A jagged line of paper ran along the
inner crease of the guide book. The
map of the district had been torn away!
Mossel thrust me gently aside and,
bending over, examined the under page
thus left exposed. He took the book
from Graden's hands and, carrying it
to the lamp. continued his scrutiny.

ApuLrERATIoN OF FOODS.

What Inspection and Rigid Laws
Have Done in Massachusetts.
Food science is founded upon and
involves principally three distinct sci
ences-viz-, political economy, physiol-
ogy Especially nutrition) and the
physiological chemistry of the animal
and vegetable substances used for food,
briefly known as food chemistry, says
II. o. Brooks in the Review of Reviews.
The first named, with few references
to the others, concerns us here.
From the first laws up tc the present
time pure-food legislation has consid-
cred principally the economic and com-
mercial aspect of the, question. The
earliest laws dealt with the adultera-
ton of wines, beers, tea and coffee,
these being among the most important
commercially and frequently also from
revenue standpoint In very few cases
were the inert, worthless foreign in
gradients added, or the substitutions
made harmful from a hygienic stand
point. and this Is even more generally
true to-day. The whole subject of food
adulteration and its control is almost
entirely an economic ano. commercial
ethical question. the hygienic aspect OF
it being relatively unimportant. al
though-unsortunate for the success
of many pure-food law-the most
talked OF.
A glance at the list of adulterants so
L.,
below or In any modern food-inspection
report, reveals practically no substances
that can be considered poisonous or di-
rectly harmful to health In any sense
of the word.
The nearest approach to such q posi-
bility is In the present undesirable ten
dency toward the unrestricted use of
certain antiseptic preservatives whose
hygienic effect is still q subject OF SCI
entific debate, especially when used In
milk. The frequent reference, In the
reports of unframed, prejudiced, or cor
rupted food-inspection officials, to such
an admirable, wholesome and valuable
food product as glucose, for instance,
or the many harmless coal-tar colors as
poisonous" harmful" "deleterious."
ETC.. arouses only disgust and antag-
onism among the better informed.
Considering the alarming extent to
which the adulteration OF foodstuffs is
practiced, 1t Is indeed fortunate that
the character OF the adulteration Is gen.
orally harmless, except from the very
Important economic and moral stand
points. Were the case otherwise, the
damage done to the public would be in
calculable hygienically as well as Geo.
nomically. The magnitude and gravity,
however. OF the present annual econom-
ic loss alone, and its effect upon the
reputable manufacturers. upon the bet
tering OF the condition of the poor, and
upon the balance of available capital
should make the suoect of pure-food
legislation Of more interest to legisla-
tive and commercial interests than to
even the already interested Official
medical and general public.
