1t was found lately In Philadelphia
that bright colored candies which
school children were eating in large
quantities were colored with coal tar
dyes Those dyes are poisons. They
are used by unscrupulous manufac-
turers in place Of vegetable dyes be-
cause they are cheaper. Public owner
ship Is the panacea of some people for
all Ills, and it was suggested that to
insure supply of pure candy the
city should begin making it. There
would be no occasion for schemes for
municipal candy factories If there were
strict and strictly enforced national
and state pure food laws. Several
other adulterants besides coal tar
dyes are found In candles. Glucose Is
one. 1t Is not poisonous, but 1t is q
cheap and Inferior commodity, and Its
use is fraud Another common candy
adulterant Is terra alba, white clay
which Is put in to add weight 1t Is
said % or 30 per cent Of the weight
Of candy sometimes is given by this
worthless and hurtful substance. An
adulterant which is widely used Is
paraffin. 1t Is put in chocolates to give
them consistency, enable them to stand
hot weather, and give them a gloss. It
is extremely indigestible and Is said to
be the cause Of many cases Of appen-
dicltis and other diseases. Cocoa but
ter serves all the purposes paraff1n does
and produces no bad effects, but many
manufacturers do not use 1t because it
costs 70 cents a pound, while paraf1in
costs only a tenth as much. Adulter-
ants are found not only in cheap candy
but in much that is high priced. No
body can be sure under present condi-
tions that when he buys he Is not being
defrauded or that when he eats he Is
not being poisoned. The amount Of in
jury to health and the number Of
deaths that impure candles cause, espe-
cially among women and children the
chief consumers, are much larger than
Is generally suspected. The speedy,
practicable way to stop the evil is to
pass and enforce pure food laws carry
ing heavy penalties. Those who make
and sell candles and other foodstuffs
containing harmful substances know
the probable results of their acts.
Dominated solely by greed, they delib-
erately imperll the public health. They
