HOW TO SAFEGUARD PUBLIC
AGAINST CANNED FOOD

Food dealers may safeguard the
public against unwholesome foods by
making careful inspections of all lots
received before they are offered for
sale, says the Bureau of Chemistry Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. Although the food canning
industry is now SO well developed that
most of the products put up in this
way are safe and good, the safety of
the consumer may be still further in
creased if the retailer keeps in mind
the following suggestions:
Inspect every container when you
open the case.
No "swell," Springer clipper" OF
'leaker" should be accepted or sold by
you. In glass, examine the cover an :
the seam, inspect the contents for
signs of sopilage. Do not tolerate
any spoiled product upon your
shelves
If a lot shows many swels, reject
the lot. Do not take the responsible
ity of sorting a bad lot of cans and
selling those apparently good.
You are entitled to demand we'll
exhausted pack, every can showing
good vacuum, with clean and bright
metal.
Your customers are entitled to the
same protection. Even a trace of
swell should prevent the sale of can
to any customer.
No spoiled cans should ever be re-
processed.
The removal of every container
showing a sign of swell will go long
way toward preventing food poison
ing.
Rigorous withdrawal of all packs
showing extensive spoilage is imper-
J ative.

STOP FLIES FROM
TORMENTING COWS
Home Made Remedy Helps Control
Fostering Insects.

Flies swarming around the dairy
COW tend to lessen milk production.
In the hot weather everything should
be done to help the fly annoyance
around the COWS. Many sprays Of
good quality are on the market which
work well in keeping the flies away
from the cows but they are somewhat
expensive.
A good fly spray for COWS, and one
that is used in Iowa, is also recon-
mended by Don Magruder, extension
dairy specialist of the State College.
1t will keep the barns free from these
pests and may be made at home by
using y quarts coal tar dip, Az
quarts fish oil, 8 quarts whale oil,
quarts of coal oil and IL quarts of
oil of tar.
Dissolve pounds of laundry soap
in water, add the ingredients of the
spray and bring the whole up to 80
gallons of luke warm water. This
spray will keep off flies, and prevent
the coats of the animals from becom-
ing harsh. Cows should be sprayed
twice a day, in the morning after
milking and in the afternoon when
in the barn for their silage and green
feed. Thirty gallons of the mixture
will spray 40 cows twice a day for ten
days at a small cost per COW per day.

STRIKE
SETTLEMENT
DELAYED

High hopes were entertained early
this week of the railroad strike being
settled, but the report Tuesday that
the railroad presidents had refused to
grant the strikers seniority rights, as
requested by President Harding,
blasted those hopes.
The officials of the union voted
Wednesday to accept the presidents
proposals for ending the strike, but
with the railway heads refusing to re-
store seniority rights the whole mat
ter seemed to be thrown back into
the hands of the president, and no
one seems to be able to conjecture
what the next move will be or to
suggest a method of peacably set
Ting the controversy.
The men on strike-in fact all rail
way employees-are of the opinion
that government operation of the
roads will have to come before a
settlement is effected.

The Commissioners today are con-

which has been waged many times
in the past for a more stringent law

other deadly weapons in the District

AS the District code is now worded
all that a bootlcgger or hold-up' man
has to do to obtain a pistol with
which to shoot down policemen OF
pedestrians IS to give the dealer his

The dealers all file a record OF
