get the money for this reason He signed
a contract TO dive the Dusenberg car and
to accept but one trophy in return for his
work no matter what his position at the
finish. After the race. he says. the Bosch
Magnetic company rendered him a special

No wonder a little grammar school
girl was puzzled.
And who drinks pickles.
WHY all this discussion OF fluid
ounces, anyway?
Having looked into the bottle, we
bethought ourselves OF certain alum
and net weight decisions promulgated
by the Department Of Agriculture
under the pure food law, and we
looked into them. We found that on
October q. 1914, "Opinion 81 on Alum
in Pickles" was delivered by the De
partment as follows;
"The Referee Board Of Consulting
Scientific Experts has investigated the
influence Of aluminium COMPOUNDS on
the nutrition and health Of man. The
results Of this investigation have been
published ia Department Bulletin lO3.
"The board came to the conclusion
that the amount Of alum that remains
in pickles and is therefore consumed ls
50 small as 70 be negligible. From the
information at hand it also appears
that alum is almost universally used
In the preparation Of pickles and may
therefore, be considered common IN
gredient of such products.
On view Of these facts, this bureau
offers 10 objection TO the use OF a
small amount of alum in the preserva-
tion Of pickles
Alum is put into pickles to keep
them crisp-a properly made pickle
needs no other preservative than brine
The claim on the bottle that mo ar
tifcial preservative is present" hardly
consists with tho last words of the
decision.
Again, we are assured that small
amount is negligible" though over a
certain amount produces catharsis and
very "1arge amounts" produce coca
sional collie"
One more point-the fact that alum
is almost universally used" in the
preparation of pickles is weird

STORY OF A PICKLE MIXED" BOl POKE

over this mix-up.
As a matter Of fact this bottle con
tanned fifteen ounces OF pickles and
about six fluid ounces Of vinegar. II
is stated on the front label to hold
1914 fluid ounces, and on the back
the contents are described as 30 fluid
ounces!
Grammar school arithmetic couldn't
solve this problem. Neither could
common sense, calculus nor quatern-
ions. We gave It up! Neither Of the
white pastors helped matters as far
as we can see. A final appeal 20 the
bottlers brought forth the information
that the sticker was an error. 1t did

ers; Macy, the puveyor, and Eleanor,

keep up with the devious interpreta-
tions of the law as expressed in
various opinions, decisions and scien-
tifc pronunciamentos.
1t would seem comparatively simple
to tell on the label the net weight
Of the edible contents that you get
for your money; to put no question
able, unnecessary, non-food products
into foods or, if you do, to say so on
the label; that those who don't care
may buy and those who do care may
buy something else.
What we need Is "childlike" mind
in settling these points-a simple
hearted desire to make foods above all
question pure and wholesome and to
tell the plain truth about them on the
label.
1t is the "hedging," getting just
as near as you can TO breaking the
law without doing it; squeezing in the
profitable but questionable practice
that calls for hair-splitting decisions,
for legal and expert advice, and for
pastors and sub-labels.

would kill many Of tho most valuable
features OF the food law. The al
most" is wisely inserted however, since
many OF the best pickle makers scorn
tho use Of alum.
No. we don't see II! We side with
Eleanor against the lawyers and the
scientific experts.
One little sentence in her letter Is
snoro convincing than all this hair
splitting:
"As | eat great many IT might
be just as well for me TO have 'em
pure"
Small amounts Of non-food styptic
materials, admittedly harmful in large
amounts, do not in our opinion add
to the purity" OF foods.
As to "Contcnts":, Why 1915 ounces
when viewed from the front and 81
ounces when viewed from the rear :
And why not the weight OF the pickles
which you eat instead Of the volume
of the liquor which you throw away?
Again we turned to the decisions
and opinions Of the department en-
forcing the law. Food Inspection De-
cision 1914 provides that quantities OF
mixtures of solids and liquids may be
stated either by weight or measure;
but obviously, when the liquid is not
edible, the true food contents should
be given.
In Opinion IT Of the Bureau OF
Chemistry, It is stated that "olives in
brine should be marked with state
ment of the net weight of the olives
exclusive of the brine" and that this
should be stated in terms of the larg-
est unit contained in the package.
This decision is also applied to
pickles.
As to the statement being blown in
the glass, this is permitted only when
it is plain and conspicuous" and
should apply 10 the quantity Of the
contents and not to the capacity OF
/ the bottle"
In any case, the met weight" dec

than the costly rib or loin. Cooked

they furnish an excellent dinner at

1870 South 18th Street, Philadelphia.
NJ OST labor saving devices are pri-
MI marily intended to save labor,
both as regards work done and
the care Of the implement.
This is hardly the case with the
Sharpless Bread Mixer. II is quite
"chore" TO take care Of, but the bread 1t
makes is good enough to warrant the
slight extra trouble Of scrubbing and
scalding the various parts of the ma
chine.
While The Tribune Institute can
hardly endorse the statements that the
bread made in this bread mixer "is
more nourishing and more easily di-
gested than bread made by any other
method" or that ait is characterized
by its tender gluten and lack of un-
changed starch granules," II has been
proved by thorough-going testing that
the Sharpless Mixer bread is most de-
licious, having a light, porous texture
somewhat like French bread and q
crisp, thick. nutty crust. This prob
ably results from the fact that the
dough is cut by the machine instead Of
being kneaded, and that the -four is
sifted in gradually from the top sec
ton. while the dough below Is being
