Cement suppIantIna Lumber

Two years ago there was an over
production of 100 per cent. staring ce-
ment manufacturers in the face. as
the estimated capacity of the plants
at that time was 100000 900 barrels
per year and the consumption only
60,000,000 Present conditions indi-
cate consumption of 100000 bar
rels this year This increased de-
mand, coupled with the fact that large
eastern manufacturers for two years
hive sold large quantities south and
west at improbable figures, has
caused the advance. The increase,
we believe, is largely due to the sale
of Portland cement to farmers and
other small consumers and the gem
eral prosperity Of the south and west.
Western dealers report sales of six
teen barrels of cement per 1000 feet
of lumber, against one barrel per
1000 feet five years ago.-Manufac-
turers Record.

CANNOT CONTAIN CEREALS
Meat Markets in Kenosha Will Wei
come the Fullest Investigation Into
Foods Sold in Kenosha-C Campaign to
be State Wide

All sausages sold in this city as well
as in every city in the state, will at the
beginning of the new year be dissected,
p7obed, analized and investigated to
| find what their true ingredients are
and If found to contain cereals and not
so labeled, arrests and prosecutions will
follow. A state wide campaign is to
| be made by the state dairy and food
| department. against the manufacture
and sale of sausages below standard.
An investigation may also be made Of
buckwheat being sold in the state and
thus insure those who enjoy a plate
of buckwheat cakes and pork sausages
at breakfast during the winter that
| they are having the real article and
no adulterated food
Realizing that enforcement of the
dairy and food laws is difficult as the
offender processes Ignorance of the
statutes when he is caught in violation
of them and among business men the
protest too often becomes effective,
Dairy and Food Commissioner J. @.
Emery of Madison called on his force
of inspectors and went over with them
the preliminaries of campaign for the
enforcement of certain portions of the
food laws, particularly that relating to
! the manufacture and ~ale of sausage
and that relating to the keeping of
foods offered for sale in a sanitary
condition.
Makers of sausage have practice,
it is alleged of using cereal in the
manufacture of their products, claim
ing that its service as binder to hold
the meat together make it more pre-
sentable.
But the use of cereal also permits
the use Of a liberal quantity of water,
the. inspectors assert, and water and
cereal at 10 cents pound is finan-
\ cial proposition that frequently invites
excess. And SO the legislature has pro-
vided definition of the term sausage
to the effect that sausage meat is ga
compound of meat from meat cattle or
swine, or a mixture of such meats,
! either fresh, salt, picked or smoked
with added spices and salt, etc. =
1t contains no larger amount of water
/ than the meats from which it is pre-
pared contain in their fresh condition,
etc. /" 1t is provided that the mixture
may contain per cent of cereals and
ten per cent of water, but when thus
made the meat must be sold only as
sausage cereal. With larger amount
of cereal and water the mixture is de-
clared to be an adulteration.
The law relating to the sanitary
production of food products, among
other things, that it shall be unlawful
in the process of it's manufacture for
sale, or it's preparation it is securely
protected from filth, flies, dust, con-
tamination, or other unclean, unhealth-
full, or unsanitary conditions. And it
shall be unlawful to store, or offer or
expose for sale or sell food as defined
by law, unless it is securely protected
from filth, flies, dust or other contain
nation, or other unclean, unhealthful
or unsanitary condition
