SEES FOOD Law
AS ineffective
DR.. Harvey Wiley AssaiIs
New Exceptions Made.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Spet. 27.-The
United States Pure Food Law, de-
signed to protect consumers against
the misbranding and adulteration of
food products, has been made a
hopeless paralytic" by executive
orders modifying its original pur-
pose and scope.
This statement was made today
by DR.. Harvey Wiley, famous food
expert and originator of the pure
food law, who said that he is just
completing 600-page book, "The
History of Crime" to detail the
wrecking of the law by adninistra-
tive agencies.
DR.. Wiley, who is SO, and still
going strong, said he hopes to get
something to revive the law by the
time he reaches the century mark.
There's nothing the matter with
the law just as it stands" Wiley
said, "but the people who are sup
pored to be enforcing it have gut
ted it by making all kinds of excep-
lions to its application in particular
cases.
1.-THE result" he said, sis that
alum, benzoate of soda, saccharin
and many other harmful substances
are being used in food products with
impurity."
