The analysis OF the sample was placed
before the Senate and forms a part OF tho
records before the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and shows that the "mineraline'
is ground clay. 50 per cent Of which Is not
even soluble in acid. Other -four sSults-
rants which the tax measure viii reach
are barytes -four, or ground rock, which
adds to the Wilderness as well as the
weight of the -four with which II IS
mixed so that the unsuspectinG pur-
chaser not only has his health injured b.
the mixed product. but IS swindied In
the price of IL at the same time. A more
common adulterant than either OF these
mineral fours is Underground corn holr,
with the gluten and sugar exhausted ana
bleached with sulphuric acid. We have
recently published a full and detailed sx-
posure Of the very general use OF thls
adulterant by -four manufacturers, IN
which Il was noted THAI they found the
readiest and largest market for their pro-
duct in the Southern States. IL is MT
necessary 10 repeat the story here but II
is reassuring 70 know that the tax meL-
sure viii apply 10 this fraudulent product
also.
The letter of the North Carolina
manufacturing swinders speaks for "
self and calls for no comment, except IS
10 the ignorance and general incapac!V
OF public authorities, who will allow the
communities under their care 20 be SUB
jected 70 so vicious frauds without mt
ing hand 10 prevent or punish them. IN
the absence OF effective action by con
gress, the people OF most OF tho Southern
States, Of South Carolina among others
would remain the ready victims OF tne
swindlsrs ior years 70 come. The state
is known 20 be full Of the adulteTate1

every household, and not che EFFORT hss

IS we'll known that the Federal statltes'

temptation OF dishonest manufacturers 70
