R. A Harris has become a tree dentist

Mr.. Harris. land with the expenditure
Of a few dollars these trees could be
saved. Tree dentistry has proved a
success in saving trees where other
wise they would have died. Limbs and

treatment by becoming healthy. Where
the tree has enough life, the limb will

PURE FOOD
A NECESSITY

When Congress in June 1906 passed
he act now known as the Pure Food
and Drug Act it was thought that the
problem Of supplying the people OF the
United States with pure and wholesome
foods had been solved; but unfortunate
~ such is not the case One after an
other of its most important sections
have been repealed or rendered ineffec-
tive by amendment until the words on
a package Guaranteed under the Pure
Food and Drug Act, Serial Number -"
mean nothing.
An example is found in a product
labeled strawberry jam that is being
marketed by one Of the largest manu-
facturers in the country An analysis
Of this sOcaned Straw berry Jam re-
vealed the fact that # consisted Of less
than 10 percent Strawberries combined
with apple juice made from the cores
and skins and certain chemicals TO in
sure a jelly like thickness. And yet
this product bears the statement guar
anteed under the Pure Food and Drug
Act. Serial Number 49,
The Pure Food law as drawn and pre-
scented TO Congress by DIT. Wiley. the
father and most ardent advocate OF the
movement in this country, was designed
to prevent just such receptions as that
stated above. That IL has not done so
is due TO the political power OF the
large manufacturers and the failure OF
the mass OF the people to realize the
Importance and need Of law OF this
nature
The publicity that is being given the
Pure Food question in the daily press
and the magazines is leading to a wider
understanding OF the necessity for
pure food law of the most stringent
nature and its impartial and strict en-
forcement.
When the general public once thor
oughly realizes the importance of the
purity and wholesomeness Of what il
eats as related TO the future develop
meut OF the nation, those manufacturers
who seek TO violate the law in either
letter or spirit viii find so little sale for
their products that they must either
comply with the law or close their
doors.
