LAW PROHIBITS COLORS
IN SALAD DRESSINGS

The addition to mayonDafse, salad
dressings, and similar products of a
color which gives them the appear
ance of products with a higher egg
content is prohibited by the federal
food and drugs act, according to a
recent announcement by the food,
drug and insecticide administration
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. The notice to the trads
says:
Accompanying the increase in the
commercial production of mayonnaise
and like products there has developed
a tendency toward the use of artificial
color in such articles. The color
most often used in mayOnnaise or in
salad dressings which resemble mayon-
naise has the effect of giving to the
article the appearance ordinarily re-
suIting from the use of egg. The
federal food and drugs act defines as
adulterated an article of food which
is colored in a manner whereby dam
age or inferiority is concealed. Ths
addition to mayonnaise, salad dress
ings, and like products of a color
which imparts to the finished product
the appearance Of higher egg content
than is actually present brings the
product within the definition Of adul.
teration and the declaration of added
color on the label does not relieve the
article from this prohibition of the
law. This opinion applies whether the
color be of coal-tar or Of vegetable
origin"

Thumbs Out When Ancient Man "Counted?"

~ similar word "novum" means new.
In Greek the two words of the same
meanings are "ennea" and "nea," re-

''neun," "neu"; in Gaelic they are
"noadh" and "ndah,' and so on. The
English word mine" comes from the
German, Mr.. Campbell declares, while
new is from the Scandinavian, yet
both words are much alike.

! CAUSE OF CRACKS IN FLOOR

Cracks in new well-laid floor are
the result of a change in moisture
content within the wood itself. This
change is due to improper preliminary
seasoning; improper storage conditions
at the mill or retail yard; delivery of
the flooring during wet weather or be-
fore the masonry or plaster walls are
dry; or it may be due to the absorp-
ton Of moisture from the air within
the building either before or after the
flooring is laid. The use of the heat
ing plant may be advisable, says the
United States forest service, to main
tain temperature that will prevent
excessive humidity in the building

The words for nine in many mod
