Dr.. Wiley Addresses Congress on

WASHINGTON March 1s-An urgent plea for pure
food in the household was made to-day by Dr-
Harvey W. Wiley chief of the bureau Of chemistry
of the Department of Agriculture, in an address
before the International Congress the Welfare
OF the Child, which is being held under the auspices
Of the National Mothers Congress
Dr. Wiley emphasized the importance Of the
mothers country being eternaIly vigilant as
the Of food products that come into their
homes to that they fresh, uncontaminated.
palatable and wholesome. The effect Of such ac-
ton the part Of the mothers, he said, would be
most salutary.
Dr. Wiley said the best means Of executing the
pure food law is in the household If every mis-
tress OF household in this country should demand
pure foods,' he declared, there would be little
difficulty in the courts, and manufacturers would
making things which the mothers OF
this country would refuse to buy for in their
families"
He added that there should be cry against
the mixing of certain substances with foods to
make them palatable He called attention to the
great Importance Of purity in such articles but
ter, maple syrup honey and particularly Of all
dairy supplies
Especially where there are children in the
house, said he, 'the Importance Of the purity of
the milk cannot be sufficiently accentuated The
actual danger to health and actual threat of death
in the of infants that fed impure milk
among the greatest curses of the country
DR.. Wiley advocated the formation OF union
of the mistresses of households. which, he said.
by singeness of purpose unity of action and power
Of organization could obtain better conformity
to the law than vigilance on the part Of execu-
tors of the law would be able to accomplish.
my plea therefore, is he said, 'in order to
secure pure food in the household, that this and
similar organizations unite to compel the
and dealers in foodstus to stop all adul
eratons, to stop all misbranding to stop all color
ing, all deception and furnish the pure unadul
