THE GOVERNMENT WARNS
Department of Agriculture Fears
Great Mineral Water Fraud Will Be
Perpetrated.

The United States Department of
Agriculture, through the Bureau of
Chemistry, Monday, ssued the fol-
lowing warning To the public in re-
gard t6 the so-cailed radioactive MN
eral waters offered for sale in bot
ties.
There are indications of the be
ginning of an attempt TO perpetrate
great fraud on the American peo-
pie through advertising certain min
eral waters as possessing radioactiY-
ity. These waters, in some cases are
taken from springs the waters of
which as they come from the ground
do possess certain radioactive proper
ties. Examination of many of these
waters by the departments special
lists indicate that whatever radloac-
tivity they possess at the spring is
due almost entirely to radium emana
ton rather than to the presence in
the water of any substance possess
ing radioactivity. These carnations
in the form of gas quickly disappear
from the water and as a result. after
the water has been bottled q short
time it will possess practically no
radioactivity. The belief long held
by many people that some mineral
waters used at the springs are more
effective than when bottled has been
explained by some authorities on the
ground that the beneficial effect of
these waters is due TO radioaCtivity.
AS the radioactiviy disappears soon
after the water is taken from the
spring. any effect due TO the radio
activity must be lost in short time.
If the radioactivity of a water in a
spring is 100, four days after bottling
il will be only so ana II days after
bottling 10. In month il will be
practically nothing compared with
the original radioactiYity of the water
at the spring.
The public therefore, is warned TO
regard with suspicion any water ad-
vertised as possessing radioacuvity.
AS far as the governments specialists
have been able to ascertain, no bot
tied water, not matter how radioactive
it may have been at the spring, re-
tains this radoactiyity for any length
of time.
THE department is now inyestlgat-
ing a number of the so-called radioac-
tive waters with the object of Secur-
ing evidence that can be made basis
of prosecution for misbranding In
the past before the Food and Drugs
act was enacted, a number Of mineral
waters made claim TO curative prop
critics which they did not possess and
succeeded in creating a misplaced con-
tidence on the part of the consumers.
This was particularly true of a
of imported waters which
were sold extensively in the United
States with a statement on the bottle
that they were wonderful or magical
cures for all sorts of incurable or
chronic ailments. The Treasury de
partment, acting in cooperation with
the Department of Agriculture, now
refuses admission to the country of
foreign waters labeled so as to mis-
lead consumers as to their real or
curative properties. The department
fears that unless the public is warned
that the fraudulent trade in so-called
radioactive waters will develop, just
as the fraudulent trade in other min
eral waters was developed to the point

The True Booster

II you like the old town best
Tell 'em so.
If you'd have her lead the rest
Help her grow
When there's anything to do
Let the fellows count ON you.
You'll feel bully when it's through,
Don't you know,
II you want to make a hit
Get a name.
II the other fellows it
Who's to blame?
Spend your money in the town
Where you pull the sheckels down
Give the man who kicks a frown.
That's the game,
If you're used to giving knocks
Change your style.
Throw bouquets instead of rocks
For a while.
Let the other fellow roast.
Shun him as you would a ghost.
Meet his hammer with a boast
And a smile.
When a stranger from afar
Comes along
Tell him who and what you are.
Make it strong.
Needn't flatter; never bluff.
Tell the truth, for that's enough
Join the boosters-they' the stuff
We belong.
