PUBLIC FAILS TO

PURE FOOD LAW

Is Needed.
ROTTEN EGGS FREELY
USED, SAYS EXPERT
He Sometimes Wonders If Hens
Really Lay Fresh Eggs
These Days.

THE efforts of the authorities in the
administration of the food and drugs
act have beer eminently successful,
but the efforts of the public to secure
the benefits contemplated In the act
have failed completely"
This remarkable statement was made
by DR.. H. II. Rusby, of this city, assoc
ciate of DR.. Wiley, government pure
food expect, speaking In h First
Presbyterian Church, South Orange,
last night.
1.-THE State of New Jersey provides
exactly two inspectors to investigate
all the offenses against the food and
drugs act" aid DIR. Rusby. He then
explained that these men are hampered
in their work and can accomplish little
or no good. He continued: Their are
food manufacturers in this State, and
within a few miles of where we are
gathered, who are ready at any time to
pay the insignificant fine imposed by
our irresponsible courts and continue
their evil doing"
Earlier in his address DR.. Rusby said
that the strongest of all influences
among those interested in good govern
ment Is political craftsmanship. This,
according to the speaker, has frustrated
the efforts of men interested in good
government, and has subordinated re-
ligion and morals. He declared that
not until this order was reversed would
good hold the upper hand over evil.
DR.. Rusby referred to DR.. Henry L.
Colts statement that not less han
200, 900 infants die annually before
reaching their third year from causes
the most of which could be avoided by
correct processes of nutrition. He
then showed that most of these infants
are obliged to subsist on an artificial
diet, and that unless the milk dealers
are honest the physicians plans are
upset and the child's health impaired.
Poor Coffee, Rotten EGGS.
Speaking of the practises of dealers
and manufacturers, DR.. Rusby said:
Roasted beans and other substances
are freely added to coffee and rotten
eggs used to coat them with an attrac-
tive Tolish.
"The use of rotten eggs has been so
enormous that | wonder If our hens
really lay any fresh eggs in these
modern times.
"Our cream cheese is made from par
TALLY SKINNED milk IN is sometimes
labelled Double Cream
"Our cream itself is frequently partly
.cottonseed oil and other oils.
Butter is made from other fats or,
UNNECESSARILY worse, from the fat OF
dead animals.
I'm nothing else is there such need
of reform as in the manufacture of
ice-cream. | sometimes doubt whether
there is such a thing as absolutely pure
ice-cream.
at is claimed that the basis of some
of the most advertised breakfast cere-
ais, especially of the bran food lass,
is the waste Wel NAH from brewers
establishments.
''The use of imitation coffee beans,
moulded from colored mud, has been
regarded as a joke of exaggeration,
but one of our own household left us
to marry a mar whose business it was
to manufacture the moulds to be used
in the making of this coffee.
probably the most common form of
adulteration in confectionery is the
addition of large amounts of a peculiar
fine white clay found in the Carolinas
and which blends admirably with the
powdered sugar employed by confec-
toner's"
