It reminds me of the gum that comes off of the peach-tree ; it is rich, and perhaps to a certain extent nutritious. The way the factories are run now there is no method of producing a low-priced glucose that is fit for food. It is a cheat and a swindle, and a danger to human health and human life. Prof. Cook once said there was no legitimate use for the product of the glucose factory—that it was only used to swindle. Mr. Stilson—I would like to say one word in regard to the tests. I saw a test made at our State University a couple of years ago upon some samples that I took there for analysis. The professor took a glass and poured the glucose into it and then mixt it with alcohol. Whether he mixt anything else with it I can't say. He stirred it up for about half its depth until it became milky, leaving the lower part without stirring, and then poured more alcohol on top, and in a few minutes it began to turn as if there was a cyclone in it. When it began to settle and clear that milky part didn't settle. It simply showed a fermentation. Whether there was anything else mixt with the alcohol or not I have forgotten. E. R. Root—Pure alcohol will do that. Alcohol won't touch pure honey at all. Mr. Danzenbaker—There is a good deal of glucose sold as "Silver ; I noticed in a family where I was once that the children preferred Porto Rico molasses ; when they wanted molasses they would ask for black molasses. Any one who would eat that " Silver Drip " for a week would have his taste for honey destroyed ; I don't believe he would ever want any honey. The greatest harm that comes to the honey-pro- ducer from it is that it weans people away from pure honey. They think they have been using honey, and never want to buy any more of It. T. R.
