speaks much for the restraint Of
American public opinion, and the
distaste of Americans for conquest

weapons, has been driven from

has awakened no popular enthus-

Aguinaldo is brought by the
capture of Malolns to the very

would seem to be in the same po-

: Pure Food.

The auulteratiOn of many articles OF
food and the imposition upon the pub
lie Of the spurious productsas the gen
uine, provoked the investigation which
is now being carried OH by committee
of the United States senate.
There is reason to expect practical
and beneficial results from this inquiry,
especially as it seems to be prosecuted
without fear OF favor.
We have had many Investigations
under both State and Federal authority
that were fiascOs. but the senate COM
mittee which was appointed to ascer-
tain the extent of food adulteratiOn in
this country appears TO mean business.
Its sessions are held ill public and ap-
parently every effort is made to get ut
the bottom facts.
Recent reports Of several State ngri-
cultural departments and experiment
stations indicate to what All alarming
extent the adulteration OF food pro-
ducts has proceeded. Some of the
adulterants are harmless. but many of
them are very injurious. But the palm
ing off of adulterated food products,
whatever may be their composition, is
a fraud which should be suppressed.
The sale Of any article of food which is
not precisely what it claims to be should
be absolutely prohibited. If it is a
mixed article, or is adulterated with
elements which are harmless, the fact
should be clearly demonstrated on
every package and dealers should be
required to give ample notice of the
character of what they offer for sale.
There are mixed fiours which many
persons had as soon use as the genuine
and which many prefer because they
are cheaper, but it should be made il
legal to sell any such articles as pure
-four. There are many other instances
in point.
Oleomargarine is chemically as pure
as butter and is quite as digestive. On
the whole Oleomargarine is benefit to
the country, but the law forbids deal
Ell to sell oleomargarine as butter.
There is much more need for the
protection OF the public from other ar
tificial and the many adulterated food
products now 80 thick on the market
than there Was for the passage Of the
Oleomargarine law. The senate COM
mittcc will probably discover and ex-
pose very large number of food adul
teratiOns, and congress may take action
in reference to them. But the most
proper and the most effective pure food
legislation must come from the States.
This is matter which the Georgia
legislature should consider and act upon
at its next sessiOn.-Atl0nta journal.
