ADULTERATED FOODS.
ArsenicaI Butter. ColOrs, Highly In
furious to Health. Discovered
in Many Samples.

The breeders Gazette has BEEN COM
piling some figures from recent re-
port of the Ohio dairy and food COM
missioner and makes the following eN-
hibit:
Of the total of 1.4.1 samples of food
collected in the open market by the
Ohio dairy and food commissioner, UNI
der the new pure food law of the state,
9l9 were found to contain adulterants.
In many instances the aduterants
We're highly injurious antiseptics. and
coal tar coloring, which is very detri-
mental to digestion, was often detect
ed. Of Is samples of coffee only two
were pure. One sample contained only
seven per cent. coffee. and another
none at ali. while in no case was there
more han 60 per cent. of the real berry
present. Of IS samples Of cheese 10
were not pure. In one sample SO per
cent. of cottonseed oil and lard was
found In second 50 per cent of for
einn fat and in a third no less than 81
per cent. of mixed fats and oils We're
found. AS a rule the filled cheese con-
tanned Snly 30 per cent. OF foreign fat.
Of many samples of "pure fruit jam
every one Of them was adulterated: all
contained salicNlic acid. and all We're
artifciallv colored, Raspberry jelly
was found to |,e made of apples and
glucose. The commissioner report is
couched in sca1hing terms and ii is to
be hoped that the punishment OF the
dishonest manufacturers may be made
to fit the crime.
1t is to be noticed that the report for
the first time rehul>es the use of the
present arsenical colors found in but
ter. and justly speaks of its true char
acter. Presently we shall have more
of such reports from other states. and
then the country will soon be ripe 1c
