Health Authorities Not Informed Of the

secretary of the State Board of Health says he
received no official notice of the death of Mr..
Benjamin F. Jordan, former County Commits
sioner from drinking some deleterious SUBJ
stance in mistake for buttermilk.
1--WE are not concerned in the matter" said
DR.. Fulton, land will not unless we are asked
by the local health officer to make an analysis
to ascertain the kind of poison. do not
know of any butter coloring in general use
which will cause death unless taken in great
Quantities, more than is usually kept on hand
by farmers. The sort of coloring matter most
used is found in nearly every drop of
milk sold in the city; it is annatto, stuff made
in Vermont, and its only effect is to give yell
low hue to the liquid:
Gas matter fact, almost every milk dealer
uses annatto, which has been found to be
harmless and to have no effect except, as /
have said, to impart the yellow without which
city people will not buy the milk offered them.
Most city people do not know what milk looks
like when it is not colored, and for that reason
insist that they get an article which has been
fixed to give it that which they like to see
The local Health Department knows that an
natto and like stuff is used, but if it were to
stop dealers from putting in thecolor thistown
would be dry for milk tomorrow morning.
''In regard to Mr.. Jordan's case I can only
say that have no information of an authori-
tative character as to the substance used and
cannot imagine how Mr.. Jordan came to drink
so much of chemical which, if of the kind
used by farmers, is generally sold
in bottle about as long as your finger and of
which only few drops are used to impart the
desired grassy look to the weekly butter
making"
"Annatto," said DR.. Fulton lis harmless in
the quantity in which it is generally sold and
used"
