Mr. KELLY. Some of these experts in nutrition yesterday said it would; but I know there is not as much gluten in the mixed flour as in the pure wheat flour. They say that is the tissue-building part.

Mr. FORDNEY. Therefore the man who eats it does not get as much good from the cheaper flour as he would from the pure wheat flour? Mr. KELLY. I should say not.

Mr. RAINEY. Neither does he pay as much for it.

Mr. KELLY. No; but he did at one time, because he paid for it the price of straight flour.

Mr. RAINEY. Do these Minneapolis mills send any of their product down into your country?

Mr. KELLY. Yes; the Minneapolis people sell flour everywhere. Mr. RAINEY. And do they sell it cheaper than yours?

Mr. KELLY. They do not manufacture our kind of flour. We make high-grade soft-wheat flour, and they make spring-wheat flour. Mr. RAINEY. You do not compete with them?

Mr. KELLY. No, sir. They sell to bakers and we sell to people who do their own baking. I mean, our flour is used by people who do their own baking.

Mr. RAINEY. They sell to the commercial bakers?

Mr. KELLY. Yes, sir; to the bakers. I do not believe they can make biscuits out of spring-wheat flour.

Mr. LANNEN. I should like to ask in regard to that picture-if the side that has the picture of the girl on it does not contain the principal label on the package?

Mr. KELLY. I think every man can form his own opinion on that. The Government has one side of the sack and we have the other. Mr. FORDNEY. My friend, the girl is the principal side to everything. [Laughter.]

Mr. LANNEN. The side that is exposed to the consumer, which lies upward on the shelf, is the one that has the picture of the Chinese or Japanese girl on it; is that correct?

Mr. KELLY. I do not know. I have never seen it piled outside of our plant.

Mr. RAINEY. You put on the flour the legend necessary to comply with all pure food laws?

Mr. KELLY. I guess it does that.

Mr. RAINEY. And you put the same thing, meeting the same requirements, on the other packages of straight wheat flour?

Mr. KELLY. No, sir. We did formerly, but the department told us not to, and we quit it. We always obey the law down there.

Mr. RAINEY. You used that psychological brand that we all use at that time. Do you think it would take more inspectors to enforce the food laws as they apply to flour with the wheat and corn flour mixed than if straight wheat flour is sold?

Mr. KELLY. It depends on how you do the inspection. If you do it under the present regulations it will take a great many less. It will not take near as many as it would require to inspect every day's output chemically-I mean, make a laboratory test of each day's output of flour.

Mr. RAINEY. Is there any inspection of straight wheat flour at all? Mr. KELLY. Anybody has the right to make laboratory tests of it,
