SOME OF The INGREDIENTs OF
POOR" FOOD.

As a result of the investigation the
chain stores came in for the chief
castigation. 1.-The unpleasant fact is"
says Mr. Woodruff's report, that some
poor food has been purchased by this
association. our investigation shows that
an average of IS per cent OF all the food
purchased by the relief department OF the
association was OF poor quality, and we
mean by that word poor food that was
not TT for human use The question
arises a; once as to the source OF this
poor food"
Tn their supplies they found beans COM
bined with such choice filler as dirt
and stones, bad Goldfish. canned meats.
! fish and vegetables which had fermented,
wormy prunes. coffee favored with dirt
chickory, grains OF cereal and ground
| roasted beans, dirty rice and bad eggs
often the eggs were bad. and this IN
spite OF the fact that in every case our
/ visitors were instructed to buy tha Yer"
best obtainable In the stores they visited.
! The evidence led us 20 believe that many
chain stores were guilty OF selling the
same grade OF eggs at varying prices.
In this opinion We have been strength
ened by the result OF subsequent in
yestigations. The producer would find II
very difficult to market much fcod unfit
for use unless the total control OF that
food, until 1t reaches the ultimate con-
sumner. were actually in his own hands
! Now. that explains in part why the chain
system store Is most frequently guilty in
supplying poor food, for the companies
which manage these systems are often
in that very position. They are producers.
they are the wholesalers, and. OF course.
they are the retailers. They handle the
food alone"
The moral is. watch for the grocery
iuggler.

FORESTRY EDUCATION AND ITS
PROMOTION.

With all this activity in the field, the
progress of technical forestry and popular
education was not neglected. In 1907. for
example sixty-one publications on various
phases of forestry. with total OF more
than a million copies were issued. as
against three publications, with total OF
eighty-two thousand copies. in 1901. BY
this time, also the opposition OF the SER

TO the Forest Service had become strongly
developed. and more time appeared to DO
spent in the yearly attacks upon IT dur
ing the passage Of the appropriation bills
than on all other government bureaus put
together. Every year the Forest Service
had TO fight for its life
One incident in these attacks is worth

In 1901. Ut my suggestion as President

proceeded. under the leadership of Pm

ciples they had already formulated. one
OF these was to open all the resources
of the national forests TO regulated use.
Another was that OF putting every part

this principle the act of June II, 1906,
was drawn. and its passage was secured
from Congress. This law throws open

in another the price for the best grade
WAS only s cents Actually there was no
difference IN the quality OF the lentils.
The history OF the purchases OF lima
beans was similar. the different grades
