PURE FOOD BOARD RULING
Issues Order for the Reduction
of Water in Canned
Goods.

The pure food board Of the Department
OF Agriculture has issued a ruling that
the amount of water added to canned
goods to increase their weight and bulk
must be reduced. 1t is the first decision
of the board, it is explained, that looks
toward the establishment Of standard
for foods and that directly affects the
housekeeper in the material she is buy
ing for the table.
Text of the Ruling.
The decision. so important in its bear
ing to the consumer of canned goods, in
full, is as follows:
THE can in canned food products
serves not only as a container, but also
as an index of the quantity of food
therein. 1t should be as full of food as is
practicable for packing and processing
without injuring the quality or appear
ance of the contents. Some food products
may be canned without the addition of
any other substances whatever for
example, tomatoes. The addition of
water In such instances is deemed adul-
teration. Other foods may require the
addition of water, brine, sugar or strip,
either to combine with the food for Its
proper preparation or for the purpose
Of sterilization-for instance, peas. In
this case the can should be packed as
full as practicable with the peas and
should contain only sufficient liquor to fill
the interstces and cover the product.
Authorizations Explained.
Canned foods, therefore. will be deem
ed to be adulterated If they are found to
contain water, brine, strip, sauce or sim
liar substances in excess Of the amount
necessary for their proper preparation
and sterilization.
1T has come to the notice of the de-
partment that pulp prepared from trim
mings, cores and other waste material is
sometimes added to canned tomatoes. 1t
is the opinion of the board that pulp is
not normal ingredient of canned to-
matoes, and such addition is therefore
adulteration. 1t is the further opinion of
the board that the addition of tomato
juice in excess of the amount present in
the tomatoes used is adulteration-that is,
IL in the canning of a lot of tomatoes
more juice be added than is present in that
lot the same will be considered an adLl-
teration.'

Unrestricted Delegates Control.

A dispatch from Greensboro, n. c., says
that with returns from IS of the 100
counties In North Carolina, which Satur-
day held county conventions, the question
Of whether the Wilson or Underwood
forces were in control rests solely with
the uninstructed delegations. The counties
have a total voting strength in
the state convention of 100 out of 976
votes. OF these 100 votes more than half,
or 446, are uninstructed.
