Food Dyes.
Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
If we are to be perfectly fair and consist
ent In dealing with the pure food business
1t seems that we should be careful about
fixing all blame where it belongs. Perhaps
tomato catsups and preserved strawberries
have been colored to a point deeper than
any which nature ever attempted. But
whose the fault? Who dem nd d that these
preserved things should please the eye first?
Women know, at least they all ought to
know, that when these things are prepared
IN their own kitchens the strawberries lose
their fine color. Tomato catsup. too. home
brewed, has not the vivid scarlet that a ripe
tomato usually has. Still the housekeeper
knows the articles are pure and good 10 eat,
for they were prepared by her orders. Yet
this very same woman, she is helping 10
fight the good fight for pure food, too. you
may be sure, when she visits her grocer
turns from the preserved Strawberries III
they are not red and refuses to order tomato
castsup that has bloom She does not
ask how these colors were retained by the
cooked fruits Or she never has. In the
past And so may she not fairly be charged
with completely in the coioring scheme
against which she now helps to make
merry war?

PLEDGES NO MORE HAZING
Naval Academy Glass Surrenders and
Recedes From Custom.

According TO brief dispatch in The Star
yesterday the abolition of the ''lazing GUS
toms and other practices among the mid
shlpmen at the Naval Academy now seems
to be assured. The present second class
which after graduation last week became
the senior class, started the movement. A
meeting was held and a committee an
pointed to draft resolution setting forth
It's views upon the matter and stating
the intention of each of the members to
no further modest the '.plebes," as the
fourth class men are called.
The committee which framed the resoIu-
ton was composed as follows: Churchill
Humphrey of Louisville, KY who is presf-
dent of the class; Earl w Pritchard Am
ity, La: Stephen 3. Mckinney. Knoxville
Tenn, and VIII r. Manner, jr, of Nash
Vile, Tenn.
The resolution Will be presented to the
superintendent OF the academy. with the
request that il be laid before the subcon-
mittee of Congress which began sessions in
Annapolis last week fOI the purpose OF
probing thoroughly into matters of dis
cipline at the school and also into the
hazing situation. The resolution reads as
follows:
the will of the people of the United States,
and with the belief that our action will
minister to good discipline, law and order,
but without apology for system that has
been supported In good faith and In the
main with only good intentions. we, the
class Of 1907, do
Resolve to abolish at the United States
Naval Academy, absolutely and without
reservation, hazng. class fighting, running
Tagging and all similar nracfices OF thi :
fact and resolution We make public declara-
ton, that Congress and the country may
realize both our wish and our ability to
make good our word. and may have the
assurance that hazing. class fighting, run
ming and tagging will cease of our own
free will, without the pressure of academy
discipline OF congressional legislation.
This action on the part of the class pre-
cludes the possibility of any further haz-
ing at the academy. at least for the next
year, IL not for all time.

withdrawing, the fly straCdles off and
proceeds at once to convert another
aphis into an incubator, and so on,

fifty or more, becomes exhausted.
