FROM DOWN
The STATE
telegraph News by Direct
Wire from All Over
Indiana

Indianapolis. July 24.-In a bulletin
of the state board of health which has
just been issued the board gives the
results OF the analysis Of $50 samples
Of food and drugs products. The sam
pies analysed represent food products,
drugs. etc, collected by the food and
drug inspectors throughout the state,
or sent to the laboratory by wholesal-
ers, retailers and purchasers. Many sam
pies of dairy products, milk, cream.
butter, cheese, ice cream. etc, have
been collected for the laboratory by
the sanitary ocffiers and boards Of
health of cities.
Result of the Examination.
OF the $50 samples OF food products
examined 500 were pure and of stand
ard quality and $50 adulterated, or be-
low the legal standard, a percentage
equal to 43.7 per cent. OF 10 samples
or drugs analysed As were pure and
up to pharmacopeia standard, and 20
were adulterated 1t is stated, how
ever, that in collecting samples for
analysis care is taken to purchase ar
ticles of a suspicious character, and
that therefore the extent Of adultera-
ton of all classes of food and drug
products is represented by a much
smaller percentage.
Notice to Getters of Bad Stuff.
The board says in the bulletin: I'VE
shall continue to publish names of
illegal brands and shall consider such
publication sufficient notice to the trade
that the goods must not be sold Deal
ers carrying such goods in stock must
arrange for their return to the job
bers or relabel them properly"
Canned Vegetables and Fruits.
The report shows that most of the
samples of canned vegetables were of
good quality, and the same is true of
| fruits that were canned in tin cans.
The fruits put up in glass, however,
| showed heavy adulteration, amounting
to so per cent. Preservatives and col
oring are almost universal in goods
put up in glass.

These We're Agreeable Thugs.

Muncie, Ind, July "a. - Footpads
held up O. c. Dawson, farmer, and
relieved him of $1.75, all the money he
had with him, but the hold-up men
were so agreeable that Dawson thinks
the experience was almost worth the
price. Dawson says: Il told them 1
only had Il little change, and they said
they couldn't expect to take any more
than l had. l told them that I was
mighty glad to get off easy, and they
said they liked to be easy on people"

Through meadows low and sweet.
