realized. There is to he built in
Imperial by George \. Long, a
modern meat packing house, over
which a government inspector will
preside.
The work of construction will be

cattle, hogs and sheep will be in
progress and these products of the
valley will be forwarded to coast

be overestimated. The nation can
have faith In its canned foods"
DIR. Rosenau, quoted above, also
says on this subject: THE process
of canning is practically synonymous
with sterilization and is, therefore,
one Of the best sanitary safeguards
we have against parasites and thu
injurious products of putreiaction
in fo0dstuffs. Canned foods are
sterile foods and, therefore, gener-
ally safer than fresh foods The
process Of canning, discovered by
Appert and afterward perfected by
P2Steur, has proven of ineStimable
benefit to mankind. Canned foods
are not only safe, but quite as
nutritious as the original articles.
The process permits US to have a
well-balanced ration throughout the
year-irrespective of season"
Sound, Wholesome and Safe
DR.. E v. McCollum of Johns
Hopkins University said in a recent
article on this subject of a balanced
ration: Science has come to the
assistance of mankind in providing
ways by which foods may be pre-
served for months or even years,
thus making it possible for people
to have a greater variety in the diet
the whole year through.
"A long list of fruits and green
vegetables are most effectively Orc
served in a wholesome and attrac-
tive form, and for an almost in
definite period if necessary, through
the process of canning. Several
kinds of fish and meats. milk. etc
are also best put up in this form.
No other method serves so we'll 10
conserve the delicate f1avors of fruits
and vegetables as does canning bv
modern processes.
Canned foods are, generzry
speaking, the safest foods which
coa-e to our tables today"
