In a recfat issue of the Saturday
(Evening , Pout, contained. a xher
startling advertisement of a proml
nent California fruit canner, which
1h states that more of the canners of
peaches use caustic soda to remove
the skins of the fruit before can
ning. ,
This sensational Btateraent comes
Just as the , benzdate of soda discus
sion is at its highest Interest and
will lend n(y importance to the agi
tation for pure foods. It seems that
no branch of the ' fruit Industry is
free from the secret use of chemt
, cals which must certainly be harm
ful and such as would rouse violent
public opposition if , the facts were
generally known. .
To save a cent or two per can
'.on the cost of knife peeling certain
canners deliberately ubo chemicals
which must certainly be harmful and
which even the wildest partisan will
not say Improves the fruit in any re
spect. This advertisement further
claims that this practice is known to
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, but that through ab
sence of any specific law on the sub
ject, the departmentofflcials will not
make any decision on the question of
compelling canners to state on their
labels' that they use the caustic so
da process. ' '
It is probable, however, that every
canner will be compelled by the dis
cusslon following this advertisement
to take positive grounds on this
'question and say that either he does
not use the lye process or else give
the real facts to support the use of
this soap constituent in the prepa
rations of human food.
The canning Industry has grown
greatly the last tew years and with
the growth of this Industry there
has also been a corresponding in
crease in the number and Import
ance of orchards throughout this
, land. This Industry has also been a
great help to the farmer .In bringing
good prices for his product The im
provements In the way of better, ma
chinery have also done much for the
popularity of the canned product, as
the consuming public now under
stands that It is the wish of the men
this business to put out a pro
duct which is prepared as whole-
somely as any housewife can do in
her own kitchen.
In vlow of the greed which per
mits the use of caustic soda Instead

We will probably see the entire
matter threshed out In teh press, if
Is results in anywhere near the good
that the pure food agitation of a few
years ago did. It will be worth the '
while of every newspaper in the land
to actively support the movement for
me aoonuon or me iye-8tew m me'
peach canning factories.

At a convention of advertising men

"Where are you from?" Inquired the

so very long ago. I was In Denver
and Salt Lake City and all around.
It's strange we didn't meet."

of leave granted thorn. When they did

to witness the intllctlon of the flogging.
When all was readv the Scotchman
