FOOnS THEY BUILD OR I
A VF mJ k3 DESTROY
AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED
TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT
VcChnn b J By ALFRED W. McCANN
In America we tolerate a system
which, as a penalty for endangering
the lives of men on a vast and cruet
scale, imposes a small fine upon a
convicted culprit when the public
grasps the meaning of offenses of this
kind the fining system will be de
stroyed.
Following the accidental discovery
of one of the shipments of putrid
BELL-ANS
Absolutely Removes
Indigestion. One package
proves it 25c at all druggists.!
THURSDAY EVENING,,
' meats to Charleston by Louis Stutz &
Sons, the guilty concern hastily re
moved their stuff to the Terminal
Cold Storage Warehouse. Cold stor
age affords an efficient method of
| hiding from more or less alert offl
i cials decomposing poultry, game, fish,
| eggs, and meat.
| The processes of putrefaction are
arrested at the freezing point, telltale
odors are suppressed, and the com
mercial refrigerator salvages many a
ton of ptomaine-producing food of
animal origin.
. When I informed Solicitor Caffee,
of the department of justice at Wash
ington, of my knowledge of the facts
he asked me to co-operate with the
government to the extent of suppress
ing what I knew for the time being,
assuring me that the department of
agriculture would make every effort
to stamp out the evil traffic.
I agreed to his proposition and said'
nothing. As far as the Stutz case
was concerned the government did
all it promised to do. But it went
no further.
August 7, 1913, the secretary of ag
riculture wrote the attorney general
concerning the case, asking him to
direct the United States attorney to
prosecute the Stutz company vigor
ously and to urge the court to im
pose such sentence as would deter
others from committing similar
crimes.
When the officials saw the letters
that had passed hetwoen Stutz and
Werner congratulating themselves
upon marketing meats described as
"slimy" and "mushy," and boasting
of their cleverness in fooling the bu
reau of animal industry, it was de
cided to make an example of them.
Before the indictment of the Stutz
brothers. Dr. P. J. Styles, professor
of physiology, Simmons' College, Bos
ton, referring to the relatively com
mon cases of ptomaine-poisoning with
which every physician is familiar,
stated through the columns of the
Journal of the American Medical As
sociation, December 13, 1913:
"Meat poisoning is another form
of lntoiicatlon following the eating
of decomposed protein food. Hun
dreds of cases have been reported]
(most of them are never reported).
HARRISBURG gSRQI TELEGRAPH
but little has been said of the pro
tracted convalescence in patients
that do recover."
Ptomaine poisoning frequently re
sults in death when its victim at the
time of the attack is in a run-down
condition. Yet It is quite impossible
to drag a dead body into court and
prove conclusively that Its death was
due to this or that portion of beef
stew, this or that portion of hash, this
or that portion of deviled ham,
minced chicken, sausage, bologna, or
other animal product.
Certain It is that ptomaine poison
ing is so unnecessary, so cruel in its
origin, so savage in the Illness and
pain which it Inflicts upon its victim,
so menacing to the health of the
bread-winner of the household, so
violent In its assault upon the life of
the delicate or undernourished child,
so potent in setting up a train of dis
orders which frequently result In long
periods of Invalidism, that no denun
ciation of those who deliberately
spread It abroad can be too bitter.
It I 3 a striking coincidence that on
the day following the conviction of
Krnest and Otto Stutz, Mme. Oer
vllle-Reache, leading contralto of the
Manhattan Opera House and a singer
of world-wide reputation, died in
Roosevelt hospital, New York city,
from a form of blood degeneration.
following a case of ptomaine-poison
ing contracted while on lier last tour.
The idea that decomposed meat,
deodorized with permanganate of
potash, disguiseii behind spices,
gravies, sauces and staoke, can be
conserved for the food of the poorer
classes should be torn from all
standards of food inspection.
With these facts in mind Assistant.
District Attorney Auchincloss, fol
lowing the conviction of the Stutz
brothers, implored Justice Pope to
impose a jail sentence upon the cul
prits, declaring as his reason for ask
ing such a sentence that trafficking
in meats of such a nature was in
itself sufficiently heinous to Justify
any penalty that lay within the juris
diction of the court, but that in
stealing the government stamps with
which to decorate such meats the
malice of the offenders made clemency
impossible.
Justice Pope replied by imposing a
fine of SI,OOO upon the firm and
promptly released the convicted men
from custody.
