IMITATION VINEGAR
DAIRY COMMISSION SHUTS OUT BIG
SHIPMENTS FROM
EAST
GRocERs CANCEL ORDERS
Failure of the Apple Crop the
Cause for AduIteration-Law
Is Very Strictly En-
forced.

The state dairy and food commission,
pursuing it's uniform policy of enforcing
the state laws, has pronounced as IN
merchantable and impure large guam
tity of Eastern-nade vinegar, amounting
to over 10000 barrels of the commodity,
which was about to be put on the Min
nesota market as "Pure Cider Vinegar
The law as to cider vinegar forbids the
introduction of foreign substances, drugs
or acids. Cider vinegar in its native
state is of pale color or almost practically
colorless. 1t has become a custom of
manufacturers to give a color to their
product, usually using burnt sugar, which
is harmless, for the purpose.
Last summer agents Of Eastern vinegar
makers visited st. Paul and other Min
nesota points and solicited orders from
wholesale grocers below.-tfle price of the
home manufacturers. AS those oners
were from apples growing sections and a
guarantee Of pure Cider Vinegar was
given, a liberal booking followed
The Eastern apple crop turned out to
be a practical failure and the vinegar
companies found they could not fill their
orders with pure cider vinegar, except at
a great loss.
Vinegar. however, began to arrive and
the dairy and food department began TO
inspect, and analysis proved that the
shipments were not Pure CIDER F1ne-
gar,"1 but a substitute favored and coll
ored to represent cider vinegar. Analine
dyes were detected and acids, and as a
result thousands of barrels of the stuff
were condemned.
The wholesale grocers were notified i'm
mediately that the product shipped to
them could not be sold in this state.
At first this seemed hardship, but the
showing of the department was so clear
and it was so plainly within the law,
that it was promptly accepted and the
orders for the contraband product can
celed, though in some cases a loss CT
$1.50 a barrel to the dealers followed
This substitute vinegar that was COM
ing from the Eastern manufacturers 1T
a price less than the apples would cost
to make it was mostly of white vinegar
body and a combination of acids colored
to represent cider vinegar. The adul-
terated vinegar, it is claimed, is decided
ly injurious to health. 1t could be made,
it is said, for few cents gallon and
the firms would make big profit even at
the price they quoted.
The bogus stuff having been barred
out, the st. Paul wholesale grocers
actively sought a supply of really pure
cider vinegar, adequate to their needs,
and promptly secured it from the home
manufacturers and elsewhere. Now they
are serving their customers with I'M
colored pure cider vinegar as the Mime
sofa law requires.

of supply, the Plant Will
Run system for Sew
eraI Hours.

The st. Paul Gas Light company now
expects to have the new storage plant at
its Cedar street Transforming station
completed and in readiness for use within
the next ten days. 1t was expected that
the work would be completed before this
time, but as frequently happens in sueh
cases, there has been some delay in the
shipment of some of the material reuuir-
ed. The addition to the building which
was found necessary to accommodate
the new equipment has been finished for
some days, and all that is now necessary
is to complete the installation of the new
machinery
This equipment is a storage plant and
has been added to the station simply as a
precautionary provision to afford local
facilities for running in case of a failure
OF the main source of supply by break
down.
The storage plant is of sufficient ca
paclty to run the companys system for
number of hours during the time of or
binary load" or consumption of electric
ity and at the time of the greatest con-
sumption, or the peak of the load" as it
is called from p m. on it will carry the
system for sufficient period to permit
Of the repair of any ordinary breakage
to the main plant
A. p Lathrop, president and general
manager of the company, said yester-
s day to TIL e G o b e that he had been
informed that all of the material for the
new plant had been shipped and that
there need be no further delay in the
work. During the past two days there
have been received hundreds of carboys
containing acid for the battery tanks.
There are some sixty or more of these.
each of which will contain a half barrel
of acid.

GLASS TAKES A TUMBLE
REDUCTION In PRICE HAS BEEN
ORDERED.

The satisfaction felt by the consumer In
the reduction in the price of ice at the
opening of winter is now shared by the
man who contemplates building; but will
not start the new house until spring.
Local dealers have been notified that
there will be drop in the price of window
glass in a short time. When the trust
some time since assumed control Of near
ly the entire output of window glass the
prices were bumped up a notch all along
the line, but at a recent meeting of the
jobbers and manufacturers it was decided
to scale them down a bit
1t is learned, however, that the reduc-
ton in price is really due to the fact that
the United States has recently been food
ed with window glass from France. The
French manufacturers and workmen saw
chance to do a large business in the
United States, and it is said combina-
ton was effected through which large
quantity of the ordinary kinds of glass
was shipped to this country, where it is
sold at a lower price than American glass
of the same kind. To meet the COM
petition, it is reported, the two big asso-
Citations in this country, controlling most
of the output, called the recent Chicago
conference to make sweeping reductions.

ASKS MAYOR SMITH TO Get HIM A WIFE

That the fame of the Minnesota women
fer personal artractivcness and the house
wifely accomplishments has spread far
beyond the state boundaries, is shown by
letter recently received by Mayor Smith
from a man whose home is in Arizona
and is looking for a suitable helpmate to
share it with him.
The writer says that he has heard a
great deal of the robust. healthy beauty
of the women of Minnesota and their
proficiency in the domestic accomplish
ments, as well as their agreeable traits
of character, and he would be pleased TO
have Mayor Smith select for him from
their number one who would make him a
suitable wife. He says she need not be
very young and that he will not insist
upon great personal beauty, but he does
desire responsibility of character above
all other qualifications.
As to his own recommendations as a
matrimonial possibility, the gentleman
says he has a comfortable if not 1uxuri-
GUS income. is interested in copper mines
in Arizona, and has comfortable home
there; that he is man of good habits,

GRATIFYING REPORTS FROM SEC
RETARY MASON IN THE FIELD.

President John W. Lux of the St Paul
Retail Grocers' association, has had COM
munication with Secretary Fred Mason,
of the Retail Grocers and General Mer-
chants Association of Minnesota, who is
out in the state upon an organization trip,
that he is meeting with excellent success.
Secretary Mason had, he reported, visited
ST. Cloud, Sank Center and Sank Rapids,
and in these places he had most cor
dial reception and found the trade recep-
tive From these engagements Mason
went to Alexandria and after completing
his work at that place visited Fergus
Falls.
Mr.. Mason is admirably adapted for the
work in which he is now engaged, and
after his trip is completed a complete re-
port of results will be available. 1t seems
to be fact that the present is an auspici-
Gus time for the formation of local asso-
Citations. So much good has. been accom-
plished in the localities where such exist
that there is an eagerness to secure more
of them. Generally it only requires the
advice and assistance of an expert like
Mr.. Mason in organization work to Sc

many things in the form of church gov

He gave other reasons for being a
Presbyterian, among which were his adj

made for religious and civil liberty; for
its iberality and breadth. and for its
placing the Gospel as the only rule by
which to build character.
