Westfeld's Museums of Faxed Foods and Pure Foods


with their sickening chemical con-
coctions! What a relief to the
housewife who in the midst OF
such a bewilderment of food con-
tamination was seeking healthful
fare for the family table. The
foods in the museum were among
those which Prof. Allyn and his
chemistry classes had examined and
found to be pure, clean and whole
some. The exhibit was opened on
Main Street just few doors down
the street from the old Museum of
Adulterated, Misbranded Foods.
The two exhibits have grown in inn
portance by the addition of new
exhibits and have been visited and
consulted by people from all parts
of the country. But it was the Mu-
scum Of Pure Foods with its help
full exhibits which attracted the
most attention.
Visitors, housewives OF the town,
and domestic science instructors
and club women from other parts
of the country inspected the ex-
hibits carefully. They brought
with them pencil and paper and
noted down the names and brands
of the products that were pure.
In Westfield and many other parts
of the country there was demand
for list of all the foods shown in
the museum.
The enthusiasm Of the town had
switched completely around and
concern in the pure foods was great
er than it ever had been in the adul-
terated. The people had grown
tired of reading and hearing of
debased foods. They wanted to
know of the foods that were safe
and pure.
Telephone calls, letters and tele-
grams poured in at all hours. and
It became almost impossible to
answer all questions, notwithstand-
ing the desire of the Health Board
to impart the information to all
seeking it. Hundreds OF analyses
were being conducted by Prof.
Allyn and his chemistry classes
and in the Board of Health labora-
tory.
II was impossible to make the
Food Museum so efficient that 1t
would give a correct list Of all the
pure, wholesome and honest foods
being brought to public light.
1t was impossible for every
body in the country to visit
Westfield to inspect the Museum,
so its good effects were necessarily
greatly restricted.
There was just one remedy that
suggested itself and that was to
tabulate all the foods and beverages
exhibited In the Museum which
chemical analysis had shown
worthy of the strict Westfeld
standard. This was still further
facilitated by careful classifying and
issuing in printed form. a list Of
the high grade approved products.

MANY farmers
LOSSES ARE own
FAULT SAY EXPERTS

Princeton, N j., Dec. 29-Co- ordina-
ton In distributing commodities will
do much toward reducing the cost OF
living and bring greater profits to the
farmer, DR. Royal Meeker, United
States commissioner on labor statis-
ties. told the members of the Ameri-
can Economic Association in conven-
ton here today.
While Mr.. Meeker admitted that
farmers doubtless had lost money
through dealing with INSCRIPTIONS
marketmen many losses were attribut-
able to failure to acquaint themselves
with market conditions before ship
ping.
1.-The great majority of cases in
which farmers have shipped produce
to commission merchants and have re-
ceived little or nothing in return are
not cases of dishonesty at ALL" he said
In most instances the loss is due to
ignorance of market conditions, bad
packing, bad selecting and grading, or
poor transportation arrangements.
There is an almost perfect lack of CO.
ordination in distributing commodities
The resulting waste is stupendous.
"Cantalepes were shipped last Au-
cyst into Washington in such quanti-
ties that commission merchants refus-
ed to handle them. On one day So car
loads of peaches were dumped into
st. Louis, which ordinarily can alb
sorb about IA or Is carloads day dur
Ing the peach season. One hundred and
sixteen carloads of apples struck New
York City one day last month. The
market was so glutted that apples from
North Easton, Penn. Melted only about
tic per bushel. At this time the con-
sumner was paying $3.50 to So per bush
ell for bad apples. while the producer
was receiving from IA to II cents per
bushel for good apples.
The differential is enormous but it
represents wastes rather than profits.
The fault is due mostly to a lack of
coordination in our economic system,
and scarcely at all to the dishonesty of
individuals. The solution can be
achieved neither by prosecution of
commission men nor by elimination of
them. but by organization OF the mar
ket, but the law can effect some i'm
provement by licensing and bonding
commission merchants and subjecting
them to federal inspection.
"A more important step is to or
ganize the farmers into local co-opera-
tive associations. The federal Depart
ment Of Agriculture is doing good SER
vice to encourage the formation of such
marketing associations, of which there
are about 500 at present in the United
States. The objects of such associa-
lions should be to determine the crops
to be grown, TO insist on proper meth
DDS of growing, to standardize and
guarantee the quality to superintend
gathering, grading and packing. to ar
range for transportation and terminal
facilities, and to bargain with railroads
for fair freight rates"
Reduction of transportation charges
on perishable food stuffs also was add
vocated by Mr. Meeker

Fourth of q series to appear on the Fo

After the Westheld Board OF
Health had taken charge of the
Pure Food Crusade and Prof.
Lewis B. Allyn had been made
member of the Board and Town
Chemist, interest in the campaign
became more intense than ever.
The fact that Prof. Allyn had been
forced to pay $500 fine for his
activity in protecting Westheld
from food frauds brought ex-
pressions of sympathy to him
from all sources. 1t was a sacrifice
that won for him the inalienable
friendship of his townsmen, and the
consuming public joined with him
in a concerted effort to purge the
place of food authorizations. The
Board of Health continued to make
analyses in its chemical laboraties
with many startling revelations.
The Museum of Adulterated Foods
that had been established in the
heart of the retail district for the
edifcation of marketing house
wives was augmented by many new
samples of debased products. SO
numerous were they that the mu-
scum early came to be known as
the Chamber of Horrors"
In time, however. interest in the
adulterated food exhibits began to
wane. The public had seen and
heard so much about poisoned
products that they became nause-
ated. A CHASTITY array of dyed and
doped foods grinned from the
shelves of two separate and distinct
Westheld museums-the Adulter-
ated Food Exhibit at the Board OF
Health laboratory, and the Adult
terated Food Museum at the Massa-
chusetts State Normal School.
Westheld seemed to have learned
all it cared TO know about adul-
terated foods. 1t longed for infor-
nation about pure foods and in
response to this crying demand still
another food museum was estab-
lished in Westheld, but this time
it was a Museum of Pure Foods.
From the first day this new mu-
scum was of engaging public in
terest. 1t proved more attractive
than the other fnuseums-a re-
freshing sight after all that had
been shown of contaminated foods.
From behind glass on shelves and
counters there were shown only
collections of products pure and
wholesome, clean and honestly
labeled-rows upon rows of de-
licious, safe and wholesome jams,
jellies and condiments, colored and
favored with their own fruits and
juices; aromatic full strength
spices; coffees and teas; meats in
tins and glass containers; healthful
breakfast foods; staples and uaint-
les galore, no article of which con-
tanned the slightest faint of i'm,
purity-all of recognized food
value. What contrast this to
the exhibits of adulterated foods

, PROF. LEWIS B. ALIYNs

The far sighted food adulterator
realized that if the people once
learned to discriminate intelligently
between the good and bad foods, that
everybody would want the good. That
is why they fought Prof. Allyn 81
viciously and are fighting him today
But in the meantime the public is get
ting positive knowledge as to the foods
that are safe to buy and those that are
not.
Prof. Allyn has now been induced
to turn his attention to other cities
and towns which long have sought his
services to give other sections of the
country the benefit--of his knowledge
and experience We have BEEN for
tunate enugh to secure his exclusive
services for the Journal.
1t is probable that no other chemist
in America has made so many food
analyses.

is a busy place any time you visit i.
Some new fish product from Maine,
a favoring extract from the Pacific
coast, or cooking compound from
Texas may be engaging the attention
of the chemistry experts under the
watchful eye of Prof. Allyn. They
have a wonderfully effective system of
chemical examination here, a duplicat-
ing, and comparing that renders mis-
takes impossible.
Purity of product. while counting for
fioia
entitle it to the ''Westfield Certifica-
ton" The food value-the elements
of nutrition-are taken into considera-
ton and must attain certain standards.
Flour for instance. must not only be
pure, but must contain high per-
centage of gluten and mineral salts.
Vanilla extracts may be called pure,
and yet be of inferior quality. The
same thing is true of many other foods
which are low in nutritive value, yet
go into competition with high grade
foods which cost several times as much
to manufacture, and on their labels
claim all that can be claimed for the
higher quality foods. The purchaser
cannot see inside the container before
buying, and knows nothing OF the raw
products employed, and the methods or
manufacture. 1t is unfair competition
of the worst sort. 1t discourages hon
est effort, is unfair both to the public
and to the conscientious manufacturers
who are striving to put out FOODS
made from the high grade raw prod
ucts and manufactured amid sanitary
surroundings.
This is a rare opportunity, therefore,
for our readers to become well posted
on food topics. especially those relat-
ing to purity, wholesomeness and nu-
tritive value. 1t is important to know
the amount of nutriment a food con-
tains as we'll as it's purity. Do not
hesitate to call on Prof. Allyn when
you are in debut about any product,
orr when you want any kind OF FOOD
information.
Remember Prof. Allyn is your own
food advisor and his department Is
your own medium for consulting him.

Prof. Lewis B. Allyn, the food ex-
pert, who is conducting our Food
query Department, is known all over
America for the splendid work he has
done in advancing the purity stan
dards of American foods and bever-
ages. There is perhaps no authority
in the country better versed in mat
tiers relating to food chemistry AMI
nutriment than Prof. Allyn, and our
readers are invited to share in our
good fortune in obtaining the ser
vices of so great an authority, and tn
make full use of his Question and
Answer Department" in solving their
own problems concerning foods and
beverages. Any questions relating 20
the purity and nutritive value of foods
and beverages may be addressed 20
Prof, Allyn in our care. The answers
will be published in this department
| every Thursday or sent direct to the
inquirer by mail from Prof. Allyn's
laboratory at Westfield.
You will probably remember Prof.
Allyn as the man who put Westfield.
Mass, on the map as the Pure Food
Town" of America. The remarkable
crusade he conducted in purging West
field of all forms of polluted foods
turned the eyes of the country in the
direction of this unassuming, chemis-
try professor, who has proved himself
unerring in his chemistry and I'M
bending in his allegiance to duty.
Storms have ragged over The Little
Gray Mans head for more than ten
nc K,-ffa fRia 9

Westfeld and Professor Allyn seem
to understand each other, and both
have been immune to all efforts 70
stop or even impede the great work
which has become known though
out the Nation as The Westfield
Movement" Speaking OF this move
ment one newspaper says; 1T makes
stricter demands on the producer and
the dealer every year and bids fair -
change the whole aspect of things in
the most important realm trade pos
sesses-that of providing the nourish-
ment for human beings"
Prof Allyn is the author of the
highest measure of food purity and
food values.
When the National Food Law was
enacted. Prof. Allyn refused to recog-
nize it as sufficient guarantee or pro
lection against unwholesome foods, and
he quickly saw that certain practices
would be allowed under interpreta-
lions of the law, some of them danger
Gus to life and health. He could not
exercise authority over the food affairs
of the nation, but he could exercise
it over those of Westfield, and he was
determined that his townspeople should
not be the victims of inferior or harm
full products If he could prevent 1t.
The result was the establishment of
1.-THE westfield Standard" Little did
he then realize that great move
plent would be started to make this

safer than the food laws of the land.
