WARMING
Sent Out Regarding AduItefa'
tiOn OF Foods

Dairy and Food Commissioner 8. E.
Strode has sent warning to man
ufacturers, butchers and meat deal
ers and dealers in lard, butter and
oleomargarine advising them against
any adulteration or Misrepresentation
of their product, and asking their aid
in making Ohio one of the most whole
some states in the union in food sup
ply The commissioner lays particular
stress on the adulteration of butter
and lard and in the fixing up of sau-
sages md hamburger steaks. He
shows that one of the common adul-
terants added to sausages and pre-
pared meats Is starch, the object being
to increase the weight of the product
and thus deceive the buyer. The starch
increases the weight through its ten
dency to absorb water The warning
also is directed against the use of
coloring or preserving the meats. Mr..
STROBE points out that lard is often
adulterated through the addition of
beef fat and cottonseed oil and adds
that while these may be harmless
from hygienic standpoint, they tend
to lower the quality of the lard and
thus deceive the consumer.

board of accounting. According to
section 1SS4-A of Ohio statutes, the
salaries of the judges is $4,000 a year,

The first clause of the statute sec.
tion states that the S1o per year is to
be paid for every 1000 people in the
county in which the judge resides
when he is named for the position.
The statement is qualifleu by the ad-

is more than one county in the dis
trict then the judge shall receive the
$16 for each 1000 in all of the coun-
ties in the district
BY the holding OF the board of ac-

be due. The construction put on the
statute section by the judges was
deemed o. K and they will receive
