FOOD ADuLTERArIoN.
Some Sensational Testimony Before
Senate Investigators.

Senate Investigators.
Chicago, May 1.-THE senatorial
pure food investigation committee yes.
terday heard some startling testimony
in regard to the adulteratlon of food
products which may prolong its ses-i
sions considerably. Prof. A. S. Mitch
ell, chief chemist of the Wisconsin
dairy and food commission, made the
sworn statement that nearly every
butcher in Illinois used preserving
liquids on scraps of meat which they,
laid aside for the manufacture of
Hamburger steak and other alleged
delicacies. The chemist first told of
his test of a liquid known as free
zine" He said that the stuff had been
used extensively by farmers to keep
milk and butter, it being the custom
to mix it with the former in small
quantities and pour quantities of 1t
into watts for the preservation of but
ter.
This 'freezine' / have found to be
nothing less than almost pure 'FRONT.'
caldehyd,' said the professor, "a
chemical that acts disastrously on the
tissues of the stomach. I can only sur
mise the results when milk diluted
with it is used constantly by a fam
fly. Where butter is placed in watts
filled with this stuff the porous cons
modify takes up no small amount of
the liquid with a result than can only
be conjectured."
The professor proceeded to tell of
his experiments with fluid sold ex-
tensively to butchers for the purpose
of making their Hamburger steak last
and keep up healthy appearance.
"This liquid contains in great per-
centage what is known as sulphide of
soda, with complement of coloring,"
he continued. at is styled an antisep-
tic and in certain respects is. This
must be borne in mind, however, that
where fermentation and waste are ar
rested the digestive properties are
consequently destroyed"
DR.. Wiley, the government expert,
who examined the antiseptic without
going on the stand, said he identified it
as practically the same chemical which
was used during his experience at
medical college to preserve cadavers,
and was now occasionally put to serv-
ice in disinfecting houses where small
poN patients resided.
The common basis for the minority
of jellies manufactured nowadays, ac-
cording to several witnesses, are the
cores and parings of apples, utilized
after they had been evaporated. This
substance, it was claimed, was then
mixed with glucose in large quantities,
and then colored and favored to suit
the outside design of the package.
The testimony early in the day as
snmed the form of debate as to
whether or not the use of alum in the
manufacture of baking powder is in
furious to the public health.
George Rev, a chemist, stated the
injurious characteristics of alum are
destroyed in the process of baking.
Prof. Hallberg. formerly editor OF
the Western Druggist. and Prof
Mitchell combatted this theory and ex,
pressed the opinion that alum should
not be used as an ingredient unless the
public was made aware of the fact by
labels on the cans.
