hard fought by both sides and consumed more than five weeks. The 

 court found : 



"1. Flour bleached by the Alsop process contains added poisonous 

 and deleterious ingredients, which render the flour injurious to health. 



"2. Flour bleached by the Alsop process contains a substance known 

 as nitrites, which reduces, lowers and injuriously afi^ects the quality 

 and strength of the flour. 



"3. Flour bleached by the Alsop process is mixed, colored and stained 

 in a manner whereby damage or inferiority is concealed. 



"4. For these reasons flovir bleached by the Alsop process is adul- 

 terated within the meaning of the Food Law, and that the character 

 of the adulteration is such that no statement upon the package or label 

 will bring bleached flour within the law. 



"Practically the above decision has been reached by several courts, 

 both State and Federal, and it is not likely that these decisions will 

 be reversed by the higher courts. However, when they are confirmed 

 by the higher courts, officials will then feel absolutely sure of their 

 position, and violations will be more vigorously prosecuted." 



During the past year 310 samples of flour have been examined, 48 of 

 which were found to be more or less bleached, and 17 of the 48 sam- 

 ples were bleached to the extent of rendering their sale illegal in the 

 State, while some of them were very slightly bleached. Where the floui- 

 was heavily bleached its sale as human food was prevented. 



If the higher courts confirm the above decisions, the sale of flour 

 bleached at nil will be prohibited in this State.
