and sold in the country, and he eX-
blamed to the investigators the results
Of bis tests.
For instance, he found pure alco-
boil that had been made of menthOl and
wood sap: brandy that had been man
ufactured of burnt sugar and water;
bread that had been made of potato
-four, and even then adulterated with
alum and sulphate of copper, sub
stances dangerous to the health Of the
consumers of that sort of bread; cider
made of tartaric acid and colored with
caramel; candy made of glucose and
artificial essences and colored with
poisonous substances; canned goods
which had been preserved with salts of
copper; butter which had been manu-
featured from ordinary animal fats
and starch, and in which there was an
excess of salts; beer that had been
and grains other than barley; cheese
that had been made Of Oleomargarine,
with salts of mercury in the rind; cocoa
and chocolate that were compounded of
sugar. animal fats, flour and starch and
tewuginous earths; cayenne pepper

and salt and a sprinkling of red lead;
-four that was made of alum and
ground rice; cinnamon that was made
of caSsa and plain saWdust; ginger that

Genuine coffee.

minutes adulteration may be sus-
pected.
List Practically Unlimited.
The list of articles adulterated and
their authorizations is practically I'M
limited, as was stated by Prof. Wiley
IN his testimony before the Congress
sional Committee. The adulteration Of
coffee and tea will serve as types. It is
stated that most of the spices sold are
wholly fraudulent, as are most of the jel-
lies. Perhaps half of the alcoholic liquors
are prepared from neutral spirits doc
tored and colored to have the taste
and appearance of the liquor demand
ed by the consumer. A type of this
adulteration is the recipe given for
pure country cider" 1t is: To each
gallon of water add one-half pound Of
granulated sugar, acidulate with tar
taric acid, and favor with oil of apple,
previously put in alcohol, color with
caramel, and to twenty gallons Of the
mixture add two gallons Of genuine
country cider.
Frequent cases have been reported
Of late years of sickness arising from
the use of canned meats. The cause
seems mainly to have been improper
methods of canning, or the use of meat
that was tainted before being canned.
According to A. J. Wedderburn, Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, but little risk will be run by the
n11roha cor who 10 rnf11Jlv oyonipas 4ba

hot when sealed. If the heads are con-
vex it shows that decomposition has
commenced in the can.
The total value Of the food supply Of
the United States has been estimated
at $5,O00,O0O,O0O. According to DR..
Wiley's estimate, 80 per cent. of this is
adulterated, or $4,000, 100000. Accord
ing to the American Grocer's figures,
which are the most favorable, not more
than 10 per cent. of the adulteration Is
harmful or injurious to the health.
Taking these statements, the result
shows that there is $45O,O00,OOO worth
of poisonous food products put annual
ly on the country and $4,05O,O0O,0OO Of
fraudulent products.

leaves. Coloring is common ana II
called facing" 1t generally consists
In coating the leaves with powdered
soapstoae, with lead, or plumbago, If
they are to be black, or with the pow
dered soapstone with indigo or Prus-
sian blue if they are to be green. Often
the facing adds materially to the
weight of the tea In England the use
OF exhausted leaves is much larger
than it Is in this country. Spent leaves
are bought up from hotels and coffee
houses at merely nominal prices, and
are dried and faced before being re-
sold. They are easily detected by their
frayed and irregular appearance and
by the small proportion of soluble mat
ter remaining in them
The substitution Of other leaves for
those Of the tea plant is also more
common in England than in the United
States. Yet even in this country it is
well known that foreign leaves can
easily be detected by spreading out a
few Of the leaves from the bottom Of
the teapot. The lanceolate, spear-head-
like shape Of the tea leaf, together with
it's serrated margin, distinguishes it
from that Of any plant used to counter
feitit. Asa rule facings can be detected
only by chemical tests. Green teas are
oftener adulterated than black teas
Tea is often colored, and if the decoc-
ton made by the housekeeper becomes

mineral matter be added the product is
often poisonous to some degree. A few
years ago in France the Government
seized a factory which employed sui

Imitation coffee beans can be distin-
guished easily from the genuine by a
careful examination. Nodded as they
are, the artificial beans present a uni
formity Of structure, which is entirely
foreign to the real beans. Again, arti-
fetal coffee beans will nearly always
sink when put in water, while genuine
coffee floats. There are several simple
and good tests for ground coffee. When
a little Of the coffee is taken and press
ed between the fingers or squeezed in
the paper in which it is bought, and it
will not form a coherent mass, it is
pretty sure to be genuine, but if the
grains cake they are not coffee. Even
chicory grains will stick to each other,
for they are comparatively soft and
open, and adhere without difficulty
when squeezed. In water chicory and

crumbs, while coffee will take long
time to soften; genuine coffee grains
will float, as will the whole beans, but
chicory or any other sweet root will
soon sink. Chicory or caramel will
cause a yellowish or brownish color to
diffuse rapidly through the water, but
pure coffee will not tint the water for

but wholesale loss of life has occurred.
In report made by A. j. Wedderburn,
special agent of the Agricultural De-
partment, he calls attention to many
cases of death. The deleterious SUBJ
stances are usually used through ignor-
ance, one case of record being that in
which death resulted from the use of
chrome yellow, not only to the custom
er, but also to the vender and the mem
bers of his family.
Coffee is perhaps the most extensive
~ adulterated article. Consumers do
not take the trouble to find out wheth-
er their coffee is genuine or not Arti-
hclal coffee beans used to be manufac-
tured with consummate care, but now
adays many producers do not attempt
to Initiate the beans except in color and
size. Spurious coffee beans were for
merly imported from Germany in large
quantities and to some extent from
France. But American manufacturers,
realizing the profit to be made in the
trade, entered the field and now make
better limitations than any that are to
be imported. Flour or almost any
cereal is mixed with molasses and
nodded to resemble the bean and then
roasted and colored. Sometimes chicory
or burned sugar forms a part of the
compound, which, although almost
worthless, is not harmful when COM

COURTS BLOW AT TRUSTS.
Indiana's Supreme Bench on Rights
of Combinations.

Indiana's Supreme Bench on Rights
of Combinations.
The Indiana Supreme Court struck
hard blow at trusts and combinations, re-
versing the case Of the State on relation
of the prosecuting attorney against the
Portland Natural Gas and Oil Company.
The court declares that a public eorpo-
ration which enters into a combination
with other corporations to destroy compe-
tition and thereby raise the price at which
an article is sold to an extent that is det-
rimental or injurious to the public be-
comes liable to forfeit it's corporate fran
chise. The information set forth that the
defendant company had entered into an
actual combination agreement with the
supposed rival company. The Circuit
Court threw the case out on a demurrer
and the State appealed The Supreme
Court holds that when a corporate COM
pany fails in the discharge of It's duties
and enters into combinations to injure the
public it offends against the law of it's
creation and "forfeits it's right fran
chises." The case is remanded back to
trial with instructions that the complaint
be held good.

Cheap cream of tartar has been
proved to be composed largely Of tar

alba, or white earth, imported from the
shores of the Mediterranean, has been
used as a food adulterant to fearful
degree 1t is, when pulverized, white
and almost impalpable powder, taste
less and looking like fine starch. Its
presence is frequently detected in pow
dered sugar, which may account for
the fact that housekeepers do not find
powdered sugar altogether Satisfactory
for cooking purposes. Pure cream of
tartar will dissolve in hot water, but
terra alba will not; therefore to test it
put teaspoonful into tumbler OF hot
water. allow it to stand for few mo-
ments. and then see whether there is
any sediment If the sediment is large,
terra alba is probably present. Ii 1t
