K, loe, of Florence, Ore., wrote the following! "Florence. Ore., Oct. 21. l!K3. Your favor of (Molier 20 duly received and noted. l;i il iiiK, beg to My that the oc currence mentioned In your letter result ed from the eatinjj ranned raspberrie put up in the Mam jar. The fruit wa at least a year old, and a hort time prior to It use had been transported over a rough road nUiiit 2 mile. The ii-iiiniilat't mold in the jar had prolm blj been iiitcrminKh'd with the berriea in transportation tthbh caused the dif flrulty ill question, "The yoiiiijjiT child (C year of age) ate a larijf Miliar of thU fruit, and,' having an overdone threw it up and wa Nut over iU effetti the other child did not partake of an much, and her raM tva critical, and only hy the con tant and prepUtint effort of a phyl cian waa ohe restored. (Sillied,) S. E. LOWE." The Telepram'a account of the affair, pullihel at the time in the di-putche of the day, waa aa follow: "Eugene, Ore., Oct. 10. A report ha readied Eugene from Florence, at the j mouth of the Kiulaw river, that Wattle, theH year-old daughter of S. E. Lowe, au'd her hrother, (ieorge, were oioneil hy eating canued raplH'irie lant Thur dav, and it wa only by hrd work 'that the jfirl' life waa iiaved. The boy wa taken eerioinly ill, but vomited aoon after ami recovered U-fore hi iter did. The fruit which caused the trouble w put up by the family lat year. The two children opened it and ate aome of the fruit alKiut 10 oVhxk Thursday, and commenced to feci ill a few hour later. A phytician wa called in the evening, and by working hard all night, with the aanUfanre of their family, he auoeeeded in saving their live." U waa but natural that the Maon fruit jnr would come in for critical ex amination, the reult of which U the by no meun mild censure of J. W. llailey, the State Pairy and FtokI Comiiii-wioner for Oregon at the time, and the Inter national Pure Food C'ongren nt St. LouU lant year, which latter body came out with renewed vigor thU year at the b'wt and Clark Fair, iion the danger of lining ainc chloride in eohleiing tin used in canning food. The Food Com mlxaiitnerVa atatement i a follow: "Ollice of J. W. Bailey, State Dairy ond Food tVimmiKioner, room 19, ltree den building, Portland, Ore., Oetolier 2.", 1004. The two Maaon jar eapa have been examined, the metal of the new Maaon rap wa found to be pure r.ine. The email pinhole in the old Maon cap were undobtedly (aimed by the action of vegetable acids. A a result the fruit in the jar mut have 1hh-i givatly con taminated with poioiuu zine com pounds. '"I regard the uc of jar with line capH fl very unsanitary and even dung erons. 'Yotua very truly, J. W. BAILEY. Stute Hairy and Foml Commi-sioner.'' Tim appended statement I from lamca IL Fink, an analytic vhemUt and asxnycr of note of thia citys "Chemical Laboratory and Aay Of fliv, 204i Washington street, Portland, Ore., Decemler 2, 1104. From my ana lysis of the ainc porcelain lined .cap which I ordinarily used in dealing the Mu on jar, I etate without hesitation tlint the poion refered to in the incident of the Lowe family was produced not only by the mold of the fruit, but most likely by tho fruit juices having been in contact with the line in the cap. The transportation of the jar probably canned the entire content to lie con taminated by the poison. "In my opinion many caes. of Rick- iicus, and even death, may be discover ed a the result of slue compound poisoning, if properly traced to its source. Thl danger ha been Yeeognized to such a great extent of late that at the International Pure Food Congress held at St.' Louie, September of this year, the Ture Food Commissioners assembled at their eighth annual convention un animously 'resolved that no zine ehlorido should le used in soldering tin for Use In canning foods, .and that no Holder should be in contact with the content of the fan.' "Ho earnest was their desire to pre vent the pibllity of even few drops of nine chloride or solder from coming in contact with the food. Your very truly M. II. FISK." The following resolution was passed unanimously at the nineth annual Pure Food C'ongre of the National Associa tion of Pure Food Commissioners of the Cnited Wates, held at Portlaud, Ore., July, 1903: '. "Hesolved that the use of zinc caps In fanning fruits and vegetable in glass Jar or other reet-ptble is condemned a unsanitary and unhciiHhy, owing to the danger of the aids of the fruits and vegetables forming poisonous compounds when in "ontact with the iinc." Regarding the action of acids upon Zine, C L. Schmidtz, the chemist of Wodard, Clarke &, Co., wrote m fol low! "Portland, Ore Oct. RlWS.-Zinc will ili-ilve In the weakest gcids disen gaging hydrogen and forming add com pounds. Thee compounds' are poison ous, "Even common salt water will dissolve zine to aome extent. "Air vegetables nl fruits contain acid. "Zinc being dissolved by the acids will form compound evolving hydrogen, which assit in decomposing other com pounds audi as oxalate. "These oxalates will form a new poisonous compound,- Oxalic acid, "Crude zinc usually contains leadj al so arsenic and other chemicals, "Zinc being dissolved by fruit or rege table a:id glso liberate other Jm puriiic when present, therefore, -It is not advisable, but extremely dangerous to eat food that has been preserved In any vessel or jar whose cap is made of zinc, if in contact with the zinc any length of time.
