National Pure Food Law.

A National "Pure Food Law is
certainly to be preferred to state laws
for the same purpose. The following
item from Wallace's Farmer shows
who oppose the law and why:
There seems to be a prospect for
the enactment of the national pure
food law which has been introduced
in the senate by Senator Hepburn, a
similar if not identical bill having been
introduced in the house by Colonel
Hepburn. of Iowa.
The enactment of this law is meet
ing with bitter opposition in the sen
ate. from which we may naturally look
for opposition to everything that tends
to promote the national welfare The
opposition comes from the packers

Sacch harin.

The editor of the Louisiana Planter
says:
In this issue of the Planter there
will be found an excerpt from the
American Monthly Review of Re
views. entitled "What Is Saccharin,
A Caution?'' The gradual intrusion
of saccharin into the sugar markets
of the world, with view of displacing
with this chemical product the great,
naturally nutritive article of sugar, is
worthy of more consideration than it
has hitherto received. The article
hereinbefore referred to will be found
exceptionally interesting, based as it
is upon the Dutch investigation of the
subject matter.
When saccharin was first discovered
by Fahlberg at the Johns Hopkins
University in Baltimore. some twenty
or more years ago, the value of sugar
was based chiefly upon its use for con-
dimental, or fiavOring purposes. 1t is
only since that time that, with the
diminishing prices of. sugar, the world
has come to learn the great nutritive
value of pure sugar and the still di-
minishing prices of this staple in the
markets of the world are certain to
accentuate this appreciation of sugars
nutritive value and lead to an enor-
nous increase in it's consumption.
AS against the genuine merits of
cane sugar. saccharin comes i'm as an
insidiOuS competitor, reputed to have
from 300 to 500 times the sweetening
power of sugar. In the article that
we reprint it is demonstrated that
saccharin is a positive poison and that
its use as a food article is inimical to
the health of the users. This matter
has been So thoroughly exploited in
European states are prohibiting entire
| ly the importation of saccharin and
others are endeavOring to suppress the
trade by very heavy taxation. If
those interested will lend their atten.
ton to this matter it will be of great
value to the sugar industry, leading
as it will to a higher and better ap-
probation of sugar as a nutritive. as

that the rat or mouse family are more

tically all the time. Hence we Oc-
casiOnally hear of a horse becoming
rabid. or a COW, or a sheep. Some
years ago, many inquiries came to
me from places in Western Pennsyl-
vana and Eastern Ohio, of both cattle
and horses going rabid. Investigation
demonstrated that every farm in which
there was an outbreak was literally
alive with rats. 1t has been a notice
able fact that rats sometimes are in
every barn. if not in every house. over
a large area of country, and often a

The following is the article from
the Review of Reviews, referred to
above:
What is Saccharin? A Caution.
In connection with the growing pub
lie interest in the pure food question,
the following article, which we take
from the Dutch monthly Vragens des
Tijds, is of considerable present value.
In a small pamphlet, published by the
Anti -SugarTaX League of Holland,
DIR. NJ. Greshoff has sent out a note
of warning to any who may think of
replacing sugar by saccharin in family
use. ''What is saccharin?' asks DIR.
Greshoff He then says answering
his own question:
"a manufactured product obtained
i'm various ways from coal tar. Twen-
ty-five years ago the German chemist,
C. Fahlberg. quite accidentally dis
covered that composition of tOlual
exists containing sulphur and nitro
gen. having an extremely sweet taste,
without otherwise bearing any re-
semblance to sugar. Several other
chemical products also have a sweet
taste-e. G., glycerine-but that dis
covered by Fahlberg surpassed them
all i'm this respect, and was proved to
be three hundred times as sweet as
sugar. Later. it was found that, by
further publication, this degree Of
sweetness could be raised to five
hundred times that of sugar. After
thorough analytical examination of
the substance, Fahlberg secured
patent for his discovery. and gave it
the very inaccurate name of saccharin.
1t had been better, and less mislead
ing. if he had named it pseudO-saccha-
rim. His object may have been, very
naturally, to make sure that this
name should at once remind those who
use the substance of genuine sugar"
In the chemical formula for saccha-
rim. the initiated can at once read very.
much of the nature of this substance
| namely. that it has in reality nothing
| i'm common with sugar. and that ac-
cording to all that we know of similar
| substances, it cannot be considered an
article of food. but rather as poison,
or, at the best, as a medicine
salicylic acid. for example. Mr.. Fahl-
| berg advertised his discovery eXten-
sively and with great financial sue
cess. In those days many. even among
scientists, had no clear idea of the
food value of sugar. regarding it only
as sweetening substance and a not
Indispensable cOndiment To the in
fluence of this opinion, i'm part at least,
The Dutch revenue law affecting
sugar owed its origin. That sugar is

observed at that time. No wonder.
therefore. that saccharin as three
hundred-fOld sugar was hailed with
acclaim, and that it should have been
honestly thought that by the discovery
of this sweet stuff a great benefit
had been conferred upon mankind.
