GERMANS TURNED DOWN
Application for Charter in the Steam
Engineers Union Is Re- uassS
jected.

Milwaukee, Sept. 17.-An application
for charter by a number of German
engineers in the city of New York has
been truned down by the convention Of
Information Union of Steam Engieers.
The greater part of the session was de-
voted to the consideration of this queS-
ton. The main point against the ap-
plication was that all examinations for
membership in the union must be made
in the English language and it was sug-
gested that all German engineers may
not be sufficiently versed in the Eng
lish language to pass creditable ex-
amtion.
Furthermore it was claimed that if
one class of foreigners was admitted
to the union others would have an
equal right to a charter, and the applf-
cation was therefore tabled The con-
vention elected Matt Comerford of st.
Paul, president, and r. A. Eckel, of
Peria, Ill.,, secretary-treasurer, and ad-
journed sine die.

Names and the Law.

Speaking generally, the law Of Eng
land allows person to assume and
use any name. provided it's use is not
calculated to deceive or inflict pecuni-
airy loss So the court of appeals laid
down the law in Dockrell against Dou-
gall, and this attitude of the law, the
Law Journal remarks, is chara cteristic
of our British love of liberty. French
law is much more strict. 1t fOrbids any
citizen to bear any name other than
that which is expressed in the registry
of his birth or to add any surname to
his proper name. German law is the
same, only it goes little further in
imposing a penalty on any one giving
false name to an official.-Dundee

COLORINC FOODS

DECEPTIOns AS PRACTICED
often But Not Always Injurious to
Heaith-some Coal Tar Dyes
Harmless.

T. J. Bryan, analyst of the Illinois
state food commission, has issued a
bulletin on coloring matter in articles
prepared for food in which he says:
The use of coloring matter in food
products has recently received much
attention from food officials and the
drastic action in some cases has led
| TO Il somewhat general adoption of a
false opinion regarding the Injurious
character of these substances. 1t is
necessary that these false ideas should
| be corrected and that the individual
should not be governed by a false pre-
JUDGE in the purchase of food
Carried to Extreme.
The use of color in food products has
! been carried to an extreme. In some
cases the ingredients furnishing the
natural color TO the food are seldom
used and dyes are substituted. An
instance OF this is found in lemon eX-
! tract whose natural yellow color is de-
| rived from the peel. The peel is now
| seldom used and aniline dyes are i'll
general use to supply the desired col
or. This custom is of long standing
and has given rise TO the false idea
| that the depth of color shows the
strength of the extract This idea is
directly opposed by the facts. The
manufacturer Of the cheaper extracts
generally puts in the most artificial
color and the best extracts naturally
cOlored though possessing marked
color when freshly prepared. soon lose
all or nearly all of it. We have ever
found a lemon extract that was color
less or nearly so that did not conform
TO the standard of pure lemon extract

percentage of the highly colored
brands are found below standard Zero

strawberries. etc. soon lose their ma
tural red color but the artificially col
Ored brands are commonly accepted by
the people as the best.
Color CouceaI> Bad Fruit.
The color conceals the presence Of
all partially ripened and defective
fruit so that the consumer is deceived
by the appearance In this way ami
line dyes, vegetable and animal or min

make it difficult or impossible for the
purchasers to judge OF the quality of
the food he is purchasing; or else the
color makes the article look more de
sirable than it really is as judged by
its real food value Looked at from
this standpoint all coIors not natural
to a specific article of food should be
prohibited from use in that food.
There are some articles of food, as
cOlorcd sugars. most candies. etc, in
which the color used does not Indicate
TO the purchaser anything in regard TO
the purity. quality or flavor of the food

color in such cases is added purely and

colors harmless.
Mineral colors except ultramarines
and certain compounds of iron are re-
garded as harmful. Animal and vege-
table colors are considered harmless.
Aniline dyes. coal tar colors and syn
thetic colors are different names for
the same substance. These are class
ed as a whole by some inexperienced
and uneducated persons as poisonous.
This classification is false Some coal
tar colors are harmful and many are
harmless. Each color must be stamp
ed as poisonous. harmful or harmless.

Many OF these colors have been fed to
dogs and Guinea pigs in an effort to
detect their poisonous or non-poisOn-
Gus character. The results have shown
some to be harmful and others harm
less.
DO Net Affect Health.
So far as their effect on health is
concerned. the coal tar colors which
have proved harmless TO small animals
such as the Guinea pig. even when adj
ministered continuously in large doses,
may be safely added TO food as any
vegetable or animal color.
The true objection to the use of col
or in food products is that color fire.

tanning added color is conspicuously
labeled "Artiicially Colored." the CON
sumner is put on his guard. This com

campaign against all foods Except
butter and cheese in which color is
permitted by law containing added
color are not so labeled. When not 50
