THE STATE LABORATORY AND
pltRE FOOD.


II there was ever time when ques-
ton existed in relation to the advisa-
bilty of an appropriation by the State
for the maintenance of laboratory of
hygiene that time has passed. This
institution has not only come to stay. but
judging from the manner in which its
services are being demanded in new di-
rections, it has already become indis-
pensable The State board of health has
found it Invaluable in connection with
the investigation of sources of water
supply; it has performed varied and
satisfactory service in connection with
the investigation of various poisoning
cases as well as other crimes; and by
act of the Legislature the laboratory is
now investigating food products as we'll
as conducting other inquiries in behalf
lof the people.
Our news columns have already con-
tanned the report of the investigation con-
Quoted under the provisions Of the pure
and it is simply necessary to speak of
the results as whole to indicate the
value Of this service to the people. When
the laboratory finds that Of nineteen
specimens of lemon extract sixteen are
bad and three entirely spurious, it dem
onstrates to the people the extent to
which they are being defrauded in this
one direction. 1t goes further and shows
that out of sixteen specimens of baking
powder eight are absolutely unfit for use
and so with other food products. II ar

would be different from what it is at the
present time. As matter of fact, how
ever many ingredients used in adulterat-
| ing food products are poisonous, and the
only reason that more disastrous conse-
quences are not Immediately experienced
| from the use of the same is that the
quantity consumed at any one time is
not sufficient as a rule to produce death.
Harmful effects do result from the intro
duction of deadly drugs and other poison
Gus substances into the human system.
and no one can say how many diseases
are to be attributed to such influences
as the use of wood alcohol in the manu-
facture of vanilla. The list of harmful
ingredients of prepared food might be
largely extended. but We have already
spoken of a sufficient number to indicate
the need of vigorous measures to pro-
tect the public against frauds of this
character. Now that the quality OF the
goods in question has been clearly shown
by the State laboratory's investigation, it
will be an easy matter to bring the man.
