collected about four hundred samples
of different commodities and had each
analysed.
The sixty-nine brands of catsup ana
lyzed, with a few exceptions, contained
preservatives and coloring matter.
Out of seventeen samples of cream of
tartar eight were found to be substi
tutes and not cream of tartar. OF
ninety-nine brands of molasses and
syrups 1t was found that many were
composed of sucrose mixed with glu-
cOSo.

500 CASES OF TYPHOID
Leadville Is Up Against Sc
ri0us Situation.

Leadville, Col, Jan. 21-Claude E.
Cooper, secretary of the state board of
health, has returned from Leadville
where he has been investigating the
typhoid situation there. He said there
was no question of the diagnosis of the
epidemic and that the situation was
serious not only because OF the rapid
spread of the disease in Leadville, but
from the fact that there is danger of
the waters of the Arkansas river be-
coming contaminated which would je-
opardize the health of the thousands
living along its border. Secretary Coo
per said there We're 500 cases of typhoid
in Leadville now and expressed the be-
lief that within the next week or two
the number would be greatly increased.
While the cause of the epidemic has
not been determined, Secretary Cooper
inclines to the opinion that the water
supply of LeadvilIe has become impure.
