No college in the world can point to
"a rowing record so impressive as that
Of Cornell, which, in the last twenty
years, has won thirty-six out OF Il total
OF fifty championship races IN which
IL has taken part. With the intcrcol-
leEiate rowing season getting under

it's victorious career or whether the

housewives Using Dangerous
Chemicals Canning Fruit

prohibits the use Of harmful preserv-
atives in foods that enter interstate
commerce. The food laws of nearly
every state in the union forbid the
sale within the state of foods tina,
have been preserved with harmful sub
stances. Neither the federal or state
food laws apply to foods that are
canned in the home and consumed
there. 1t would seem, however, that
the housewife would not knowingly
use, in the foods she provides for her
family substances that she could not
use in foods for sale without violat-
ing the law, because these substances
are injurious to health.
Fruits and vegetables can be kept
indefinitely if they are sterilized by
heat and properly sealed, and there is
no excuse in the opinion of the ex-
perts of the department, for running
any risk by using preserving powders,
which may be injurious to health. The
use of such powders in addition to
the possible injury to health, en-
courages uncleanly or careless work
in canning, Reliance is placed in
the efficacy if the preserving compound
instead of upon cleanliness and heat.
The department has issued buHe-
tins that give specific directions for
the preserving and canning of fruits
and vegetables without the use of pow
ders Or canning compounds. These
bulletins may be obtained without,
cost from the Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c. Application
should be made for Farmers Bulletin

and Jellies, and No. 521 on Canning

Information has come to the de-
partment that the canning season has
brought the usual demand on the part
of housewives for salicylic acid anG
boric acid. These preparations are
sometimes sold in the form of pow
der under various trade names and
are recommended by the promoters for
use in preserving canned goods in
home canning. In the directions fiji
use the housewife is told to fill the
jar with the fruit or vegetables, cover
with water and add teaspoonful OF
the preserving powder. While it IS
true that these compounds may retard
the decay of the fruit or vegetable, IL
is pointed out by the experts of the
department that their use may be at
tended by serious disturbances of
health. Salicylic acid is we'll known
as a poisonous substance, and one of
the evils which may accompany its
use is a arrangement of the digestion,
1t is, therefore, plain that its extern
sive use in food may lead to disturb
anee of digestion and health.
