Dairy Commissioner Report
Shows There Is Much
Impure Food in This
State.
Especial 10 '.rhe Jersey city News.p]

Especial to s.The Jersey City News."]
TRENTON. Dec. 6, lS9s.-The first years
work under the pure food and drug act
in New Jersey has just been completed,
with the result that State Dairy Commis-
sioner Mcguire has collected 752 samples
of food and drugs. which upon analysis
being made showed that FOG of the num-
her were aduiterated. The Investigations
made during the year show that a large
portion of the tomato catsup sold in the
State is adulterated. Other articles that
are very literally diluted are honey, syrup
and cream Of tartar.
During the year Commissioner Mcguire
collected and analysed eighty-foursamples
of tomato catsup, and of that number
forty-four were found to contain salicylic
acid and forty samples were free from
any preservative. The State Board Of
Health's attention has been called to this
free use of salicylic acid. Camden,
Gloucester, Jersey City and Hoboken are
the places where the adulterated samples
were chiefly found.
Thirty-seven out of sixty-three samples
of honey examined were found to be
aduiterated. The adulterants used were
either glucose, cane sugar or bota.
Thirty-seven out Of forty-nine samples Of
syrup examined were found to be adul-
terated. The adulterant used in every
instance was glucose and the adultered
samples came largely from Camden and
Gloucester.
Examinations by the department show
that there is considerable chicory still
being used in coffee but this is not at all
harmful except that ii is a commercial
fraud on the customer if he IS not in
formed Of its presence. Chicory, the
Commissioner says, adds very much u
the favor of low grade coffee. The Com
missioner says that cream of tartar was
far more largely adulterated than any
other article examined. Fifty-four out Of
one hundred samples examined, were
adulterated. The article is adulterated
with starch and sulphates. The adult
terated cream of tartar was found in all
sections of the State and during the COM
ing year every possible means will be
exerted to prosecute any dealer handling
the bogus goods.
OF sixty-one samples of molasses ex-
amined, twenty-five were found to be i'm
pure. the adulterant used being glucose
Fifteen samples Of maple syrup examined
were all found pure. :

n first class place, as the maid had
been with her seven years.)
Visitor-"Well, you tell her I'd like
TO see her and pray with her"
Maid-"I don't believe, ma'am, she
has time to be prayed with today.
She's very busy getting new dresses
made"
Visitor lin an ominous tone)--"Girl
your mistress will have to take time
to die, and with her poor soul un-
clothed, in spite of all the fine things
she is putting on her body, what will
she do them"
The maid looked startled, but was
not disposed to turn a fanatic loose on
her mistress and was obdurate in her
insistence that she could not be seen.
Finally, when she went up and told the
lady of the house of the queer request,
the latter was at first somewhat dis
mayed at the idea of having a state
ment made with authority that she
was too busy to be prayed with, but
was nevertheless relieved at not being
drawn into such a session. The wo-
man, upon the refusal of an audience,
calmly announced that she would sit
while, which she grimly proceeded to
do.
Many who have received these invi-
tations have felt uneasy lest this per-
son might be using her religious fer
for as pretext to get into their houses
and do sneak thieving. There is really
nothing to be feared on this point, as
the woman is perfectly sincere in her
object, and has no intention of doing
anything except for the good of her
victims sonuls. Doubtless her prayers
will harm no one, and excepting that
it is now no longer fashionable for
even ministers to utter prayers aloud
during an afternoon call, the exper-
fence need not be feared. 1t is only
an instance of what a person may do
when a hobby is fanatically pursued.
Some have a mania for a wheel, 9TH
ers for pug dogs and others for collect
ing pewter mugs. The fad for pray
ing with rich women has overtaken
this poor soul and it is perhaps as in
nocuous as any.

HER POINT OF VIEW.

An elderly woman CARRYING an anx
ious face and Bible is making vista
lions those days upon ladies in affuent
positions in this city. Many of the
hostesses are out of town, but the
elderly woman is occasionally FORUM
ate in finding them at home. If she
car gain an audience she immediately
proposes to pray with the benighted
house mistress who is, generally
speaking, too astonished to demur,
even if she happens to entertain OBJ
Jections to that precise method OF
eVangelization. The visitor
usually remarks that NOWADAYS most
people seem TO think the only ones who
need praying for are in the slums or
among the poorer classes. For her
part, her heart aches for the rich ones
VINO are really being neglected. Their
minister daren't tell these influential
parishioners that they are poor, miser-
able sinners and that their fine clothes
are but as filthy rags in the sight of
the Lord. Their rebukes are all di-
rected to those outside the first circles
and these poor women with their emp
ty lives and shrivelled souls go on to
eternal death with nobody to tell them
that they are doomed. She proposes
TO make up for this long neglect and
In her way to constitute herself a sal
walton army to the high classes in
stead of the masses.
Nearly always the hostess finds her
self In the vortex of an actual PRAYER
meeting and has a half terrified vision
or herself Oh the anxious seat in an
old-fashioned Methodist revival Not
even the hymn singing is omitted and
before the services" close she has had
mixture of sensations difficult to
classify.
Occasionally the evangelist strikes
an impossible house maid who is dis
posed to argue the matter when the
visitor tells her errand. The followip,,
conversation took place on the front
door Of a palatial residence on CLAW
avenue the other day:
Visitor-Good afternoon. Are you
saved from eternal damnaton:
Maid docking mystified)--"W
ma'am?"
Visitor-"Do you love the Lord? Is
your soul saved?"
Maid lin a relieved tone)-"Im not
o. the same faith as you. but think l
shall be saved"
Visitor-"Is your mistress saved ?
Does she love the Lord?"
Maid (rather doubtfuIly)-Im not
sure, na'am; l guess she does. Any
way she IL good lady" (Which was
All excellent recommendation and
should secure that particular mistress
