We all consume a considerable

SO at least we gather from the re-
port Of the committee on preserHa-

mate that very nearly 80 per cent.
Of the food products sold IN this
country contain chemicals to preserve
them from decay or 70 improve their
appearance. Many Of these chemi-
Gals are harmless, but Others are not
so, and the committee has issued a
list of drugs that should be absolute
~ prohibited. Formalin. which is
potent substance used chiefly for pre-
serving milk. should be absolutely
prohibited; salicylie acid should only
be permitted in very small quanti-
ties; and no preseryative whatever
should be allowed in milk. Only
small quantity of boric acid should
be allowed in cream and butter. No
preservatiyes whatever should be
allowed in foods intended for inva-
lids and infants. Copper salts for
greening preserved vegetables should |
be prohibited, and, finally, a court
of reference should be established 10

public consumption.-Lon Chron-
