Women Want Pure Foods,

The Mothers Child Study club Of Sioux
City, Iowa, is up in arms against adul-
terated food and proposes to chemically
examine much of the canned goods now
on the market This active campaign is
the result Of the paper on Canned Veg
etables," which was read before the club
by Mrs. w. E. Russell, who reported that
a chemical examination Of high-grade
can of peas showed that ingredients
foreign to the vegetable and harmful to
health were present in unnecessary guam
titles. Copper has been used to give col
or, and alum to preserve crispness This
brought the matter to the attention OF
the house wives, for the peas were of a
brand they commonly used. A chemist
has offered his services to the club, and a
committee was appointed to continue the
investigation. Various brands offered on
the local market will be examined. If a
good variety is found among them an
nouncement will be made. The bad will
be published and the good hunted for
