NO SUCH THING
AS uTHIA WATER
DR.. Wiley Says Analyses
Prove This.
SARATOGA SPRINGS WEAKER
Variation in Mineral Content Varies
From Time to
Time.
SARATOGA SPRINGS WEAKER

The Bureau of Chemistry of the Ag-
ricutural Department. in an exhaustive
report on the mineral waters of the
effect the announcement that there is
no such thing today as lithia water In
the sense that it is used by the medical
fraternity.
Under the supervision of H w Wiley
the insecticide and water laboratory
purchased two to five gallon samples of
forty five varieties of the various waters
In the original bottles. In every cose
where il was possible the advertising
matter relating to individual samples
was obtained and the analysis as given
compared with the analysis as obtained
at the laboratory. Where advertised
analyses could not be found the results
were compared with those given in
Crooks Mineral Waters of the United
States, 1t being explained that most OF
the analyses in that volume are the
same as those advertised by spring own
ers.
Meresr Trace OF Lithia.
In many of the waters II is stated
that only an unweighable spectroscopic
"
popular brand it is reported, that it
10 give one full medicinal dose of
lithium OF another the analysis OF the
bureau was so different from that given
by the company, that the report says
this may have been a ficticious sample
of the water Two facts stand out be-
yond a doubt: Consumers are paying
for water that Is not true to label and
IL is a rnisnomer to term such a water a
lithia water"
OF a water for which it was claimed
much hypophosphorous acid, the report
says I'VE were not able to find, and. in
fact. hardly expected to find, any of this
acid" OF another brand found at nearly
every soda fountain Prof Wiley declares
that the difference between the analyses
is remarkable" The term 'misnomer'
is also applied to this as lithia water.
Saratoga Waters Change.
Prof. Wiley reports that waters from
Saratoga Springs, obtained both at the
springs and on the open market. are in
nearly all cases markedly weaker in
mineral content than they were thirty
FIVE years ago. and that there is a great
er variation in the total mineral content
| ci uO4NiuUdl Springs 1IOul liItle 10 lliflc
and that 1.-The rare elements. such as
lithium and broInin. seem to vary to a
greater extent than the other elements
present"
In summing up the final work of the
bureau Prof. Wiley declares that these
remarkable variations do not necessarily
mean that there has been any attempt
of fraud on the part OF the owner OF the
spring, hut at some times the difference
may be due % the fact that the adver-
tised analysis was made years ago be-
fore the composition of the water had
changed Poor analytical work on the
part of the commercial chemist, fraud
| on the part OF the retail dealer. and
sometimes even fraud on the part of the
spring owners, are other causes respon-
sible for this condition of affairs. he
says.

Dispute Over Brazil.

1t has been thought in some quarters
that Judge Penfeld's retirement was
due to the failure OF the State Depart
ment and the President TO uphold his
findings in the case of Ambassador
Thompson at Brazil Judge Penfield
went TO Rio de Janeiro TO Investigate
the serious differences that had broken
out between Thompson. a Nebrasi
man, and Consul General Seeger. 1t is
the understanding that his report cor
roborated the charges made by the
consul general
Shortly before the adjournment of
Congress, Thompson's name was sent
to the Senate as ambassador to Mexi-
co. which was a promotion. The ap-
pointment, however, has not as yet
been confirmed.
The only public reason that Judge
Penfeld has assigned for his unexpected
retirement is that he desires TO resume
the practice of law in hts native State.

Judge William l.. Penfeld formally

SO far as can be ascertaned there

1t has been said that man who can
fill the position with satisfaction can
command fully $4,000 as a corporation
