CREAM OF TARTAR. 



In March the inspector purchased bulk cream of tartar in 

 Portland and Saco, calling in each case for a quarter of a pound. 

 Each package was carefully weighed upon its receipt at the 

 Station before the moisture could change, and was afterwards 

 analyzed. No. 8820 was sold as a compound and it was marked 

 "compound" on the package. Nos. 8823 and 8825 wer: inves- 

 tigated and it was found that these samples were purchased in 

 bakeries, that the compounds had been purchased by the pro- 

 prietors as such, and were for use on the preiTiises, that it was 

 not kept for sale but had been sold .occasionally to accommodate 

 a customer. These facts were well established and the cases 

 were dropped. In No. 8829, where short weight was given, the 

 case was dropped after a warning. Nos. 8159 and 8284 were 

 sent in by correspondents and tlic complete analysis was not 

 made.
