is better to have too stringent laws in

[YE STEWED
PEACHES
That's What We Eat. Another
Pure Food Discussion.

The pure food agitation which has
been principally ever the question OF
benzoate of soda has now taken a new
turn and renewed interest will doubt
less be aroused over this question.
1t is said chat in most Of the can.
neries of the country peaches are
stewed in red-hot caustic soda to eat
away the skins and thereby save the
cost OF knife-peeling, the difference in
cost amounting to cent and half OF
two cents per can.
In the process Of this I've Stewing,
almost all the flavor of the peach dis
appeals and doubtless little caustic
soda is left on each piece Of fruit as a
memento of it's trip through the cam
merry.
Caustic soda strong enough to eat
away the skin Of an unripe peach
must be anything but soothing to the
inner man or child. The full signifi-
canoe of this is best understood in
connection with the fact that cauStie
soda is used in making many kinds of
soap; in fact, it is the dirt eating part
of soap.
It is said that the great majority of
the canneries use the lye process in
place Of the knife-peeliDg method.
time to get the Department of Agri-
culture to make ruling on this queS-
tion which would compel The Gamers
who use this method TO say Sc on the
labels Of their goods. 1t looks now as
if the question will be passed up to
Congress for a specific law covering
this phase of the pure food agitation.
The use of caustic soda is impossible
with ripe fruit because it discOlors a
ripe peach SO that it will not pas s
muster with the users of high-grade
canned fruits. In consequence this
process is possible only with unripe
fruit, and green fruit is purposely
gathered for canning.
Owing to the absence Of any marks
on the cans to indicate the use Of
caustic soda, the only way the Gus
toner can tell if he has purchased a
| lye-process can of fruit is by taste.
Open can of peaches, wash away the
syrup from a piece of fruit. Then
taste it. If it is void Of flavor woody
and pulpy. and has soapy appear
ance, it is undoubtedly the lye-peeled
variety.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumb1ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

beautiful custom. The holidays is a
time when kindly feelings and uni

manifestation of regard in the ex-
change of calls and presents. It is
the friendship expressed in the fact
that is valued. The cause and not
the effect occasions the pleasure. All
look forward to the happy holiday
times. when each is gladdened, and in
turn, makes others glad by tokens Of
honest regard and friendly feeling.

should keep the blessings they bring.
Hold fast to the lessons they have
taught. Keep the memory Of their
joys Enrich every day of life with
the garnered wealth of the days be-
hind. The years pass, but they leave
their treasure with US, if our hands
