"Although the pure food law has greatly decreased the percentage of STORE HERE CLOSED; OTHERS CONDUCTED BY RECEIVER BRIDEGROOM FORMERLY LIVED IN THIS CITY food adulteration, yet It has by no means ceased," said Dr. Albert P. Sy of the University of Buffalo faculty, in Alumni hall of the university Saturday afternoon.

"The trouble is the chemists for the manufacturers are about ten years ahead of those who are supposed, to make them behave. As soon as detected in one scheme they are ready to unfold another." Food adulteration was blamed by Pr. Sy for a considerable portion of the high cost of living. He explained the statement by adding that when a man buys adulterated food he Is paying for something: he is not receiving. Besides this phase of adulter i life I I may easily be determined by pouring a little hydrocloric acid in the juice and dipping a bright nail or piece of zinc In it.

If there is any copper sulphate In the Juice there will be deposited on the nail or zinc a black formation, he said. Lemon extract or oil of lemon, which used to be the most adulterated article sold in a drug store, also' may be detected by pouring some of the extract in a glass of water. The water. Dr. Sy said, will turn milky if the extract is genuine.

A person nerd not be an expert in butler in order to tell the difference between it and oleomargarine, and other imitations. A spoonful of butter. If held over a lire, will produce a quiet frothing whil spoonful of oleo will produce ColTee. which once (ranked next to lemon extract in point bf adulteration, will not dissolve readily in water, nor will it color it. also.
