A Brief Chapter on P»od and Ita Adnt- “A cop of ooffen r > ’ Mjrt Alexandra f Dumas, the elder—who, by the mgr, was M great a gourmand aa ha was romanctot —fa eun of coffee is the review of the dinner.'' M. Dumas was right. Of all the food adulterations that of coffee is the most palpable. Not only is the roasted and ground article adulterated, but—incredible ns it-may bound—the green bean is Imitated from common day, colored with arsenic. If rumor has it correct, there is a green ooffee manu factory in Chicago, where nature is “corrected” by machinery. Median!- cal appliances mold, press and dry Cook county clay into coffee beans, as it is 8aid,’at a cost of about eight cents a pound. Of course, this artificial coffee cannot be used in its purity, or rather impurity. It is used to mix with the genuine article, and, strange as it may sound, the day bean assumes the same color m roasting that the natural bean does. * Coffee roasters all over the land ad mit that they use dale bread in roasting coffee. The bread-is freed from its crust ! and *then cut 'into small cubes.. The roasters claim that the presence of this bread during the process of the roasting improves the coffee. Of course, if the latter is sold in the bean it is impossible to make the customer pay for stale bread, but if ground the bread becomes part of the coffee. Think of M. Dumas’ glow ing tribute to the after dinner cup, and then, imagine a compound made up as followq: Chicory, peas,' beans, ' date stones, biscuits, figs, roasted hominy, burned sugar, acorns, mangel-wurzel, dandelion, turnips, parsnips, carrots, rye and potato flour. Tho introduction of chicory into coffee is defended by many roasters on the ground that it really improves the coffee and does no mischief to the drinker. But Dr. Hassell, a German authority, says that chicory in prolonged use is in jurious to health. He claims that the root—belonging to the class of radishes, by tho way—produces heartburn, cramp in tho stomach, loss of appetite, acidity in the mouth, constipation with intermit tent diarrhoea, weakness of the limbs, trembling, sleeplessness, and a drunken cloudiness of the'senses. Professor Beer, the famous Vienna oculist, goes so far as to claim that chicory in large doses pro duces blindness. The adulteration of teas are even worse than those of coffees. The practice of using exhausted tea leaves is so well known as scarcely to bear mention. These exhausted leaves are “faced,” or colored, and fixed up with plumbago, gum, indigo, Prussian bide, turmeric, China clay, mica, soapstone or French chalk, sulphate of lime, rose pink, Vene tian red, carbonate of copper, arsenite of copper, chromate and bi-chromate of potash and carbonate of lime and mag nesia. Other substitutes for the genuine article are leaves of the elder, willow, ‘ aloe and other plants. and trees, lye tea, paddy husk, sweeping of tea hou&o floors, sand, quartz, starch and magnetic oxide of iron. The most dangerous of all food swind ling practices is that which lowers tho nutritive quality of milk. Its direct ef- ■ feet is largely upon infants and small children. It is the opinion of the ablest medical observers that half of the infant mortality in cities is due to sophisticated milk. Professor Wiley, of tho United States department of agriculture, asserts that “it is doubtful whether 10 per cent, of the milk which reaches tho tablp is • pure.” The principal adulterant of milk in these modem times is water. Tho cream is skimmed and water is added to restore the bulk and weight. The color is restored by coloring matter. Flour or starch, boiled white carrots, milk of al monds, sheeps’ brains, gum tragacanth, carbonate Of soda and chrome yellow also enter into milk as adulterants. There is practically no limit to the adulteration of sugar. Cane sugar is manufactured from grape or starch glu- . <nse, wheat and potato, flour, tapioca starch, blood, pipe clay, marble dust, gypsum, bone dust, lead, iron, limegind sand. The confectionery sugar consists of glucose, terra alba, chalk, arrowroot, sand, wheat and potato flour, and hy drated sulphate of lime. These articles are colored, as the case may require, by cochineal, indigo and Prussian blue, car bonates of copper and lead, white lead, vermillion, gamboge, chromates of lead, sap green, arsenite of copper, Indian red, umber, sienna, Vandyke brown, cobalt, smalt, Naples yellow, bisulphate of mer- i cury, sulphate of arsenicum, bronze powders or alloys of copper and zinc. Speaking upon the law concerning adulterants, Manager Robert M. Floyd remarked: “The English have dealt with the question of food adulteration very intelligently, and, as experience has shown, very profitably to the empire. Adulteration or food had grown to enor mous dimensions some years ago in Eng land. A parliamentary commission re ported that scarcely an article that was served on the table was free from fraudu lent admixture or was what it pretended to bo. The result was the passage of an net of a simple and comprehensive nature, which required that all manufactured articles of food should be labeled with a statement of all their ingredients, fraud, upon detection, being punished with ex treme severity. If coffee contained chicory the manufacturer and seller must niako this fact distinctly known. The proportion of cornstarch employed in tempering mustard, and. incidentally expanding its bulk, must be stated. And so through the long list of comestibles and condiments tho law enforces perfect candor between buyer and seller. The cffeqt of this legislation was to purify the trade and then to bringit to unprece dented proportions. The reason why Great Britain has a monopoly, or some thing very like It, in the condiment trade tff tho world, to because her great houses guoruntco purity."—Cblcsgo Herald. New* for Suffering Women.
