Sugar Leads to Arrest BURLAP DEALER SEIZED Itobert 51. Simmers, of thr,stntc food nnd dairy Inspection force, tins frus trated nllcRcd attempts during the last few dnjs to foist upon the public food unRt for human consumption. At the tame time, steps are belnj: taken to make Impossible tin ue by bakcrof rotten nnd tainted crrs. With this VXtegilj0""' the department had a 'an' l,aBp'n'cn- li expected to effectu ally clit"ok this evil that has been more or less prevalent in the past. Kiiforcc tnent of this law will brjjln nt once. An effort to let loose upon the public marts more than n half million pounds of corn flour and meal, which were Incrustcd with Impurities nnd filled with vermin, was discovered n day or two bro by Mr. Simmers, according to that offi cial. The Roods bad been lying in n warehouse in South Wntcr street for more than n year. PurliiR the food scarcity it lnwl reposed in the ware house until It was damaged by fire and water In the storage plant in May. WIS. The meal was tben taken over by the underwriters, nccordiiiR to the food agent. Ileccntly persons in possession of the (polled corn flour expressed their in tention to sell It In the markets. Mr. Simmers went to the place, took sam ples and refused the men permission to cell 'it when It was discovered upon analysis that it was unfit for consump tion. An argument ensued, but after being submitted to n board of arbitra tion the store of the flour and meal was sold as cattle food. Some time ago n fire on the piers of one of the sugar 'refiuerles datmiRed n quantity of sugar, Mr. Simmers said in relating nnother case, and this was auctioned ofl to those who were able to have it refined, lines, in which it wns contained, were nlso sold nt the auction. The merchant in question hnuled away several loads of the bur lap. At the Mime time, according to Mr. Simmers, ho shoveled the loosp sugar, mixed with dirt, nurnr wood and which was being trampled on the burned pier, into the bagr. TIicm; he removed to his establishment. A short time afterward the state food agents noticed iui advertisement offering sugar for sale. I he advertise ment was inserted by n merchant whose place was near that of the burlap dealer. Investigation proved, Mr. Sim mers said, it was the sugar that had been sold nt the rnte of one cent a pound by the original purchaser of the burlaps. A burlap dealer, has been arrested nnd held in $."00 bail for court. The, law recently enacted which is expected to preclude the possibility of the. usn o,"rots and spots" eggs by bakers, makes it an offense punishable by n minimum fine of $1100" for the baker tn keep bad eggs In his possession. All places opening .the eggs, good or bad. are required to be licensed, and the bad eggs have to be denatured with oil nnd placed in standard barrels marked "Had crr8" across the bodv of the container. The "rots nnd Bpots" nre used in the lenthcr industry, but, nccording to food nuthorities, it has been common prac tice for certain bakers to use them in baking cakes, obtaining them as low as n cent n dozen.
