CANEIH6 COMPOUND
DANGEROUS TO HEALTH
HOUSEWIVES WARNED THAT
USE OF PRESERVING POW
pERs ARE HARMFUL

Washington, d. c., Sept 1.-Infor
nation has come to the Department
that the canning season has brought
the usual demand ON the part OF
housewives for salicyiic acid and
boric acid. These preparations are
sometimes sold in the form Of pow
der under the various trade names
and are. recommended by the promot-
ers for use In preserving canned
goods in home canning. In the direc-
tions for use the housewife is told to
fill the jar with the fruit or vegeta-
bles. cover with water and add a
teaspoonful OF the preserving pow
der. While it is true that these COM
pounds may retard the decay of the
fruit or vegetable. it is oointed out
by the experts OF the Department chat
their use may be attended by serious
disturbances of health. Salicylic
acid is well known as a poisonous
substance. and one of the evils which
may accompany its use is derange-
ment OF the digestion. 1t is therefore
plain that its extensive use in food
may lead to disturbance of digestion
and health.
The Federal Food and Drugs Act
prohibits the use of harmful preser-
vatives in foods that enter interstate
commerce. The food law of nearly
every state in the union forbids the
sale within the state of foods that
have been preserved with harmful
