coffee, tea, sugar and gingelly oil. Seven
samples of milk were adulterated with added
water varying from 6 to 40 per cent. In
29 samples of bread the acidity was found
to be higher than the prescribed limit. Six
samples of ghee were adulterated with foreign
fat in amounts varying from 20 to 95 per cent.

6. The provisions of the Madras Prevention of Adulteration Act, 1918, were extended
to the Salem Municipality during the year. The number of samples submitted to the
Public Analyst for analysis under the Act increased from 1,777 to 3,183. Besides these,
238 samples of food and drugs were also received from Government institutions and four
from private bodies.
The largest number of samples was received, as in the previous year, from the Madras
City (1,157). The number received from most of the local bodies approximated to the
maximum (180) which they are entitled to have analysed, though the number was poor in
the case of Proddatur (26), Karaikudi (53), Salem (71) and the M ē ttupā laiyam Panchayat
Board (35).
7. Of the samples submitted under the Act 35 per cent were adulterated as compared
with 43 per cent in the previous year. The percentage of adulteration was highest in
Mangalore (66). Next came Salem (59), Ootacamund (50), Karaikudi (49), M ē ttupālaiyam
(48) and Coimbatore (47). There were 876 convictions under the Act and fines to the extent
of Rs. 10,652 were realized. The attention of the local bodies concerned is invited to the
remarks of the Public Analyst in regard to the necessity for taking samples frequently from
those who have once been found to sell adulterated food.
8. Revised rules under the Act were issued. during the year. The question of extend
