FIGHT FOR
PURE FOOD
Small Army of Federal and
State Officials Foes of

Washington, Aug. 4. Every Ameri
can who eats food has a vital Intersnt
In tha gathering today at Mackinac Isl
and, Mich., of the association of federal
and state officers who ar engaged In
enforcing the pure food laws of the
lnd. This organization of state ana
national food and dRlfy departments
was organized twelve years ago at De-
troit and has held a meeting annually
since.
The ultimate object of the pure food
crusade Is to abolish trade secrets in
the food-stuff business; to asaurs a
purchasing consumer that he gets from
his grocer exactly what he pays for.
The -adulterator and the substltutor.
the user of polsdnous preservatives and
coloring matters, the unclean packer
and the dishonest grocer all these
tremble at the very name of the asso
ciation of food control officers which
meets today. The vast majority of the
food consumers of the country nave
never heard of this organization, per
haps, but the swindling manufacturer
who wnnM nni1a.nsrer the lives of mil
lions to Increase the profits of his plant
it.
th evsry-day llfs of ever parson in
ths country, that will b discussed by
tha mating of tha food control officers
at Mackinac. Ths meetings of tha asso
ciation wsre begun In 17. tha move
ment being initiated by ths stata food
commissioners of three or fur states
In an effort to secure cooperation ror
the anactment and enforcement or uni
form pure food laws. Thirty states and
tha federal government ars represented
In tha organisation now, and Its annual
meetings are attended by the most em
inent food chemists of Oils country and
of Kurpps.
rYntlo By Oood Tooa
Medical science has turned from tha
search for nostrums which will curs to
the pursuit of methods which will pre
vent disease. Impure food is inimical
to health, The pure food movement
has the support of the great body of
workers wliluh is endeavoring to apply
to the American people the "ounce of
prevention" which Is worth so much
more than the "pound of cure." The
pure food movement Is also supported
by' that sentiment which demands hon
esty in business: for adulteration is
fraud, and' false labeling: Is swindling
Nearly every stata In the Union now
has a pure food law upon Its statute
books. The legislatures of many states
have passed laws dealing with lmpura
and adulterated rood 'proDiems -wuiuu
confronted their several committees,
These laws blazed the way for the enact
ment, after a terrific struggle, of the
federal pure food law. The business of
the association of food control officers
now Is to secure legislation to strengtn
en weak places In the present laws, to
extend them where necessary, to obtain
uniformity between the laws of the
several states and the federal govern
ment. and to secure rigid enforcement.
rnbllo Sentiment Backs It AIL
When the federal pure food act was
being annulled In congress the stats
food and dairy commissioners' organisa
tion sent Its executive commltteo to
Washington. It presented the argument
that the states could not adequately en
force their laws In the absence of fed
eral regulation, as the states could not
reach the manufacture and sale of .Im
pure or adulterated goods shipped In In
terstate commerce. This committee had
much to do In bringing about the pas
sage of the federal food and drug act
of June 30, 1906. for which service
President Roosevelt paid its members
handsome tribute in his message to con
gress the following December.

The enforcement of the pure food L of Women's clubs, and associations of
laws of the states has done much good, physicians, nurses, chemists, retail gro-
but the federal law has been even more
effective. It has been- on the statute
hnnks a, little more than two years, and
plans for Its enforcement, as well as
constructions of the law itself, have
not been fully worked out. In spite of
delays and drawbacks, however, much
has been accomplished. No longer Is
It lawful for an enterprising manufac
turer to take a quantity of glucose,
color It a beautiful pink with coal tar
dyes, stir -in some pumpkin and some
timothy seeds and send It forth labeled
"Pure strawberry Jam." No longer Is
It lawful for -a packing house to make
canned chicken salad and chicken loaf
from waste Cuttings of veal and pork.
No longer Is It lawful to express the
Juice from waste meats and sell it for
beef extract under a label which de
clares that It is the uest of the beef
and a most nourishing food for invalids ,
ana convalescents.
So far has the law interfered with
"legitimate business" that It is no
longer proper and legal to take eggs
which have spent the summer In cold
storage and ship them in boxes or
crates labeled "strictly fresh eggs."
"Pure maple syrup" Is a label which
must now te used only on packages of
that rare delicacy.
"Burs Cures" Also Barred.
A drug manufacturer may not bottle
a nostrum and sell It as a sure cure for
an Incurable disease. The label must
tell what is In the preparation, if it con
tains dangerous drugs, and it must not
represent that the medicine will accom
plish the Impossible. The rectifier of
spirits may no longer manufacture
"Pure Old Rye Whiskey" by the simple
a-ldltlon of prune Juice and water to
irraln alcohol. The labels "whiskey,"
"blended whiskey." "compounded whis
key" and "Imitation whiskey" proclaim
the antecedents of the booze.
The unfeeling pure food authorities
rally to the slogan. "Let the Label Tell
the Truth." At Cincinnati and Minne
apolis tho authorities have seized mis
branded flour. The package set forth
In bold letters that the flour was made
from Minnesota spring wheat.. As a
"matter of fact It had been milled from
durum wheat, the variety that grows
In seral-arld lands. It Is not asserted
that durum wheat Is any less nutritious
than Minnesota spring wheat. But
many persons think the Minnesota va
riety Is more palatable and the laws
sav that when thev nav more mnnev
for the spring wheat flour they shall
get what they pay for.
Good Molasses, but Not Tras.
At New Orleans the authorities gath
ered In 30 barrels of molasses labeled
"open kettle molasses." It was good
molasses and wholesome. But It was
not really, truly, "open kettle." There
fore the seizure. Eighty-four bags of
coffee glasjed over with chrome yellow
were seized at Nashville. This coating
was put on "to save the coffee from de
terioration and to hold Its aroma" ac
cording to the argument in its favor.
As a matter cf fact the glazing was
done to cover defects In the berry that
the merchant mlR-lu obtain 3 to 5 cents
more for nix coffee. This "glazing" of
coffee was very common before the pure
food law days.
It Is such problems as these, affecting
cers, labor unions and such of tne food
manufacturers wno nave isvorea yu,"
food regulation.
Beginnings of a Great Work.
Actual work looking toward the puri
fication of the food supply of the coun
try was begun when congress enacted
Senator Justin A. Horrllfs bill estab
lishing government experiment stations
In each of the states. At each of these
stations was a staff of chemists em
ployed solely by the government and
beyond the Influence of private inter
ests. They worked with Dr. H. W. Wi
ley, the chief chemist of the department
of agriculture, In a systematic study of
the adulterations of various foods. The
government chemists have an associa
tion of their own, but many of them
are also members of the organization
which meets today at Mackinac.
The pure food movement In the states
Is the outgrowth of popular protest
against Impure and adulterated milk.
Ohio, Iltiofs, Wisconsin. Minnesota and
Connecticut were among the first to
establish state dairy commissions. These
commissions were equipped with labora
tories and the chemists gradually
branched out and b(gan to examine into
other things than milk, butter and
cheese. The work naturally enlarged it
self and the state laws were amenaea
from time to time so as to include
practically an Kinas oi iuuu hiuho,
drugs and beverages.
Tast work of tha Purists.
In some states the authority of en
fnmin th fiwl laws has been lodged
in a specially appointed or elected food
and dairy commissioner. In other states
this autnority is vested in mo "
health, In otlKsrs In the state experi
ment stations and In others In the state ;
board of agriculture. Some of these i
departments have been at work for 20
years, otners are just Deginniiis. j in
Important thing now Is that they are
practically all working in harmony and
cooperation.
The chemists of the pure food army,
taken altogether, have analyzed more
than 4.600.000 samples iOf foods and
drugs. Thev have successfully

Seattle, Aug. 4. "I guess we will
have all tho water In Seward peninsula
we want next year." said Henry Brat
nober, tha well-known mining man, to
a few friends at the Butler hotel, "for
no matter how dry it becomes we will
have a source which will give us not
perhaps nil that we need, but several
hundred Inches."
Mr. Bratnober returned a few days
ago from Nome, where he went to In
spect his property at Bluff. In the Top
kuk district. He Is heavily Interested
in a big hydraulic mine nn th TnnWulr
ditch, built to carry 2,000 inches of
water.
"When I left un there nearlv everv
ta-KKK was ary, yet we Had 400 Inches
of water In our ditch, and we did not
get It out of the streams either," he
said. "You see. It blows like a Texas
cyclone up there during the winter.
Well, we decided that that win would
noip us, so we nuut a rew snow fences,
Which held the drifts. Once the
drifts started they kept on building up
If there was anything to hold the
snow."
"We found that bv nuttiner hoards
uprigni in tne snow it would start a
anil. IT tne board was nenrlv novereil
au wo naa to ao was to pull the board
up and keep the snow piling up. Now.
as a result of that, we had the hills
covered with great mounds of snow.
and they had not all melted when I left
there. Next winter we will drift up all
the snow we can. so as to he there
will be enough water.
'It Is rather a funny thing that no
one ever thought of the scheme." nalrl
Mr. Bratnober. with a smile, "for we
have had dry seasons up there many
times, and we could Just as well have
had all the water we needed."

Why They Were
Certified
Being a state official and authorised
to authenticate documents, I have been
cslled upon In my official capacity to
authenticate hundreds of statements
that are so at variance with the popular
beliefs, and the evidence of the text
books, as to the curability of chronlo
kidney disease, that the unusual pre
caution was taken to have them authen
ticated with an official seal.
Text books declare that inflammation
of the kidneys In the chronic forms is
Incurable.
Several hundred letters and state
ments selected because they were from
supposed incurables were presented for
attestation and certificates. The re
coveries reported bv them permit only
two views, vis: either the age of
mlrscles has not passed or the text
books are wrong snd the supposed dead
line m-iween me curaDle anil the In
curable forms of kidney disease has dls

kidney dlsesse, even In Its worst forms.

certified to s above were made by Pul

hereby attach my signature and official

miles away, the village butcher shop
has passed away before the mammoth
abattoirs of the great meat packing
combines, and practically everything on
the family dinner table has passed
through a factory before it reached the
kitchen. If one would know the pedi
gree and history of the things he eats,
he must do his part to uphold the hands
of those who are trying to enforce the
pure food laws of the country.
