The Philadelphia Record is a high
~ respectable and . thoroughly re-
sponsiole newspaper, and it makes
some statements that are simply
startling In its discussion OF cold
storage OF foods throughout the
country. The Record says its infor-
nation Is obtained from the oficial
guide-book. circulated only among
cold-storage men," and from figures
therein II appears that there are nov
In cold storage In the United States
the carcasses of 14.00o,00O cattle,
100000 calves, 25,0oo.000 sheep
and lambs. and 50.o0o.0U0 hogs, or
one animal for each adult in the
United States, with enough whole
animals left over to kapply each fam
II with two carcasses.
This meat Is deposited In 55S
plants, in which is also stored fish
10 the value OF $25.000,000. The
Record further finds that in other
cold-storage plants there are 150.-
OU0,000 dozen eggs and 130.00O,000
pounds of butter and fruits worth
$o0,000,U00. The Record continues:
Besides, there are millions of
pounds Of potatoes aud onions, thou
sands Of turtles, eeis. cases of canned
goods, and milk. butter, and cheese
avlued at s1O0,G00,000." And 1t Is
estimated that the total value of
foods put in cold storage each year
approaches $3.000.0G0,000.
If that be correct statement,
Congress can blow out its lantern.
The malefactor who makes high
prices Is found. How much of this
stuff is unfit for food 1t Is impossi-
BILE to estimate; but an egg has re-
Gently been identified in Indiana that
went into cold storage in 1907 and
was sold for sood in 1910.
Under the interstate commerce
clause Congress has power to greatly
discipline the cold-storage forestall-
ers; but the States must complete
the business. There should be a
time limit fixed for the storage of
foods in such repositories. and other
regulations should be made, such as
rigid periodical inspections and la
beling of articles offered for sale.
