A REoENT writer. who made person.

draws the conclusion that there is no
longer any such commodity as pure
olive oil. Visiting all the oil-produc-
ing factories of Italy. and applying
scientific tests, he discovered that
what was sold for olive oil and labeled
as such almost always contained an
admixture Of cottonseed oil or other
authorizations. Arguments for the
proper labelling Of food products, I'M
der penalty OF law. continue 10 multi
ply. The oil-producing countries Of
Europe are but single instance Of
gross imposition upon the public. It
is not contended that many OF these
food authorizations are anything but
beneficial from various standpoints.
They are often cheaper than the pure
article, and hence more accessible to
the poor. In these days of chemical
discoveries the entire constituent parts
Of the warriors foods have their substi-
tutss. All are not equally good. but
