LINCOLN, July 12. (Special.) Th fol
lowing statement to Nebraska consumers
of vinegar has been Issued by th Ne
braska Food commission:
Fraud In the sale of vinegar In Nebraska
consists largely In the sale of vinegar artl-
nciaiiy colored so aa to look line ciaer
VlneRar.
Many merchants buy thla artificially
colored vinegar as elder vinegar at a elder
vlnecar price and sell it to their customers
aa cider vinegar.
The lawa of the state forbid the sale of
any vinegar artificially colored and any
erson selling or aaving in possession, wun
ntent to sell such vinegar. Is liable to
fine of from $50 to $100 and costs of prosecu
tion. The consumption of vinegar Is so great
that It Is not possible to supply the de
mand with cider vinegar, hence It la neces
sary that other kinds be used. There seems
to be a nreturilce on the part of many peo
ple against the use of distilled, uncolored
vinegar, believing It to be unwholesome
Such Is not the case and In order that con
sumers may properly understand this mat
ter the following statement Is published for
tne oenent or tne people or tne state, as
authority for this statement In regard to
vinegar and Ita essential part, acetic acid,
the food commission refers by permission
to H. H. Nicholson, professor of chemistry.
State university; Miss Rosa Bouton, pro
fessor of domestic science. State university,
and J. M. Nelson, chemist, Nebraska Food
commission.
All vinegar results from the acetic fer
mentation of alcoholic llaulds. The essen
tlal Dart of any vinegar Is the acetic acid
which It contains. The acetic acid comes
from the fermentation of the alcohol. Alco
hol ta the same whether it comes from
corn or apples, grain or fruit, and when
subjected to the same kind of fermentation
It will change into the same acetic acid.
Therefore the acetic acid of distilled vine
gar is the same aa the acetic acid of cider
vinegar or malt vinegar and for all prac
tical and domestic purposes distilled vine'
gar la Just aa good as cider or malt vine
gar. Distilled or white win vinegar Is ob
tained by distilling off the akrohol from
the fermented wort from gralna such as
corn and rye. This kind of vinegar la color-
lesa and contains no substances Injurious
to neaitn.
Cider vinegar Is derived from the Juice of
apples by allowing the sugar and starch of
the apple to change Into alcohol and sub
jecting it to acetlo fermentation. Cider
vinegar has a color varying from pale yel
low to a oeep rea.
Malt vlnea-ar is made from the acetlo fer
mentation of the wort from barley, corn or
rye. It differs from distilled vlneaar In
that the alcohol is not distilled off before
It is cnanged into acetic acid.
Thla vlneaar has a color varrlnr from red
to brown and a peculiar malt-like odor.

CHICAGO, 111., July 12. A petition was
handed to Secretary Btons of tha Board
of Trade, asking that a "margined price"
be Sxed on July corn, which has been cor
nered by a party headed by John W.
Gates. The meaning of ths petition -,1s
that the directors proceed to fix a fair
price for corn, based on the selling pries
of the cereal In marketa where the supply
la not manipulated.
Such a atep, It le eald, haa not been tskei
in twenty years, although the rules pro
vide tor such action. Brokers generally,
are quoted as being opposed to ths peti
tion. Manager Scotten of Harris, Gates Co.
said: "Its a nice Idea; If they win. all
right; It they lose they act the baby. What
we have done with corn hurts no one whi
had made legitimate trades. People wh
have sold us corn can get ths money whsi
they deliver the goods. If a lot of fellowt
have aold wind let them take the con
sequences." The market for July corn was dull to
day. Scales were between 8fo and lo eat
the close waa at 86c.
