CATSUp HAS A FIT.
Commissioner Mcconnell Makes Rul-
ing Under the Budd Law.


w. w p. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner, yesterday made q
ruling under the Budd pure food law
passed by the recent legislature, giving
jobbers and retailers of catsup contain
ing coloring matter and preservatives
other than benzonate of soda until July
l, 1904, to get rid of their products. After
that date catsup must be absolutely free
from all kinds of coloring matter, and
must not contain any other preservative
than benzoate of soda.
Mr.. McConnell's ruling, addressed to
iobbers and retailers, is as follows:
Owing to the fact that the season
when you viii place your orders for cat.
sup is fast approaching, and to reply to
the many inquiries now being received
this department deems it proper to ad-
wise you that it will pass all oatsups now
in the hands of jobbers and retailers in
this state which do not contain any dele
terious or harmful ingredients from this
date until July l, 1894.
"We earnestly request that all catsups
of this years manufacture, placed upon
the market, bear upon the label the
figures 1903. These goods shall be free
from coloring matter, but until it may
be established that benzoate of soda is
harmful limited quantity mot exceed
ing one part in twelve hundred parts)
will be permitted. If at any time this
may prove harmful, then we reserve the
right to withdraw permission of its use.
please to fully understand that the
use of no preservatiYe other than benzo-
ate of soda will be permitted, and that
only under the conditions and restric-
tions herein stated"
The ruling is one of the most import
ant ever made by Minnesota commits
sioner. 1t is made on the principle that
the state has a right to prevent the use
of coloring matters, powders and filters,
even though it may not be detrimental
to health.
Manufacturers maintain that the
coloring matter is used merely to give
the catsup the bright color people have
come to expect catsup to have, and that
the coloring matter is absolutely harm
less. 1t is used, they say, only to i'm
prove the appearance of the product.
The present ruling refers only to cat
sup dIQ WAS ulelUc dI ILLS Illuc III iC-
sponse to inquiries from catsup manufac-
turers asking whether preservatives
could be used under the new law. Manu-
facturers maintain that it is impossible
to manufacture catsup without preser-
vatives. Some said that they should be
allowed to use at least l part preserva-
tive to every 400 part tomato. Mr.. Nc
connel decided, on making investiga-
tiens, to allow the use of benzoate of
soda, which, he says, is the mildest pre-
servative known, in the ratio of l to l.
200 parts.
Mr.. Mcconnell decided to give dealers
ten months to close out their products
in order not to make the law severe
hardship. Catsup is often colored with
coal tar dyes, known also as "analyne
dyes" These dies can be secured in 700
colors A few drops are sufficient to
color barrels of catsup. Salicylic acid
and borax also are used sometimes and
are ruled out by this law.-St. Paul Plo-
neer Press.

NELSON TO THE FORE.
President Will Place Olive Branch in
the Senator's Hand.

Washington, Aug g. II is not expect
ed that President Roosevelt will appoint
an assistant secretary of the department
cf commerce and labor until after he re-
tmns to Washington tn take up the reg
ular routine of executive work.
During the last few days some efforts
have been made by Senator Burrows and
one or two other statesin to have the
assistant named at i'm eally day.
Secretary Cortelyou has been working
very hard and thus far has been unable
to leave Washington for needed rest
1t has been something of a task to or
ganize the big department. and in addi-
tion to the many perplexing questions
relative to the transfer of several large
bureaus from the treasury, interior and
other departments, Secretary Cortelyou
has been drawn into the government
printing controversy, in which w. A.
Miller of Minnesota is playing a star en-
gagement.
1t is now said that when Secretary
Cortelyou takes his vacation this month,
that James r. Garfield will become act
ing head of the department of commerce
and labor.
In this connection there is a revival
of the talk that when a new assistant is
appointed he will be western man, and
from Minnesota.
1t is well known that Senator Nelson,
who is the author and chief promoter OF
the law creating the department of COM
lherce and labor, has never felt right
toward the administration since the bill
was passed and Minnesota received no
recognition.
President Roosevelt knows this. He
has tried several times to come to IN
understanding with Senator Nelson, but
there has always been some hitch. The
appointment of NJ. u. Purify as assistant
attorney general and of James K. Greene
as civil service commissioner did not
tend TO mollify the attitude of S'enat x
Nelson.
His Endorsements were not asked i
either case.
He will not 90 to the white house 70
ASK for anything, but it is not at all
unlikely that early next month the
president will make overtues to Senat "
Nelson and ask him to confer relative
to the selection of an assistant secretary
CT commerce and labor. If Senator Ne[
son will name a suitable man, Minnesota
can get the appointment.
