no GUARD AGAINST
/ FRAUD IN FOOD
Detroit Ethical Association, Now
Forming, Plans To Protect Public
Doctors and Laymen Interested.

A movement Is now under way IN
Detroit which will eliminate, within
the next month, In the organization
OF the Detroit Ethical association, the
purpose OF which will be to protect

bent food products, and, incidentally,
against advertising calculated to pro-
mote the sale of such products.
DR.. K. l.. Shurly and DIR. John +.
Clark, county chemist, are taking the
Initiative In the movement and have
enlisted the hearty support and CO.
operation of the medical profession
as well as a number of prominent lay
men. The association. as the present
plans contemplate, will gather its in
formation largely from the govern
ment reports on adulterated and
fraudulently branded products, and
will try to disseminate il through
the newspapers as news matter. II
the newspapers, for business or other
reasons, decline to publish il, then the
association will put the information
in pamphlet form and distribute these
Pamphlets broadcast throughout the
"In organizing such society We
are prompted by the fact that while
the government has been making
large number OF seizures Of fraudulent
food products, very few OF these seiz-
ures have become public except
through the medical journals and
trade papers," said DR.. Shurly to The
Times. "The general public has no
conception or the extent to which the
adulteration Of food, both for man and
animals, is being carried on, and II
will be the business OF our assocta-
ton to acquaint the people with the
facts, so that they will no longer be
misled by untruthful statements con-
tanned in labels or advertisements.
DR.. Shurly now has in his posses
sion government reports on numerous
cases OF misbranding and adulteration.
In one OF these cases coffee was adul-
terated by coating the beans with
lead chromate, a poisonous substance,
which caused the coffee to weigh
more. He also has reports on the
'adulteration Of lemon and vanilla ex-
tracts, -four and bottled beer, none
OF which has come to the attention
OF the general public.
II Is explained that the organization
plans will be perfected early in June.

REMARKABLE TRANSFORMATION
AMONG THE RED SKINS

pee has given place to the log cabin
or the small house of rough planks
even among the least enlightened.
Officials of the Indian office, as well
as agents In the field, are well aware
that 1t will be a real sacrifice for the
Indian to give UP his dance. He has
stuck to 1t for generations. and even
for centuries In some instances. For
example, the war dance and the medi-
cine dance are considered the highest
social functions OF the Indian feast
day. On those days the Indian shines
In all Of his old time glory. The bucks
wear their best togs-feather bedecked
costumes and many colored paints
while the squaws take part in their
finest gowns.
The authorities here know how
welded the Indian is to his finery.
They believe, however, that in the
course Of decade they can get the
Indian to quit his feathers and skins
and paints for fine potatoes, beautiful
fields of grain, pretty horses, fattened
cattle and the like. They believe the
fair will do the work.
