WAS HINGTON. March 12. -A powerful
n.leriscope Is recommended by the food
harp of the Department of Agriculture
n very useful and desirable attached
-mil.
microscope Is useful In the exsmlna-
r of food and drug product." said B. J.
,nard of the bureau of chemistry. "Of
ours It can be readily understood how
riokh adulteration may be detected by a
simple magnifier, as for Instance when for
ln seeds, travel or powdered rock have
been mixed with whole small spices. The
adulterant may be of such character as
ially to escape the notice of the ordinary
buyer, though with even a small lens or
reading (lass the foreign substsnoe may
be seen to bs very different from the true
spice.
"One case recently brought to the at
tention of the bureau was a sample of
celery seed adulterated with nearly 40 per
cent of powdered rock, the color and size
of the rock particles being such as to be
easily overlooked In a casual examination.
A small magnifier, however, made the dif
ference very apparent at once, as you will
se from the samples which, with other
si mil ax enea, I have mounted as a speol
men. A magnification of only sis dlame
ters shows the- contrast of the regular
shaped celery seeds with the angular rock
particles.
"Tha usefulness of the simple magnifier
In examining food and drug materials.
however, la of limited application, and for
tha examination of products which are
mad up of small particles, such as Tour,
ground sploes and powdered drugs, has
little or no value. In such cases recourse
must be bad to the compound microscope
with a magnifying power ranging from 69
to etM diameter.
"The use of this Instrument In deteotlng
adulteration la various common food
products requires some amount of expert
knowledge, but this Is readily gained with
a little experience. The characteristics of
the different starch products, for Instance.
under tha microscope .are easily learned
1 "To the naked eye all these starches ap
pear as a fine white powder, but under the
mlcroscop grain or granules are seen
which vary more or less In shape, else,
rings, eta In the case of pota'.j starch,
for example, the grains are large with
smooth outlines, while rice starch tiss
srrall grains with angular outlines. Here
Is a specimen of potato staroh adulterated
with a considerable amount of cornstarch.
The grains or the latter are easily dis
tinguished by their angular form.
"In the case of spices, moat of the sub
stances used for adulteration have a struc
ture very different from the genuine
articles. For example, although pepper
adulterated with ground peas or beans may
not always be detected even by means of
tha chemical teat of the expert, especially
when olive pits or pepper sheila have been
added to counteract tha excess of starch
present la peas, the mlcrosoope will reveal
such adulteration at onoe by showing the
presenoe of tha large starch grains char
aoteristlo of certain legumes.
In pepper the starch la present la angu
lar masses made up of small grains. Here
la ft speolmeo of this sort of adulteration
In which th angular masses of pepper are
fatally distinguished from tha nearly
ellipsoidal baaa starch grains.
"It sometimes occurs that ft manufac
turer baa added ao large an amount of
oorn meal or foreign ground , shells and
fruit atone to a pepper aa to make the
adulteration apparent to tho taste by the
lack of pungency, which la often corrected
by adding a small amount of cayenu pep
per. The mlcroscop easily detects a trick
of this kind because the tissues of the
added substances are distinctly different
from normal pepper tissue. Hera Is . a
semple of pepper which Is grossly adul
terated with ground olive atones. In which
the differences In slse and form of the
tissue cells are well exemplified.
"Sometimes oayenna pepper la adul
terated with colored corn flour and ground
r ood. Uere Is a sample of suoh an adult-rant
composed principally of powdered
sawdust, the fibrous character of the wood
differentiating It clearly from tha pepper.
The ndcroscope Is a thoroughly effic
ient detector of adulteration In the cases
of oof fee and ehciolat preparations.
In (he former, roasted chicory, cereals.
and peas, and In the latter starchy mate
rials and cocoa shells are sometimes used
for adulteration.
"Coffee, belrtg the seed of a plant has
a structure which Is very different from
chicory, which Is a root The cell walls
of coffee have a characteristic beaded
appearance which Is present In but few
other seeds. Even after roasting and
grinding these beads can be easily dis
tinguished, whlla chicory contains sap
vessels by which It can bs detected.
"Chooolate and cocoa are ' made from
the seeds of the cocoa plant, to which for
eign starches are sometimes added. From
, the best gradts of these products the
' shells are removed, but In the poorer
grades the shells era left and even addi
tional onea are added. Cocoa beans con
tain naturall a considerable amount
of starch, but tha grains are small In slzs
and are easily distinguished from the
starchy adulterants such as corn, and
wheat flours, or potato, corn, and arrow
root starches. I have examined an art!
flcial chocolate coating which was com
posed of cocoa shells, cornstarch, beef
tallow and some mineral matter, prob
ably used as a coloring substance.

of enr.fectlons sre often thickened with
gelatine, March, ansr-acar, gum traae
ranth and gum arblc Pome of these
are difficult of Identification while others
can be readily detected.
"Aur-iitr is a product made from
certain seaweeds and usually contains
shells of microscopic sea creatures. The
presence of starch la easily discerned.
Oum tragncanth and some other like
guma, when allowed to swell in water,
produce a distinctive structure, which Is
disclosed under the microscope even in
such products as lie cream and marma
lades. Here Is a sample of yilckener for cream
composed of cornstarch and powdered
gum tragacanth. In ahls case the corn-
starch sppears as the angular particles,
while the streaky substsnces near the
center of the field are swollen fragments
of the gum.
"A rsther curious use of the microscope
ss a food detector la In the determination
of the flowera from which honey Is made.
This la of practical value In the analysis
of honeys purporting to be from certain
flowers.
"Although bees will almost Invariably
gather honey from several kinds of flow
ers, sometime one or another of these
predominates to such an extent as to Im
psrt a distinctive color and taste, enough
to allow tha honey to be called by that
name. With the aid of the microscope
It Is easily ascertained whether a so-
called apple blossom honey or an orange
blossom honey la really largely derived
from the source claimed. This result Is
due to the fact that the microscope shows
clearly the different forms of pollen of
the various plants from which the bees
derive the honey."
A striking specimen of food sdulterstlon
In Mr. Howard's collection la an artificial
lemon slice, or rsther, a small portion
thereof, mounted for microscopic pur
poses. The material used for this was
agar-agar, and the instrument revealed
beautifully the curious formations of the
minute diatom shells.

Wife of a Man Wlio Has Fallen Heir
to Riches Wants Court to De
clare Her In.
Mrs. Louis A. A r Hens thinks that a little
of the fortune her husband recently In
herited ought to be spent upon herself.
Neither before nor since the receipt of the
Inheritance, she swears in a petition filed
In district court, has her husband contri
buted to her support.
Arrlens Is a son of the man who estab
lish the flour mill whloh the Updike Oram
company bought some years ago, and the
estate of his mothsr, which he has just
fallen heir to. Includes $16,600 worth of
stock In the Updike Grain company. It la
averred that this a took pays 6 and 7 per
cent. The total wealth which Mrs. Arricns
left Is declared In the petition, which Is
for separate maintenance, to be 160,000.
Mrs. Arrlens say a she lived two years
with her husband after their marriage In
1906, and then because he was drinking
hard and not supporting her, she reft him
for two years. Then Arrlens, the petition
says, promised to quit drinking and to sup
port her, but did not keep his word, ac
cording to the complaint. New Tear's day
of this year. Aniens was feeling especially
active, says tha petition, and Mrs. Arrlens
had to call In the police beoause of threats
he mads against her.

DEAD BEATS TO BE MARKED
Secretaries of Retail Dealers' Asso
ciations of Font State Will
List Them.
Dead beats are going to have a harder
time plying their trade If the retailers of
Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and Illinois
can have their wsy. Preliminary steps
were taken Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the convention of the Federation
of Nebraska Retailers when the secretaries
of the retail organizations of these four
states met at the Rome.
Statistics show that the greatest loss s
retailer suffers Is from thee dead beats,
and they have grown so bad that but tan
grocers in 100 stay In business for ten
years, the other 90 either dying or going to
the wall, the principal cause of failure be
ing bed debts.

TDIS WOMAN RICH ON PAPER
Millions of Real Estate Held in Her
Name.
USE TOR WOMEN AS DUMMIES
the Rides la a Trolley Car Like Other
Stenographers and Owns Prop
erty Only Ten Seconds
at a Time.
NEW TOKK, March 12. '"That girl."
said a real estate broker, nodding toward
a young woman further down In the car,
"has more property In her name than any
other person In Brooklyn. The realty record
ibooks carry her as the possessor of many,
many millions. Some of the biggest par
cels In Brooklyn are held In her name,
"Surprised that she rides In a trolley
car instead of in her own automobile?
Well, this property has all been sold. In
fact she has rarely owned any piece of It
more than ten seconds Just while she vis
receiving a deed in on hand and giving
a deed with the other.
"She is the chief stenographer In th
office of a big title Insurance company. A
buys a piece of real estate from B, but
does not want the publlo to know of his
ownership. B makes a deed to our sten
ographer friend. She makes a deed for the
same property with the nam of th buyer
left out A gives her the deed B has mad
and she gives him the deed In blank.
The deed to th girl goes on record,
the title company Issues to her a policy
of till Insurance, and she Is, publicly the
owner of th property. But A has her
deed, legally exeouted, and th insursnce
policy. When he gets ready to sell, maybe
years hence, be merely puts In the name of
the buyer and has th deed recorded. A
lias never appeared as the owner.
"Th city Is satisfied so long ss th
tsxes and assessments are paid on the
property and does not Interest Itself In the
ownership. If A wants to give a mort
gage on the property lie can do that
through another woman dummy without
his name ever appearing. ,
"Why do they have a woman to do the
trick? A woman can convey realty with
out any one's consent, whether she is mar
rlcd or single, but there la even less room
for complications when th woman Is sin
gle. A man roust have his wife's concur
rence. If a single man gave such a deed
he might get married and there would be
the possibility that his wife might try to
get her dower Interest Our stenographer
friend's husband. If she ever takes one,
can claim no such Interest In her estate.
"Danger that ah might give another
deed and beat A out of bis property? Not
a bit. Such a' trick would land her In
Sing Sing and the deed she gave would
be worthless. It would have to be dated
th day it was mad and A's prior deed
would hold the property. Of course, A has
to keep his deed In a safe place, for If It
were lost or destroyed he might have
trouble In getting another, but he would
not be likely to ldBe hs property. Thou
sands of real estate owners take the
chance.
'Why do people want to hide their real
estate holdings? Suppose a buyer Is after
all the property In a block. He gets on
piece. If th deed la recorded In his name
It might Indicate to th other owners In
tha block that he would be likely to want
their holdings, too. Then prices would soar
and he'd have to pay dearly for the rest
of the block. Sometimes years ar con
sumed and a dozen brokers and female
dummies are used, to get a single parcel
together.
'Then there are not a few men who
want to be In position to sell their real es
tate without asking their wives' consent
By the use of a female dummy the wife
is eliminated, for the husband never owns
the property, though he holds the deed
and controls it Some wives never know
that their husbands buy and sell real es
tate. "Not fair for the wife? Well, I don't
know about that. Recently a client of
mine had a chance to maka a quick sal
at a big profit His wife was In Europe
and he missed the sale because he oould
not get her signature. Another client who
had had a little spat with his wife was
compelled to give her $1,000 worth of dia
monds to induce her to sign a deed.
"Business men often have to make sales
quickly or lose big profit They cannot
afford to take chances with the whims
of a wife, who, no matter how lovable,
may be out of sorts or bit obstinate on
the day th transfer Is to be made. I
have known wives to demand elaborate de
tails of a sale and -then talis a week to
think It over.
"Any other uses for the woman dummy?
Sure. Wall street Is not the only place
where wash sales are made. Suppose
realty is moving slowly and sales are few
In a section Ilk that about the new
Pennsylvania terminal or along the new
subway In Brooklyn, where there ought to
be activity. Nothing brings In new buyers
like sales.
"Suppose half a doaen brokers, each with
property to sell In th same seotlon, get
together and decide to maka things hum.
They go to their principals and arrange,
say, fifty big transfers to take place within
a single month. By means of women dum
mies thee sales are all made, duly reo
orded and published.
vvnen ins transaction is closed not a
cent has changed bands and not a piece of
property has been out of the possession of
Its original owner. But the public has
heard of brisk selling In thai particular
section and begins to flock In. Then prices
go up. Fraud? You can call It what you
please. It Isn't Illegal.
When you want what you want when
you want It say so through Th Bee Want
