 stances. It also provides that they must not contain poisonous color 

 or flavor, or other ingredients deleterious to health. 



Only four samples were examined, all of which were simple prod- 

 ucts, and no adulteration was found, though they all contained 

 glucose. 



Sample No. 6471 was not labeled according to requirements, and 



its sale was illegal. 



TION OF CONFECTIONERY. 



Besides the adulterants found in preserves,* as jam is cooked to 

 a pulp, other and cheaper fruits than the one specified are often used 

 to adulterate it. 



If jam contains anything other than fruit and cane sugar (sucrose), 

 with or without spices, the fact must be indicated on the label by 

 either naming the ingredients or labeling it "Imitation" or ''Com- 

 pound." 



Ten samples of jam were examined, and a chemical preservative 

 was found in only two samples, ISTos. 6496 and 6502, manufactured 

 by Curtis Bros. Company. They contained benzoate.
