body of consumers for still further
improvements in the methods in
vogue in many food factories.
One of the points overlooked IN the
original act was the treatment of
peaches and apricots in canning
plants. 1t is the practice of many
cauneries to immerse peaches in a
boiling solution of caustic soda and
allow the fruit to stew in this chemi-
cal until the skins of the fruit are
eaten loose. The fruit is then put
through several washings until the
SKINS are washed away. This pro-
cess is about cent and a half or
two cents can cheaper than peeling
by knife. Those who are calling
attention to this chemical treatment
say that the use of the I've is not the
worst feature of the process, con-
tend that in order to use this cheap
peeling process it is necessary to use
green and unripe frult for canning.
Ripe fruit will not stand the lye-
process but becomes discolored and
dist tegrated IN the caustic soda.

peaches have is killed by the lye

treatment SO that the result is
woody, tasteless, canned peach which
depends for flavor on the syrup
which is added in the canning pro-
cess.
The way to tell repealed peach
is to wash away the syrup aud then
taste the fruit. If 1t Is tasteless a nd
pulpy the chances are it is iYe-
peeled peach.
In the several washings to which
the peach is subjected after it is
peeled by lye, most Of the chemical
undoubtedly washed away but if any
of it is left the consumer gets it with
his fruit.
Congress did not mention this
subject In the pure food laws, conse-
quently the Gamers who use this
method are not compelled to state
the fact on thciy labels. The present
agitation has for its purpose the en-
actment of a measure to remedy this
defect.
If this movement proves success
full every Gamer will have to state
on his label if the peaches he used
were peeled by caustic soda or any
other chemical. That of course will
pat the question right up to the
consumer. If they would as soon
eat fruit which has been soaked 10
I've they can do so. Many of course
will prefer to have their fruit han
died in the good old fashioned kitch-
en- way, by knife peeling, which also
means much for the quality of canned
fruit by Keeping intact the original
fruit favor.
The last two year, have seen a
great advance 10 the methods used
IN various canncrics and with the
new law a still further advance in
the direction If Wholesome produc-
tion vii. be assured Wheq the
processes employed in cannerles are
knUwn to be perfectly who esome,
there will be a greater use of canned
fruits and the final result viii be
profitable for all concerned, inclui-
ing the farmer who wall get q great
er market for his product.
