MANY states have stringent laws
against food adulteration, but they fail
to check the evil. The last report of
the dairy commissioner of New Jersey
shows that 1896 per cent. of all the
food preparations submitted to him for
examination were adulterated Some
times the authorizations were harmless,
but in many instances rank poisons
were found in articles of everyday con-
sumption. A large percentage Of
canned vegetables, such as peas and
string beans, were found to contain
ropperas, used to give green color,
and number of baking powders had
been "doctored'' with ammonia.

American girls no longer allow it to be
truthfully said that English women ex-

exercise. In walking, rowing, and
many other outdoor recreations Ameri-

American girl allows no other girl in

for grazing. After this season land

mail. One motion Of the arm IS suf1i-

sack after it is unlocked. 1t is not UNI
like q roll top desk in principle. The
box has a double lining, and when the
lid is raised it carries with it the curved
bottom which slides up between the
lining and the outer sides. This per-
mits the boN's contents to drop out be-
low. Mr.. Odell hopes to get the gov
ernment to adopt the box after he has
obtained patent.
