It seems that, if a sample of catsup can be kept under those circum- 

 stances, it would be safe to say that a chemical preservative is not 

 necessary in tomato catsup. 



Four samples of catsup were examined. Three samples contained 

 benzoates, one contained no preservative and one was adulterated with 

 coal-tar dye.

Cooking oils are usually highly refined cotton-seed oils, and are not 

 much adulterated. Some of the cooking oils are very desirable for 

 such purposes. 



Six samples of oil were examined. They were as represented, and 

 no adulteration was found.
