CATSUP IS
COMMON
State Board of Health Hears
of Scheme That Restau-
rant and Hotel Men Have
to Defraud Their Pat
rons.
TIMES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 1S.-The state
board of health has got on" to a
smooth scheme that is being worked
by some Of the restaurant keepers and
also some of the keepers of cheap ho-
tells in the state, in order to get around
the pure food law. Nearly everywhere
the inspectors go they find this scheme
being worked, and it is hard to get at
to stop it.
The pure food law prohibits the use
of any kind of preservative in tomato
catsup except a very small amount OF
benzoate of soda. This is limited to
one-tenth OF one per cent, and if a
manufacturer uses more than percent
age of benzoate of soda he is liable tc
prosecution for violation of the pure
food law.

People Examine Labels.

1t is well known that some of the
leading brands of tomato catsup con-
tain no benzoate or any other preserva-
tive( and since this has become known
these brands are having an enormous
sale. When you sit at a restaurant
table nowadays you will notice peo-
pie pick up a tomato catsup bottle and
examine the name of the maker and
the brand
Restaurant keepers have learned this
too. They have found the customers
examining the bottles. The higher
grades of tomato catsup cost a little
more than the preserved kinds, so
many of the restaurant keepers have
adopted the plan of buying first sup
ply of the unpreserved catsup in bot
ties and when the bottles are about
half emptied they fill them UP with cat
sup made of the cheaper materials and
| preserved with benzoate OF soda. This
! reflling process is continued as long
as the label on the bottle remains in
a presentable condition and retains the
1 appearance of a comparatively new
! bottle. The average customer takes it
| for granted that the contents of the
| catsup bottle are just what the label
| says they are and he goes ahead and
| cats the stuff

Heavy Fine May Follow.


This is the scheme that has been dis
covered by the state inspectors in vari-
Gus parts of the state. Instances of
this kind have come to light in South
Bend, Fort Wayne, Richmond and sew
eral other places. The difficulty about
the whole think is that the inspector,
every time he finds a case OF this kind,
must send a sample of the catsup to
the stae laboratory to be analysed, and
this takes a long time before a prose
cution can be started
Every time a restaurant keeper prae-
tees this deception he not only i'm
poses on his customers by serving them
with inferior food, but he violates the
pure food laws as we'll and is liable TO
a heavy fine. Some Of the catsup man
ufacturers, the ones who use preserva-
tives in their goods. generally use rot
ten and inferior tomatoes In making
their catsup This of itself is a viola
ton of the law. The makers use ben
zoate Of soda or some other species of
preventative to prevent further decay
of the contents and then by the liberal
use OF salt and spices the flavor of the
catsup is made to appear pretty good,
and the consumer does not know that
he is being guncoed.
Some Catsup Unit For Market
The state laboratory has made many
analyses of samples Of tomato catsur
produced by numerous manufacturers,
and If the results were published and
fully understood by the people these
brands would be driven off the market
H e. Barnard, state food and drug
commissioner, insists that the use OF
preservatives in tomato catsup is Who'll
" unnecessary. provided the manu-
facturer uses the right quality of ma
teriaI in the making of catsup.
The action of the crooked restaurant
keepers. however. who refill the high
grade bottles with low grade goods is
causing the health department some
anxiety, and a plan is being formed tc
put a stop to the practice.

HAS NO FEAR OF INVASION
Laurier Says Anglo-Saxons Will
Never War with Each Other.

Laurier Says Anglo-Saxons VIII
Never War with Each Other.
A statement Of Canada's view as to
the impossibility of future trouble
with the United States was made at
an artillery luncheon in Ottawa by
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, prime minister
of Canada. He said:
Canada has but little to fear that
she will ever be invaded. We have
but one neighbor on this continent,
the United States. While our from
tier has been crossed in the past, my
belief and the belief of Canadians
generally, is that among the great
Anglo-Saxon nations civilization has
reached a point where the shedding
of blood among them would be re-
garded with horror equal to that with
which a civil war would be contem-
plated. There is not reason to be-
lieve that Great Britain and the Unit
ed States will ever again be at war,
or that Canadians will ever live in
any but peaceful relations with their
cousins, the great people OF the Unit
ed States"

|SUNNYS|DE HAS
PUBLIC REST ROOM
WOMEN OF THE CITY ESTAB.
LISHED ROOM FOR CONVENT
ENCE OF PEOPLE COMING IN
FROM THE COUNTRY.

Sunnyside has a public convent
ence that Wenatchee women have
often talked of as being a very cry
ing need and there have been spas
modic attempts made to establish a
public rest room here for women, but
so far there has been nothing decis-
i've done
| Sunnyside is small town of about
1900 inhabitants in the fertile val
| ley of Yakima. This valley is set
tied quite thickly, and while there
are many large ranches, the major
| ity are small ranches-twenty, for
| ty or eighty acres-anj are tributary
to this city, so a great many people
drive here to trade. If it happens
to be windy or dusty the visitors pre-
sent a dishevelled and often de-
moralized appearance and would like
some convenient room where they
could retouch their toilet and restore
that harmonious and chic complete
ness so dear to both men and wO-
men.
The necessity existed and a few
energetic women saw it and deter
mined to do something, but they had
not a penny to start with; anyway,
they started. The Public Rest Room
club sprang into existence. There
are a president, secretary and treas
urer and an executive board. The
president is hustling, capable wo-
man. A room in the business por-
ton of Sunnyside was rented. The
first months rent was donated to
Offset the expense of putting the
room in order; it was papered and
made as cozy as possible. Tables,
stoves, floor coverings, rockers and
other chairs, couch and other fur
niture and filings were donated or
loaned, many of them not entirely
new. The telephone was also donat-
ed. Bread, pies and cake were free
ly given for sale and a present OF
about SO potatoes sacks, which were
sold at cents each. So Sunnyside
had a place where men, women and
children could come in and enjoy a
warm fire, a rocking chair, papers, |
books and magazines. There is no
charge for any of these comforts, but
box for freewill offerings stands
upon the table.
Men know where to find their
wives when they are through shop
ping, and friends meet one another
there.
The club is not money-making
scheme, as no one gets a cent but
the matron. There is also library
of about 500 books, including the
latest and best. The merchants con-
tribute monthly about rs cents and
upwards, which more than pays the
rent, and any surplus is used to add
another comfort to the rooms. Dur
ing the one year of its life about
1000 visits were paid to the rest
room, and the merchants look upon
it as a good business investment.
The new quarters have four rooms
library, dining room, kitchen and
room for ladies and babies.
