Fretting and Whining Sinful

is to swear and lie and steal. and he was

POisOns In Fruit and Vegetables

In preserving foods the natural colors
OF food products tend to fade and dmin
.ish with time. In order that this fault
he remedied, the use { coloring matters
has become almost universal in some
forms of food products. For instance,
some time ago was unable to find in
the city of Washington a single pound
of uncolored butter. Tomatoes and
other red vegetables and fruits are often
colored with eosin; preserved peas ard
beans, as is well known, have the green
color fixed aud accentuated bv the use
OF very Objectionable substance, name
~, s1lphate OF copper. Added red color
ing matters are often found in wines.
Preserved cherries are first bleached so
as to become white, then colored beau
tiiul red, and many other Objectionable
practices of similar kinds are INDUCED
in.
1t is probably true that the palatabil
ity of foods is increased by having them
this end the natural coiors which food
products have and which are regarded
as indexes cf purity and excellence
should be retained as carefully as pos
BILE, This however does not seem TO
justify the practice OF any deception by
the use OF artificial coors Tor the pur-
pose of initiating in poorly coolored
food product the attractive and moro
pronounced colors which characterize
the better kinds OF food OF that char

their arrival it was learned here
that the fever had appeared at
Uouma. AS the fever was not IN
