Since food officials have condemned the use of chemical preserva- 

 tives and coal-tar colors so severely, they are disappearing from the 

 market. Some manufacturers claim that they can make a better 

 product by the use of chemical preservatives than they can without 

 them, but their claim is not borne out by the facts in the case. Most 

 of the high-class manufacturers are discontinuing the use of both 

 coal-tar dyes and chemical preservatives, and the latter are used only 

 in the medium and lower grade products. 



Twelve samples of these products were examined and only four 

 were found to contain chemical preservatives. It is to be hoped that 

 the use of these preservatives will be entirely discontinued in the near 

 future, especially where they are unnecessary.
