FIGHT AGAINST
USE OF P0IS0NS
Government Pure Food Experts
Campaign for People

Washington. July S1-Every time a
on the dangers of poisons in foods
there are many persons who write in
To the United states bureau of chem
istry and volunteer the information
that the same poison is contained in
some iruit or vegetable i'm it's natural
state when growing on the tree or
plant. Such letters usually suggest
that there is little need To worry about
! small amounts of poisons used either
in preserving or in the artificial col
oring of foods. since natures own pro-
ducts contain slight traces of various
chemicals which scientists consider
dangerous To- health.
\ few weeks ago a warning was is
sued on the danger in the salts Of
copper found on celery which had
been sprayed with Bordeaux mixture
while growing. Housewives were adj
vised In wash their celery thoroughly
! before GLOWING it To go on the table
so that all traces of copper might he
dissolved This information had hard
| ~ reached the public before cores
| pondents began To write i'm To the bu-
reau To volunteer the information that
some oysters and certain vegetables
contain copper i'm their natural state,
and asked why, therefore, should
slight traces Of copper on celery be
| considered deleterious To health.
At the time when the agitation
against the use of benZoate of soda
ana benzoic acid in the preservation OF
food was at it's height a number OF
persons wrote and asked the govern
ment chemists why small quantities
Cf benzoic acid should be feared so
very much when the same chemical is
contained in cranberries in their nat
ural state" Peaches have also been
found 10 contain small quantity of
hydrocyanic acid, a dangerous sub
stance. and traces of borax have been
found i'm grapes. Stories have also
been circulated that grapes contain ar
senic. hut government chemists doubt
this. believing when the poison has
been found that it had been sprayed on
the grares while growing.
There is only one answer to letters
putting forth such information. Poi
sons such as benZoic acid, copper, bo-
raX or arsenic as found in fruits or
vegetables as they grow are natural tn
these foods and are only present in
such jnfinitesimal quantities that they
are harmless. Pure food advocates say
that even in the few cases where there
is an accidental presence of trace
Of Some poison in food this fact offers
no justification for the addition of
varying quantities of poisons thereto
for the purpose of artificial coloring
or preserving the product.
Urge Washing Of Foods.
The government chemists urge the
thoroughly washing of all foods which |
have been sprayed with poisonous
nuids during their period of growth /
The spraying Of celery with Bordeaux
mixture, which contains salts of copper

country, especially in Florida II the

A ND this is the dreamed of wonder!
This at last Is the sea!
Billows Of liquid thunder
Vocal immensely.
But where Is the thrill OF glory
Born of a great surprise?
This Is the old. old story:
These are the ancient skies.
CHILD Of the prairie expanecs,
Often the soul Of me
Hungered for long sea chances.
And here at last is the sea.
Yon goes a sea gull dying;
There Is a sinking mast
This Is the ocean crying.
This is the rune of the vast.
RUT out in my mother country
Ever since I was born
This Is the song my brother winds
Sang In the fields OF corn.
And there In the purple midnights
Sullen and still with heat
This Is the selfsame drone that ran
Over the heading wheat.

OF much interest to . number of
Teche sugar people who in past
years had made investments in
land in the Anse la Butte oil field,
in st. Martin parish, is the AL
nounced striking of oil there last
Saturday by l.. F. Benckenstein, q
seasoned oil operator of Texas and

pany, of which Mr.. Bsnckenstein
10 the head, brought in q gusher
the 10th inst, which is understood
to be flowing at tho rate of about
5000 barrels daily. with reported
approximate 20 per cent water.
A few years back there was
great activity in prospecting for
oil at Anss Ia Butte. and hopes
were entertained by planters in
the Teche country of securing
cheap fuel close at home from that
field. Anss la Butte's productive
ty now being proven will no doubt
lead to early effort toward an in
crease in production there, and if
other wells are brought in this
year it may be that St. Martin pa
rish oil will be used at some of
the Teche factories tho coming

proximity to the Standards refin-
ing plant at Baton Rouge, through
the s. P. cross. country road from
