Truthful Labels on Canned Goods lr
a Requisite.

Determined effort f. being made by
the manufacturers Of canned goods
throughout the country TO induce the
secretary OF agriculture 20 defer the
enforcement Of the provision Of the
pure food act which requires the label
on canned goods 10 state tho sub.
stance OF the product and the place Of
manufacture. The chief argument
used In making the appeal Is that the
manufacturers have already had
printed labels. costing at least $780,.
600. that would be lost by the enforce
ment OF the act.
The argument Of the amer viii
not hold. They have had ample no.
tee OF the operation OF the law and
all Of IT'S provisions. and II must be
their loss II they have not made prep
arations for observing the federal act
Incidentally. the fact that their present
labels do not meet the requirements
or the law, In other words. do not
state Ia substance the contents Of the
can, Is the best argument in the world
Tor the destruction Of the labels and
the printing OF new ones that will give
the customer some substantial hint OF
what he IS buying. The time is past
when a manufacturer can mix a little
water and glucose and label it Pure
Vermont A.aple Syrup. or pass can
ned rabbit on for Select Canned
Chicken. The man or woman who
buys Choice Canned Veal" wants
some assurance that the can is not
filled with goat meat or something
less palatable. When the purchaser
pays the price for a big tin Of York
State Apples he does not want to
be disturbed aud angered by opening
Il TO find Il filled with parodies on the
original Garden OF Eden fruit.
The label question Is a simple one.
II the manufacturers have supplies OF
them that do not meet all OF the re-
quirements Of the federal law. the
defect may be remedied by the use OF
"stickers" supplying the omissions.
II the labels were prepared for the de-
cepuon Of the customer, they should
have never been used al all and the
sooner they are destroyed the better
for al concerned. In the matter OF
canned goods. most Of the Americans
are from Missouri.

TRADE With CUBA
S25O,OOO,OOO
EXPORTS FROM UNITED STATES
TO ISLAND HAS INCREASED
125 PER CENT.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The trade
Of this country with Cuba during the
fiscal year just end d amounted to
nearly s15O,OO0, 900 The Imports
from Cuba amounted to $97 1850
and the exports from the United
States to Cuba reached a value OF
$40 .305,274, both OF which exceed in
amount that of any other previous
year
There has been a steady increase in
trade each year between these two
countries. The imports from the is.
land now exceed by more than fifteen
per cent the highest point reached at
any time when Cuba was under Span.
ish rule, the goods exported BY this
country to Cuba have more han dou-
bled in the past ten years.
1t is shown by a statement just
prepared by the bureau of statistics
of the department of commerce and
labor that the imports from Cuba have
increased about so per cent and ex-
ports to the island from this country
have increased 125 per cent since De-
cember, 1908, when the reciprocity
treaty went into effect. The imports
from Cuba amounted to s62,S42,7s0
and the exports s21. 761 .63S in 1908.
During the year just closed the
most noticeable increase in exports
was in sugar and tobacco, which
amounted to s7O,637, 2SS, and s17,417'
3S3 respectively.
