pending for years The scandals uncovered by the government investigators should be made public since it concerns the public welfare Consumers should be able to get reliable information on products by writing to the Department of Agriculture The enforcement program should have a far larger appropriation so that it can go after the big shysters as well as the fly-by-nighters "All packages bottles

all adulterated foods and drinks The same rule should apply to all commodities A "silk" dress which is 75 per cent tin should be labeled 'tin silk' 'Wool' blankets which contain 1 per cent wool should

prominence the situation in regard to adulteration and misrepresentation practices against which he fought for 50 years During the 30 years Dr Wiley directed the government 'a Bureau of Chemistry his crusadea against "manufacturers of death" and the activities of his "poison squad" which dined CAI the foods alleged to be unfit kept the cause of pure food in the public eye from week to week Since Dr Wiley's forced retirement from public office in 1012 little has been heard of food menaces and the general public has been lulled into complacent confidence in the guardianship provided by enforcement of the Pure Food Laws Characterizing this confidence as "entirely unjustified" food analysts Informed The World that conditions are actually more dangerous than in the days of Dr Wiley's "poison squad" The best chemists in the country have devoted their ingenuity to perpetrating new frauds and circumventing the restrictions of the law they declared Legally the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1909 is virtually paralyzed thanks to the work of expert lobbyists Department of Agriculture officials publicly described their policy as keyed to let industry set its own standard" Throughout his life Dr Wiley campaigned against food products treated with benzoic acid benzoate of soda sulphurous acid alum sulphides borax and similar aids to preservation and cheap merehandizing These he claimed cauaed millions of American families in mado by a glucose spray which has been found to be a propitious breeding ground for bacteria Many prunes are treated with sulphur but only the labels on the big crates which the consumer never sees Indicate this Cider Is widely adulterated with benzoate of soda but the public which patronizes the fountains has no way of knowing this In Germany no fountain could sell such cider without displaying in a prominent place a sign describing the true properties Whole wheat flour is simulated by use of sulphured molasses bran etc Flour Is sometimes bleached with poisonous chemicals Nino per cent of the bottled mineral water examined by a group of scientists was found to be virtually sewage Approximately 41 per cent was less pure that the average municipal water supply Warts Mob Be Transmitted Doctor States digeation and In many cases induced slow poisoning Ile denounced a long 8 W11981011 of "health" products which utilized publicized scientific theories concerning vitamins thyroid mineral salts etc for fantastic dolma while government intervention lagged years behind Fraudulent cosmetics insecticides and cure-all medicines flourished in open defiance of the law he charged Practically all these abuses yet exist according to Stuart ChaSC and Schlink authors of "Your Moneys Worth" and directors of 'Consumers' Research Inc" The triumph of manufacturers over the "public's right to pure food and honest values" described by Dr Viley in his last book "The History of a Crime Against the Food Law" written in 1929 they substantiated in full The failure of pure food enforcement they ascribed to the following practices: While the Pure Food and Drug Art of MO requires Manufacturers to state true ingredients on labels a great many concerns put such revelations only on the bulk containerm no the general public never knowm that Its prunes may have been treated with mulphur and I hat three-quarters of a jar of jam may be gelatin and turnip pulp Many firms do not put anything specific on the label but make miraculous claims for the product in tbe advertising over which the Pure Food Law has no control When labels offer false information or when products are discovered to be injurious to health it often takes the government officials years to get the eases into court In the meantime the unethical concerns have milked the public for Burden of proof is always put on the government the investigators pointed out It has become customary to justify practices in general commercial use They further complain that re ed" to manufacturers that "something should be done" Lead salts are still used in some face powders Ammoniated mercury flourishes in many cold creams Lead and arsenic are used in certain hair dyes Many cosmetics and patent medicines contain none of the properties their advertising indicates Cottonseed oil masquerades as olive oil Ice cream is sometimes made chiefly of starch and gelatin Although meat Inspection is done effectively frozen chickens are generally overlooked Shipments of chicken in ivhich 41 per cent were found to be cancerous or tubercular have been reported Hair curlers flourish that contain 09 per cent water Mouth washes that don't kill any bacilli continue to be manufactured while court actions drag along Insecticides that Insects thrive on continue to roll up impressive sales records "For years America itult trees were sprayed with a high content of arsenic and lead" Schlink pointed out "No rule was made for washing the fruit or modifying the formula until foreign countries threatened an embargo on the American goods as poisonous Then the Department of Agriculture began to consider reform action A great many reforms can be traced to tic protests of powerful Indus Uni nat met be 1 tion tion in seer At last the United States De-par in en of Agriculture has stripped the wart of some of Its mystery by proving that it can be transmitted from one animal to another Dr Gilbert Creech veterinarian who proved that warts are "catching" says they are probably caused by a filterable virus which Is the scientist's term for a form of life so small it can not be distinguished in any way except by Its damage Warts from the hides of slaughtered cattle were finely ground with salt solution and applied to the scratched skin surfaces Pr calves In some cases the solutions were injected into the skin with a hypodermic needle Nearly three out of four calves thus treated contracted warts to consumers The Department of Agriculture sends out "warnings" Catsup often has a content of benzoate of soda held by many scientists to be harmful Fruit is often dried by sulphur dioxide fumes This process is doubly useful to the commercial Interests because it makes the color of decayed fruit normal Certain fruit juices bearing the lame' "ameliorated" were found to be treated with sulphur dioxide Manufacturers of maple syrup which is 80 per cent cane sugar get by with the misleading label "cane-maple" and charge just as much as firms which distribute real maple syrup The shins on prunes nmy be Sulphur benzoate of soda artificial coloring saccharine

Why I have never been Ill Where am I anyhow and where's Elkington?" The nurse patted him gently on the cheek saying "There now don't talk Just go to sleep" Atkins fell asleep again but the next time he awoke things began to become more vivid in his memory "Elkington old man what happened to you? Where is that photograph you were showing me of your wife and daughter? "Good God Elkington old pal what did happen?" But the nurse gently patted him again and said "It's all right I have the photograph safe You were clutching it in yoir hand when you were brought in here nearly a week ago" "I am sorry but I am afraid you have lost the sight of one of your eyes and the doctor is afraid that if you talk too much it may affect the other" It was some six months before Atkins was fit to be removed to Englan and another three months before he was disdiarged from ho-zpiti1 atid the Army 716 Fk t'47 (A itgA 4 ifki 11 et -4 '1 4 z4 N1- i-' I r2h -7rt i 04 -04 1 si t-2s1'17f1-2' 1- 1 fk (t4tzik I- tA 1 tOV: j71 4 s'r 4 41 if 4 1 i i 't '''i' 1 r' i i If 4A 4 1 i 1923 to th elonft the oft than 't dee belt The assist bavir as lavort li- 7 :4 -4 -1 1- i -z 4: JiliA-7' ---I441 4 tfAr4 t'ic I 'Y -t: 'kit 4 4 4w -kkis- '-14" v40 i 3 mj 000004': 1' Itt43' tt N'''' '11ECA 0401 "I had a nervous breakdov-n and could not do the work I have to do around the house Through one of your booklets I found how Lydia fink ham's Vegetable Compound had helped tther women and I went to the drug store and got me six bottles It has done me good in more ways than one and now I work every day without having to lie down I will answer all letters with Evel-strteyert 77 N' 16 Street East St Louis Illinois a a a "Button-hole sir?" said a voice '451 00l at his elbow as Atkins was about to take a drink 1 7 Senorita Mercedes Loynoz recently selected as the most beautiful girl in Cuba in a contest staged by the Havana Diario de la Marini She will re-present her country at the international beauty pageant in Rio de Janeiro VNt4 VICTORIA The' "00 thanks" said Atkins then as the voice pleaded again attractive child in thing made hint turn around America" John Raymond Le- Here before hint stood a young IIIICITIOt of this city Nilo WW1 girl of about IS years of age wear the grand prize of $1500 hag a shade over one eye and sell-awarded by the Photogra- ing violets phes' Association of America' That face scented familiar to the se the not that ti Thom: 177 a- 1 :1 I Efri ril lull I ft 7T iat- )4 1 illi al thik 5 4 14 4 i a 114 A 144illlfrirliilli11111)11--- 1 41 4 0' V1'64-1 '-r'-' iiiiAMMWSMIL II ik' 4 1 0inonnotnomnalltnolealanavimPr 1 I' 41" I C) ArN.
