NEWS OF WORLD
CONDENSED
SHIELDING CULPRITS.
At the meeting of the Board of
Health where the latest report of Food
Inspector Shorey was filed reporters
were notified of a rule that the names
of brands of adulterated articles might
be published but not the names of the
men or firms who work tm?se bogus
products off on the home public. The
nature of the swindle might be ex
posed but the identity of the swindler
must be kept secret. Thus we find in
Mr. Shorey's published report vague
references to watered milk from "Dairy
No. 1 or 2" a designation which means
nothing to the public and conveys no
warning to consumers; or an exposure
of imitation Jelly or catsup in which
the trade mark or address of some dls
V tant and easily-forgotten manufactur
er Is revealed but the name of the local
dealer is omitted.
This rule, while very gratifying 'to
people- who sell trash to their custom
era under an Implied guarantee of pur
ity, will never drive adulterated wares
from this market or even help to do
so. The only way to stop the Illicit
trade is to spoil the business of the Il
licit trader. It does little good to de
nounce brands, because the purchaser
rarely looks at them. He relies upon
his dealer for a good article. Destroy
his faith In that dealer and he buys
nothing more of him and the dealer
gets the strongest kind of n incentive
to do business thereafter on the
square. Experience In all pure food
crusades teaches that the only remedy
for the evil is a publicity so wide that
no party Interested In the marketing
of adulterated groceries, tuberculous
meats and watered milk can escape.
This fubliclty may be had by means
of convictions In courts or by official
exposure In the press or both. Any
thing less than that is mjre by-play.
Three or four yearti ago San Fran
cisco had a pure food movement which,
for the time, carried all before it.
Scores of milk dealers were arrested
and their names given to the public
and 'that ended their connection with
the milk business. The largest dealer
In bogus groceries, a merchant named
Kline, was driven out of the city by
the complete loss of his custom. Sev
eral manufacturers and dealers In Imi
tation catsup, honey, table oil and
wine, shut up shop. The law, there as
here, was more fruitful in technical ac
quittals than convictions, lout that did
not matter, for the moment a buyer
aw In the papers that his dealer was
on the black list he .went elsewhere.
The effect was most gratifying in lift
ing up the general average of food
products on sale. Dealers whose greed
or carelessness had led them to violate
the law either filled up their shelves
with wholesome goods or went out of
trade; and all dealers made haste to
weed out their stocks, fearing every
day an exposure by the press. Hun
dreds of carloads of suspicious goods
were shipped away; some to Oregon,
much to the Interior of California and
to Nevada, some to Mexico and not a
little to Hawaii. Before the swindlers
got control of the Board of Health al
most anything edible for Bale In San
Francisco might be eaten In safety;
and while that condition lasted the
death rate of the city visibly declined.
The public wants to have the same
thoroughness of method here. If a
trap Is set for them, people want to
know where the thing Is to be looked
for and how avoided; they don't care a
continental who manufactured the trap
In the first place.
,
PLUMBING INSPECTION.
Editor Advertiser: I notice the good
work you have done in reference to
plumbing matters, but I want to call
your attention to a most important mat
ter in this respect. You know how im
portant it Is to have good plumbing work
done In our homes; the health of the city
depends upon It. Now from the very best
authority I have It that the new plumb
ing Inspector, Mr. Moore, is not capable
of filling this office, as he never has had
one day's experience In this line and does
not know anything about it.
Some grave error has been committed
somewhere; it's not even probable that
the Hoard of Health would appoint such
a man to such a position If they knew his
unfitness for It.
Kindly look Into this matter and give
an Interested public your Investigations of
It; If It's true, he should give place to a
man who does know; if It's not true no
on i hurt by the Investigation.
Yours,
W. T. WILSON.
The Board of Health acted on the
principle laid down by Mr. Wilson in
the appointment of Mr. Duffy, whereat
the plumbers of the trust laughed a
waxed fat at the expense of the pub
Aner mis experience tne board con
eluded that the wisest plan would be
to give the place to an Intelligent citi
zen of enough practical experience In
engineering to make him a judge of
good work in the plumbing line, yet
one who had no affiliation with the
plumbing trade itself. This was done
and a chorus of protests from the
members of the trust showed that the
board had made no mistake.
It does not do to put a member of
ny given trade In a place where he is
expected to protect the public trSm
the tricks of that trade. His esprit du
corps leads him to stand by his mates.
As for plumbing, its principles ought
to be understood by any good engineer
and they are by Mr. Duffy's successor.
It would not need a carpenter to pass
upon me squareness ox a dox or a
cooper to determine the value of a bar
rel; nor does It require a plumber to
ay whether a Job of plumbing answers
to the specifications. In very many In
stances a householder can tell that for
himself.
