New York. July 20.-The Times
says: Within the past few days the
state board of health, through Its san
itary committee. has taken step which
will be likely in due time TO produce no
little commotion.
Inspectors ..haye been appointed to
collect and analyze samples Of butter,
beer, baking powders, baker chemicals,
cocoa, cordials, canned food 'confec-
tions, cereals, cheese, meat extracts,
fish, and fish extracts, fruit essences,
ether, gelatine, honey, ice cream, milk,
molasses, lard oil, olen oil, quinine,
sugar, syrups, soda water, spices, spir-
its, tea, wine. and all pharmaceutical
preparations.
The object OF this analysis is to carry
into execution the law enacted by the
legislature at the present session. "To
prevent adulteration Of food and
drugs"
Judging from similar movements
already made in this and other states,
startling results can be looked for from
these examinations. F

Washington, July 2O.-"he Is GER
tainly going to get well" Ihat was
the very confident declaration maze py
Dr. Bliss about sundown. His physl-
clans are not willing to put any such
confident declaration in their bullet
ms and within "a hours they have
said they could not safely predict the
wound would not terminate fatally.
The doctor seems to have one Language
for the public and another for private
persons, but the confidence Of the people
in the recovery of the president, which
has existed for week, has not been
shaken.
The president sat up 20 minutes yes
terday. 1t was found that the pain in
his back had disappeared, but curious,
and some think it suspicious, pains
continue in the legs and feet. The
reason why the word suspicious" is
attached to these pains by some of the
physicians is, that there is a remote
fear that the president, after his re-
covery, may be weak in his legs. He
seems himself apprehensive of that, as
lie has frequently asked his attendants
what they thought about 1t and ex-
pressed the earnest wish to be able to
stand up to see whether or not his legs
would still remain his servants. The
first sensation when the bullet struck
him was that his knees gave way. He
seems to have retained that sensation
ever since and still fears his knees may
give NAV.
