Feb- 17-— Semdammntmau‘”, beans, labeled as "Red Kidney Beans. but which were long mm beans. was made recently in Chicago On 111101“ mation furnished by M0?“ “’04 “1‘ spectars. Officials of the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture. who are charged with the enforcement of tho Federal Food and Drugs act, have‘received informa- tion that large quantifies of the low- priced red kidney been put up under the label of the high-priced red kidney bean and are being sold to consumers at the higher price.~ Inspectors have been instructed to report for seizure all "shipments so misbranded coming 'wlthin the jurisdiction of the Federal Food and [hugs set. The long cranberry bean costs the canner only about half as much a! does the red kidney bean. yet investi gation has shown that when the long cranberry bean is sold under the label of the red kidney bean, the price to the consumer is as much as the of the genuine red kidney bean. The canner is able to sell the branded red kidn v no? at a lower price than the genuine red kidney beans command and Slili nlhke ‘ a large profit, since he pays only about half as much for the long cranberry bean. The honest canner the packs the genuine red kidney bean is forced to meet the unfair competition of Ihe IOWer-priced product In" under the same name as the higherv Pr’ic'd one. The cut in price wulch the canner makes to the trade is oi no benefit to the consumer, since in'rcstl- gation has shown that the retailer charges the consumer as much for 'he misbranded article as for the genuine. The long cranberry bean, which is imported in large quantities from I: p- an, is an excellent article of food, and there is no objection to its sale and use, under a truthful label, say the of- ficials. The bean looks and tastes V017 much l'ke the genuine red kidney bean, and if sold under its own name could soon establish a market on its own merit, but because its cost is so much less than the red kidney been its sale under the name of the higher: priced bean is demoralizing lo the trade and unfair to the consumer. The officials haVe inaugurated a campa’gn to seize all interstate shipmcnls ol beans Which in this particular violate the Food and Drugs act, , mis- PROHIBITION HELPS BAHAMA.

TILSON WANTS CONGRESS TO FIND WHY HOSIERY COSTS SO MUCH AND PRICES ARE LIKELY TO GO HIGHER VVASHINGTOR D. C.. Feb. 16.— The rapid rise in the retail price of hosiery and underwear has induced Congressman Tilson of Connecticut to ask congress to investigate the cotton yarn situation and see if the prices are due to profiles-ring. He wants the lnlcrslate Commerce Commission to look into the matter and see if a re— duction is not possible before the fall trade begins. , Retail merchants claim the rapid in- crease in their prices is on account of the increase in the price of cotton yarn, and statistics seem to back up their statement. Tilson tried to get the house to at" last week. but Mann of lilinois anr‘cl- ed and the matter had to go over. if It goes before the interstate rom- mcrce committee it will be consider- ed by \Vllslow of Massachusetts and Merritt of Connecticut. both valuabic mcmbeis or that committee.
