Samples of all the milk, ice cream and meats were sent to the laboratories at Indianapolis for analysis. Mr. Tucker stated in an interview this morning that the dairy business in I-ebunon had Improved wonderfully within the past few years. Mr. Tucker is highly in favor of a weight and measure staler for the city and county. He gat out the ful-

"Within the past few months the adulteration of some classes of fjods have increased thirty-fivsi per cent aver i year ago, although the most of the adulterations are of a harm leas nature. These are found in the manufacturing of ice cream where starches

are used or in the making of aauaage and hamburger where floor Is used. In some cases I have found butchers using a pound of flour in a pound of tneut in the manufacturing of sansage and liamburger. This flour takes up a pound ami a half of water but by adding it the bulk of the meat is not increased. In this way the consumer pays about twenty cents a pound for water and flour. When this is used the hjtrhor is compelled by law to maik the package to that effect. "I find many substitutions made in the gioceries such as lard compound for lard, ihstilled vinegar for cider vinegar, etc. I have found some violations in the display of meats and foods but not so many here as in some places, butchers or grocers iir farbidden to display meats on counters without having them covered. Shoit Weights. "If the people of Boone county and libanon could only be made t.' realize just how much th shortage of weights and measures amounted to is this county within a year's time no time would be lost in getting a county sealer. I will firmly state that in one year's time if this county had a good weight und measure inspector tile people would lit? saved w,uv3. I hope that the people can be brought to realize the importance, of an omce of this kind. So long as there is no inspector or sealer Here the people of the po'inty are invited and nrge, J0 report all known Saw violations either to myself. Dr. H. E. ttamard at Indianapolis or Dr. Herma A.
