Company presented bill of $500 for juno
lighting. accompanied with the modest
demand for q warrant on July payment

Adulterated Food.

One of the Deputy State Food and
Dairy Commissioners was in Bellaire
some time since, and the following re-
port of an analysis of some of the things
he gathered up on his visit:
Raspberry preserve produced by Ear
nett & Co., Wheeling, and sold by
Schramm Bros, Bellaire, analyzes total
solids SO3S and acid OSO, ash OBJ, gela-
tine, none salicylic acid high amount.
Showing that the preserve is highly
charged with saiicylic acid.
Ounce butter produced by Flaccus
Bros, Wheeling, and sold by Harvey
Bros, Bellaire, is total solids 64.75, acids
OSO, ash 0S4, gelatine none, this butter
being also highly charged with salycycle
acid.
Currant jelly, produced by the Scotch
Preserving Company, of Bellaire, and
sold by A lockwood, Bellairc, is total
solids 1885, acids O66, ash O45, gelatine
none, the product being apple jelly col
ored with corraline.
Pepper, produced by Simon Baer's Sons,
Wheeling, aud sold by T. Clegg, Bellaire,
is ash $40, roasted cocoanut shells, ground
rice, turmeric, shells and suspicion of
pepper
From the above it would seem that it
is not necessary to go far from home to
find adulterated food, and also adulterated
in a dangerous manner.

Christmas night. The school is not so fiOufiShing
