SPURIOUS PRODUCTS.

If there Is no law there should be
one to reach offenders such as those
who sent consignment Of California
wine to Mexico, where 1t was seized as
adulterated, and turned out to have
been treated with salicyIic acid. The
managers of the California Wine Asso-
citation, according to the San Jose
Herald" admit that they We're to
blame, saying that the wine was a
cheap lot and they were neglectful con-
corning it in sending it away without
testing it. The claim Is also made that
the acid used is not injurious to health
TO the consumer, but on that point
about all men will take issue with the
association.
But there is law to reach such of
tenders. The Pure Food Act embraces
just such cases; is intended to meet
precisely such offenses. Perhaps there
might be some question concerning jur-
isdiction, since this wine was sent out
OF the country for disposal. But the
doctoring was done in this State. The
Mexican Government charges that the
wine in this case is worse than doc
tored, that indeed it is not wine at all,
but is chemical manufacture
1t is bad for the State when pure
grape juice expressed from California
grapes is doctored, but when a wholly
spurious article is passed off as Califor-
MIA wine, the case is greatly aggra-
waited. There is nothing of which
California ought to be so jealous as
the reputation of her products for
upon their high standing abroad
her prosperity largely depends. If
our food products go abroad with
our label and prove TO have been
adulterated at home or doctored abroad
SO as to make very little original
stock represent a large volume of ap-
parent product, the State Is injured
sadly, and the maleficent influence Of
the crime is only with the utmost diff
Guilty negatived, and in most cases is
never wholly removed from the minds
of consumers.

Coin" Harvey has come out Of his
cyclone cellar into which he retreated
on the Sth of November, to say to the
nation at large I'VE must arouse
ourselves and organize in a practical
way, or the conditions in Europe and
Asia will soon be those of the Ameri-
can people" Is that so? Really, we
may be pardoned for indulging in the
belief that the people of Asia and
Europe would on the whole be precious
glad to be in the condition of Ameri-
cans as rule. OF course, Harvey re-
fers to financial policies as on that
subject he has a fad, but in view Of
present concern about expansion,

Chestnut StufRng for the Turkey.

Turkeys are best roasted un-
stuffed" writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer in the
Ladies Home Journal" But people
have, however, become so accustomed
to the flavor Of the stuffing in the meat
of the fowls that it seems almost impos-
sible to get along without it. Bread
stuffing is, no doubt, the most objec-
tionable Of all. Acting as sponge, 1t
draws the juices from the meat, leav-
ing 1t dry and tasteless. Chestnuts are
much to be preferred, and where these
cannot be procured sweet or white pota-
toes, or even rice may be substituted.
All must be boiled before using. For a
ten-pound turkey one quart of Spanish
or two quarts of common chestnuts will
be required. Shell, blanch and boil
them. until tender. Drain, mash and
chop fine; add a tablespoonful of butter,
teaspoonful Of salt, and a saltspoonful
of pepper. Mix, and stuff into the tur-
key"

OUR TRADE ADVANCE

The nation is astonishing itself. The
telegraph tells us that as the statisti-
clans are bringing their totals to a close
in the Treasury Department for the dy-
ing year, 1t is discovered that the ball
ance of trade in our favor is going to
exceed the most vivid and optimistic
expectation. Our imports have much
declined while our exports of produce
and manufactures have gone upward by
leaps and bounds For 1893 the ex-
ports of the nation will exceed 81, 200
100000. While we have thus been ad-
vancing English trade has stood still
comparatively speaking. Our Novem-
Der trade smashed all records. Our ex-
ports Of domestic merchandise in that
month amounted to S127, ,4S3, ,467, beat
ing last years December record by
Our total exports for the same month
amounted to S129, 1885 which makes
the November exports for 1898 $13, ,O00.-
600 in excess of those of 1897 and S42,-
100000 in excess of the exports of the
same month three years ago.
