated for more?
If the manufacturers of self-rislng
fours desire to thank us for this public
exposure of the truth they may do so by
for while their love of profit
at the expense of the human family,
label themselves as parasites, volunta-
rily form leper colony and move in.

Hospital, ST. Louis, where he had
been engaged in practice for few
years.
DR.. Inman was a member of the
Methodist Church and esteemed by
his associates as a man Of fine per-
sonal and professional character. The
kindest condolences are extended.

Most people think they are familiar
with wheat. Wheat is wheat, they
will tell you. That settles that, and
no more is to be said" But much
more is to be said. The U. S. govern
ment standards divide wheat into six
classes and approximately sixty grades
About the only wheat in America
today which is not bleached with
chlorine gas, nitrous acid, or some other
chemical is the hard durum used by the
better sort of macaroni manufacturers.
A few commercial bread bakers, by
specifying that they will reject dellv-
cries of bleached flour and refuse to pay
for it, manage to get the unbleached.
Protein High in Right Grades
There is an extraordinary difference
between hard spring wheat and soft
winter wheat. The right kind of wheat
contains between II and IA per cent
protein. Much of the poorer grades
contain as low as 4 per cent protein.
War excitement doesn't discriminate
between a superior and inferior wheat.

UP to them. No questions asked. The
more buncombe distributed among
them through their children via the
textbooks on biology taught in the
schools, the more ignorant, Indifferent,
and indolent they seem to become.
Disquieting Facts
No wonder that the National Cereal
Products Laboratories 1T Washington,
D. c., under the direction of DR.. Benja-
min r. Jacobs, for many years con-
nected with the U. S, Bureau of
Chemistry, have sounded a warning
against the alarming increase in the use
of self-rising flour, of which, in the
South alone, from 100000 to 10000,
600 barrels are used annually.
Of thirty different brands pur-
chased in the open market for analysis
examination has resulted in the literally
appalling discovery that more than
three-fourths of the whole lot consists
of low grades, even the lowest grade and
