ADULTERATIoSs OF DRINK.-The Parliament
OF Great Britain takes considerable pains to
protect the public against the authorizations of
food and drink, so injurious often to the health
OF the people. An Investigation was had re-
Gently by select committee Of that body. and
the report has just been made and published
DIR. Normandy, who was examined as to the
authorizations of beer, said that the publican
who sells il adulterates il with common salt to
increase thirst, and with sulphate of iron. cocu-
lus lndicus, sulphate of ammonia, and extract
of gentian. COcutus indcus il used to produce
intoIication, but il is more injurious than the
intoxicating effects of alcohol in the beer There
Il difference of fifty per cent. of alcohol in the
beer after it comes into the publican's hands
Out of fifty samples Of draught porter and stout
examined, only one third of them were the pro-
duce of malt and hops alone The s.mildness,
"briskness' and disguised acidity' even of
the better samples, might be traced to the adul-
teration with foots sugar, or like saccharine mat
ter, liquorice, roasted quassia and sinking fin
ings. Nicotine, alum. copperass, acetate of
potash, and vinegar, are all used to flavor and
color the beer. Many Of those substances are
of a poisonous nature. They are sold usually
by the druggists TO publicans In gin sub
carbonate of p0tass and alum are used, and also
s1lphuric acid and oil Of almonds to produce

Todd's Valley DESTROYED by Fire.

1t is with feelings of pain we have to an
nounce the almost total destruction, by fire,
of the thriving town Of Todd's Valley, in
this county, on Sunday evening last. The
whole business part of the town was destroy
ed, with the exception Of A. A. Ponds fire.
proof brick store building and Masonic Hall,
the fire proof store of Read u Hall, and a
brick butcher shop. We have not received
a list Of individual losses, but the aggregate
is estimated at $4,000.
The fire was undoubtedly tho work of a
william, who, unfortunately so far, has escap-
ed the hsngmans moose. The fire started in
the Pacific Saloon, building in the center
of the village, that had been unoccupied for
some months.
We sincerely sympathse with our neigh
bors of Todds Valley in their loss, AMI fully
appreciate the extent of their misfortune;
knowing by hard experience the loss and
embarrassment that is entailed upon the cti-
zens of a town swept away by fire.
The incendiary has not yet been discov-
cred.
