FOOD ADULTERAT|ONS
Baking Powders That Contain
Ground Mineral,
Report of State Chemist B. W. KilgOre on Food
Products Contains Some Rather Start
ling fac'S.

The bulletin of the Department of Agri-
culture. which is now ready to be
sent out, contains the second report OF
the results of the examination of fooc
products under the Pure Food Law. In
addition to this there are also included
the Pure Food Law, and the standards
and rules adopted by the Department OF
Agriculture regarding human and animal
foods.
In the first report of the examination
of food products, the results Of analyses
of over five hundred samples were in
cluded. and the amount of adultera-
tion was shown to be very large; sec
OF the materials examined were In some
way sophisticated.
Three hundred and eight samples Of
different kinds of foods weres collected by
an agent of the department and analysed
chemically and microscepically during
1901. OF the sos samples, no. or 37.1
per cent were found to be in some way
adulterated. The percentage of adulter-
alton in 1900 was Sc per cent of all sam
pies examined. The products Inspected
and analysed in 1900 were largely of diff
ferent kinds from those presented in the
present report. Jelly jam, fruit butter,
preserves, molasses, honey, and syrup are
the subjects of the greatest amount OF
adulteration. In fact, nearly all of these
products were either mixed with other
materials, or were wholly imitation pro-
ducts.
Three of the brands of baking pow
der analysed, namely "Possum," manu-
featured by the Savannah Soda Works,
Savannah, Ga; Hermitage" manufac-
tured by the Hermitage Baking Powder
Co., Nashville, Tenn, and the Sweet
heart" manufactured by the Southern
Soda Works. Nashville, Tenn, contains
from IS per cent to 80 per cent of finely
ground mineral (Talc and Tremilite). A
cut is given in the bulletin, showing the
sharp needle and other crystals III this
mineral, which makes the powders not
only inferior in quality, but also more or
less dangerous to persons consuming
them.
The amount of deception in the foods
sold in the State is great enough to JUS
tify an extension of this work. 1t is en-
couraging to note that some OF the man
ufacturers are seeking information as to
the food law, standards and rules, and
expressing a desire to make their pro-
ducts comply with all requirements. In
this way, and through the information
distributed in regard to brands of adul-
teratcd foods in the food reports great
deal of good has already been done in
an educational way, the very best way,
and a foundation laid, it is felt sure
for the gradual betterment of the food
products on our markets.
This bulletin should be in the hands
of and receive the careful study of every
housekeeper in the State. Ii the house
keepers would refuse to purchase brands
of food chat are adulterated, manufactur-
ers would soon give them only pure and
wholesome products.

Lambert's Point, previous to the begin
ming of the trouble, which resulted in
the victim separating from his wife.
AT 2 o'clock this afternoon, as Cahoon
was bringing his car into the station,
Tooker was standing on the depot plat
form.
There is the man that ruined my
home,' he cried out to Constable Fergu-
son, of Princess Anne county. who was
with him, and at the same time he drew
a pistol and started toward the car.
Cahoon was too quick for him, how
ever, and before Captain Tooker had
gotten his weapon from his pocket, the
motorman bad fired the first bullet into
his adversary's throat. Two others en-
tered lockers stomach and arm. Ca
boon was arrested and Tooker was car
ried to ST. Vincent's hospital with Dr.
James G. Riddick, mayor of Norfolk, at
tending him en- route. He cannot live.
