POSSIBILITIES OF ICE CREAM BIZ
COME GRABBED WITH AGE.

Ice cream manufacturers are partial TO an
interesting machine, called a homogenizer,
which costs from $4,000 TO $4,000. Cream
which has become grabbed with age or heat
is run through the homogenizer and comes out
reiuvenated, or at least so altered as to be
available for ice cream of determined favor.
And il the manufacturer has no spoiled cream
to feed to the monster, old butter will do or
any oily substance which, when melted down
first and then emulsihed by the homogenizer,
NAV be colored, favored and frozen and turned
out as ice cream.
Then there are those ice cream manufac-
turers who use skinned milk or dried milk
powder This powder becomes liquid with
the addition of water. but to freeze into
proper semblance OF ice cream the resulting
substance needs the addition Of furniture glue
as binder. OF course, artificial coloring mat
ter is extensively used in III these fraudulent

rants are in this latter class, in marked dis
tnction to the poor and filthy conditions
prevailing in some of the largest and best
hotel and cafe kitchens"
It is only fair to add that some of New
Yorks hotels not only purchase the best
food, but prepare it under the most sanitary
and up-to-date conditions. One great hotel
the writer has in mind has all its food tested
by the Lederle laboratories before offering 1t
to its guests. Every one Of its servants hav-
ing any connection with the preparation or
serving of food is compelled to have his hn-
gers manicurcd daily. No servant is employed
until after physical examination by COM
petent physician on the spot determines his
soundness.
A daily clinic is held and servants are en-.
couraged to attend if they feel the need Of .
doctor, charge being made for his ser
vices. And as a further precaution against
the sickness Of its employees this hotel main
tains for its walters and men in uniform an
athletic club across the avenue, containing a
gymnasium, shower baths, loungng room, and
so on, where they may pass their leisure time
in wholesome recreation All cooks are re-
CURED to pass a physical examination peri
odically and a sanitary inspector is constantly
threading her way among them to see that the
strict rules of the establishment are observed.
It is hardly necessary 70 add that the toile.
arrangements for the convenience OF this no.
tells thousands Of servants are OF the most
ample and up-to date sort, scientifically stu
ated and carefully looked after.
Even the kitchens and dining rooms, of
which there are about Q dozen altogether.
devoted to the different kinds and grades of
employees, are subject to the same safeguard,
that are placed about those devoted to the
guests. Throughout the great hotel every
kitchen appliance known to man is used TO
obviate the human handling of the food, and
even OF the dishes. All the silverware, for
example, is put through machine which
scours them with chilled steel shot and soap.
The shot alone, carefully selected so that no
imperfect casting will scratch the silver, is
worth $4,000.
To guard itself against the purchase OF
fraudulent or unclean food this hotel, be-
sides having all its purchases tested by the
Lederle laboratories, makes itself everything
it conveniently can. II manufactures all its
own butter, distills all its own carbona,ed
water makes it's own ginger ale. Obviously
these ultra precautions could only be taken
in an establishment as large as a third-rate
city. They constitute the last word in the
sanitary care of food.
Eternal vigilance is the price, not only of
liberty. but OF health. in this complex world.

community OF a complex world are more no.

ings to quit using such material. He contin-
ued, and I caught him under cover OF night
smuggling rotten egg fluid into his bakery
AS result of arrest and exposure through
the newspapers his business decreased so
alarmingly that shortly thereafter he became
bankrupt Some idea of this firms original
production can be obtained from the state
ment that before the arrest and exposure sew
enty-five wagons were constantly busy in the
delivery OF its product to the consumer"
Space will not permit the enumeration Of
half the frauds perpetrated on the consumer
in the manufacture and sale of food products.
Those already cited are merely specimens of
their kind. But if it were possible to indulge
in an exhaustive discussion of them we should
still be neglecting equally important and
large class Of violations connected with the
handling of food In public restaurants and
hotels. Our inspector says on this point:
NOT CALCULATED TO ACT AS AN
APPETIZER.
Last year / made a tour of inspection OF
the large and we'll known hotels and res
taurants of New York City. The conditions
under which l found food prepared in the
showiest places were vile and revolving and
serious reflection on the officers charged with
the enforcement Of sanitation laws: The first
place have in mind employs I4o walters and
cooks-many more in the winter months. The
toilet for the use Of all these employees was
located in the scullery, close to where the
food was prepared. The flooring OF
the sculery was in bad order and employees
changed their clothing in the same room
where the food was prepared
AT another place, where the steward as
sured me that the food purchased was the best
that money could obtain q found this true),
the conditions surrounding the preparation OF
the excellent food were anything but decent.
The kitchen is located in the rear OF the base
ment, mechanically ventilated, and taking in
its fresh air supply from over the window
which ventates the ,oilet. Foods par
tally prepared and waiting for cooking were
stored in tin gallon cans, converted from old
tomato cans, the top ragged edge having been
hammered down. All the cleaning ever de-
viscd could not make such receptacles sani-
tary, and, further, they were not safe for the
kitchen employees 10 use, who, when hastily
taking food therefrom, cut their hands and
fingers, the blood from these wounds tricklng
back into the food.
Il visited the bakehouse Of a very select
hotel and found the baker attred in a clean
white coat But before he placed three loaves
in the oven he moistened the blade OF pen
knife with his lips, and then cut diagonal
line in three places on each loaf. Such prac-
tees are what the patron does not see or
imagine as he eats what he believes to have
been prepared under the best conditions.
AT the same time there are quite a few
restaurants and dining rooms in New York
which prepare foods under proper conditions
of sanitation, ventilation and care OF kitchens
and receptscles. Department store restau-

Z PROSPECT PLEASES; ONLY
THE JUICE IS VILE.

Consider for a moment the detail OF the
oo,arse Juice. Here is an item of 0bserva-
,iop SET down in the examination report Of
candidate for director of the Bureau OF Food
Inspection This man wrote:
Last summe-. as walked along Broadway,
Sixth Avenue Fourteenth Street and other
orincipal thoroughfares, I took note Of flag

the summer. ir sales made from the fronts OF
buildings located on the above named streets.
The complaint ! nov make ellis attention to
the orange Juice vendor. Their places Of bust

spcuousy and lastly arrayed 70 lure the
thirsty victims into Thinking they were partak-

thirst parlors were 50 alluring they carried
III. patrons mind 10 the land where oranges
grow. or gave foundation to the thought that
n. djspensers were ,ssociated with large dis
uibuters OF oranges.
This concoc.i ion never was orange juice, nor
could they afford to give a elasstul OF real
orange juice for rive cents; any inspector ia
niar with the cost of oranges, should be
readily attracted 70 such sales
The repor, then turns its attention TO the
penny sodas" which children are in the habit

Of buying in the foreign sections OF the city.
These drinks. it says, are usually made from
ETHEREAL havors. arthcially colored and are
sweetened with saccharin. The vendor, how
ever. often keeps the real fruit juice in bot
tie conveniently placed where he reach it
when any one suspiciousy resembling an IN
spector presents himself. II is, therefore ne
oessary to send children as decoys 20 buy the
drinks offered.
The false fruit syrups, il has been found, are
free from ssccharin. This sweetener is In
geniousy added with the spoon with which the
clerk at the fountain stirs the drink He keeps
the spoon in a glass apparently containing
water but really containing heavy solution
of sacoharin, enough of which clngs TO the
spoon when he removes il to sweeten the Gus
toner's drink If the customer should COM
plain that the drink was not sufficiently sweet
the clerk would simply take the spoon out OF
the glass and stir the drink again with the re-
mark that perhaps he hadn't stirred it thor
oughly the first time. See If it isn't sweet
enough now" he might add. The whole scene
must seem familiar to almost every one who
has ever consumed sodas. and not necessarily
penny sodas.'
DISHONESTY WHICH OFFENDS
AGAINST LITTLE CHILDREN.
The incentive to a continuation OF this vio-
lation," continues this food inspectors report
is indeed great when it Is considered that one
pound Of saccharin will go as far as 500 pounds
Of sugar, the saccharin costing SIPS pound"
Its meanness, however, seems abysrnal when
il is remembered that il is children, for the
most part and poor children, who the vic
tins and that real sugar should form an i'm
portant nutritive element In their daily food
consumption. "Saccharin." says the report,
having no food value should not be tolerated"
When we come to ice cream, the plot thick
ems. Manufacturers whose places, outwardly,
appear the last word in sanitation, are in the
habit OF taking back ice cream which had been
delivered 70 retailers several days before and
re-working t. This may be done successfully,
especially if chocolate havoring be added,
since this particular lavoring is sufficiently
strong to disguise the age of the substance.
AS chocolate ice cream, many quart Of sour
and rejected cream, nee strawberry or vanilla
or whatever, finds its way to the unsuspecting
consumer.
