better.

The Danger..Of Food Adulteration

The time has come when
every housekeeper who regards
the health of her family must
know where she stands on the
question of food adulteratiou
$780, Scientific knowledge and
unscrupulus greed have joined
hands to pollute human food for
the sake of money making To
understand the situation its eX-
tent and its dangers is the right
and the duty of every intelli-
gent housekeeper. To this end,
and analytical chemist, who is
we'll known as an investigator
of adulterated foods and d lect.
urer to.American housewives, DIR.

terview to a representative of
The New Idea Woman's Maya
zine, which appears in the
August issue. He explains
the existing conditions, dictates
their peril and gives some valu-
BILE information on the detection
of impurities in food.

Southern Nebraska also at this
date was reporting impairment
of wheat from the insects in
roads. Ohio and Indiana about
this time noted its presence in
oat-felds, and it was reported
on the western edge of Missouri.
The green bug" is an impor-
tation, first described in Italy in
1852. In 1884 it was found 10
Maryland, though not in dam
aging numbers. In 1890 it APP
peared in Indiana, devastating
the oats in some counties. II
also in that year infested South
ern wheat-fieIds and was recog-
nlzed as pest, its operations
reaching north to latitude 80 de-
grees and 80 minutes. Ia 1901
it appeared in Texas, lessening
materially the crop yielus. Then
it created no anxiety until the
peculiar climatic conditions of
of the winter of 1906 z brought
it into renewed general activity.

The Green Bug RaVages I"

AS early as March, a month
marked by exceptionally high
temperature throughout the
Middle-West grain belt, the
''green bug's' ravages we've re-
ported from northern Texas,
with the pest, fostered by the
early opened spring, rapidly
working into Oklahoma. BY
April it had reached Kansas
and was damaging the southern
counties OF that State. A cam
paign of extirmination was be-
gun by the chronological de.
partment of Kansas University,
assisted by millers, grain deal.
ers, and commercial clubs. Over
$4,000 boxes of parasite enemies
of the grain louse were distrib-
uted in seventy counties where
need was greatest. This agen-
cy, together with the unfavor.
able weather of May, checked
the main armY's northward
progress, but not until it had
damaged seriously the southern
portion of the winter-wheat
area, particularly in Texas, Ok.
lahoma, and southern Kansas,
where thousands of acres were
totally destroyed. 1t infested
similarly southeastern Colorado,
where in early June farmers
plowed under much wheat be.

A Fraud.

According to the farm prod
uct statistical report sent out
from Jefferson City, the Little
Kingdom of Rails leads all coun-
ties in the state. 1t is credited
with S4, 727, 776, of which lime
and cement are 50, 654,27
The widest stretch OF the i'm.
agination, cannot place lime, a
factory product, in the farm
column. And even a crazy man
would not think of including
lead and zinc product of Joplin
in that column. Cement is as
surely mineral and then manu-.
featured as is lead and zinc
mined and smelted.
