FULL CREW BILL IN EFFECT NOW
 IN NEW JERSEY

Newark, May 2-The so-called full crew bill which was opposed so bitter 1y by the railroads went into effect throughout this State, yesterday. The law provides crews on freight trains of less than 30 cars shall consist of five men, of more than 30 cars six men. On passenger trains of not more than three passenger cars and one baggage car, the crew must consist off i've men and four or more passenger cars and enc baggage car six men,
 All the roads affected. the Pennsyl- vantsL, the DeleWare, the Erie, Laka- wanna & Western, Lehigh Valley, Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Baltimore & Ohio, which will be forced to place full crews on their trains, today, are planning to join in concerted action to test the constitu- tiona5ity of the law, possibly by in <itinE prosecution under the penalty imposing a fine for its violation. A test Of the full crew law in Pennsyl- vania which is similar to the New Jersey statute, has not reached the su- preme court in that State and the New York law which goes into effect on September will be similarly tested. The railroads maintain that there are no duties for extra men to perform which could not be adequately per formed by train crews as formerly Constituted and new men are, there fore, supernuous and an unnecessary expense

POISON IN DRIED FRUITS.
Has Inyestgated for Six
 Years Without Reaching Decision
{A- W. Mccann in IN. r.. Globe.)

A W. McCann in IN. Y. Globe.)
 Dried pears, purchasable in almost any, grocery store in the United States are treated like dried apples, dried peaches. dried apricots, silver prunes, Valencia, rais1ns, and Su1tana raisins, with sulphurous acid,
 On. July IS, 1907, Frederick L. Dun lap and George P. McCabe served no tfce on the food fakers that no matter how they employed sufphurous acid in the debauchery of evaporated fruits they would not get into trouble.
 The decision stated. Pending inves- ttgaton of nroceSs of manufa cture and of effecr oon health, the Depart ment of Agriculture will institute no action where the fumes of burning sulphur are used in the manufacture of foods and foodstuffs cOnfa ming acetaldehyde, sugars, etc, with which the sulphur diox1d may combine. Tn dried fruits, in the preparation of which sulphur dioxid has been used, there is reason for believing that it may all be present in a com bined' condition, probably to a large extent If not wholly, in combination with the sugars present.
 There is also reason for believing that sulphur dioxid may combine with or these com bined forms are not equally harmless. That the use of sulphur dioxid in the preparation of wines, evaporated fruits, molasses, etc. has in some cases been greatly abused, is apparent from a study of the de-. partments analysis.
 Tt is absolutely necessary to re- strict in some manner, the sulphur di- oxid present in food products and 1t is believed that under the restrictions suggested, the public will be protect ed during the period which must elapse before experimental evidence can be obtained as to whether total restriction in the use of sulphur diox- i'd is necessary on account of the poi sonous properties possessed by it n the combined form.
 For six years this "experimental evidence has di1ly-dal1ied in the De- partment of Agriculture The Rem sen Board has been awful1y busy. It had at least three other poison prob lems to deal with and six years is such a. short while in which to inves- tigate.
 What difference does it make if the people are systematically poisoned for six years as long as the poisoners can prevent the matter from being settled? Surely, no one can be so unreasonable as to demand that the use of poison in foodstuffs should be

Analyses of the contents in a number of reported eases have disclosed hydrochloric acid, so- lutions Of zinc chlorid, caustic soda and other dangerous cauterants. These burning liquids and their rubber Acon- tainer are tightly covered by machine wound ribbons or other material, and are thereby subjected to great pres sure. It follows that when burst or out open the fluid contents are ex- peIled with explosive force, generally into the face of the dissector or some innocent onloolzer.

Owing to the fact that serious acci- dents have occurred in the past few years due to cutting open certain makes of golfLbalIs containing acid and other, sight compounds, the association warns all persons to refrain from this dangerous practice Whether or not the resiIiency or 'tcar- rying power of golf-baIIs is enhanced by furnishing them with some sort of fluid core may be left to the proper authorities to decide; but the public should know of the dangerous charac- ter of some goIf-balIs and should know that it is the part of wisdom not to invite disaster by dissecting them

forbidden when so many business in- terests believe that they are obliged to use the po1sons in order to make their food products attractive to the public eye.
 Of course it would not take six years for any district attorney in the coun- try to determine in a murder trial whether sulphurous acid is a poison or a food. He could find out in six
 months or less Others have. found out for him. He would subpoena the authorities have demonstrated the dangerous character of the poison and he would get a. conviction, but the dear old Department of Agricu1ture. which in the first place, should have no more to say about the purity of foodstuffs than the Department of Forest or Mfnea has jugg1ed with the question until those who stands by waiting for it's answer are wearied with the siok- ening spectacle. Sulphwous acid is not a food. Any newsboy can ten us that.
 Sun Cried pears. sun dried apples. sun dried peaches. sun dried raisins, sun dried figs. sun dried dates, sun dried entrants have been used for centuries by the human race and only until recent years, when big business got control of interruptions chemistry has it been found necessary to change the old-fashfoned method and sub SI1IOIO III A(S S(OAOP AAIO Su1PhQIOQS acid process.
 The goverinaent has proved that oats treated as these su1phured fruits are treated will not grow. Horses fed on a diet of sulp11ured oats be- come anaernfc and develop strange diseases. Nobody knows just what happens to children fed on su1phured fruits. The whole scheme of dark ness is outrageous.
 The United States with it's govern ment "of the people, by the people, for the people," tolerates conditions affecting the life of the people which kings and enperors condemn.
 The pure food problem, more than any other issue, has put the United States government on trial. The peo- pie get just what they will tolerate and, in toIerating food poison, they indicate that they are not fit, with all their boasted pride of self-government to safeguard the lives of their chill dren as they safeguard the money in- vested in their horses, sheep, hogs, cows, and poultry.

test against the nominations now before
the Senate, as well as against the send

In the Senate there will be playing to
