POisOns in Fruit and Vegetables

In preserving foods the natural colors
of food products tend to fade and dimin
ish with time. In order that this fault
be 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 and accumulated bv the use
OF very Objectionable substance, name
ly, srlphate of copper. Added red color
ing matters are often found in wines
Preserved cherries are first beachcd So
as to become white, then colored beau
titul 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
presented in attractive forms. and to
this end the natural colors which food
products have and which are regarded
as indexes Of 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 colors tor the pur-
pose of initiating in a poorly coolored
food product the attractive and more
pronounced c0lors which characterize
the better kinds of food of that char
acter-Dr. Fl. W. WILEY in the March
