A MENACE TO HEALTH.
PROF L. B. ALLYN IN GOOD HOUSE.
 KEEPING.

Jtis urged by many dispensers of summer drinks that while the art1f- cial or synthetic flavors are not whole some and are even injurious, yet the small amount in glass of soda can produce no ill effect. The maxim of many a dealer is "never to use a dele teriOus or unwhOleSOme article in the composition of products to an extent that will endanger health." The weakness of the argument is apparent, since in the case of nearly every drug it is the oft-repeated small dose that works havoc in the human system.
 It will be of interest to examine some of the fiavoring compounds used freely in the cheaper grades of the summer beverages. Banana flavor consists of butyrate of amyl, butyric ether, glycerine, chlorOfOrm, acetic al- dehyde and deodorized alcohol. Pine apple consists of all the above in diff ferent proportions, and in addition, oil of lemon andOcitric acid. Straw berry extract is prepared from a com bination of nitrous, acetic, formic and butyric etherS, butyrate of amyl, oils of orris, bergamOt and orange, with ground rhatany. This list might be extended indefinitely, but the exam pleS cited will show that none of the genuine fruit enters into the compost tion of these flavors. The combina- tion of ethers and corrosive acids em. ployed make cheap soda not only dis pleasing to refined palate, but di- rect menace to health.

the lower Klamath prioect before snow

Practically all Of the larger land
owners In this project have signed up
with the Water Users association, and
many OF those not already signed have
promised 10 do 30 at once.
Secretary Elmer |. Applegate, OF the
association, states that not one OF the
large holders who have been approach.
cd have refused 10 sign the trust deed
no far. He stated further that go per
cent had signed and promised TO do 30,
and he expected by September to
have the required 70 per cent which
the government asks before actual ditch
digging IL 10 commence.
II IL also promised by the govern
ment officials that just ~ soon as 10
per cent OF the holdings under the pro-
ject are signed, bids for contract work
will be advertised for, and as soon az
these are accepted work will begin.
However, II is not expected that q
great deal will be- accomplished this
winter, owing 10 the lateness Of the
season and difficulty in getting heavy
machinery in here during the fail and
