Yet the work done there has to do not with the making Of gold or a ‘Vital elixir, but with the ! annlysis of food and drink. It is the chemical division of the internal revenue bureau, and one of the matiers it has in charge is the detection of fraud in the sale of oleomargurine for butter.

How many persons are there who os cigars in a box after they have bought TRE SAME RULES APPLY To TOBACCO IN OTHER enares. Smoking tobacco can only be put ap in pack- ages of two, three, four, eight and sixteen ounces. If # man should put up smoking tobacco in two-pound parcels his goods would be liable to seizure. Manufacturers sometimes put up overweight packages. One of them, for example, sells five-ounce bundles of emoking tobacco labelled four ounces for the sake ol catching custom. Thisis illegal. Cigarettes must be in packets of ten, twenty, fifty and 100. It would be against the law to put a 20-cent stamp on a pack of fifteen cigarettes. Similar regulations apply to plug. fine cut and snuff tobacco. Another object which they have is to produce uniformity in the trade. Cigars ured to be taxed according to their value, but this method gave rise to many frauds and required the employment of skilled experts. At present all cigars are taxed $3 per 1,000.
