WASHINGTON. D.. c. June al
The first compilation or expressions
of prominent physicians I'm regard 10
the use of benzoate of soda IN ketch-
up. dairy products, meat products
etc. shows that while in view OF the
RemsSn boards experiments some are
not prepared to say that small guam
titles OF the drug may not he useu
without harmful effect upon the
healthy persons. the opinion Is unani-
nous that no benefit to the consumer
can be had from taking IL into the
system in any quantity Whatever
Coupled with this negative opinion
is the unanimous conclusion that III
the case Of children and invalids'
with which classes the physicians are
most concerned. the effect OF chem-
cally preserved foods cannot but be
Injurious. Those who have given the
subiect deepest consideration believe
that the upsetting of the conclusions
reached BIZ the Department of Agri-
culture that the use Of benzoate OF
soda should be prohibited. is but the
entering wedge to the overturnlng OF
emasculating of the pure FOOD law.
Exerinent are now being made by the
Remsen board with the sulphuritting
OF fruits with the probabilities favoring
q conclusion that in this case also
the Department of Agriculture went
astray and the possibility Of future
ruling permitting this practice. Be
hind these two comes horax and FOR
maldehyde and already tentative
"feelers" are being sent out to the ell
feet that after all there is a. chance
that borax has ben sent unjusuy con-
demned and it's use should be per-
mitted These facts give ground to
the suspicion that a concerated move
ment is on foot to undo the good done
and to restore conditions. as far as
preservativas are concerned, to what
they we're before the passage of the
National Pure Food Law. The Asso-
citation of State and National Dairy
and Food Departments, which fought
so hard for the pure food law, Is
grayeIy concerned about these insid-
ious attacks upon this statute and at
its meeting in August at Denver, COLI
will consider ways and means to pre-
serve the Law in its integrity and en-
tirety.
The first victory for the ''preser-
