UNCLE SANS MEAT FOODS o. K.
Scotch Board Shows Favorable Com
parision With British Products.

The medical department of the local
government board in Scotland in a report
covering analyses of British and Ameri-
can meat foods, packed in tins and glass,
sets forth facts which go long way to-
ward discrediting persistent rumors cir
culated abroad against the purity of
American meats, according to Consul
Maxwell Blake of Dunfermline.
The investigation disclosed that a large
amount of hams and bacon of British
origin are converted into prepared foods, a
large amount of which is found on analy-
sis to contain boric personalities. The
examination of samples disclosed that
American products contain only 10 per cent
preservatives while British manufactu-
rers attempted to contradict the justice
of the findings on the ground that many
OF the products used for canning purposes
were of American origin. The official
report, however, contradicted this con-
tentiOn.
