they were mistaken, however, as
the government pure food depart

must contain o5 per cent. meat.
The kind of meat is not specified !:
but as sausage have been eaten
tight along without it being dis
covered that the stuff isn't made
out of meat at all-or with merely
a "trace"-it is not likely that we
will be able to detect the variety
Of meat. now that meat is to he

granted, nowadays, and it is well
for orr peace of mind and the
quietude of our stomachs that
there are lots OF things we don't
know about the alleged food we
use. The pure food service,
national and State, is, however,
doing great work for the people
in protecting them from much

poison but which rnasqrerades as
