Far From Being Desirable - Steps
Taken Toward Passage of Pure Food
Laws in Iowa-cornmittee Appointed.
Special to Times-Republican.

/
Anles. Sept. 2.-Recently steps have
/ been taken toward the suppression of
food adulteration and the passage of
pure food laws in the state of Iowa
made some time ago by the state de-
partment of agriculture. A committee
was appointed for the purpose of MAX
| ing tests of various articles of food
which are sold on the market to deter
: mine their purity. This committee in
cluded the Hon. S. B. Packard, DR.. J. s.
Weems and w. j. Wragg.
Professor Weems. the station chem
| ist at Anes, has been making tests
on vinegar baking powder, jeliies
ketchups, mustards, preserves, soups.
breakfast foods and similar articles.
which are sold to every housewife.
Since the passage of the pure food law
| it is necessary that injurious adulter-
ations should be shown up. 1t IS not
always the consumer alone that suffers
from these impure foods, but the gro
Gerry man as we'll.
Here are some tests that have been
made by Professor Weems
There are three chief kinds of baking
powders OF these all contain soda and
filler the latter being composed OF
starch and flour. The distinctive char
acteristics of the three kinds are that
cream of tartar powder contains cream
of tartar, alum powder contains alum
and phosphate powder contains phos-
phate The authorizations usually con-
sist in substituting alum or phosphate
for the more expensive cream of tartar
and selling all as cream of tartar bak-
ing powder.
Gypsum or starch is also used as the
adulterant forming more Injurious
food.
Jelies were another food tested Most
articles of commerce of this nature
We're found to consist of some cheap,
poor quality of fruit to which was add
ed corn syrup, or glucose fiavoring and
coloring matter. Often even the flaw
oring and coloring Is neglected. half
dozen glasses of the same brand labeled
as different jellies could have been TAX
en- from the same bucket, so exact were
they in color and taste. The better
iellies are highly favored and colored
initiate the real article. In fact both
JelileS ana KetchupS are oIteH coioleu III
excess of the matured product. They
have a very pleasing color that the
home product does not have. In cook
ing, the color to some, extent disap-
pears, and accordingly the housewife
cannot give to her home made product
OF the pure unadulterated fruit the
highly pleasing color of the commercial
article.
DR.. weems next experiments will be
the testing of breakfast foods.
