CHURCH WINE A POISON.
WOOD alcohol IN IT.
Dealers Endanger Commandments.
Says DR.. Darlington.

Health Commissioner Darlington says he has
sampled a bottle of wine such as is used for
church communion services and has found 1t to
contain wool alcohol, hard cider and aniline dyes.
It is poisonous decoction. he says. and would
prove harmful If taken IN liberal quantities.
DR.. Darlington yesterday appeared before the
Committee on Salaries and Offices of the Board
of Aldermen and obtained its consent for the
appointment OF an expert analytical chemist at
81 500 a year. He said
II Is NV intention to start a crusade against
the sale of food products in this city which the
chemists in my Office find are adulterated. The
adulteration OF foods is rapidly growing prao-
tice among INSCRIPTIONS dealers and manufact-
urers. It has got so now that scarcely food
product can be found that is selling well that Is
not counterfeited by who adulterate and
cheaper product and make it look like the real
thing, and then palm it off on the public at a
out price.
have just finished chemical analysis OF
some wine that is labelled communion wine, and
apparently is regularly used by churches in this
city for communion services. / find that 1t con-
tains wood alcohol hard cider and aniline dyes.
and practically no Juice of the grape. 1t is q
poisonous decoction. I do not know that this
sort of wine is sold to the churches. All know
is that it was labelled Communion wine" and
presume that it is being used by the churches.
The name of the maker is on the bottla, In
tend TO find out if this sample is a specimen of
the kind that is being sold to local churches. If
1t is, something will drop.
When Commissioner Darlington was asked
what he hoped to accomplish with the appoint
ment of single analytical chemist, he said:
cannot do much with one. but one will be
better than none at ali, and he will be kept on
foodstuffs all the time. I suppose that a
thorough inspection of all the food products
sold in this city would cost fully 100000 a
year. There is hardly a food the market
that Is not aduterated. L imagine that It will
be even harder TO punish the guilty parties
than to detect the adulterated goods.
DR.. Darlington said that he had already estab-
lished a chemical laboratory on the East Side
near 23d-st and the river. He told the com
mittee that later he would ask for three addi-
tional chemists, who would be needed to carry
out the work
The Commissioner said he was gathering the
evidence to make wholesale arrests throughout
the city for food and liquid adulteration
The presence Of wood alcohol cider and aniline
dyes In wine put UP for communion service IS
rather surprising in view of the fact that native
wine can be bought for around fifty cents a
gallon Wood alcohol in small quantities IS
worth seventy-five cents a gallon. and cider
is worth from twenty to forty cents a gallon.

TO STUDY AMERICAN woMENs LOOKS.
Mrs. Pomeroy Expected to Increase Beauty
by Giving Pleasant Sensations

Although impression prevails that the pro-
posed scientific study Of natural American beauty
has been postponed, Charles Hemstreet, accom-
panied by Mrs. Hemstreet will sail this morning
the White Star liner Baltic to complete ar
rangements in Paris for the immediate coming Of
Mrs. Jeanette Pomeroy. who IS to make the study
personally. Mr.. Hemstreet issued this statement:
Primarily Mrs. Pomeroy's object is to make a
scientific study OF beauty in the women OF the
United States But when her ideas put in
force they will affect only the beauty Of wom-
en- but will have marked effect on art literature,
music architecture, decorations parks, streets and
indoor and outdoor life generally. If Mrs. Pom
eroy is right in her conclustons that tina women
Of America are growing less beautiful year by
year, she will invoke national, State and munich
pal governments to aid her IN forcing women
20 become beautiful whether they will not,
The contention of Mrs. Pomeroy is that, IL SEN
sations are ugly, then physical deformity will re-
suit; If sensations are beautiful then symmetry
uncomely environments, where their senses are
assaiIed by unpleasant things: they become I'M
mouth ugly; offensive sights. inartistio pictures,
sombre coors, objects that are uncouth. dishgure
the eyes The remedy is simply to surround wom-
en- with delectable odors, dulcet sounds, paatable
foods, beautiful sights, correct ideas.
