tirely neutraHzed- For the object which
above al others. we set before ourselves
in retaining a chemical board az our ser
vice vas in order that We might enable
the housewife to avail herself Of the pre-
ceDts Of science, with regard to the die
tary as expressed in the simplest and
most practical manner through the edi-
torial columns Of our paper. That i'm
pure and unwholesome food products are
widely prevalent in the markets Of today
IS a statement that admits of no douot;
ii is proved by the tests of the chemical
laboratory and corrooorated by the exper-
fence Of those who. lacking a discrim-
mating prudence have to their sorrow
consumed almost at random many OF the
various food products that are widely
offered for sale
In entoining our readers to discard
livery article which is not pure ana whole
some We are not so unreasonable as to
expect that every housekeeper win have
at her command either the knowledge or
the facilities necessary for passing an
authoritative Judgment on the quality OF
any food product in question. This is
function which belongs to the publca-
ton on hygiene; and it is in fulhllment
Of this office the Journal Of Health has
undertaken to examine many Of the foods
which have come before the public. In
finehing in dealing out condemnation TO
the impure and unsalubrious articles that
cross our path, we are equally frank and
unreserved in recommending to our
readers such food products as SHOW them
selves conducive TO the physical well be-
ing of those who consume them. Prom
inent among articles belonging to the lat
ter class may be mentioned the ''Imper-
iaP' Breakfast Food, offered by the I'm
boden Milling Company of Wichita Kan.
The most crucial examination failed to
discover in this q trace Of any substance
which was otherwise than salubrious.
Perfect purity and eminent degree Of
H'holesomeness-these proved to be the
two most prominent characteristics be-
longing to the article in question and
which serve to distinguish It from the
vast numbers of inferior food products
that burden our markets throughout the
land. Beside being, par excellence, a
pure article and worthy of the most IN
qualified Endorsement of the hygienist
from the standpoint Of its salutary vir-
T
characterized by q savoriness which
would appeal, irresistible. to the incest
epicure. Considering the percentage Of
nutriment afforded 10y a given amount Of
the article under discussion. it could also
claim the housekeeper's attention on the
score Of economy.
1T should be noted that the judgment
we have here passed upon the food-pro-
duct in question is the decision of an
authority on matters Of hygiene which is
in no manner. connected with the manu-
facturers Of the above mentioned article
or interested in promoting its sale; whose
conclusions are based entirely on the IN
erring tests of the chemical laboratory;
and whose sole object in instituting the
present investigation has been an honest
regard for the physical welfare Of its
readers. When we uneQuivocally give
our heartest endorsement to the I'm
periaP' Breakfast Food it is with a full
knowledge that our suggestions win be
incorporated into a large number Of
households throughout the country
Hence we have reserved our praise until
after being confronted with irrefutab.e
evidence of absolute purity and a degree
Of saIubriousness to be met with only at
rare intervals. The housekeeper may Of
ten make a mistake in regard to the Sc
lection Of an article which is really eco
nomical. the palate Of the epicure may
he tickled with connections which prove
Injurious to health; but the tests of a
chemical laboratory afford an unfailing
method Of ascertaining the quality Of an
article, and It is only after such incou-
4 testable testimony to purity and whole
someness that we have felt justified in
+ recommending the Imperial Breakfast
Food to our readers as being a food
which in addition to being economical,
palatable, an appetizing, meets the most
( exacting demands Of the hygienist on the
score Of health-virtue"
An editorial in the same issue Of this

concerns, yet under no circumstance
have they space for sale in their reading
