ably does not realize the benefit It Is
deriving from the operation of the
pure food law which is administered
by the department of agriculture.

on the lookout for meats and meat pro
ducts that are thought to be below
tile standard, or to contain adultera
tions of an injurious nature. Samples
of ail such products are secured and
forwarded to Washington for a chemi
cal analysis by the biochemist* division
of the bureau of animal industry. An
average of forty samples of such arti
cles is received daily for inspection.

centage of the samples sent is con
demned. It is the op in ton of the offi
cials of the department that the law
has worked wonders as a deterrant
