Hornell, n, Y, Sept 30.--Republi-

After such a record-breaking cam.

ing sultana raisin is so inferior to the
flavor of the natural, unbleached
raisin.
For years men prominently identi-
fed with the dried fruit industry
have declared that if they were COM
PEELED by law to abandon their Gus
tom of bleaching dried apples, dried
pears, dried peaches, dried apricots,
and dried Sultana raisins with sui
phurous acid they would be put to an
expense that would destroy their
business.
Dried fruit brokers have told me
with great pathos that without the
use of sulphurous acid the bleached
dried fruit industry would be Obliged
to erect new buildings, install new
machinery and take greater care in
protecting their products from the
appetites of birds and insects.
For six years the Remsen Referee
Board. to which the sulphurous acid
question was referred for a decision,
kept quiet, while, in the meantime,
the harvest of sulphured fruits has
increased enormously
In 1909 California alone produced
20, 900 tons of dried peaches treated
with sulphurous acid.
In 1914 this quantity had increased
to $4,000 tons. The traffic in dried
apricots and evaporated apples treat
ed with sulphurous acid increased
accordingly.
Six years is a long time in which
to determine whether poison is a
poison, particularly If during the
meantime the public, without its
knowledge, is obliged to eat the prod
uct over which there is so much ar
gument.
In the meantime California has
been able to say to the United States
Government Hands Off" Through
her influence at Washington she was
able to keep the Referee Board silent
for six years.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley made bitter
fight against the use of sulphurous
acid in all foods. What happened to
the greatest food crusader of all
times is now only too well known.
Yet. while the Referee Board was
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-08-11

the public has never hearo OF, have
appeared in almost all the courts of
the country for and against the
merits and demerits of sulphurous
acid.
1t is time indeed that the laity
should have some knowledge of what
is going on.
The beautiful Sultana raisin, grown
in California, and marketed under a
name which conveys the idea that it
comes all the way from Turkey is
part of a scheme of fraud which the
average housewife never suspects.
This beautiful blond fruit contains
sulphurous acid. For years all efforts
to reform the methods of preparation,
whereby the wholesome little brun-
cite of the preserved grape family
is forced to appear under false colors,
have been defeated by the food So
phisticators.
The dried fruit men openly refer.
when speaking to themselves, to a
phenomenon which they admit to be
real.
They say that beetles, ants, flies,
and birds will starve to death rather
than eat bleached, dried fruit con-
tanning sulphurous acid.
If the instincts and habits of the
lower animals, which prompt them to
avoid certain foods, had no meaning
for human intelligence, we would not
now have our modern system of med
ication.
Notwithstanding this fact the lay
man never asks how 1t is that the
masquerading Sultana raisin acquires
it's golden hue.
The housewife never asks why it
is that the flavor of the masquerad-

brooding over the wholesomeness or
Embellishments of sulphurous acid
as an ingredient of commercial food
stuffs, DR.. ]. C. Olsen, professor of
chemistry in the Brooklyn Polytech-
mic Institute, established to his own
satisfaction the harmfulness of sui
phurous acid when introduced into
the food of animals.
In 1911 DR.. Olsen issued a statement
which was given wide publlclty
throughout the newspapers of the
country.
These were his words:
"Sulphurous acid kills people by the
slow route. 1t prolongs their agony
longer than would be the case If they
We're shot or stabbed. There is no
doubt of that But whether you de-
scribe the effects that follow its use
as murder or not depends perhaps
upon how much stock you own in the
food industry that uses the drug.
Il have put sulphurous acid in the
food of dogs and watched them
closely for months. At first they
actually appeared to fatten on the
diet. Any casual observer would
have been led by this phenomenon to
pronounce sulphurous acid a whole
some ingredient of food.
"At the end of six months we
chloroformed the animals and made
post-mortem examinations upon them.
All their organs appeared sound and
healthy. The acid apparently had not
harmed them as far as the naked eye
was concerned.
Before a jury, with only the sur
face evidence by which to be guided,
sulphurous acid would have been
whitewashed.
However, we went farther than a
mere post-mortem. We put the dogs
kidneys under the microscope. In
every case the results were the same.
The kidneys had begun to break
down. The lens revealed the degen-
Grafton of the cells. For this reason
1 look upon sulphurous acid as dead
ly"
DIR. Olsen did not profess to know
anything about the conduct of sui
phurous acid in the body of a human
being. He knew only what happened
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-08-11

to the unfortunate dogs on which he
had experimental, but there his
knowledge stopped.
Children were eating dried fruits
bleached with sulphurous acid in
every State of the Union. Children
have been eating this fruit for six
years, during which the Referee Board
has spent the nations money in
silence.
Throughout all these years all
American children in whose diet
bleached dried fruits has appeared
were in the sulphurous acid poison
squad whether their parents knew it
or not.
On April 81, 1918, I suggested to the
Health Department of New York
City, which has unlimited powers.
that it should take twenty orphan
children ranging in age from five to
ten years and feed them daily with
the same, kind of bleached dried
peaches which twenty million other
children of the same age in the
United States are asked to eat and
are permitted to eat without shock
or objection on the part of their
parents or guardians.
/ suggested that If at the end OF one
year these twenty unfortunate chill
dren should be found to be peculiarly
anaemic the Department of Health
would find some justification for exer-
cising it's vast powers in the dis
couragement of he sulphurous acid
industry and would doubtlessly be alb
solved of all charges of cruelty or
barbarism in making the experiment.
The criticisms that were showered
upon me for making this 'inhuman"
suggestion indicated then that the
timid souls who stand by and say
nothing while millions of women and
children are exposed to the use of a
chemically treated food which is at
least in the doubtful class, became
exceedingly indignant, forceful and
even militant when a generalized
condition tolerated on a vast scale is
focused down to a fine point where

Steamers Can't Move
 Australian Wheat

Melbourne, Australia, Aug. 10.- The governments purchase of fifteen large steamships in England to be operated by the Commonwealth in the movement of Australian wheat to Europe will not go far towards solv- ing the problem. The steamers have total cargo capacity of 10000 tons but it is doubtful if they can make more than two trips each to Europe before the end of the year, and this will dispose of only 9,o00,00O bush els of the huge quantity of the cereal that is awaiting shipment here.
 Australia has almost 100,000,00 bushels of wheat stored in sheds or beginning to sprout in stocks where storage is unavailable in country rail- road yards. and the Commonwealth S next wheat harvest is already in sight to further complicate the problem.
 The governments purchase of the steamers is hailed by the Labor Party with qualification, for the establish ment of a government-owned fleet has long been a plank in its platform.

English Adjusting
 Economic Status
 To Fit Conditions

London, Aug. 10.-One by one the great war has whittled down a whole list of comforts, services, pleasures .and so-called necessities of life that the twentieth century thought indis- pensable. But no grumbling is heard now that the people have adjusted themselves to the changed conditions.
 Two years ago the English people were all travellers. The magic car pet lay waiting outside the door of the humblest citizen with a ten-pound note. "A Week in Lovely Lucerne for Five Pounds" was within the am- bition of the poorest worker. At Christmas winter-sport holiday ma kers packed the English channel boats even more than they were packed at Easter or in the summer.
 For two years now not a single Englishman or Englishwoman, unless on ''strict business only" has been able to leave these shores for the con- tinent. Two years ago the Londoner could compass Boulogne or Ostend .in a twenty-four hours jaunt. To-day those trite familiar towns have be- come as far off as Lhasa or Yarkand.
 f1OHc CTdVcI, IOO, hdS SuucFco Seventeen cross-country train services have disappeared. The people who live on these routes are experiencing restrictions of movement tighter than those days that kept at home their ancestors of the stage-coach days.
 Main line services have been cut down SO gradually that people scarce ly realize how much they have been curtailed. They have become used to few and crowded long-distance trains. no dining cars and slower services. People ignore discomforts and delays that a few years ago would have sent fuming letters to the arrangements and the newspapers, people have schooled themselves to travel as lit- tie as possible; are content to wait indefinitely for delivery of goods; are waiving-in millions-their annual vacations.
