ADULTERATION OF FLOUR
UNDESIRABLE PRACTICES. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright Received 7, 10 p.m. London, April 7. The Local Government Board's report upon the bleaching of flour must be regarded with considerable apprehension. Nitrogen peroxide enables the miller to transform cheaper wheats into a whiter and higher-priced article, often saving sixpence to a shilling a sack. The use of a "flour improver," often containing 60 per cent, of calcium sulphate and an appreciable amount of aTsenic, is equally undesirable. T}ie addition of powerful chemicals such as hydro-fluoric acid, phosphorus pentarohloride, and oxides and sulphides of phosphorus, is most dangerous.
