Hotel Chemists.

The practical application of chemistry
in the administration of n great hos
telry Is the newest wrinkle in hotel
management. A large hotel in west
ern city has lately added a fully
equipped chemical laboratory and en-
gagged a graduate chemist and two as
sistants.
These chemists will apply scientific
tests to all the food products which
come into the hotel. 1t is claimed that
hotel buyers. purchasing large guam
titles, are frequently imposed upon by
dealers, who fill the orders in part with
inferior goods. The chemist will
promptly detect all such practices.
The hotel chemist makes study of
soaps and cleansing powders. These
apparently Insignificant items cost
thousands of dollars annually in a
large hotel. The individual cakes of
soap supplied to all guests are begin
ming to receive consideration. since a
Colorado woman has threatened suit
for a skin irritation. said by her doc
tor to be due to some ingredient in
the soap furnished her at hotel. The
hotel chemist will have a formula for
the soap in cakes and also for the
liuuid soap used in the public wash
rooms He will analyZe specimens
from each order filed in order to be
sure that it complies with the proper
standard.
