Mainly Practiced-
Recent Investigations by the depart
ment of agriculture of the state Of
Pennsylvania on the amount Of food
adulteration lead 10 some interesting
results. A conservative estimate
places the value Of the food consumed
by the citizens OF the state at $780,
100000, and IL TO this amount Is added
the average estimate of ndulteration.
IL follows that there is lost through this
means S20.0o0.000.
The examinations made by the de-
partment make IL evident that the fol-
lowing items will mainly cover the
worst forms of adulteration: The use OF
salicylic acid In the preparation Of
fruit jams, catsup, ETC.; In such cases
IL is introduced for the purpose OF pre-
venting fermentation, and when eaten
and IL has entered the digestive organs,

milk had been skinned, the cream

fats, not butter. had been added with
the intent of making Up the deficiency.
OF the samples of mustards, two-thirds
were found to be adulterated. Ground
spices, such as cinnamon. black pepper,
ginger, etc, are seldom pure. Many
fruit jams, especially those claiming to
be strawberry and raspberry. were
found to consist largely of starch paste,
