THE ADULTERATION OF FOOD
PRODUCTS.
From the New Orleans Times-Democra..

| From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
| The report of DR.. Metz, chemist of the
| Board of Health, who has just begun the
work of Analysing our food products for
the purpose of determining if they are
adulterated, to what extent and whether
the articles used in adulteration are in
furious, shows an even worse condition
of affairs than was imagined,
We have already commented upon
Pref. Metz's experiments with cream
cheese. In his report to the board he
goes more fully into this subject, show
ing the great extent to which the public
has been defrauded. The so-called
cream" poured over the cheese, and
which is largely consumed here, is, he
points out, rarely what it purports to be,
but, as he properly styles it, ''a mon
strous fraud" a decoction of sour milk,
boiled starch and the white of eggs.
This ''monstrous fraud" contains only
from to per cent of fat; whereas, it
ought to contain 54 per cent, and Is 20
per cent water instead of AZ. Some of it
has putrid nauseating odor, and it Is
actually in a state of fermentation. This
cream was not the only article analyZed
by Professor Metz, and large majority
of those examined were found similarly
adulterated. 1t was believed, for in
stance, that in Louisiana, the greatest
producer of molasSes in the world, it
was possible to secure pure article, yet
of sixteen samples analysed, nine, or
more than half. were found TO be adult
Grated with glucose and other substances.
Pure molasses seems to be as difficult 10
find here as in New England. 1t is prob
able that further investigation of the
matter will disclose a similar condition
of affairs in regard to other articles of
food, showing how necessary is this
bureau and how important it Is to fully
enforce the law against the adulteration
OF food products.

Schweinfurth, the crank who believes
himself to be Christ again come to earth,
seems to be the first of family of re-

himself to be ''the second child of God

started in to redeem Chicago, but evil

fatiguing one, as he puts off preaching
the devils funeral sermon $50 years.
Schweinfurth don't say as much in so
many words in regard to Kansas City,
but the circumstance of his leaving there
comprehends even more.

A citizen of North Topeka named
Moore disappeared about a month ago in
such manner as to throw some mys-
terry around the incident. His wife nor
friends were unable to account for the
strange occurrence and had about con-
cluded that he had been foully dealt
with and his body effectually concealed.
The report came to Topeka Monday that
Moore had been seen in Denver by par
ties who were well acquainted with him,
since his disappearance from home, but
this only adds to the mystery of his sud-
den departure from home and family
without an intimation of such intention.
If there is money transaction connected
with the case it will probably be worked
up by the parties in interest; if not, it
will probably be dropped and Moore's
whereabouts dismissed from public
thought.

A man named Powers, up in Iowa,
has been theorizing upon the subject of
rainfall and how it may be produced in
seasons of drouth. He bases his theory
upon the effects great battles have been
known to exert upon the atmosphere.
He has made calculations as to the cost
of the great guns, powder, electric bat
teries, wire, etc., and estimates that the
first cost of the plant necessary to bring
a laundering good rainstorm would be
S161, $50. The cost of each experiment
after the plant is started would be $780,
795, but Mr.. Powers considers that a
good rain which would save a seasons
crops would be cheap at that. After the
system is perfected he declares that each
experiment will cost a little less than
S21, 600. His theories and calculations
may be all accurate enough, but as long
as the matter remains in the nature of
an experiment it will not be adopted nor
become popular, that is. not at the prices
named.

employed to write a series of tracts, is
said to be the best informed man in the

the world. He has attracted worldwide
attention during the past two years by
his magazine articles on cereal produc-
tons and railroad questions. He has
given these subjects Intelligent, compre-
hensive and exhaustive study.

In a recent publication in England Mr.
Herbert Spencer says, among other
things:
1t is surprising with what light hearts
people are led to abrogate the order of
nature and to substitute an order of their
own devising. All life on the earth has
risen 10 its present height under the sys-
tenn of parental obligation. The process
has SO worked that the best nurtured off
springs of the best parents have survived
and maintained the race, while offspring
inadequately nurtured have failed TO
leave self-supporting posterity. Andnow
it has come to be thought that these
stong, parental feelings which in billions
of creatures throughout millions of years
have worked so benefcially, may, with
advantage, be replaced by public senti-
ment working through state machinery.
The replacing of parental responsible
ties by social responsibilities will inev-
itably cause degradation and eventual
extinction
