B. NJ.
As have stated in answer to a sim

many substances that are capable OF be-
ing fermented, such as various sugars,
molasses, glucose, beer, malt, wine, and
dilute alcohol. Thus one may find on
the market not only cider vinegar, but
wine or grape vinegar, malt vinegar, "a

CHEMISTS REPORT

The eyer-increasing desire on
the part of the public to secure
definite knowledge relative to its
food supply has resulted in an
ever-increasing amount of work
for this department.
We believe this desire points
unerringly toward the time of
better foodstufs, and that the
tide is setting in the right direc-
ton is evidenced by the demand
for information-not about the
bad--but rather about the good.
The public interest seems CEN
tered more upon hearing the
name and maker of an honest
brand of goods, than in knowing
what the dishonest brand con-
tains.
Rather than give space to de-
scribing the many harmful pre-
servatives and adulterants found
in foodstuffs during the past year.
we prefer to submit a detailed
list of high grade. pure, honest
food products that are worthy of
honorable mention.
1t must be distinctly under
stood that this list does not rep
resent all pure foods. although it
covers almost all advertised
brands of foods having national
distribution.
1t is the beginning of what we
hope will some day result in
complete classification of all
foods sold.

Arc Forbidden Preservatives.

We greatly desire some information
on the permissible amount of boric acid,
or borates, and saccharin in such prod
uets as ice-cream cones and other food
products. R. II. L.
Boric acid and its salts, together with
saccharin, are regarded as substances
injurious and deleterious to health when
used in food products; consequently they
cannot be employed in the manufacture
of ice-cream cones or other products in
any proportion.

Absorber OF Moisture.

The other day | purchased box of
salt and on the wrapper it stated that
it contained per cent. of carbonate OF
magnesia. Why should they put this
substance in salt? j. H.
Carbonate of magnesia in small guam
titles is sometimes added to salt to
make it run more freely. 1t does this,
of course, by absorbing the moisture,
leaving the salt in drier condition.
Carbonate of magnesis is not an injuri-
GUS substance.

Uses For Lemons.

Among the millions of housewives who
use lemons daily it is safe to state that
not more than three in 10000, if that
many. know all the practical uses to
which lemons may be put. 1t is said
there are NJ distinct uses for lemons
and, contrary to the general belief, only
a comparatively few of these are recipes
for salads, desserts, and other dishes.
Lemons are more than food. They are
economical household helps, il being pos
sible and convenient 10 use them effee-
lively in cleaning silver, glassware and
brass, removing stains and mildew, soft,
ening hard water for washing, and per-
forming many other services of this
character.
Lemon juice is medicinal to a cOnsid-
able extent, and is also good for the
hands, the complexion, the hair, the
teeth, the gums, etc.
America is the proud grower OF the
best lemons in the world. One has but
to see the great shipments of this fruit
now arriving daily from California TO
appreciate this fact fully. The amount
Of these shipments has made prices low
er than usual so lemons are economical
now as well as excellent in quality.
Housewives should and will use more
lemons than they do when they know all
the facts, according 20 domestic science
experts. The lemons, in other words,
should be their right-hand fruit.
