Whisky and syrup were the subjects discussed by the Na tional Convention of Food and Dairy Commissioners today. R. C.

Mr. Stowell said that after the whisky was placed In bond It was exactly what It was represented to be as to purity, but after the barrel was opened by the retailer It was not safe to say whether it was pure or not He said the distillers would like to hav a law passed preventing adulteration, and would like to have the Federal Govern ment pass a law requiring the bottling of liquor and pass It through bond In that shape, and by it guarantee such purity. 'Dr. Wagner's talk was on "Corn Prod ucts," and It was a defense of glucose particularly corn syrup. He said that cane and sorghum syrups did not supply one-fifth of the demand, and therefore corn syrup was the necessary substitute.
