Adulteration of Food Products

p. T. Barnum's saying that the people
like TO be humbugEed was to all appear
ances never so true as at the present
time. According to the testimony of DR..
II. w. Wiley, chief chemist of the United
States department OF agriculture, before
the senatorial pure food Investigation
committee in session in Chicago, there are
comparatively few products consumed as
food at the present time which are not
successfully adulterated. He says that
fully ninety per cent of the articles of food
and drink manufactured and used in the
United States are frauds. This may APP
pear to be something of an exaggeration,
but it is no secret that a very large pro-
portion of our prepared food products, are
iadulterated.
Some of the schemes resorted to by the
perpetrators of these frauds are amusing
as well as ingenious, such for example a.
the sprinkling of grass seed in apple sauce
so as to give the preparation the appear.
ance of strawberry jelly, and preparation
of coffee in the berry from -four paste and
coloring matter. AS a matter of fact the
| ingenuity exhibited in these various di
rectons is worthy of a better cause, al
though it could not easily secure better
profits than it thus enjoys.
The people of the green mountain State
will be particularly interested in DR.
Wiley's statement ir relation to the imita
ton of one of Vermont's famous products
He says that not only is maple suga
adulterated by the free use of granuateC
and other sugars. but maple sugar is as'
sold which in point of fact contains not
particle of the product of the maple tree
At Davenport Ia. maple sugar of thi
character is manufactured out of BROW
sugar and an extract of hickory bark. as,,
what is more he says 1t is impossible 70
chemists to distinguish between the gen
uine and the spurious product. He say
the extract Of hickory is about the sam
as the naples flavor, and the sugar thu
Favored is not deleterious.
All this is interesting but the fact re
mains that the people of Burlington wer
; obliged this spring to pay sixteen cents
pound for maple sugar Of uncertain ag
and unknown ingredients. If residents c
| States which do not produce genuln
| maple sugar were forced OF the plea c
: Vermont's scarcity to pay an exorbtar
price for a combination of sorghum an
hickory, the sugar trust was completed
outdone in the matter Of extortion by tn
producers Of spurious maple sugar.

before the Interior department, Mr.. Dea'
witt sent out circular sometime since
severely crticising the present adminstra'

matters and this is understood TO be tht
cause of the debarment. While 1t seemed
10 us that the criticism in the circular was
rather severe it is doubtful If the admin

ministration can afford to take such steI
because of a criticism which certainly con
