Average PER cent Illegal. 25
Frauds, But Not Harmful.

The department has only begun the
investigation of fiavoring extracts. So
far it has only marked as "illegal'
samples containing wood alcohol,
health. The percentage Of impure ar
tfcles is higher than the table shows.
A large share of the lemon extracts
contain no lemon oil at all. but the
flavor is given by artificial substitutes.
The same thing is true of vanilla. AL
cohol is not commonly used at all in
vanilla extracts, but cheap substitutes
for the vanilla bean are commoner
than the genuine article. e.
Baking powder gives considerable
trouble. The rules require that all
cans must show the name Of the man
ufacturer. Often a well-known manu-
facturer will put up a cheap substi-
tute under the name of a jobber, and
it is hard to trace the responsibility.
Some of the so-called phosphate"
baking powders contain so little phos-
phate as to be of no value from that
ingredient.
The department has decided that
cream of tartar adulterated with phOs-
pilates must be classed as illegal, and
one-third of the samples tested have
been condemned. Even cream of tar
tar sold in drug stores, and supposed
to be chemically pure, has been found
to contain phosphates.
Work has been extended to include
olive oil, and it Is found to contain
| cottonseed oil as an adulterant in
nearly every case.
Less Imitation Butter.
The large percentage of illegal but
ter and milk is due TO- the fact that
all the samples submitted to the
chemist are already under suspicion.
| The great Improvement in butter
shows the efficient working of the
| laws against cleo, and the lard sam
| pies show a similar turn for the bet
ter. Vinegars also show a marked i'm
provement, due to the rigid enforce
ment Of the law against improper la
beling. There were 1855 samples la
beled cider vinegar which contained
other ingredients. The rest of the 200
samples condemned this year were
| twenty-five white wine" articles,
eight malt vinegars, and two plain
vinegar samples. Every sample of
malt" vinegar submitted was con-
demned.
Little work on meat has been re-
quired. The vigorous crusade against
preservatives in sausage, hamburg
steak and other meat products has
practically eliminated the evil in Min
nesota, as the returns show. ,
The department has worked extern
sively on maple sugar and syrup, and
| has 1OuIlu very l1tlle u l1e SOOQS SOLO
under those labels to be pure. They
are usually adulterated with, cane
| sugar or glucose.
The figures given in the biennial
report are mostly for other sugars and
! syrups.
A great deal Of work has been done
on spices, which are adulterated in
many ways, but a marked improve
ment is shown by the figures.
julius H. Hortvet the state chemist
and his assistant, F. w. Bedford, are
as busy men as one will find in a days
journey. Samples for testing pour in
on them faster than they can possibly
be taken care Of, and the ingenuity
of manufacturers keeps them working
out tests for new methods of adul-
teration. Their work Is recognized as
accurate, and has been the basis for
most of the prosecutions conducted
by the department.. ~ ,o*'--

EASY ENOUGH
To Shake Off Coffee and Sickness.

It is easy to shake off coffee, no
matter how bad one may crave it,
when well-made Postum Coffee is
served in its place.
II have drunk coffee for years and
always experienced trouble from it."

ing my sickness as my doctor told me
1t was, and following the doctors ad-
vice have repeatedly sworn off. But
after short time I could not stand it
any longer and would go back to cof-
fee and the old troubles Never until
tried Postum about year ago could
shut off the coffee for any length
of time.
'At that time I was suffering ter

ness, headaches and all the other ills
that go with badly upset coffee stom-

made my coffee strong enough to slim
ulate my stomach 1 could work fine
for a time, but would collapse at night
Gradually I failed to get stimulation
from the coffee and my brain seemed
actually clogged up from drinking cof-
fee and my stomach was in a Wretched
state.

vised that try Postum and then went
out and got me package, she was so
certain 1t would help me. But my
landlady did not make it right and I
that I went back to coffee. My health
finally got so bad I was on the point
of giving up school work. Then my
friend returned to see me one day and
asked about the Postum, and when she
found out what the trouble was she
made it for me according to direc-
tons, boiling it full fifteen minutes
and to my surprise I found it de-
Hcious.

trouble. I am now strong again, my
nerves are steady and normal, and
feel so fine I cannot begin to tell you
how thankful I am. = 81
II persuaded my brother, who was
an inveterate coffee drinker for years.
to give up the coffee and try Postum
and he has had such grand results
from this that he says he will never
go back to coffee. When went home
on a visit to my parents I persuaded
them to use Postum in the place Of

HOW TO SPEND $4,000

>.... Close FIdurIno,

Charities and Corrections Board Must D.
N..a... Close Figuring.
Having about $4,000 to spend next year
on new buildings, the board Of charities
and corrections Is beginning to figure on
how it can be used to the best advari-
tage. The city hospital wants about $780,
COO, the workhouse wants about Sc, 900 for
a female ward, and the need Of an emer-
gency or detention station Is imperative.
The board is anxious to begin the erec-
ton of one or more cottages for the care
of such cases as do not directly belong
to the city hospital, the county poor farm
OF the state insane asylums. It is also
necessary to have a place for the deten-
ton of helpless people while the au-
thorities are deciding which department
is to be charged with their care
It is probable that small cottage will
be erected on the workhouse grounds next
year for the care Of paupers afflicted with
tuberculosis.
