Chief of State Bureau
OF Inspection Speaks CT
Food Authorizations
Interesting and Instructive Address
Given by A. M. G. Soule at Satur-
day Evening Session Of Capital
GRANGE Held at G. A. r. Hall

Foods and their AdulteratiOn"
was the subject upon which A. NJ. q.
Soule. chief OF the division of in
Spection Of the State Department Of
Agriculture. spoke Saturday night at
the meeting Of Capitol Grange which
was held at G.. a. II. hall.
He first spoke OF the change in the
source of the food supply from the
time that each man produced his
own food to the present time when
nearly all are dependent upon others
for their food supply. This change
has resulted in two methods OF adult
iteration being practised. the actual
addition of some other substances
10 the foodstuff and that adultera-
ton which follows improper hand
ling of the foodstuff.
In the first class, there are two
kinds of adultcration-That with in
furious substances and that with IN
ferior materials. Because of the
possibility for adultcration, laws nave
been passed both by the state and
country. putting restrictions on the
sale of foodstuffs, so that FOOD must
he what it purportS to be and must
also come up to a certain standard
for weight. IT must be free from
deleterous, inferior and unwholesome
matter and must be possessed OF us
fun nutritive value.
Some of the foods likely 10 be
adulterated. which Mr.. Soule took
ur. more in detail are olive Oil. vlne-
gar, milk, CLANS, oysters and more
especially upon that despicable
form of adulteration which occurs
in the manufacturing OF favofinS
extracts. This is done usually by
adding coumarine in place OF the eN-
tract from the vanilla bean. Mr..
Soule also touched briefly on the ad-
! alteration of drugs resulting from
| careless handling.
Ice cream was another common
| food that was taken up. MI Souie
| said that the law of Maine required
that ice cream to be sold must con-
| tain at least IA per cent OF butter

The Mail Tube.

A report on the preliminary trial OF

tied with declaring that 1t showed

the saving OF mere time is far from

matter. There is something of vastly
greater Importance TO think Of.
The saving of vehicular space in

A Motor Car or a House !

The chief architect OF the British
Ministry OF Health, RAYMOND UNwIN.
has returned to England after visit
in the United States with the state
ment that here we are doing little to
relieve the housing shortage.
Most Americans" says Mr.. U.s.
WIN. do not care very much about
homes just now but seem to spend
their time sitting in motor cars.
which about one in ten OF the popu-
lation possesses"
The inference Is that Americans
are more eager to buy motor cars
than houses. This is not exactly the
case. The people of this country like
to own their homes. Eleven million
families, practically half the pop
ulation. live in their own homes,
although these include large num-
Der of farmers.
If Americans could buy houses as
readily and with the same assurance
OF getting their moneys worth as
when they buy automobiles they
might be buying houses with the old
avidity. But they cannot.
There are no wizards OF quantity
production in the small house build
ing game. Houses are built very
much in the prehistoric way. Their
builders have learned little from
modern engineering-eyen from gen.
fuses who put up skyscrapers.
Some motor car prices are as low
as they were before the war. few
even lower. House building prices
arc sky high. Mr.. UNTEaMYEE, In
the investigation here, showed the
grip which tho material men held on
prices. Everybody knows how hard
il IS. under our immigration laws
TO get unskilled labor to dig cellars
aud trenches. Everybody knows how
much II costs, because of the labor
trust, TO hire bricklayers, plasterers
and other skilled workers.
So long as 1t costs nearly $1,000 o
room to build a little house--a house
scarcely larger than the type which
was built before the war at $1,000
for five rooms--is Il likely that the

Keep the Straits Open.

Straits OF the Dardanelles, the Bos-
porus and other Near East waters be

and TO ships OF war alike speaks for
the American heart and the Ameri-

In the turbulent territories border
ing those Eastern waters there are

quently at stake and heavy American
interests always at risk. They are
not alone in direct danger from
Turkish upheavals and Russian
chaos; the petty neighboring Balkan
States are faring torches that may
be thrown at any time into the
greater powder magazines along the
stretches from the Black Sea to the
Mediterranean.
There is no guardianship for
American lives and American prop
erty against the hazards of those
inhammabie peoples OF the Near
East unless it is in the battieships
and other war craft OF the great
Powers. There is no sure regard
for the laws Of nations and the laws
OF humanity unless it is at the warn
ing of the marines and of the guns
of foreign fleets.
When the American Government
demands that there shall be this
naval protection for its nationals and
for the nationals OF other countries
exposed to the ever lowering menace
OF the Near East it demands the only
care that can be assured them so
long as responsible government in
that part of the world is q fiction
and wild barbarism a fact. And the
American people. along with the a.
lied Powers, should stand back Of
those demands, though this should
mean keeping the Near East waters
open with the batteries Of the fleets.

The seed in the bloom s. rewarded.
The cloud in It's life giving rain.
But science has never recorded
The profit OF pleasure or pain.
What is there in Joy. that to win &
The baubles OF fortune are cast?
For laughter that rlpples a minute
Is less than a silence at last.
And eyes that are reddened with weep.
Ing
on ono certain fate may depend
Like all other eyes TO be sleeping
More quiet than dreams, In the end
The desoiate ache OF old sotrow.
The terrible throb OF new Joy.

Is raised with a VIII to destroy.
Yet neither is wasted, if after
A lifetime OF both we remain
A little the better for laughter
And hardly the worse for our pain.
