14 FOODS TH M:stroy ° R AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT tiSSWB&Sf By ALFRED W. McCANN Olie very stamina of the nation, the health of its animal industry, the wholcsomeiicss of its milk, butter, cheese. uinit and children depend upon the capacity of the people to bring an end to vicJous poUtieal conditions which convert o|ir asri ctiltural activities into travesty and turn the evils growing out of them into ]K)tential tragedy. While food riots were making Feb ruary, 1917, memorable in many American cities, politicians, seeking the favor of tho farmer, tilling his mind with hope concerning the great things that are being done in his in terest and for his benefit, and satis fying the appetites of the people with queer sophistries, were still hopelessly indifferent to many of the great issues not only underlying the present high cost of living but the very integrity of our future food supply. They knew that every brewery in the United States was turning its de natured waste, known in the trade as brewers' grains, wet and dry, over to contractors, who sell such food to farmers at prices that vary according to the gullibility and helplessness of the man who makes the purchase. Last year the Farmers' Food Com pany, of New York City, collected from the brewers of the metropolis alone 5.000.000 bushels of boiled out ■waste, all of which was sold as the food of dairy cows at prices ranging from 4 to 28 cents a bushel. The breweries of Rochester, Buf falo.. Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Phila delphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville, Chicago, Milwaukee, etc., were contributing their millions to the same heap of boiled out refuse. The politicians know, or should know, that the farmer who feeds large quantities of brewery waste to his cows condemns those cows to death and their offspring to physical weakness, thus making the future of the animal industry even less promis ing than its present pitiable state. They know or should know that the ■weak farmer, who is as a rule the poor farmer, is forced to feed his un- 1 Splendid for Bad Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis An Inexpensive Home-Made Rem fdy—ClTf Surest, Quickest Relief.

YOUNG MEN'S BUSINESS j INSTITUTE Ilershey Building Change the Grade of Coal IT has been our experience that a large number of persons are burning coal not suitable for their purpose. Notwithstanding the fact that there are many varieties of coal, on the market, many consumers "worry" along with the same size and kind. Some furnaces require a very hard coal, others a medium grade, while still others a free-burning size will give them satisfactory results In this city we operate two coal yards, one on the Pennsylvania Railroad and one on the Reading Railroad. In these two yards we handle a large variety of sizes and varieties. If your house is not comfortably warm, tell us your troubles, we are sure we can send coal that will give them satisfactory results. SUN-GLO COAL is the trade name for our coal. Sun-Glo Coal is the product of Pennsylvania's best coal mines. United Ice & Coal Co. Forster & Cowden Hummel Sc Mulberry Third & Boa a 15th & Chestnut SU. Also Steelton, Pa. THURSDAY EVENING, dernourished stock with the cheapest food he can lay his hands upon, while at the same time he is forced to pay the highest price for the boiled out refuse that reaches him. The Wicks committee learned through the president of the Farm ers' Feed Company, Gustav Haffer. l-o later than December 18, 191ti. that even the chemists who are mixed up in this boiled out brewery refuse in dustry express under oath consider able doubt concerning the food value of the denatured by-product which our American food officials make ro efforts to control. It is known that a diet of boiled meat fed to dogs without its soup ex tractives, will bring about the death of the dogs in a few months. Brewery refuse is boiled meat min us the soup, minus the soluble ex tractives, minus the salts so essential to the health of the animal that feeds upon it. A cow cannot produce milk upon a diet lacking the elements of which milk is composed. Yet, knowing this truth, the wise men who control our Departments of Agriculture do not in form the farmer, who looks to them for light, thai the extensive fepding of denatured foodstuffs to cows ac tively engaged in bearing calves or in producing milk is followed by a loss of vitality and lowered resistance to disease. The food commissioners or the United States know that a eow pv |s l ie< ' to the limit of functional excitement ir. the production of milk must col lapse, must surrender to tuberculosi.;, must die when fed on foodlcss food or denatured food. Notwithstanding these facts, ilie food commissioners, commissioned by act of the Legislature to eocercise su pervision over the purity and whole someness of concentrated commer cial feeding stuffs, have for years played into the hands of the manufac turers and shippers of adulterated or misbranded stuff at the expense of tho farmers of the present and the ani mal industry of the future. Ndt only are the people of \he United States eating bob veal; not only are they eating the flesh of tu bercular animals: not only are they complaining of the scarcity and high cost of veal, beef, lamb and pork, but they are tolerating a condition which means that the future, not far re moved. unless these evils are correct ed. will call upon them to face hard ships never dreamed of in these days of reckless waste and money-pursuing selfishness. The very stamina of the nation, it the facts cited here are really facts, is threatened. The very travesty of to-dav unless heeded now is destined to become the tragedy of to-morrow.
