the Investigation proceeds. The adult

In these Initiation 1ell3es the most
nrom,nent substance used Tor purposes
of adulteration Is glucose, which, be-
ing far less expensive than sugar, re-
duces the cost Of production and m
crases the profit, while the selling

populariy supposed to be harness. Is
one Of the most injurious articles OF

mixing the product with lime. II

Western States.
There is hardly an article Of general
consumption that may not be aduiter-
ated to a greater or less extent, and
the profits OF adulteratiOn are sufficient
to attract the cupidity Of large
numbers of manufacturers who look
only to the profits they may make in
their business. In the manufacture of
baking powders, alum. costing three
cents a pound, may be substituted for
cream Of tartar, costing thirty or more
cents. and. without chemical analysis,
the substitution can not be discovered
save by the dyspepsia, collie, and
heartburn with which the victims are
afflicted. Teas are artificially colored
with poisonous substances, and cOf-
fees are adulterated with chicory,
which In turn Is adulterated with
injurious materials.

''ThOse who lose their lives In con-

gases are produced which have much
the same effect as chlOrOfOrm or SIM

catastrophes n considerable proportion

duced especially when a fire has smOi-

lethal sleep before the actual flames
have reached them.
