Canned FOOd.

The danger from noxious ACIDS in
canned fruit. meat and vegetables is not
altogether fanciful. Careful expert
ments in England have revealed the
presence of small amounts of the metal
dissolved in the juice of the contents of
the can. The proportion was small in
most eases, but it is sometimes so greet
rs TO produce nausea and all the Symp-
toms of poisoning. When the Juice or
fr it betrayS 4 metallic. taste it is the
result of dissolved metal. The amount
may be 30 small as to be harmless, but
tha danger Is in swallowing repeated
doses OF the noxious substance day after
day in families addicted to the constant
use of canned food. Tin is the cheapest
material for canning. and this leads to
its universal employment; but il once
the public conceive repugnance to it
some safer material will have to be
adopted. The canning process is
modern dev'ce o. incalcufable value;
since it furnishes to every part of the
world at cheap price the desirable
fruits OF all other regions. and materi-
ally diversities the character of living.
Glass is more expensive than tin, but it
