There is already an ordinance

to get them enforced. If there is

1t is said that the cannedgoods
trade is beginning to speculate as
to what will be the result of the
Government ruling with regard to
canned tomatoes. The decision
reached by the Pure Food Board
forbids the addition of water and of
any more of the juice of the tomato
than just is necessary to properly
process it. 1t is, of course, i'm
possible to prepare tomatoes with
out some liquid. 1t is agreed that
the effect which this new regulation
will have will be che standard of
the pack will be raised by the elm
ination of large percentage of the
inferior grade called seconds
and offstandards, and this will
probably reduce the pack. Growers
prices, it seems, are improved by
the situation. Only those pack srs
who have been putting out an in
ferior article will be injured by the
Government ruling; the trade as a
whole will be benefited because
improvement in the pack is certain
to bring about an increase in the
consumption of canned goods.
