against the department.
Bad Beer Immune From Attack.
Beer was found to contain rice and
corn and salicylic acid, but the depart

sellers, as the supreme court decision
prevents action.
Sausage was found to contain meat
scraps filled with flour and coated
with parafine and red pepper, and pre-
served in boraX. Formaldehyde, coal
tar dyes, etc, were also found in sau-
sage, and one Chicago firm paid over
$4,000 fines for selling in Philadelphia

sulphite preservative was used which
changed to sulphuric acid in the stom-

Lard Three-fourths False.
! Lard was found to contain rs per
cent. of cottonseed oil and tallow and
was often stearin, bleached with chem
icals. Honey was found to be so per
cent. glucose and the only thing re-
sembling the pure stuff was a small
piece of artificial honey comb. Maple
syrup consisted of glucose and cane
syrup, with sulphites and salicylic
acid, and occasionally brown sugar.
Cherries were made of gelatine and
formalin and favored with oil of bitter
almonds, preserved in glucose and
salicyclic acid, with sulphites. Vine
gar was any old thing-muriatic acid,
tauric acid, burned sugar, coal tar dye
and all sorts of vegetable junk.

manufacturers. 1t requires constant
watchfulness to catch these men, but
we propose to drive them out of bust
ness in this state. One of my reasons
for sending an agent to the meeting of

the names of the dealers who make

foods. These dealers are responsible
for many deaths, and the raid on them

lDULTERATION OF FOODS
YEARLY EVERYTHING WE EAT
Or DRINK is ADULTERATED.
Some Interesting Discoveries Made by
the State Dairy and Food Conn
missioner of Pennsylvania.

PENNSYLVANIA recently adopted a
ure food law, and the chief official
whose business it is to examine and
eypose adulterated and impure food
smfs is known as the State Dairy
and Food Commissioner. We have
been reading of this officials work,
and have been surprised, as no doubt
most of our readers will be, to learn
that nearly every manufactured or
manipulated food commodity, includ-
ing the liquids, is more or less adul-
terated, some of them being poison
Gus.
The following in the Philadelphia
Record from Harrisburg, Pa, gives
an idea of how the people of this
country are being humbugged and
made a nation of dyspeptics by adul-
terated foods:
Dr. B. H. Warren, state dairy and
food commissioner, this morning sent
a special agent of the department to
Niagara Falls to attend the meeting
Of the International Association Of
Hotel and Club Stewards, which is
now in session in that city. With the
agent DR.. Warren also sent collec-
ton of seventy-five samples of adul-

rERRoRs OF DEATH VALLEY.
A Vast Treasure Box to Which Death
Holds the Key.

Vast Treasure BOX 10 w nlcn DehOh
Holds the Key.
The two young prospectOrs who lost
their lives a couple of weeks ago in
the famous Death Valley of Southern
California were both we'll known in
Washington and one of them was the
nephew of a Connecticut congress
man. Lost in the hottest and dryest
area known, they persisted of thirst
as thousands have done before them.
In the old gold-seeking days the val
lev claimed unnumbered victims from
the fortune hunters who crossed the
country.
Death Valley covers a space of
about 500 square miles. 1t is deep
cut in the plain and at the bottom OF
it is a salt fiat, strong in salt and al
kaline compound. About the first
heard of the murderous region was in
1S49, when sixty-eight cut of seventy
Mormon emigrants, who wandered in
to the trap, gave up their lives after
horrible suffering.
The valley is said to be an amazing
storehouse of wealth, teeming with
gold and other valuable metals and
minerals. There are beds of borax
inter, soda and salt. 1t is treasure
box. to which Death holds the key.
Do YOU remember of reading, a few
hears ago. about a husband and wife
both threatened with consumption,
who came into this place of death IN
search of life? 1t was their only
chance, so physicians said. They
found a spring in a little canon, not
many miles from civilization, and
there they built cabin and lived for
seven years-with only Gilamonsters'
rattlesnakes, huge tarantulas and 9th,
or denizens of the desert for neigh
bors. Then the wife died, and the
husband went mad of grief and lone
liness,

A FREK LAWSUIT.
Woman Is Sued for Not Paying a

An odd suit was tried in the court
at Stroudsburt, Pa, the other day.
Mrs. Gedrich promised Mrs. Green to

keen the appointment, whereupon Mrs.

have all been prosecuted. The object
is to put the stewards, who are pur-

on their guard against adulterated
