ing their quality, and the bleaching agent, which appears to be a poison- 

 ous substance, is left in the flour. The poisonous substance seems to be 

 left in the flour in rather small quantity. The food officials of this 

 Department, like most other food officials, believe that even small 

 amounts of a poisonous substance in human food are objectionable and 

 should not be allowed in same. 



The decision of the lower Federal Court, that condemned the bleach- 

 ing of flour, has been overruled by the Court of Appeals, and the matter 

 is now before the Supreme Court of the United States. It is to be 

 hoped that bleaching will be condemned by the Supreme Court and the 

 practice prohibited entirely. 



This Department has had letters recently from a number of the 

 largest and most prominent mills in the country, saying that they have 

 no bleaching machinery in their mills and either never had or have not 

 had since the process was condemned by the court three years ago.
