Show FAKE FOODS FOR FIGHTERS. In a recent issue we translated an article from a French paper exposing some of the frauds that are perpetrated perpe-trated on soldiers at the front in the way of foods especially of preserved fruits From Germany, by way of The Journal of the American Medical Association (Chicago, July 10), comes the news of even more extensive frauds, exposed in the German technical tech-nical press by the Director of the Chemical Laboratory of the Berlin Police DepartmenL The food-faker is of no particular race his aspect is truly International In Germany, we are told by The Journal, fraud has been promoted by the custom of sending send-ing Liebesgaben, or "love-gifts," to sons, brothers, or sweethearts in the army. The loving mother, sister, or fiancee buys what Is offered her with little question, and the trustfulness of womankind Is thus capitalized by the Teutonic faker in a way that would doubtless be characterized ps typically "American" If the perpe- IH trators did business on this side of IH the Atlantic.
