SOME PACTS FROM THR WEALTH OFFICR—THE ADUL- TERATION OF FOOD SAID TO BE QUITE GENERAL— ‘WARMLESS SUBSTANCES SOMBTIMES USED—THE MILE AND THE DRUG QUESTION. ’ “While Ido not like all the provisions of the Jaw,” said Health Officer Townshend to a Stax Te- Porter, referring to the new law to punish adul- Verations of food and drugs, “tt is the best one we have ever had, It is time something was being done to prevent food aduiterations. If the law is carried out it will prove an excellent thing for the city. ‘Ihe adulteration of food 1s of more import- Ance than the adulteration cf medicines, because ‘every physician looks after, or 13 supposed to look after, his own medicines, but with food it 1s differ. ent, Food ts only looked after in general way, And with such laws as we already had f00d was Rot inspected to find whether there were any aduiterations, but simply to Sind whether it was in a marketadle condition or not. With the small force of inspectors provided the health officer could not go into the whole matter very well ‘The inspectors have all they can do to 100k afte and condema unsound and unwholesome 100d, ‘This question has Deen agitated by the health omice for « number of years, but this is tne first step congress has taken toward giving relief asked for. RMLESS BUT FRAUDULENT. “But,” continued Dr. Townshend, “the com- munity has beem more imposed upon in food adulterstion net of an unhealthy character, In other words people are acquired to pay for what ‘they do not get. In this respect think the law 4s lacking. ‘The law should have been framed 60 a8 to proseclte persons for adulterating food with substances not unhealthy or for swicdling. Many articles used for adulteripg purposes are not uo wholesome, In fact, bui few of them are. Take, for ins:ance, butterine and oleomargarine. When made propery they are not unhealthy, but. to the contrary. ‘They are Just as healthy as butter, and when made clean I Would just a8 lef eat eltuer of {bem as the genuine artice. But the community 's robbed when paying for these aruicies for genuine butt here 13 a law punishing the sale of oleomargarine and butterine, but not because they are manufactured articles. The vations are for fraud In selling the mixture for the genuine article. And so it 1s with most articles of food. ‘They are not adulterated with any deleterious substances, ADULTERATION GENERAL “Almost every article of food we purchase is adulterated to some extent. Take coffee, for in- stance, and in 1t we find burned beans or corn, but they are not unhealthy. But then the coffee does not taste the same and beans and corn ut 30 and 40 ceats a pound is an expensive aruicie of foo. And so 1 is with almost every article of food pur chase “With regards to liquors it is an easy matter to inspect them. ‘They should be inspected in whole- sale houses upon their arrival here, ‘The articles used im aduiterating lguors are, as a rule, not unhealthy substances, I don’t think that liquors are adulterated to the extent that is generally supposed. ‘There 1s nothing more poisouuus used ky adulterating liquor than the alcohol. Even tLe finest kinds of brandies are not healtuy when used toexcess. Water is frequently used in the adul- teration, and as In Other instances it 1s not un. healthy ‘but is merely a swindle on the pubite. It 4s am easy matter to discover the deleterious effects of malt liquors by inspecting tue breweries and making av epalysis Of the liquors found. Some- fumes too much soda is used by the brewers to make tne Deer loam. ‘That is usually the only un- healthy articie put in the beer. THE DRUG QUESTION. “As to the adulterations of drugs I think the People are under the wrong impression, Drugs, as a rule, are not usually adulterated, because the aduiterations in many cases cost more than the geuuine article, 1 have uo doubt but that some Grugyists adulterate quinine wit acueap powder, ua there ace plealy of dealers who are scoundrels enough to Use cueap and injurious substances In the aduiterations, “The principal adulterant by druggists 1s Water, Which 13 not woleakby, but it Weakens Ube effect of tue drug, wuich may’ prove ab injury Wo Weaith, But in such cases the attend- ing paysiciaa nas 4 chance wo lovk after the medi- Give and “Wwe patient, and can soon remedy the ew SKIMMED AND ADULTERATED MILK. “There seeuis lo be a geveral idea that most of the milk sold in this city 13 adulterated, but I (hing that that 18 a wrong impression.

Only once did I ever see her depart from this artistic unconsciousness. “It was ata beneft performance in London, and, Kachel Was playing In the one-act comedy ‘of «‘Lesbia's Sarton, AB,he stage DOX sat two handsome ages Lol eight and ten years, the young sons of the actress, And it was to them that she played, and for the all her Anest points Were elaboraved,, and. when, at the close of the Dertormance, they threw her & very little wreath Of ordinary flowers, she would suffer no one to touch it, but picked it up herself, It was the only Ume that I ever saw Rachel ack the pres- ence of a spectator, or witnessed any demonstra. on of the passionate maternal love that formed 80 powerful an eement in her navure, ‘Avery interesting experience 1h my profes sional career,” continued Mrs. Lander, “was an engagement that I once played 1n San Francisco. ‘The leading man of the stock company that sup- me-was a boy, not yet twenty-one, and be- fore the performances were begun I was father 1n dread of his youth and inexperience. But 1 Speedily found’ that I had no cause for alarm, ‘batever he did was stamped with the imprint of genius and all defects in stage business were Atoued for by that supreme quaiifeauion, For ine stance, one day when we were rehearsing the transiation of “La Dame aux Cumelias,” the young actor asked me What attitude I wisued him Yo assume during the death scene of the last act. ‘Kneel before me or at my side,’ Was_ my response, ‘so that I can look dowa at you.’ But on the nignt of the performance, carried away by the emotion Of the Scene, he forgot my directions, and instead of kneeling before me he knelt on the back of the Jow sofa, so that I had to look up at itn, not down at him, as I had intended, But it did not make @ parutle of aifference. It was not a young actor playlug the part, but by the magic of genius 1 was Armana Duval himself that filled the scene with his presence. And it was no wonder, for the young actor was Edwin Boon, “Gifted as he Was on the stage, he was a real boy off of it, with alla boy's love of fun and ad- Venwure, One day be kept us all waiting fully an hour for rebearsal, When he arrived.
