Tests That Will Determine the Quality

luton of caustic potash and in this
boil your sample of silk or wool. If
the entire sample is consumed in the
boiling your material is what it pre-
tends to be: if there is residue that
residue is cotton. The caustic solution
consumes the animal fibers.
If you wish to find out whether the
silk that seems to be heavy silk is
weighted with mineral burn the sam
pie and the ash will show you how
much mineral weighing there is. The
pure silk will be wholly consumed.
In buying supposed linen goods Of

into concentrated sulphuric acid for
two minutes and wash it out carefully.
The cotton will have been consumed,
the linen will have resisted the action
of the acid. This test is one that

PURE FOOD LABELS.
they Were Used In Palestine as Early
as the Year $50 3. C.

dS the Y ear oSO .. -.
Professor George A Reisner of Ear
ward university discovered among
some specimens of earliest Hebrew
writing in the excavations of the city
of Samaria, in Palestine, a most inter-
esting record of the first pure food
laws in history. He also found an
cient writings dealing with the first
instance on record of the keeping of
wines in government warehouse un-
der bond.
Dating back to the period of King
Ahab, $50 B. c., these inscriptions are
considered to be one of the greatest
finds of the Harvard Palestinian ex-
petitions which delved into the city of
Ahab and Omrt for three years. They
found labels on wine and oil jars
These mention the year in which the
wine was laid down in the cellars of
the palace storehouse, and they state
the vineyard from which the wine
came, important facts that are recog-
nized equally well by winners today.
On the oil jars the label runs. "A jar
of pure OIL with the mention of the
district from which the oil came. The
bits of pottery on which the descrip-
tons were written were not parts of
the jars, but were evidently intended
to be attached to the neckS of the re-
ceptacles, just as are labels or seals

objects when found must never be
taken away; they must be left where
they were dropped or placed in a con-

owner can find his property more east

woman tourist who lost her purse on
an excursion in the Val Capriasca.
The purse contained gold coin and a
jeweled watch. Upon returning from
her trip she found the purse with it's
contents intact on little heap of
