definitely upon the purity OF any food product that

The passing Of the pure food and drug has slim
uated the study Of the chemistry OF what Americans
and drink such extent that within few
months there has sprung up band of practitioners
who have made the kitchen sink laboratory and the
pantry college of research
One Of the features of the eure food exposition
recently held in Madison Square garden, New York,
fully equipped food laboratory conducted by the
Massachusetts state normal school of Westield, in
which girl student chemists under the supervision of
their instructor Prof Lewis B. Allyn, made analyses
of groceries They were able before the eyes of
thousands of visitors to determine whether there was
starch in the sausage chicory in the coffee alum in
the baking powder or benzoate of soda and anilne in
the tomato catsup.
To the uninitiated they seemed to accomplish
ders yet what they did than any other
intelligent young woman might have been able to ac-
complish, and that with much less knowledge of
chemistry than that which was possessed by the fair
demonstrators In fact, the institution under the

and as they perceive how readily of the

lhe handbook of the Massachusetts state normal
school recommends that quarter of spoonful Of
the sample under investigation be placed in test
tube and that an inch or SO of potassium hydrooxide
be added and the contests gently warmed. If there
remains an undissolved residue it is earthly matter
probably terra alba, gypsum or tale.
To determine if ammonia be present shake up a
teaspoonful OF baking powder with two ounces Of
cold water and filter Then boil the htrate ip small

There is nothing mysterious about chemistry and,
contrary to the common belief chemical glassware is
quite cheap. The reagents which are employed may
be obtained from any druggist at trifing cost In
fact the entire expenditure for the material required
in this domestic laboratory need be more than
four or five dollars. Many of the experiments may
be conducted with the ordinary vessels which are al
ways at hand"

1t is recommended that the chemicals and solutions
of various kinds be kept in cabinet which may be
locked when the apparatus is use, that there
may be injury to the younger and nquisitive mem
bers of the household Before proceeding with any of
the tests Professor Allyn gives few simple general
instructions.
Acids should be kept from the hand, face clothing
and metals If any spilled they should be rinsed
off with water and then with little dilute liquid
ammonia or strong solution of baking powder. If
any of the causc reagents accidentally find their way
hands or clothing applications of vinegar
commended.
Occasionally in the benzoate of soda test, it is
necessary to employ chloroform ether, and when
either used it should be evaporaed in the open air
1t is of the rules of all laboratories, and inn
porant the advice concerning pointing loaded
gun at anybody, that is to look into a
test tube when its contents undergoing chemical

note the increasing interest which is

in the good roads movement. This
movement has now become general
people are fast beginning to rea-
lie that without good roads the
progress Of a country is retarded.
As an instance of the growing popu-

mentioned that not less than 5000
delegates from all over the United
States will be present at the good
roads convention in ST. Louis on
October 18th, 9th and 7th. The
organizations which are directly in

the National Good Roads associa-
ton, the American Automobile asso-
citation, the Roadmakers association,
the National Grange and the Ma

association, and among the most i'm
portant features of the convention
will be the physical demonstration
of good road and street making.
There will be no admixture of con-

the subject of good roads only
will be handled.

ST. Peter Herald: Rumors that
reach us from Mankato would indi-
cate that the newly adopted commits
sion form of government is proving
anything but popular with certain
wealthy citizens. f would seem
that, under the old ward system,
these persons were treated with
consideration. not to say compassion,
by the assessors; but the commits
sioners have shown a strange disre-
gard for their feelings. No sooner
were the commissioners in office
than they began instituting practical
reforms. Useless officials were lop-
ped off here and there, and then,
ignoring custom and precedent, the
commissioners began prying into the
tax rolls. They found lot of prop
erty that was undervalued, and at
once proceeded to do their plain
duty. A total Of $4,000 was added
to the assessed valuation of one con-
Germ. and other increases that were
made put the dodgers on a plane
where they should have been years
ago where they are paying nearer
to their just proportion of taxes
than at any time in .Mankato's his
tory. In consequence loud walls are
being emitted by the wealthy citi-
zens, but the proletariat-the folks
who have no property to conceal and
who have been paying good rate
on everything visible are making
but mild efforts to restrain their
joy, and are showing no signs of g
lack Of confidence in the commission
system.
