WYE MUST give the devil his due; there
M is one thing TO be said in defence OF
w the use of artificial coloring in foods.
ANYTHING that makes a food attractive pro
notes appetite and digestion And freshness
and beauty Of appearance, like dainty service
and fragrant odors make the mouth water,
as the saying goes, and indirectly promo'c
nutrition. But here the defence OF coiorea
foods ends. and even these two considerations
are often wiped out by the fact that oolored
foods are overcolored. presenting a crude, IN
natural appearance that is far from attractive,
and again that the ooloring is used TO conceal
inferiority," as the law puts it, and thus be
comes a veritable crime.
In the old days. before the food law was
PASSED. it was said TO be fact that the oolors
used to print the label on the package were
often purer than those that went into the food
on the inside.
Those days are gone. Foods greened with
copper salts are not permitted, though peas
and beans in the olden days were OF spring
green" never dared by nature. But the gaudy
red cherry, blushing more brightly than it ever
did on a tree, is still found on every corner;
dried fruits are sulphured to prevent discolora-
quantities 70 meats 70 obtain fresh red tint
THE PERMITTED" DYES.
Eight coal tar, or anilin, dyes are permit
ted" under government sanction, selected as
the least offensive Of their knd-provided that
they are not used 10 conceal inferionty-and
the dyes are made in sanitary careful way
and certified 10 be free from poisonous and
harmful ingredients.
The consumer, however, cannot confirm
these details. and indeed the government con-
troll Of certified oolors is far from satisfactory
Minute amounts OF arsenic are OF necessity
tolerated" and so difficult is the chemical
control OF the mixed dyes especially that it
has been practically impossible to bring pros
ecutiors under these regulations.
WHY WE CANNOT DISCRIMINATE
If the situation is so complex as to challenge
the government experts. what chance has the
housekeeper to discriminate wisely? There

BY dyeing our foods, why not take safety
first" as a motto and satisfy our desire tor
colors in some other department OF lite'
II is not claimed that any actual poisoning
or dire disaster to health occurs except IN
rare and unusual cases. In well made dye
the amount of arsenic is negligible, and. fur
Their. the actual amount of color used IS eX-
uemey small.
The contention is this: II the color IS IN
necessary, II you cannot tell whether 1t is well
made or not. If you have no way OF knowing
whether IL oonceals inferority or not, Why
risk anything for a false appeal to the eye'

loudly for natural butter, TO cultivate taste
for the creamy loaf, and not only to read the
label but not to buy if the legend reads "Arti-

The food law is mainly "misbrsnding law,
few things are interdioted absolutely but
limitations arc set as to amounts and label
declarations arc demanded for the informa-

It avails nothing for Uncle Sam to set linn
