Selentifie Daperts-=DCresence of Bae
terim,
ToLEDO, O., Aug. 3.~The jury in Judge
Meck's court in this city found
James White, a local grocer, guilty o
swelling adulterated coffe Fhe prose-
cution was based on un package of Are
buckles Arlo
The State of Olilo, through the Pure
Food Commission, prosecuted White,
The on trial for pearly a
month attracted atten
tion.
The manufacturers of
conducted the defense for Grocer
White. The best attorneys in the
country were retained to defend him,
but, after a short consultation, a ver-
dict of gulity was returned by the jury.
The State of Ohlo considers this a big
victory. Pure Food Comm!
Blackburn has been waging a warfare
on spurious food articles and the de-
partment has been successful.
The complaint of the State of Ohlo
was that Arlosa coffee was coated with
a substance which concealed defects In
the coffee and made It appear better
than it is. The State this
coating or glazing was a favorable me.
dium for the propagation of bacteria
Prof. G. A. Kirchmaler, of this city,
a well known chemist, was the princi
pal witness for the State, [Ile
made scientific examinations of sam
ples of Ariosa purchased from Grocer
White in the open market. He found
that each Ariosa berry contained ny
average of 300 bacteria Mr. Kirch
maler further testified that other cof
fees he examined contained few bacte
ria or none at all. He declared that
| the glassed coffee was not a wholesome
food product.
Chemist Schmidt, of Cincinnati
roborated the testimony of I'rof. Kirch.
mailer. The State did not present fur-
ther testimony.
The defense through the Arbuckles,
, Who prepared this glazed coffee, se
cured some of the most eminent chem-
ists and scientists in the United States
to give testimony In their belialf. Prof.
H. W. Wiley. of the United States Ag-
ricultaral Department; Prof. Vaughn of
Ann Arbor University; Profs. Blelle
and Webber, of the Oblo State Univer.
sity, were called to defend Ariosa. Dr.
Wiley bad made a careful examination
of the method of manufacturing Ario-
sa. He told of the 10,000,000 eggs used
by the Arbackles yearly in the prepara-
tion of this glazing. On this point in
cross examination, the State's attorney
deftly drew from him the Information
that these eggs might be kept In cold
storage by the Arbuckles for a year or
two at a time.
The experts who heard Dr. Wiley's
testimony were pleased to be able to
“eaten” so famous a chemist. The doce
tor at one point in his testimony ex-
plained very clearly how it is that the
“gg put into the coffee pot by the bouse
wife settles the coffee. He said that
fhe heat coagulates the egg. and as it
sinks to the bottom of the pot it carries
the fine particles of coffee with it, and
thus clarifies the drink. It is the net of
congulntion in the coffee pot that does
the work. Later on In his cross exam:
inhtion, he had to adit that when the
ogg was put on Ariosa coffee at the
factory it became coagulated, and as
egg ennnot be coagulated but once, that
the coating on coffee was practically no
value, ns a “settler” when it reached
the coffee pot.
Prof. Wiley acknowledged that the
glazing might be a favorable medium
for the propagation of bacteria, al-
though he would not testify positively
| either way because he was not a bac
| teriologist.

Prof, Bleile., another witness for the
defense, found any number of lively

and he agreed that glazed coffee surely
was a more favorable medium for the
propagation of bacteria than unglazed
coffee.
Pure Food Commissioner Blackburn
says: “The State Is very wuch elated
over its victory agalpst this corpora-
tion. We are now considering the ad-
visability of Informing every grocer in
the State of Ohlo that It Is an Infrae.
tion of the laws to sell Ariosa, and at
the same time give warning con.
sumery that the coffee Is an adulterst-
ed food article.”
The verdict of the fury in this case is]
of national Importance because a great
many other States have pure food laws |
like that of Oblo, and it is natural to
suppose thant similar action will be
taken by other us Food Commis

When a promisent picture dealer of |
New York starts the ¢ of woman's
curiosity, his wife always laughs and |
blushes, for she knows the story that |
is coming. i
“One day,” the picture dealer begins, |
“1 decided to the small exhibi-
tion studio which leads from the gal-
lery and put ‘Private’ on the door just
for an experiment. There was an m-
portant collection of water colors by
one of our best artists in the gallery.
I sat at the desk just outside the en-
trance and presented to each lady a
fresh catalogue of the pal When
she took it, I politely requested her to
leave It as she went out.
“This request was complied with in
every Instance, and 1 was enabled to
notice a most interesting series of co.
incidences. . On every catalogue save
one there was in one place or another
a little smear of gilding transferred to
the paper from the carefully prepared
knob of the door marked ‘Private. ”
When the story had been accepted,
with laughter, by his listeners, some
body is sure to ask, “How about the
one catalogue that was undecorated?”
To this query the picture dealer has
one invariable answer:
“It was the catalogue carried by the
young woman who afterward became
my wife. She told me that the other
women turned the knob merely to see
if the door was locked, but she knew
