How Food Producers Lose Thousands
of Dollars Yearly Through
False Teports.

Some twenty years ago a false re-
port was sent out OF honey. claim
ing that this article was made OF
glucose and forced into combs made
of paraffine. This rumor did untold
injury to the honey industry and
has been proven a s'fake''. The old
story is still in circulation, passes
through that devious orbit, which be-
gins with the syndicate, passes to the
Sunday special finds its way to the
patent insert, is repeated by more re-
putable weeklies, taken up, again on
its syndicate course.
For years it appears there has heen
u standing offer OF $1,000 for any hon
ey of this character. In the nature
of things, neither paraffine combs or
glucose filing can be prepared and
sold at the price at which actual
honey can be furnished. Liquid
honey separated from the combs is
sometimes adullerated, but any bee
keeper is aware that 1T is impossible
by artificial means TO counterfeit the
disposition of honey in the comb as
made by the ingenious and busy, but
notwithstanding bee.
Thousands of dollars are lost annu-
ally by the manufacturers of pure food
products through circulation or false
and malicious reports. For the last
year or two there has been stories
circulated about the poisons that are
used to adulterate ana make cheaper
different products that are packed in
cans and packages and consumed
every day by the American people.
just because a few dishonest man.

sensational stories are printed that
do harm to all food manufacturers
OF the nation. To show how abb

those regarding canned goods, Gov
eminent Chemist Prof. III. w. Wiley
says that the general character of
canned vegetables are high also that
the use of preservatives in all canned
foods has almost entirely ceasedn.
As a matter Of fact, government
statistics show that 80 per cent of
the Gamers of this country have new

wife who buys any advertised brands
OF a reputable concern, will tind the
goods absolutely pure and %healtbful.--
NOWADAYS you pick up a daily pa
per you often read articles with a
heading something like this, "Poi-
soned by Canned Goods" Mrs. Smith
was taken sick, the doctor said she
was poisoned. The family remem-
bered that they had had canned
goods the night before. Therefore
the poisoning was laid to the canned
goods and the report circulated and
printed in the newspapers that poi
son was found. Then, after investi-
gatiou they found that Mrs. Smiths
trouble was caused by something en-
tirely different, but nevertheless the
report had beer circulated and un-
told injury done to the canning in
dustry.
We have all eaten canned peas, corn,
kidney beans and tomatoes for years
and years and who. can claim that
any OF these canned articles ever
did them a particle Of harm. The
government investigation last year
has proven that canned vegetables are
as pure and as good to eat as those
fresh from the field.
