FOOD SUBSTITUTES OPPOSED
BY CHEMISTS.

Food substitutes are flooding the
market and are increasing rather
than decreasing the cost of living,
said Charles H. LAVAL, state chem
list, in an address delivered in Phila-
delphia, to dairy and food commits
sioners of nearby states. Asserting
that laws are being violated, and urg-
ing vigorous prosecution, he declared
if the sale of these food substitutes
is permitted to continue uncontrolled
the American people will be de-
frauded of much money that should
be used for the purchase of foods of
known values.
"By far the most important class
of substitutes on the market" Mr..
LAVAL said "is the egg substitute.
The careless and indiscriminate use
of the words, imitation, artificial
and Synthetic as we'll as the mis-
leading and ambiguous word COM
pound, should be controlled by
specific law enactments. All the
egg substitutes contain elements Of
fraud and deception. They cannot
replace the food values of eggs.
The presence of yellow coloring mat
ter is for the purely fraudulent pur-
pose of making the articles prepared
by their use possess the appearance
of egg richness. Most of them are
made up of constituents bearing alb
solutely no relation to the normal
constituents of eggs.
"An egg ranges in fOod-producing
value from IS to 100 calories. No
egg substitute has been seen which
contains more than Is calories to
the level teaspoonful
"The product turned out by the
sO-called butter mergers is not but
ter, but butter mixed with milk. 1T,
therefore, contains nearly 40 per
cent of water instead Of not more
than 16 per cent, as required by
law. One may as we'll dilute his cof
fee, and there is no sense in such a
procedure unless one expects to eat
twice as much of it as the real but
ter, and in that case the economy has
disappeared.
at is just plain fraud, and most
harmful, to use an instrument
known as the 'homogenizer,' which
has for it's object the making of a
more perfect emulsion of milk or
cream and at the same time incor-
porating either butter OF some for
eign fat to increase the richness.
This instrument has made it possible
for manufacturers of ice cream to
add foreign fats to skinned milk,
thus making a substitute cream
which can be detected only by close
chemical analysis"

INCOME TAX COMPARED.

Washington.-The treasury depart
ment has published a comparison of
American and English income taxes,
and says that "our own income taxes
are moderate, indeed"
In England the tax on incomes of
$1,000 is Az per cent, in America
nothing.
In England the tax on incomes of
$1,000 is Ga per cent; in America
nothing for married men or heads of
families, and 2 per cent on $500 for
an unmarried man.
In England the tax on an income of
$4,000 is 7 7-8 per cent; in America
nothing for a married man or head
of family, and 2 per cent on $1,000
for unmarried men.
The English income tax rate also
increases more rapidly with the
growth Of the income than ours, a
$4,000 income being taxed ID per
cent, 5000 16 per cent, $4,000 20 per
cent, and $4,000 25 per cent, while
our corresponding taxes for married
men are respectively two-thirds of 1
per cent, IL per cent, 21a per cent
and 5 per cent, and only slightly
more for the unmarried, due to the
smaller amount exempted, the rate
being the same.

BARRIERS TO HAVE SHORTER
HOURS.

The journeymen BARRIERS of New
ark held a meeting on last Tuesday
evening at the office of j. H. Shar-
ritt, on West Main street, for the
purpose of making a change in the
working hours, to become effective
April 1st. With the exception of
three, every journeyman in the city
was present, and all shops were rep
resented. The committee on the new
schedule reported they had consulted
all the shop owners and found them
in hearty accord with the proposed
change, which fixes the working
hours as follows: Shops to open at
8 a. m. and close at p. M, except
Saturday, when the closing hour will
be 9 p. m. This means reduction of
nine and one-half hours per week.
The time was, as many of us remem-
Der, when there was no fixed opening
or closing time. Shops opened at 6
a. m. or earlier, and closed when
everyone else had retired-and this
for seven days in a week. 1t was
then that the BARRIERS Union came
into existence to abolish Sunday
work, shorten hours and improve
working conditions. How we'll it has
accomplished it's purpose can be
gathered by the action of Local No.

CAN'T STAY UNIONISM.

st. Louis, Mo.-The world has got
beyond the stage of individual bar
gaining in labor, writes William NJ.
Reedy, editor Reedy's Mirror.
collective bargaining is here and
it has come to stay. Only the trades
powerful enough to enforce the prin-
ciple of collective bargaining are get
ting the best wages. Trade union
ism is getting what it demands.
Unorganized workers are tagging
behind in raise of pay. The worker
cannot depend on generosity. He is
given nothing. He gets what he can
win; no more.
"The individual worker can not do
much to better himself. In combina-
tion with others he can do much.
Therefore they organize. They bring
to bear against the employer coer-
cion. 1t is their answer to the en-
ployers' utS Slization of the individual
workers necessities to coerce that
worker into acceptance of the low
est wage consistent with subsistence
The employer appeals to natural
law There 'ain't no such thing in
the situation, with the employer in
control of the job. To correct that
unnatural law trade unionism has
come into existence and it will re-
main until there comes into action
another method of making natural
law natural"

An Appeal to the Farmers of Ohio

- Herbert Hoover, U. S. Food administrator
M6SA makes the following appeal to the farmers of
Nn1f9hG Ohio:
NNSlglkW "In order that may comply with the
S@A~ urgent demand of the Allies for wheat and at
the same time take care of domestic supplies
urgently need this year earlier and complete mar
keting of the wheat in farmers hands than usual.
The Allies are taking from fifty percent of other
cereals than wheat mix in their bread nasmuch
the people allied countries and the soldiers must be fed
with bread baked in bakeries it impossible for them to
prepare bread wholly out of other cereals and
must furnish with sufficient wheat to maintain their
bakery loaf.
therefore appeal to all of the farmers in the State OF
Ohio that they shall bring all of their wheat except their
necessary reserves seed to market before May 1s
This is war call and service for Uncle Sam who is fight
ing for his fe If your local miller is unable to buy all
the wheat that offered market it in the other customary
trade channels through which will reach the Food Ad
ministration Grain Corporation"

NONSON

The house on East hill occupied by Amos Smith was destroyed by fire early Monday morning. MT. and Mrs. Smith, who slept on the porch, were awakened by their children who said they could not sleep because their room was so smoky. MT. Smith inn mediately sprang out of bed and rush ing down stairs he saw the place was all ablaze. The family, gathering what clothing they could lay their hands on, escaped. The telephone connection was already burned off so Mr. Smith could not summon help. Nothing was saved in the way of fur niture. The fire is supposed to have caught around the chimney which was burned out Saturday. It was the house known as the Johnson Stacy place. It was a part of the property purchased by Leon J. Harley O1 Springfield about two years ago. It had been remodeled at considerable expense. MT Smith is employed by MT. Harley as chauffeur. MT. liar ley's summer home is nearby.

MAY NOT NEGOTIATE
PROPOSED CITY LOAN
Measure to Be Approved Next
Week Provides 81, 100000
for Emergency Use

The $1,000, 900 temporary loan which
will be approved by Common Council
next week and by Select Council week
later is in the nature of an emergency
provision and the money will not actual
ly be borrowed unless Controller Walters
is hard pressed for city funds.
The proposed temporary loan which, II
borrowed. will be paid back from
revenues for August anticipated to be
over s12,0O0.000. In the event of the
loan being used councilmanic financiers
say that 1t may become necessary again
to borrow a similar sum in the closing
months of the year.
Present administration plans call for
a grand total of loans of 0,s00,00O be-
tween now and the end of 1918. The
money will be used to meet interest
charges, pay mandamus items and pro-
vide funds for transit work permitted by
the Government and to pay settlement
charges for the annulment of municipal
contracts.
In outlining councils future action on
the s1,200.O0O temporary loan. Chairman
Gaffney. Of Councils Finance Committee
today said: Councils should authorize
this temporary loan as a precautionary
measure. I don't believe. however, that
| the money will be needed as think we
will have no difficulty in dsposing Of the
s5,500.00O that will be sold next We'd
nesday The sale of these bonds would
| give us plenty of money to tide us over
until revenues increase. II will be suf-
ficient to replenish the consolidated loan
| funds to safety point"
To expedite business still awaiting ac-
ton Select Council will be called into spe
cial session next Thursday and a num-
ber of bills on the calendar passed. A
meeting of the finance committee will
likely be held on Monday to frame up a
transfer bill providing funds for over.
