.SACCHARINE MUST GO
Its Presence in Prepared Foods Will
No Longer Be Permitted.

Washington, Feb. 29.-By a vote of
? to l the board of cabinet officers
charged with the enforcement of the
pure food law today entered a final
decision against the use of saccharine
in prepared foods. Secretary Wilson
and Secretary Nagel confirmed the de-
cision that food containing saccharine
was adulterated. Secretary MacVeagh
One months grace will be given
manufacturers to arrange for the
elimination.
The decision settles a controversy of
nearly four years standing. Secretary
Wilson, by direction of former Presi-
dent Roosevelt referred the question
of the use of Saccharine in foods to
the Remsen board of scientific experts
for their investigation and report
After three years of experiments
this board reported that the addition
of saccharine to food as a substitute
for sugar must be regarded as SUBJ
stitution involving a reduction in the
food value of the sweetened product
and hence a reduction in its quality
A decision then was made that the
use of saccharine would be prohibited
after July I, 1911. On appeals from
the manufacturers the time was ex-
tended
Secretary of the Treasury Macveagh
signed the original decision prohibiting
the use of saccharine but further
hearings which were held evidently
convinced him that it's in very
small quantities should be allowed, so
that he dissented from the opinion
rendered today.
1.-The argument that it may be used
in small quantities" said Dr. Wiley,
in the brief submitted, is the old ia
miliar one which adulterators and
those who seek to adulterate have used
from the very beginning of things If
we admit one injurious substance in
small quantities we can not with any
Justice exclude the other.
THE argument of small quantities
has absolutely no ethical, logical or
legal foundation and is most danger
Gus. No more dangerous concession
to the interests seeking to debase and
adulterate and misbrand food prod
ucts could be made 1 urge the i'm
portance of refusing in any way to
condone the use of saccharine in
food

that an Independent branch would not
be recognized W L. Warriner sec
rotary of the North Topeka camp also
takes this view.
Mr.. Locknane cites a letter received
from Ike Lewis, state superintendent
of insurance. Mr.. Lewis says that no
independent lodge which might be
formed by disruption from a parent
lodge, would be permitted to do bust
ness or issue insurance without each
applicant for membership passing
again a rigid medical examination re-
gardless of his standing with the lodge.
Mr.. Locknane says that the new rate

that the funds coming from new mem
bers will not be drained too heavily
by an increasing death rate.
The old schedule calls for 90 cents
monthly dues per $1,000 of insurance
from Is to so years of age. The new
ruling is 20 cents more per month up
to so years Those over "a will have
TO pay SO per $1,000.
