wcr..ing orler it will keep New York in
formed concerning what it ought TO eat, If
il has any partially for pure food IL is
already Incorporated, and offices have been
selected near the Fifth Avenue hotel.
The scheme is an outcome of the food ex-
hibition at the Lenox Lyceum. In fact.
the company is headed by the same gentle
men who made that enterprise SO glorious
a success as the greatest free luncheon the
world has ever seen. That energetic fair
promoter and manager, A. b. De Frece. is
the president and general manager, q. f.
Bussing is treasurer and business man
ager, and Edward Ralph is the secretary
The prospectus of the company promises
lot az good things, Mr.. De Frece particu-
larly being emphatic in his declarations Of
the immense benefits the public is to de
ryesfrom il.
The American Healtheries company in
tend as the chief end of its existence to es-
tablish and maintain just such exhibitions
on this side of the ocean as have proved
such great successes in England. IL in
tends, its circulars say, TO illustrate and
explain. both by practical exposition and
publication, all manner Of food and drink,
as well AS generally investigating all such
appliances and methods AS may be in the
line of health and comfort BY exact
chemical and microscopical analysis the
company will ascertain and make public
the true condition of the food and drink
offered TO the public and will inform the
Individual consumer upon application OF
any Information in this particular he may
desire
Ii is expected by the incorporators of the
company that they will not have TO charge
for the information they have occasion to
give out The food exhibition gave net
profit OF $4,000, aud this company believes
that il can do quite rs well as this, II not
better, with its annual exhibitions. Thus
the expenses of the venture will be paid,
the surplus being devoted TO the erection
OF building that may be used as the per
manent home of the company.
Besides the board Of management, whose
members have been already mentioned.
there will be board of chemists, com
posed OF three Of the most widely known
chemists of this city. All analyses will be
made by them, and the reports Of the com
pany will be signed by them. In this way
the corporation will act as sort Of sup
Elemental board Of health, the chief adj
vantage OF it being that il will devote all
OF its time aud energy in single direction
In addition to all Of these good things
this company will publish either weekly
or monthly periodical, in which will be
given announcements of the new food in
the market. with carefully prepared analy-
SEES of their composition, and warnings or
advice to the public. The income Of the
"Healtheries,' after its expenses have been
paid. its building fund given a certain per
centage aud so on. will be distributed to
some worthy charity
Thus. say the gentlemen at the head OF
the enterprise. the "Healtheries" will be in
every sense beneficent institution, mas
much as it is an assurance TO the public
that its health is being looked after, so far
as food is concerned, but it will act also as
a dispenser Of charity. New York Herald.
