highly important that the food consumed
by her inhabitants should be of pure
healthy character, and in order to deter

rious articles consumed the services of a
city chemist are necessary. In every city
this officer is one of the most important

said that he is especially needed in Dallas

ing to the newspapers of the day
in the great cities and cal statistics, there
are few Of the articles Of food of daily con-
sumption that ought not to be scientifically

are made of alum, terra alba and other
most deleterious ingredients; coffee, rs
we buy, is said to be composed of thicory,
lead and clay Jumps sugar has the most
poisonous compounds in its substance; our
most rehshed syrups are but glucose, muli-
ate Of tin, preparations Of lime and lead. III g
beer we drink is all but II doctored compound

instead of the genuine article; oeomargerine
made of the grease Of dogs, cats and other
animals that have died of disease, passing for

fill up the measure of what we buy to eat.
Is 1t not proper, then, that

The city can well afford to pay him to see

St. Louis Globe-Democrat,

From the St. Louis Globe-Demoerat,
April 25th;
The large house of c. Conrad & Co., 407
to AZ North Sixth street, presented a beauti-
full appearance yesterday. In front of the
establishment thirty evergreens were placed,
which attracted great deal of attention.
This unusual display signited, in addition to
the electric light, that there was 'mething
behind it all, and call within in. iied the
conclusion. The firm prides Itself on being
the original manufacturers and proprietors
of the famous lager of the Budweiser brand.
Every season it becomes nee .sHry for the
firm to make additional improvements in
their spacious building in order to maintain
the lead in the sale of Budweiser and accom-
modate with characteristic promptness their
increasing patronage. The entire establish
ment has been cverhauled, additions made,
ard the latest practical appliances introduced
for the sole purpose of facilitating the hand
ling of the popular drink in any quantity to
suit the purchaser. Although Budweiser is
one Of the most desirable drinks oe the sea-
son, and the depot of c. Conrad Il Co. is the
place to get it without adulteration, yet other
liquids extracted from material equally as
pure may be found there also. The firm is
the sole representative of Kelly's Island
wine, which it WHOLESALERS and retails, together
with full list of other liquors ami wines to
be found in the catalogue of the largest deal
ers. The public was properly introduced to
the tempting refreshments yesterday, and
gave the occasion ''send-of" that will fur
nsh an impetus in the trade that will con-
tinue undated until another enterprising
move is madeto set the business still another
peg ahead of all competitors.
