adulteration is expected in this class of goods except clicrnical pre- 

 servatives and objectionable coloring matter, both of which are very 

 unnecessary, as there seems to be no question but that such drinks can 

 be put up and kept in good condition without antiseptics, and there 

 is no good reason for the use of foreign chemicals in them.

 made. Most of them, however, are artificial products and contain no 

 fruit juice at all. 



Within the past year 91 samples of this class of beverages have 

 been sent to the Department by local dealers, city officials and others, 

 for the determination of alcohol and adulterants. 



Of these samples 32 were adulterated with either a chemical pre- 

 servative or a coal-tar dye, and 65 of them contained alcohol varying 

 in amounts from 0.3 per cent to 12 per cent.
