One sample of hamburg steak and one of bulk sausage were found to contain borax, and were therefore placed in the illeclass. But the commonest of all the preservatives used was sodium sulphite. This varied from a very small amount to one-half of 1 per cent, in one sample of hamburg steak.

The use of sodium sulphite has been absolutely prohibited by the German government, and in Dantzig, Germany, 112 of the 122 butchers of the city were haled into court in one year for using it.

Washington, June 22.-The space in front of the speaker's desk of the house resembled a small section of a delicatessen store and a corner grocery, with cereals, jams, jellies, tins of peas, toglass and a funnel for the purpose of demonstrating the contention of the state and foreign commerce pure food bill is necessary - that a pure food bill is necessary tor the protection of the people. Mann was the demonstrator. Cure for the Opium Habit. "Medicines now on the market adin the strongest term to cure the opium habit," said Mann, "show on investigation enough opium to de-

They were especially interhe said, in their Old Tom gin extracts, which give the exact taste of the original article. Then to still furinterest the house he said that this firm claims to make any kind of liquor out of ethal alcohol, with no liquor in it. Black pepper, he said, is a fruitful source of adulteration, the "filler" being sold in five-ton weights, according to a letter which Mann read.

Stevens of Minnesota assisted Mann, and handed the several articles to him. "Is he a regular pharmacist?" asked Gaines of Tennessee, speaking of Mann. Bowgracefully, Mann replied that "The gentleman from Illinois has borne the title of doctor for many years. He had demonstrated his right to lecture bethe University of the House."

Freezin, he said, was a powder sold to preserve meat like cold storage. He admitted that it might keep meats from spoiling, but it was most injurious to health, being composed of sulphite of soda and red coal tar dye. Taking up the subject of canned to - matoes Mann held up three cans, each being of different weight and yet all bought for three pounds. "The departstores of New York, PhiladelChicago and Washington, and the mail order houses, sell the short weight cans," said Mann, which was received with applause. Mann said he was not engaged in an onslaught on the canning interests of the country, but he insisted that standard cans ought to be full weight and the conwere entitled to that considMann received an ovation when he concluded.
