What Food Laws Do for You, as Pennsylvania
Sees 1t; A Food May Be Adulterated
And Fraudulent Though Harmless

retailer. While the added product
does not harm the consumer it does
compel him to pay for something
that does not actually belong to the
article purchased and which mate
rally reduces the original cost of the
butter, sausage or other article
which has been adulterated. The
laws which punish such practices
are just and right.
1t is not enough to keep dangerous
adulterants out of the food of the
people. When a housekeeper visits
any business house in which food
products or other articles of domes-
tic utility or necessity are sold, she
has a legal and moral right to the
exact article she believes herself to
be purchasing. To adulterate food
products even in the most harmless
manner is to cheat the purchaser,
and it is the duty of the state to
punish the dishonest dealer, even
though the chief harm he does be
confined to the pocketbooks Of his
patrons.

The Veco vegetables were treated
in the same way and were excellent

Either brand may equally well be
used, after cooking, in stews or cas-

half done.
String Beans, Minus the Strings
There were three different lots of
string beans examined, the Veco
brand coming both in bulk and in a
compressed tablet. These had 10

soluble; therefore, add just enough
water to refresh them so that you
will not throw away the food value

How the Institute carries On and
Follows Through" When
a Food Is Attacked

If the water is drained offl This
product was almost bone dry (1,3
per cent Of 'water)-another reason
for legitimate higher cost. In our
opinion it would be better to add less
water--about six cupfuls instead of
cight-for this reason, and cook COW
cred for about one hour; then un-
cover and cook for ten or twenty
minutes, allowing surplus water to
evaporate, adding the milk and but
ter at this point. These are good
enough for salad purposes, and were
evidently very young, tender, small
beans, exceeding in these particulars
many Of the fresh beans as brought
TO our markets.
Carrots and Onions
Veco carrots and onions, also in
tile shaped packages-ready for
soups and stews with no labor or
undue odor-all for Is cents for
enough to serve five personsI These
products take up six to seven times
their weight Of water Containing
only Is per cent Of water as, sold) !;
they take forty minutes to cook and
are mild but sweet and fresh in ia
vor. Like all of this brand they
are chopped rather fine, owing to
the compressed shape, and would be
especially suitable to serve creamed
or au gratin. The excellent paper
wrappings Of these products are also
worthy of note, an inside paraffined
paper being covered again by a neat
blue and white glossy paper Of typi-
cal Dutch tile design.
Note again that 55 per cent Of
the food value in the carrots and
66 per cent of the onions can be
thrown away in the drained water,
so either use this for soup or thicken
it and serve as sauce, or care
fully regulate cooking and water
so added that it is nearly absorbed
or evaporated when the vegetable
is done. Six cupfuls of water was
absorbed by two ounces of the dried
carrots.
The lime in the carrot is a valu-
able food element and 0.4 per cent
was found in this package, just
about the proportion that would be
expected, as compared with the fresh
carrot containing SO per cent OF
water.

An Anguished Protest

Director Tribune Institute.
Dear Madam: Some kind
friend sent me your article
published in The New York
Tribune of Sunday March 19,
on "Dehydrated Fruits and
Vegetables"
The vivid description Of
tempting dishes prepared from
dehydrated products was too
much-1 just have to write
you. I do not mean to i7npug7s
yoer m,otive IN painting such
an ollua'i7ag picture for tho
Maadless Housekeeper, but as
the husband of one of these, I
a0ish to enter my protest.
The advertising propaganda
Of those who peddle dehydrated
fruits and vegetables to the
public may fool the mind, but
the products themselves will
never fool the palate. I tex
listed" on dehydrated vege-
tables for some time in Uncle
Sans army, when real food
was not available, and I can
say truthfully that I almost
envied the horses their oats.
Dehydration is supposed to
take the water out Of the ap-
Piles, peaches, carrots, etc., but
I can testify that it also takes
out almost everything else that
permits the victims of the proc
ess to be classified as foods.
Nature is wonderful, but if
she could recognize those de-
hydrated remnants as her
luscious fruits I believe that
she is even more wonderful
than any one has ever i'm
agined. I'D. C.

Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Pie
Always in Season
The Cookellized sweet potato meal
is an interesting product and it
makes delicious pie. There was
only per cent of water in this meal
(the original potato probably had at
least SO per cent?, per cent of po-
tein and nearly 10 per cent Of sugar.
There were no foreign starches-it
was all sweet potato. Three-quar-
ters of a pound cost only 80 cents.
One-third of the package, or 10
cents worth, absorbed two cupfuls
Of water when cooked thirty-five
minutes in a double boiler. A raw
starch taste still persisted, so it was
cooked over the direct flame for
fifteen minutes longer A very de-
licious saucer pie and two tartlets

the package was followed, milk, egg,
sugar and spices being added as
usual.
The sugar pumpkin deserved It's
name and also made excellent pie,
as it was As per cent sugars, 8 per
cent protein, and only 16 per cent
water. 1t took up eleven times itn
weight of water when cooked.
''How Dry Am" should be the slo-
gan Of these products. The potato,
by the way, was even dryer, having
only 10 per cent Of water and TAX
ing up As its own weight (note
that fresh potato is 63 per cent
water and pumpkin SO per cent, so
the claim that these vegetables
''come back" is literally true).
The directions accompanying both
of these brands are more carefully
worked out than usual and can be
closely followed, except that some
times the amount of water used is
rather large unless its waste can be
avoided.

n He outstanding point about
the Cookellized and Veco

THE outstanding point about
the Cookellized and Veco
4 brands is that they call for
no soaking. The main point for the
cook to determine is just the right
amount of water to be added, for
you do not want to drain off cooking
water and lose soluble food ele-
ments, and, on the other hand, you
must have enough water or the de-
hydrated foods will not be as tender
and as perfectly refreshed as they
might be and may burn. The dan
ger Of throwing away food elements
in surplus drained water has often
been pointed out in regard to fresh
vegetables, but is probably even
more important here.
Nearly all want to be put % in
boiling water; the cranberries and
the corn are exceptions; they cook
up better in cold water and refresh
more perfectly.
Cranberries Always ON Tap
Cost per portion Is another inter-
esting thing to work out. When you
pay IS cents for 2.5 ounces (2.5
cupfuls) Of cranberries it seems
rather high. But wait minute. In
