To the performance of the above work the sub-laboratories have 
contributed a fair share, and have already demonstrated the advantage 
of localization. That situated at Halifax has been in commission 
since December, 1914, in charge of Mr. C. C. Forward, with Mr. 
A. J. Landry as assistant since August, 1915. The Winnipeg sub- 
laboratory has been working since April, 1915, with Mr. E. L. C. 
Forster in charge. Mr. W. A. Davidson was sent out as assistant in 
“September of that year. At Vancouver, Mr. J. A. Dawson is in charge 
since February, 1915, with Mr. P. T. Kirwan as assistant from August 
of that year. With exception of the Winnipeg sub-laboratory, which 
is established in the Post-Office building at corner of Main and Magnus 
streets, the present accommodation of these sub-laboratories must 
be regarded as temporary. Arrangements have been made at Van- 
couver for rooms in the projected new Post Office; but building oper- 
ations are not as yet begun. 
The published work above referred to furnishes as full an 
account as possible of the particular classes of foods, drugs, etc., 
named, so far as Canadian markets are concerned ; and the Depart- 
ment seeks to secure the widest possible circulation of these reports. 
It is pleasing to note that the public press of Canada shows a con- 
stantly increasing readiness to publish abstracts from. our reports, 
and to comment editorially upon them. In this way our work is 
coming to be widely known not only to manufacturers and dealers, 
but to the reading public at large. The Acts named have been 
created in the interest, primarily, of the consumer and user of foods, 
drugs, fertilizers, cattle feeds, etc.; and it is desirable that the public 
should be made aware of the manner in which they are administered. 
With this in view, an effort is made to present the results of analysis 
in a manner as little technical as possible, while at the same time 
furnishing the data upon which the judgment of the Chief Analyst 
is based.
