From my analysis of the zinc porce-
lain lined cap which is ordinarily
used in sealing the Mason jar, I
state without hesitation that the poi
son referred to in the incident of the
Lowe family was produced not only
by the mold of the fruit, but most
likely by the fruit juices having been
IN contct with the zinc in the cap.
The transportation of the jar
probably caused the entire contents
to be contaminated by the poison.
! In my opinion. many cases of sick
ness, and even deaths, may be dis
covered as the result of zinc COM
pound poisoning. if properly traced
to its source.
Thls danger has been recognized
to such great extent Of late that at
the International Pure food Con-
gress held at st. Louis, September of
| this year. the Pure Food Commits
sioners assembled at their eighth an
nual convention unanimously "re-
solved that no zinc chloride should
be used in soldering tin for use in
| canning foods, and that no solder
should be in contact with the con-
tents of the can"
So earnest was their desire to pre-
vent the possibility of even a few
drops of zinc chloride or solder from
| coming in contact with the food.
. Yours very truly, J.H. FISK.

The two Mason jar caps have been
examined. Upon examination, the
metal of the new Mason cap was
found to be pure zinc. The small
pin-holes in the old Mason cap were
undoubtedly caused by the action of
vegetable acids. As result, the
fruit in the jar must have been
greatly contaminated with poisonous
zinc compounds
| regard the use of Jars with zinc
caps as very unsanitary and even
dangerous. Yours very truly,
J. w. BAILEY,
State Dairy and Food Commissioner.

Japan,s War Fund.

Al told, foreign loans, domestic
loans, war taxes, increased customs
duties, etc, Japan has raised nearly
$S5g,O00, 900 for war purposes. As
wages in the United States are at
least six times higher than in Japan,
the amount raised by that country is
equal to our raising $500, 1000 900.
Further, as the population Of Japan is

about $4,000, 00O, 900 to equal Japan's
