During the course of being cross-oxamined by Mfr. d'Almada, witness said that he had requested mustard and not mustard condi- ment.
Mr. d'Almada: What is the dif-
ference between mustard and mustard condiment?
!!
Witness: Mustard is the pure stuff obtained from the ground mustard seed, and condiment is a label prepared and sold with stating that it is mustard condi-
ment,
Answering a further question witness said he could not tell ex- actly what the difference was bereet: tween mustard and mustard con- diment, but he thought there was an' appreciable difference.
MF. E. R. Dovoy said that the mustard contained 80 per cent starchy matter. Mustard, he said, was the seed of the mustard plant ground into poyder. There was no standard. laid down except that it had to be 100 per cent.

Purely A Fraud, Witness: It was usually con- sidered that starch would keep in gpot condition, but that is an obsolete idea now. It is no longer regarded necessary, but it is still put in by some makers.
It was witness' opinion that 25 to 30 per cent starch was put in purely as a fraud, to make a chea- per mixture.
