There are a number OF things besides
reIjoion and women that We have to take
IN faith, and until recently canned goods
,~as one of chem. At last some compen.
dum of general information fellow discov
ered that canned goods were devastating
whole communities, so to speak, with
their hidden, concentrated, boiled down
poisop, and that even the goats on the
vacant lots pined away and died eating
the empty cans. Then he wrote about 1t
and the old women-and all old women
don't wear dresses-talked about 1t and
made a great ado aud fuss and tossed all
the empty cans they had over into their
neighbors' back yards anu ooyoo''eu tne
deadly stuff forever.
One of INV trades il canning, but / am
not seeking free advertisement for the
nar,icular brand Of goods that is making
me- 40 Vapderbilty wealthy, for the 'Cele-
brated Red Seal Brand" does not ask Tor
nor does not need any free putts. l
rnorelv refer to il as IL is the one with
vbicb am most familiar. For instance,
good tin is used in the cans and all the
cans are soldered on the outside, In order
that the goods may not come in contact
with the solder, which is very important
when the contents OF the cans are acidulous
in their nature, like tomatoes. for example
The idea that we find 80 current that as
much carelessness is exercised as possible
in the manufacture Of the goods, and that
the flthiness of canning house is only
excelled by hog pen, is simply unadul
terated foolishnGss and bosh. There are
some housewives who manipulate their
butter with their hands, green" their
pickles in an old greasy looking brass
kettle, and hand apples around to theiI
visitors In a wash basin and remember
one who had neighborhood reputation
for cleanliness, whose husband was Away,
required 70 leave his boots of at the
kitchen door for fear Of soilipg the inn
maculately clean kitchen floor and wher
the dog wished TO enter the kitchen h'
had TO pause on the threshold till his very
particular mistress would wipe his fee
with the dish clotb--and thatsa positiv
fict.
OF course we have some such careles
and dirty Gamers, some OF those kiud U
people who never do anything right Bu
as a rule we are particular about ou
work, paying strict attention to ceaulines
and thoroughuess We have the lubli
health at heart as much as any othe
good citizens have in fact We are particr
larly careful now not to kill any OF ou
customers as We want them to live, IL
crease and multiply and consume immens
quantities of canned goods. Anothe
reason why We exercise the greatest car
to pack our goods ueatly, cleanly, quickl!
right, is because it never pays To do
thing wrong.
Aud now, if auy Of your readers or al
other readers, or any Of their relative
will do me the honor to call on me abo
the last of next August OF the first
September, | will be pleased to she
them how the foe evergreen corn
husked by clean hands into clean swe
baskets, carried to the cutters that d
washed thoroughly every day with Gle
water, will show them how 1t leaves
cutters for the silker thence
the hands of set OF the b
looking, best working, tidiest, clean har
ed girls in Lancaster county, who pack
in the cans aud weigh them. Then We "
follow it through the dipping tub where
receives the clean salty water, on lit
far her where the clean tin caps are !
on the can, then VIC will see little mu
attic acid in which all the link has bt
dissolved that it will assmilate, appl
with q brush. This acid will have bt
diluted with water until one cot
drink it l. with "a muci impun
as the common rot gut whisky. Anyho
none OF it touches the contents OF the ca
as the groove catches all over suppl
Then a small piece Of solder is laid in q
groove, the cans are passed to the cappe
then through the various tubs and kettl
to be cooked, where you will learn wi
you can't 'do it at home just as good
You can see IL from the time it leaves Z
husk till it is ready for use next winter
"iit to set before the king" You will :
that nothing goes i'll the corn cIns b
corn, salt aud water, and nothing in t
tomato cans but sound, clean, ripe ton
toes.
If you don't believe 1t, come aud sc
husbands, bring your wives, or, if they
too busy about that time o. year, bri
your best looking daughters-it is all
same to me.
Lastly, and for tho sake of your repu
tion for good common sense, don't 4
about the poison of canned goOds--Or n
thing else you know nothing about.
