NEAT INSPECTION CONTINUES
Twenty Kinds of Canned Products Re-
ceived mt state Laboratory yestcr-
dny--Re sult Of Examinations
Not Yet known.

Canned meats of every variety we're
received yesterday at the state laboratory
of hygiene and they will all he thorough
ly inspected to determine whether they
comply with the pure food Jaw. Prof.
white visited various stores in the city
yesterday and when he had completed
his purchases and they had arrived at
the laboratory a small sized meat store
might have been established there.
Prof. White began at once to label the
various brands and the inspection will
he begun soon. A number of foods have
already been examined but the results
Will not be announced yet. II under
stood, however. that thus far the
examinations have not disclosed much
that would render the foods Unfit for
use. 1t is said that the worst thing dis
covered is the ~preservative used.
Director Stone had a can of corned beef
on which he was working yesterday. The
meat appeared to he in good condition
hut Of course the analysis was not COM
plete. While at work on the meat DR..
Stone vt off a large slice and put it
in his mouth saying:
1T does not need a microscope TO deter
mine that the meat in this can is beef"
However, he had his class in hand and
continued T. examination rigidly.
On Prof. Whites table We're about %
samples of meat and jelly and every one
of them will be examined thoroughly.
Veal loaf. mutton. and all sorts Of cam
ned products were included. The results
of the examinations of these branCs of
meat and canned goods in other States
are in the hands of the officials at the
laboratory ard the results Of the examina-
tons to he made here will he compared
with those made in other places. a
peculiar circumstance is that the came
brands show widely different analyses II
different localities. It is difficult for the
chemists and baCterioloGists to tell why
these different conditions should exist
in the same brand of goods but exist
they do.
AS soon as the examinations at the
state laboratory are completed the re
suits Will be officially published so that
the people of the State can tell what
Kind o. canned foods are fit for them to
eat.
