GOVERNMENT WARNS © AGAINST SACCHARIN Use of Substance in Place of Sugar Is Condemned. Many Housewives Do Not Understand That Drug Is Serious Menace to Health—Majority of States Prohibit Its Use, The use of saccharin in place of sugar, which many housewives are being tempted to resort to in these days of sugar shortage, may involve menace to the health, and therefore is to be condemned, according to spe- clalists in the bureau of chemistry of the United States department of ag- riculture.
