BOGUS FOOD IN GERMANY.
Consul General Guenther Tells Of
Some Authorizations.

Richard Guenther, United States con-
sui general at Frankfort, under date of
July Z, sends the following report on
food adulteration in Europe TO the de-
partmeut Of state, says the New YORK
Times:
An article on the adulteration of food
products Is going the rounds OF the
German press. 1t is stated, for in
stance, that an ordinary liver patty Is
made into fine "Strassburger' pate de
foie gras by means of borax or salfcylic
acid and OF finely chopped and cleveriy
distributed pieces of black silk, repre-
senting trutfies.
Cosmos, a German paper, guarantees
the fact that under the label of canned
Holsters the soft parts Of the cuttlet1sh
and crabs are sold.
In Paris snails are of late very popu-
lar, and the adulterators mix them
with lungs Of cattle and horses. Even
entirely artificial snails are manufac-
tured The shells, recoated with fat
and slime are filled with lung and then
sold as Burgundy" snails.
Lovers of fresh rooster combs are
imposed upon by a substitute cut out
OF hogs intestines. Chopped artificial
truffies are made of black rubber, silk
or softened leather, and even whole
trufies are made out Of roasted pota'
toes, which are given a peculiar flavor
by adding ether. They are said to sell
we'll.
Fish spoiled in spite of ice and borax
is treated with salts Of zinc. aluminium
and other metals. Rubbing the fish
with vaseline to give it fresh look
and covering the giIls with fresh blood
or resin-a coal tar color-is resorted to
The latter is also used TO intensity the
red color of inferior crabs. Imparting
q greenish color to oysters is another
adulteration. An oyster requires about
one month In the beds to acquire the
greenish color AS this is too long q
time, the dealers help them along with
an artificial color.
The chemists in the Paris municipal
laboratories have shown that tomato
jelly is adulterated with turnips, and
powdered pepper contains large mix
ture OF powdered hard tack.

NEW RATION FOR SOLDIERS.
Ready Cooked "Roast Beef Hash"
For Use In the Philippines.

For Use In the Philippines.
The war department has undertaken
a new venture in the matter OF field
ration. writes the Philadelphia Ledg-
ers Washington correspondent.
The trial Of a new ration called roast
beef hash seems now likely to solve
some of the problems of subsistence
for men in the field. This is canned
beef that has been thoroughly cooked
and mixed with chopped potatoes and
onions. 1t Will keep indefinitely and is
said to be most appetizing. The men
like it, and the first trial has proved so
successful that a larger amount will
be shipped.
1t is packed in boxes and can be
transported readily and served out to
each mess quickly, supplying on occa-
sion a complete meal ready cooked. On
forced marches or in a country where
fire is not desirable 1T is a very conven-
lent food. 1t is adapted to rapid march
ing. where it is impracticable to take
along a supply train, pack animals be-
ing able to carry a considerable amount,
and in case Of necessity each man can
put a days supply in his haversack.

UNITED STATES is
DOING ALL IT CAN

Washington. Feb. 25.-As the United
States government recently has been
addressed by the other signatory pow
ers to the treaty of Pekin respecting
the exclusion of firearms from China,
1t may be stated that this government
is doing all it can to carry out the
treaty agreement on that point. It's
efforts are largely in the direction of
cooperating with China to prevent the
entry Of arms into that country, as it
cannot prevent American merchants
from exporting arms. Investigation has
satisfied the officials, however, that
there have been no really heavy i'm
portations of firearms into China.

at about $4,000 The loss on the build
ing is estimated at $4,000. with no IN
surance. The loss on the contents is
estimated at $4,000. with $500 insur-
ance.
How the Fire Started.
It was at first thought that the fire
had been started by one of the stoves
lighted by Mr.. Bell. but an examination
of them afterwards showed that it
could not have originated from this
source. It was evident that the fire had
started in the vicinity Of the closet IN
der the staircase, and the indications
were that 1t had started IN the closet.
There were several electric wires in the
matches Mr. Bell is of the opinion
that mice got into the matches and
ignited them.
The fire, it is believed, was burning
for more than an hour before it was
discovered. Mrs. McKendrick says she
was awakened by a cracking noise
about 4 o'clock, but thought it was
mice and paid no attention to ii. T.,
is thought that the fire smoldered
along in the closet and basement IN
til the front door was opened by Mr..
Bell. then the fresh dir caused it to
burst into flames.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bell and their children
are now at the home of James Cal
lacher at 661 South Fifth East street.
The former were suffering considerab bic
pain last night, but were getting along
as well as could be expected.
