WORK FOR CONGRESS
Defects In Pure Food Law 10 Be Re.
rnedied at Next Session.
CANNING METHODS BEING IN
PROVED. .s.s5z

When Congress meets in December,
one OF the questions to be thrasheds
out will undoubtedly be. the revision
of the pure food laws to meet the de-
mands Of the general body of conslm-
ers for still further improvements in
the methods in vogue in many food
factories. 81.
One OF the points overlooked in the
original act. was the treatment Of
peaches and apricots in canning
plants. It is the practice Of many
canneries to immense peaches in
boiling solution of caustic soda. and
allow the fruit to stew in this cheni-5
ca 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 atten-
ton to this chemical treatment say
that the use of the I've is not the
worst feature Of the process, but CON
tend that in order to use this cheap
peeling process it is necessary to use
green and unriDe fruit for canning.
Ripe fruit will not stand the lye-pro-
cess, but becomes discolored and dis
integrated in the caustic soda. The
little favor which the unripe peaches
have is killed by the I've treatment so
that the result Is a woody, tasteless,
canned peach, which depends for
flavor on the syrup which is added in
the canning process.
The way to tell a lye-reeled peach
is to wash away the syrup and then
taste the fruit. If it is taste.ess and
pulpy the chances are it is a lye-peel.
ed peach.
In the several washings to which
the peach is subjected after it is peel.
ed by I've. most of the chemical is UNI.
doubtedly washed away, but if any Of
it is left the consumer gets it with
his fruit. -.
Congress did not mention this sub
ject in the pure food laws, consequent
ly the Gamers who use this method,
are not compelled to state the fact
on their labels, The present agitation
has fer its purpose the enactment Of
measure to remedy this defect. -
If this movement proves successful
every Gamer will have to state on his
label it the peaches he used were peel
ed by caustic soda, or any other
chemical. That of course will put the
question right up to the cons umer. If
they would as soon eat fruit which
has been soaked in I've, they can do
So. Many of course will prefer to
have their fruit handled in the good
old fashioned kitchen way, by knife
peeling, which also means much for
the quality Of canned fruit by keeping
intact the original fruit flavor. So
The last two years have seen a
great advance in the methods used In
various canneries, and with the new
law still further advance in the
direction OF wholesome production
will be assured. When the processes
employed In canneries are known to
be perfectly wholesome, there win be
greater use OF canned fruits, and
the final results will be profitable for
all concerned, including the farmer
who will get greater market for his
product.

BISHOP HOSS RESTING EASY
Will Be Operated on at Baltimore
Infirmary.

Baltimore, Md Bishop +. f. Hoss, of
Nashville, who arrived here Wednesday
to undergo an operation at the Johns
Hopkins Hospital for intestinal trouble,
is resting easily. Upon the advice of
DIR. Hugh II. Young, the specialist who
will treat him, the bishop is still CON
fined to his bed at the Hotel Rennert
and will remain there until Sunday
morning, before being removed to the
hospital DR.. Young is DESTROYS of al
lowing the bishop complete rest from
his long journey before operating. The
operation will be performed next week.
In the meantime, the bishop is being de-
MED the privilege of seeing any visitors,
for he has many friends in Baltimore.
The aiment from which he is suffering
will necessitate serious operation, and
everything is now being done to allow
the bishop to gather sufficient strength
to stand the ordeal. Improvement in
his condition cannot be possible until the
surgeons knife has been used, said the
doctor.

GEORGIA WHISKY MEN LOSE
Will Have to Pay Rentals on Prop
erty Closed by Prohibition.

Atlanta Ga.-Persons in Georgia who
leased property at high figures for bar
room purposes, without so STIMULATING
in their contract, must still pay high
rentals, though bar-rooms have been
closed by Statewide prohibition law, ac.
cording to supreme court decision hand.
ed down Thursday.
The court holds that the passage of
law prohibiting the sale of whisky con.
stitutes no abatement of the rent of
property used for that purpose, unless
it has been so stipulated in the rental
contract.
The decision was made in the Albion
Hotel ease, from Augusta. The lessee
refused to pay full rental after prohi
bition forced the closing of the hotel bar.
The court holds that the fact that the
lessee took the hotel, thinking he could
continue the sale of whisky, does not
cntitle him to an abatement or diminu-
ton of the rent, since there was no
covenant on the part of the landlord.
Decision means landlords will collect
thousands of dollars from whisky men
whom the State put out of business.

TAFT DAY AT NEW ORLEANS
President-Elect Is Honored Guest at
Creole Feast.

New Orleans, La.-President-elect
Taft breathed the distinctive atmos-
pherc of New Orleans hospitality Fri
day. With the shades OF evening there
gathered about him at the banquet
board a genial host, multiplied by emf
nence, rank and distinction.
The entertainment feature was a
Creole banquet, where the fattened oys-
tiers, the savoriness of the cuisine, with
its hundreds of years of perfection and
reputation blended with the honeyed
words of compliment and oratory, music
and floral tributes into scene of ami
nation and vivacity, tempered with re-
spect and dignity. Mr.. Taft was toasted
by the governor, the mayor, by citizens
of prominence and speakers of reputa-
ton.
Mr.. Taft responded in the spirit of
{ no occasion. He talked of his desire as
the chief executive to represent the
whole nation, and of his intention to
make the representatives of the admin
in the South represent the best
element of the communities in which
they lived

WILL STUDY BOIL WEEWL
chronological Laboratory to Be Es-
tablished in Delta.

Washington.-The appropriation for
the bureau of entomology was increased
by the house in order to enable the de-
partment of agriculture to establish an
chronological laboratory somewhere in
the delta of Mississippi or Louisiana. 1t
is the opinion of the chief of that bu-
reau that the climatic conditions in those
sections being so different from any I'M
der which the boil weevil has heretofore
existed may develop new life and hab-
it's, and that a close study of these may
be helpful in the effort now being made
to discover some means for his destruc-
ton.
DR.. Howard, chief of the bureau, be.
lieves he has already discovered Il para
site which will work havoc among the
weevil and as they continue their prog
ress across the cotton states it is his
opinion that the new parasites will con-
tinue to attack them. 1t is, therefore,
necessary to be watchfu, in order to dis
cover these exterminating parasites when
they appear.

Chicago What appeared to be an or

Telegraph and telephone communication

snow and sleet which covered the ground
and made transportation next to impos-
sible. The storm was accompanied by
heavy sleet and snow, and the velocity

Various Legislatures are now break
ing out with freak bills designed to
create boom in the business of Cupid
& Hymen. In Wisconsin tax is pro-
posed on bachelors and state bureau
to provide wouid-be benedicts with
wives. A bill in Texas proposes not
only tax on all bachelors under 10.
but also that bachelors who do not
propose at least once year to at least
one woman shall be made to pay a
double tax. And yet says Baltimore
American, some misguided women are
wasting their energies crying for the
ballot. SO they can affect legislation.
