sive investigation it has conducted into
allegations that many important articles
of food and drink are adulterated so az
to be either serious detriment to the
public health or where the adulterant Is
not injurious to health, fraud on the
purchaser. Accompanying the report -
great mass Of testimony taken in the
leading cues OF the country. The report
says:
1.-THE adulteration of prepared or man
featured foods is very extensively prac-
ticed and in many cases to the great dis
credit Of our manufactures: 1t is only
fair to say, however. that II large proper
ton of the American manufacturers who
are engaged in adulterating food prod
ucts, do so in order to meet competition,
and it is the expression of these gentle
men to say: We would be glad to get out
Of the business Of adulteratins. We
would like to quit putting this stuff in
syrups for what they are, but our com
petitors secure a trade advantage which
we cannot surrender.
1T is the purpose Of this committee to
adopt this uniform rule:
TO prohibit the sale of deleterious and
unhealthy food products. and t. thosc
food products which are simply chcapened
by adulterants. to compel the marking Of
those goods for what they are. Deietrri-
Gus FOOD products should be prohibited
and the rest thoroughly regulated.
There have been two general ways
suggested as to the matter of regulation
First, to put the important food products
under the internal revenue law, as We
havt, III the ease of butter. flied cheese,
and at the last Congress. flour.
The other plan to regulate the food
products is contained in Senate bill 2i2G
which establishes department under the
secretary Of agriculture ana provides for
the establishment III a board which shall
fix the standards Tor foods, drinks, ana
for drugs, based on the American phar-
tnacoucia. The strong argument in favor
81 this plan Is the fact that it would br
cumbersome to take MI the small articles
vi food products that are now adultrrated
ana allow their suphisticatUn or adu!-
