ONLY FRUIT EXTRACTS
AT SODA FOUNTAINS.
Vinegar Made from Cider Only to Be
Considered Pure.

Washington, Oct. 10.-An order for
the immediate consideration of the per-
picking questions What is beer ~
What is vinegar" and What is a
soft drink" was passed this afternoon
by the board of food and drug inspec-
ton.
These three pure food problems have
been under consideration for nearly
TWO years, but members of the board
I have been unable to agree The re-
tirement Of Solicitor George P. McCaIbe
and The temporary, absence of DR. F. T..
Dunlap from the board leaves DIR.
Wiley and DIR. r. e. Doolittle, the new
member, prepared to take immediate
action to settle the long standing con-
troversies.
Vinegar will be the first subject con-
sidered by the board. 1t is the con-
tention of DIR. Wiley that pure vinegar
should be made only from cider, and
that vinegars made from malt. sugar,
molasses, wine and other ingredients
should not be branded as pure vinegar
IL is understood that DIR. Doolittle, who
is the vinegar expert of the depart
ment of agriculture, holds a similar
view. and that the board of food and
drug inspection is likely to make a
ruling soon in line with DR.. Wiley's
views.
Action against soft drinks sold at
soda fountains can apply only to the
drinks as they are shipped in inter-
state commerce.
The pure soft drink should con-
| tain only a pure fruit extract, sugar
spice and pure wafer" said Dr. Wiley
| today. IF l had my way no other soft
drinks would be permitted in the mar
ket. The health of children should
not be endangered by the artificial
! sweeteners, ooloring matter and flaw
/ ors that are sometimes used, and the
! public should be protected against the
/ caffeine and dope that finds its way
/ into many of the drinks
