Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-06-26

We all hear a great deal about the poisons with which our daily food is adulterated. Simple methods for the detection of some forms of food adul- teration are presented by two govern ment officials belonging to the bureau of chemistry, United States depart ment of agriculture: w. D. Bigelow, chief division of foods; Burton J. How ard, chief microchemical laboratory.
 Many manufacturers and dealers in foods have the ordinary senses so highly developed that by their aid alone they can form an intelligent opinion of the nature of a product, or of the character, and sometimes even of the proportion, of adulterants pres ent. This is especially true of such articles as coffee, wine, salad oils, flavoring extracts, butter and milk. The housewife, finds herself constant ly submitting her purchases to this test. Her broad experience develops her senses of taste and smell to a high degree, and her discrimination is often sharper and more accurate than she herself realizes. The manufac- turer who has developed his natural senses most highly appreciates best the assistance or collaboration of the chemist, who can often come to his relief when his own powers do not

 The trolley men of New Haven who are stirred up somewhat over the ques- tion of wages, declare that they be- lieve that they have friend in Pres ident Mellen, who will give them a square deal. It is altogether prob- able that their confidence is well placed and it is certainly better to go on that supposition in the effort for a satisfactory settlement than to strike first and thus put themselves in hostile attitude to begin with Bridgeport Standard.
 Fall River, which is dependent upon it's cotton industry, will re- ,joice over its escape from a strike. The settlement of con- flict lasting about two years be- tween the manufacturers and the op- eratives means much more than a slight increase of wages to the work CTS; it means the insurance of the entire community against grievous loss.

There is a life and death struggle going on at Washington between the forces of the pure food bill and the lobby of the adulterated food manu- lecturers. This is a pretty fight. It is interesting to watch and the wonder is that any honest vendor of food feels that he can afford to fight the measure that is being put forward. The ,t'i, does not prescribe what the r56ple shah es.s V. what. kh.- shall buy. It merely frGsis that when the finest imported olive oil'' is really cottonseed, the label should say so. Similarly it provides that when the can of vegetables you get at the cor ner grocery or at the department store weighs only two pounds and half. the label should state the weight and not let the customer be deluded into thinking he is getting three pound can for 27 cents re duced from 2S." There was a great show in the house last week when
 Representative Mann undertook to run a snail grocery store of his own and demonstrated to the house mem bers some of the impositions that were practieed on them He had bot ties of gin and whiskey.

Secretary Root is not one of the American delegates to the Rio con- ference, but he will attend the early sessions as distinguished visitor and conferee. He probably will deliver an address to the conference. All the South and Central American govern ments will be represented by dele cations and it is the purpose to dis cuss all questions of international comity and importance that may have arisen among the nations of the North and South American conti- nents. One of the most important of these subjects is the participation of the South and Central American na- tions in the peace conference to be held at The Hague next year. Here tofore, in peace conferences, these governments have not participated, but they have accepted invitations to attend The Hague conference and 1t is their purpose, at the Rio confer ence, to determine upon line of gen. eral policy to be pursued at The Hague. The determination of these plans will be highly important to the American governments, including the United States, and it is very likely that they will resolve to act practi- cally as a unit on questions affecting them that may arise at The Hague.
