If* a shbrt time you will see nothing' but light brown sugar on the majii ket, and all granulated sugars wjlj be of that color. Health has been regarded above beauty in the fram j iug of the pure food law. In many other things like Changes will be ; made, i The consumer should nov j carefully watch w hat lie buys aim | • let out tie adulterated article. . A r | small demand would soon drive it | from the market. Notice the can or package that you buy, and if the j articles are adulterated, you wifi find it on the wrapper—in some cases in the very smallest print, -and in other cases devious ways] have been used to deceive the purchaser and yet remain within the pale of the law. While ugome manufacturers claim that the adulterated article is just as good as the pure, that statement can be taken with a good many grains of salt ft is sale,to sayJthat the adult era* tions would not he used if lhe\ were not inferior to the genuine at tide, and such elaborate methods taken to hide the fact.
