FISH ARE DYED
White Salmon. Made to Look Like Red
and Sell Higher.

Washington, ID. C.. March 27-The
discovery that white salmon colored
with anelin dye was being sold ms
red salmon here and at Philadelphia
will result in nationwide investiga-
ton TO determine the extent of such
sales and stop them.
The investigation will be conducted
by the bureau of chemistry of the De-
partment of Agriculture which has
charge of enforcement of the pure
food and drugs act. The bureaus in
spectors already have been Instructed
to take samples of all salmon on the
market and condemn any found to
have been dyed.
DIR. Hull ID. Dunbar. assistant chief
of the bureau, said today that the dye
was not likely to cause more than
slight illness, the principal objection
to its use being the fraud involved in
coloring the inferior variety of the
fish to get the higher prices paid for
red salmon.

There are many who cannot go to
