AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED
TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT

CHAPTER SI
The Poison Squalls Which Have 1
Given Semiscientifle or Unscientific
Data to Dietitians Have Proved Worth- j
| less as a Means of Determining the
i True Cliaracter of Any Food or Food
Preservative—Short-Time Experiments ,
i on 'Healthy Adults Cannot Revel In- j
formation that Applies to the Year-ln j
and Year-Out Experience of the Rank
and File of Humanity.
Under the inspiration of an aroused
profession of school teachers, the
| school children, familiar with the poi
son squad cages of the school house
basement, will learn that human poi- j
son squads have been organized at
; regular intervals for the purpose of
i subjecting healthy young men to a
diet of adulterated food In the interest
of science.
They will learn that after a period
of Ave or six weeks the usual results
have been announced, frequently to
the effect that the members oS the
squad "betrayed no noticeable symp- !
toms and experienced no Injurious re
sults."
They will learn that such reports
have appeared in thousands of news
papers, quieting the public mind, dis
arming anxiety and suspicion, and
; sometimes causing the cautious house-
I wife to forget the necessity of watch
fulness in selecting her kitchen sup
plies.
They will learn that these poison
squads have never fought it out to the
! finish, and that the brave youths who
have been fed with these doses of ben
zoate, borax, copper sulphate, sulphur
I dioxide, aluminum sulphate, coal tar
I dyes, hydrogenated fats and other food
; preservatives have never taken all of
[ these delectable substances at any one
I time nor during any one test.
They will learn that the poison
i squad is always confined to one food
drug, never partaking of anv other
j drug during its scientific experience.
\ They will learn that it has been the
I custom in the past to disband the
squad before any subtle, slow-moving,
! insidious process might bring about
serious injury to its members, thereby
giving the food sophisticator plenty of
so-called scientific justification for his
assertion that the occasional cry
against preservatives, food chemicals,
mineral dyes and denatured food is a
bugaboo.
They will learn that all the people
in the world are not healthy young
men and that all of them do not stop
eating at the end of a test lasting five
or six weeks.
They will learn that some of the
people in the world are babies; some !
are school children like themselves;
I some are nursing mothers; some are
| about to become mothers and some
have reached the age where natural
vigor is no longer sufficiently active to
resist even temporary abuse.
They will learn that notwithstanding
i the fact that all poison squad experi
ments have iieen temporary affairs.
! there is nevertheless, on a wonderfully
I organized scale, a poison squad among
little children which has never been
abandoned and which has numbered
j among Its victims in the United States
j 1.500.000 during the last four years.
They wil learn that every time the
I law makes the use of a food chemical
| legal or every time it winks at an
ebuse that denatures a food it makes
' a permanent poison squad of the en
| tire country, not for a few experi
| mental weeks for a few vigorous young
men with a single food chemical, but
! for the entire lifetime of all the men,
j women and children in th 6 country
| with a combination of all the food
chemicals now used legally or illegally
by nn army of food manufacturers.
They will learn that all the little

1
1 children of the United States, whether
j their parents realize it or not, are now
in that poison squad, particularly the
children of the poor and the unfortu
| nate.
They will learn that when the food
drugger puts hU commercial dose into
his commercial product and sends it
forth to perform its commercial dut>
of yielding a profit, he does not know
into whose hands it will fall nor any
thing about the physical condition of
the individual who will receive his
medicated wares.
They will learn that through igno
rance and selfishness in supplying un
fit food for the human family murders
ore being committed every day.
They will lear nthat as life was given
for some good purpose, life's efficiency
I should not be lessened by those who
exploit the needs of life, particularly
the natural foodstuffs upon which life
depends.
They will learn that of the 250 In
fants that die before they are one year
old out of every 1,000 infants born
and of the countless thousands of
adults who die before their time, many
precious lives ci aid be saved if the
tood manufacturer could be made to
I realize the responsibility he takes
upon himself when he assumes that it
j is his right to feed a nation with no
other object before him than profit to
himself.
They will learn that all murders are
not picturesque.
They will learn that the slow-moving,
subtle, insidious undermining of the
health of men, women and children is
murder.
They will learn that individuals have
no right to debase food products, the J
to bring about degeneration, ill health
to bring about degeneration, ill heltha
and death to those who depend for
health and life upon impoverished
food.
They will learn that self-slaughter
is given the widest possible publicity,
but that the subtle slaughtering of ]
the race is given no publicity at all.
They will learn that to hide the
truth by refusing it publicity is to be
guilty of whatever murder is involved
in robbing the people's foodstuffs of
the elements necessary to sustain life.
Thev will learn that if life is sacred, I
everything upon which life depends is
sacred, and the juggling, refining or
denaturing of man's food supply is
sacrilege.
At a time when we are asking that
the schools and colleges should teach
the relative viciousness and baseness
of crime, so that public opinion may
proclaim that mob-murders and self
murders are the most cowardly and
least defensible of all offenses, let us
also demand that the schools and col
leges teach, with their anatomy and
hygiene, the meaning of the presence
jof proteins, carbohydrates, fats and
mineral salts in the diet, so that any
commercial effort to interfere with
these elements for the sake of gain
may be looked upon as a crime against
the sacredness of life.
The school children already know
that the idea of the sacredness of j
human life is universal, through the
fact that the destroyers of their own
lives are denied church burial by sev
eral great branches of the Christian .
religion.
With their chicken-feeding experi
ence before them they will lern that
if the average man, though a stranger,
will afford succor to his fellow to pre
vent a death by violence, it is not too
much to ask of him to help prevent
the continuance of the modern food
crimes, which end so pitifully and
tragically.
They will learn that there is some
thing wrong with society when society
responds with reverence and tears
to the acts of brave souls when they
serenolv yield their lives for the pub
lic good, while at the same time refus
ing to nick up its own little fragment
of public duty, lying at its very feet,
because It does not .find that duty
gleaming with the golden hue of ro
mance.
The chicken experience will teach
the children that if we honor thou
sands of noble men and women who
spend their lives at the hospital bed
side to bring the sick back to health,
there Is even greater honor due to
them who fight beforehand against
preventable disease.

William Penn Highway
Notes
In Cambria countv the commission- j
ers have let f he contract for the con- I
struction of two miles of brick on a j
concrete base, between Ebensburg and
Cresson. The main William Penn
route is from Ebensburg to Loretto,
but many road users go to Cresson
direct from Ebensburg; and it was to
benefit these people that the Cambria
commissioners let the contract for the j
new brick. In GO days six and one
quarter of the eight miles from Ebens- I
burg to Cresson will be of permanent !
road.
The commissioners of Westmore
land county last week put jail pris
oners at work on county roads. With
ordinary labor costing $2.25 a day the
commissioners are saving money, in
asmuch as by law they pay the pris- j
oners only 25 cents a day.
The William Penn Highway Asso- \
elation Is being incorporated under the I
laws of Pennsylvania. The necessary |
papers are being prepared by Attor- I
ney Douglas D. Storey, of Harrlsburg,
the road association's solicitor.
Work on the construction of the ■
four miles of State highway between |
Huntingdon and Millcreek is progress- i
ing slowly. But when this strip is |
completed there will be an unbroken 1
stretch of permanent William Penn
Highway extending westward 113
miles from Millerstown.
The Pike's Peak Ocean-to-Ocean
New York Extension, which leaves the
William Penn at Reading and passes
through Allentown and Easton to New
York, is attracting much attention in j
Lehigh and Northampton counties, j
Twelve miles of concrete road are !
being built between Allentown and I
Easton.
Much complaint is heard regarding
the condition of the William Penn I
Highway in certain boroughs. Under I
j the State laws the district attorney of !
a county may ask the court for a writ
of mandamus compelling borough au
thorities to maintain the streets in I
good condition. Township supervisors
as a rule are far ahead of the smaller
boroughs in their street maintenance
methods.
j In marking poles along the William
Penn Highway the Pike's Peak and
Penn markers will be used In combi- \
nation. On country roads the marker
will consist of a 10-lnch red strip and
a 10-lnch white strip, with the letters |
j "W. H. P." In blue on the white. '
Town and city markers will be more '
pretentious, consisting of the red and
white bands and an additional band i
of blue, 14% Inches deep, on which
will be an outlined keystone with the
device, "W. Penn H." outline and de
vice being in gold. Application is to be '
made to the State Highway depart- |
ment for permission to mark State
roads.
James Macklin, of McVeytown, Mif
flin county governor, and J. G. H.
Rlppman, of Millersburg, governor '
for Perry county, covered the high
way from Harrlsburg to Johnstown
last week and were much pleased with
its condition.
The Northern Central railroad will
fill the bed of the old canal for about
a mile and a half near Speeceville,
Dauphin county, and build an excel
lent road thereon, doing away with
the narrow thoroughfare now In use.
The grade crossing here will be re
placed by an undergrade crossing.
