Only Ripe Olives
in Glass Have
Caused Trouble

In view of the position in which
olives hace found themselves as a re-
suit of the developments of the last
few months, it is essential that mer-
chants understand the exact facts
and be able to answer the questions
asked by customers. recent state
ment by DR. Carl Alsbere. bead of the
United States Bureau of Chemistry OF
the Agricultural Department. fur
nishes such a summary of conditions
These facts are established by this
statement:
First-All cases of poisoning have
come from the eating Of ripe olives
Second-No cases have developed
from eating picked green olives in
anv fn"rn. whether plain or stuffed
Thirl-All cases Of poisoning deveI-
oped from eating ripe olives. original
ed from olives packed i'm glass and
headed
Fourth No eases of poisoning have
originated from ripe olives packed in
tin cans This IS due 10 the fact that
glass containers can not be properly
sterilized. whereas ripe olives packed
IN tin may be brought up to high tenn
peratures which destory germs and
kept there until sealed.
Under the direction and with the
cooperation OF the Bureau OF Chem.
istry the Gamers and packers Of ripe
olives are altering their methods and
making changes which will remove all
dangers of poison from the next sea-
sons crop. This statement Is given

real purpose was to allow high
disagreement loans, most of them
to profteers, to a favored few among

makers" and "war contractors" so
innocently referred to by our young
friends, needed no help of the kind
suggested by them, and such was not
the purpose of the bill. The war
