MANY FOODS HAVE
 BEEN FOUND ADULTERATED
Others Found To Be Misbranded or
 Below Standard.

Part " of the Report for 1916 of the Connecticut Agricultural Esper- iment Station records the results of the examinations of foods and drugs in the year 1916.- 1869 samples were an- alyzed, of which 392 were adulterated, misbranded or below standard (exclu- sive of proprietary medicine) Six so- called "hygienic" coffees were exam ined, all claiming a low caffein con- tent.
 Twenty-two additional analyses of "diabetic" foods bring the important and authoritative work of the station On this subject strictly up to rate, it's records now containing anlyses of ractically every food of this character offered in the American market
 Both the sweetened and the un- sweetened varieties of condensed milk were inspected. All but of the 40 brands satisfied the official standards. Attention is called to the nislea ding directions given by many manufactur- CTS for the use of their condensed milk

George McC. Staplin of Westerly, a brakeman on the Providence and Harlem river freight train, was killed Tuesday afternoon at Stamford, Conn, when he stepped in front of an Adams express special. He had been sent back from his train to set nag and walked from one track to the other just as the express special came along. The remains were taken to an under taking room in Stamford
 Staplin was well known ln Westerly and Stonington- He was the son of MT and Mrs James E. Staplin of Un- ion street.. Stonington, being born in the borough Oct 1, 1883. He married Julia A. daughter of Richard J. Rooney of Canal street Westerly.
 For a number of years Staplin was employed in the Stonington velvet mill, but recently had been working on the railroad He was a member Of the Stonington Home guard, Hope coun- cil No. s. Junior O. U. A. NJ, and Mar raganse-t lodge, No. ', I. O. O. F. He is survived by his wife and parents.
 StapIin's father, James E. Stapiin. of Stonington, and father-in-l law, Rich ard J. Rooney. of this town, went to Stamford yesterday morning to arrange for the removal of the body either to Stonington or Westerly.

] in infant feeding. A strict compliance with the direction in most instances l gives feeding mixture greatly def1- cient in protein and fat and totally 1 inadequate for the growing child. For the first time in nine years the station made a general inspection of 1 ground spices. With the exception Of | cayenne pepper the samples showed a 1 high degree of purity. The gross adulterations formerly so prevalent are practically nonexistent in the spices sold in Connecticut today.
 The drug work of the station during 1 the past year was confined chiefly to l an examination of drugs taken from 1 the stock of dispensing physicians and to a continuation of it's important work l in the analysis of proprietary remedies. The examination of physicians drugs is, we believe, the first of the kind made in this country, and the results are very satisfactory as the number of substandard samples found was very small On the other hand the drugs, mostly in tablet or pffular form. showed wider variations in the composition of the individual tablets than should be the case if the claim that tablets afford uniform dosa ge and medication" is to maintain. In nearly half of the determinations the variation from the claim amounted to over 10 per cent, in one-third over 15 per cent, in one-fourth over 9 per cents, whole in two cases the maxi
 mum variations amounted to 45 and 65 per cent.
 Thirty-eigh new analyses bring the number of proprietary remedies an-
 alyzed by the station up to about 400.
 The present report gives a very in Structive summary of this work, list
 ing all the remedies found to contain
 habit forming, dangerous or poisonous
 drugs.
 Partly because of the nature of the
 remedies examined, and partly because
 there has been an actual improve
 ment in the ingredients used in such
 remedies during the past few years,
 only a few dangerous drugs (other
 a1cohoD were found in the medicines
 this year. namely, pyrogallol and cor
 rosive sublimate each once, and
 strychnin three times.
 The remedies examined this year.
 however, include some outra geously
