did not remain long after he had
succeeded In learning what Mr.. Mat
lack was driving at.
Mr. Matlack spoke at length on
methods of sewage disposal used in
different European cities. In answer
TO direct questions from the COM
missioner, he stated that his plan
for Detroit was TO build an inter
cepting sewer system and to dispose
OF the sewage and refuse by chemi-
cal and electrical treatment.
II have spent several years study
ing the methods used in Paris. Lon
don, Berlin and other cities" he
said. my plan for Detroit combines
the best features of all these sys-
TENS. There will be no obnoxious
odors from my plant, and the ground
around 1t can be used for park pur-
poses"
He admitted that he had never
given his plan practical workout,
but he referred the commissioners
TO the city of Bradford. Eng. where
system similar TO the one he out
lines, Is being operated successfully
He said that under his system. the
carbon from the sewage could be
used to generate sufficient power to
run the plant and leave surplus
that could be sold for commercial
purposes.

The assurance that the dyed food
is colored with a certified dye is
vague and unsatisfactory.
The permitted dyes are less dan

dangerous product?'
Some dyes are germicides and
may have a serious influence upon

Some are decidedly poisonous.
Some contain arsenic.
