We all hear a great deal about the
polsons 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 10 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 product, OF
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,
fayoring 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 10 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

simple chemical tests, can broaden her
field Of vision and detect many i'm.
purities that are not evident TO the
senses. All Of the tests here described
may be performed with utensils found
in any well-appointed kitchen.
DETECTION OF SALICYLIC ACID.
The determination Of salicylic acid
can best be made with liquids. Solid
and semlsolid foods, such as jelly.
should be dissolved, when soluble, in
sufficient water TO make them thiny
liquid. Foods containing insoluble
matter, such as jam, marmalade and
sausage, may be macerated with wa
ter and strained through a piece OF
white cotton cloth. The maceration
may be performed by rubbing I'm a
teacup or other convenient vessel with
a heavy spoon.
Salicylic acid is used for preserving
fruit products Of all kinds, including
beverages. It is frequently sold by
drug stores as fruit acid. Preserving
powders consisting entirely OF sail
cylic acid are often carried from house
to house by agents. It may be detect
ed as follows:
Between two and three ounces OF

products, as described above, are
placed in a narrow bottle holding five

The elephant was the property OF q

dressed up with a large "G. o. p"
hammer across its back and brought
to the convention hall by a practical
Joker But this fact did not impress
itself all at once on the delegates.
Immediately there was a panic.
Men rushed madly for the windows
and leaped for their lives Several

them James Billings, a stanch Repub-

was in the rear Of the hall when the
elephant entered and was first brought
to a realization Of the monsters pres
ence by feeling the hot breath OF the
beast on the back Of his neck
Frightened half out Of his wits, he
made a mad rush for the window

About a teaspoonful Of the liquid

DETECTION OF FoRMALDEHYDE
Formaldehyde is the substance most
commonly used for preserving milk
and ls rarely, If ever, added to any
other food. It's use Is inexcusable and
especially Objectionable in milk served
to infants and invallds.
To detect formaldehyde in milk
three or four tablespoonfuls Of the
sample are placed IN a teacup with at
least an equal amount Of strong hydro
chloric acid and a piece Of ferric alum
about as large as plnhead, the
LIQUIDS being mixed by gentle rotary
motion. The cup Is then placed 10 a
vessel OF boiling water. no further

The Greeley tribune., 1906-02-22

and who has been conscientiously on
hand to assist the council all
through the vexing problem, will
personally oversee the work for the
city. so That everything about the
system will be done right and ac-
cording to contract.
The contract includes the con-
struction Of the settling basins and
filtration beds at the head of the
pipe line in the Poudre river canon
3s miles from Greeley, the pipe line
itself and the storage reservoir on
the Insinger place just southwest of
the city Of Greeley. The pipe line
will have a capacity Of 5000, 900 gal
Ions per day, or sufficient water for a
city of Is, 900 inhabitants, thus pro-
viding an ample supply for many,
many years to come. Wood pipe
will be used in the construction and
a factory .yill be put In here for con-
structing the pipe.
The right of way for the pipe line
has been secured for practically the
entire distance, and much below the
estimated cost of Mr.. Anderson.
There remains only about 3, ZOO more
feet to secure in Larimer county,
and about two miles in Weld county,
deals for. which are now under way.
A more detailed description of the
system has been given heretofore in
the report that Alderman w. c.
Wilson read before the Commercial
club some time ago. Throughout
the entire deal the councilmen have
had the encouragement and coopera-
tion of majority of the citizens of
Greeley.
The city council has put in
great many nights discussing and
working upon the plans, but most of
all the water works committee and
the finance committee have been
busy since the last election. The
first named committee is composed
of w. C. Wilson, J. b. Phillips and
C. II. Ward. The finance commit
tee is the same, except that Mr..
Phillips is chairman. Having these
two committees the same simplitied
the work somewhat, as the business
of one could always be considered in
connection with that of the other.
