SCHEMES TO SWINDLE PUBLIC
ADULTERATION OF FOOD PROD
UCTS MORE NUMEROUS.

Apple Vinegar" Spice Made of
IT.

One Apple Makes a Gallon of "Pure
Apple Vinegar" Spice Made of
Sawdust and Honey of Syrup.
Schemes for the adulteration of
food products are more numerous
today than ever before.
Probably the worst adulteration
yet found is a butter emulsion that
will cause the butter to absorb it's
exact weight in water and still pre-
vent the butter eaters knowing it.
Take pound of butter and pound
of water and spoonful of this emul-
sion, work the three together for
about 10 minutes and there are two
pounds of butter and no water. The
average housewife could not tell the
difference between this watered but
ter and the real article.
A man in Tennessee has developed
a scheme by which he can make a
pure apple-cider vinegar at an actual
cost of cents a gallon, and using
one apple to each gallon. The fraud
could not be detected except by an
actual chemical test. The same chap
also has scheme for making apple
butter with one apple to the gallon
of butter, and at a cost of one-fourth
the real article.
A man in Rochester, N. Y, devel-
Oped plan of treating sawdust with
molasses to use in adulterating his
spices. One part of the real spice
md three parts of sawdust made the
product which could not be detected
by the eye or tongue.
Frauds in flavoring extracts and
maple syrup have been common. Few
of these had any of the essential oils
at all. A Vermont man has offered
! a recipe to grocers so that they can
make the maple syrup they purchase
into an adulterated product, three
| gallons of fraudulent syrup to one
half gallon of real syrup.
An Indiana man has done a big
business this summer showing ped
dlers how to make artificial honey
from ordinary cane syrup that only
experts could detect.
There are numerous other schemes
for increasing the weight of parched
coffee, preserving eggs, useless bak-
| ing powders, making mincemeat and
| tomato catsup at reduced cost by
using little meat or tomatoes. The
recipes usually sell for $40 and a
pledge of secrecy.
A good many of the schemes are
tried

notwithstanding to present
indications the state of Georgia may
have to get along until December
with only one representative in the
United States senate.
Governor Smith, following his cleo
ton Wednesday, declared his inten-
ton of remaining in the office of
governor until December. He stated
that after investigation OF the law
he had found that Senator Terrell
can continue to hold the Office until
the governor resigns and qualities as

Senator Terrell holds conflicting
opinion. In his opinion his seat in
the senate was vacated when Gov
ernor Smith was elected as his sue
cessor.
No Office to Resign.
1t was reported that Senator Ter
reII would Immediately resign and
would not return to Washington for
the balance of the extra session, but,
according to Senator Terrell, he has
no office to resign. He holds to the
opinion that he is no longer a men,
Der OF the United States senate from
Georgia, and that the job is now up
to Governor Smith.
Senator Terrell is making inyesti-
cation as to the proper course of
procedure under the circumstances
and it is probable that he will have
definite announcement to make with
in a day or two.
1t is stated that Governor Smith
is fixed in his determination not to
relinquish the governorship at this
time.
Therefore, if it should develop that
Senator Terrell is rendered ineligi-
BILE as a senator by reason of Gov
ernor Smiths election it appears
very probable that Senator Bacon
will be Georgias only representa-
tive in the senate for a period of
nearly five months.
This brings complicated situa-
ton and means that Georgia will
have but one senator at the national
capital while the reciprocity, direct
vote for senators, wool and farmers
free list bills are being voted upon.

Within the next few months
there will be opened for settlement
approximately $4,000 acres of
lands south of Musselshell and
Melstone in the Billings land office
district. The opening embraces
fourteen townships, nine of which
are located between the Yellow
stone and Musselshell rivers. All
of these townships have been on
the map heretofore as unsurveyed
land, the surveying having been
done only recently, long delays
having been caused by the fact
that much of this is coal land and
had to be classified as such by the
geological department. The plats
of the survey of these townships
were received at the Billings land
office last week, but the date for

The lands are for greater part
grazing lands, with splendid area
adapted to dry farming. Good
water is to be found in all of the
many little valleys. There is
much valuable coal in the territory
embraced in the opening. Not the
least important matter in connec-
tion with the opening is the fact
that some of the lands may be filed
under the enlarged homestead act
in 32O-acre tracts, Being within
the original land grant of the
Northern Pacific railroad, the
company has it's right to select
about. one-half of the lands taking
every odd numbered section.

that this land was not surveyed
and opened for settlement, and the
news Of the opening will be- good
news-for that section. No doubt
many homestead entries will be
made as soon as the opening takes
place, and it is believed that very
iittloaof the agricultural lands. in

occupied for any length Of time
The 32o-acre homesteads will offel
a very attractive proposition.

Crime, Criminals And Reform

THE ENTERPRISE is in receipt of a
booklet entitled "Crime, Criminals,
and Reform" bv AL. e.. Ray, Chief
Special Agent of the Great Northern
Railway. The work is most inter
esting, shattering many of the pre-
vailing notions regarding criminals
and their operations and also points
the way to reform which Will tend to
reduce crime III many of it's various
forms.
The work represents the thoughts
gained from al experience of many
years of hard work in dealing with a
class ofNit-zens about which zoo lit
tie is known. Mr.. Ray speaks with
authority of one who knows and ham
dies his subject in an interesting
way both from sociological and hu-
man interest standpoint.
He states that the reasons for the
preyalency of crime /, chiefly due to
ignorance and the failure of parents
or guardians to direct the child's en-
ergies in the right direction at 1t
time when the child is most suscep-
tible to restraining influences.
The work is OF particular interest
to lawyers, officers of the law, men-
bers of the bench, students of soci-
ology, ETC., and has been distributed
with compliments of the Great Nor
thern Railway. Anyone desiring a
copy can secure it by addressing Al
