The quarterly meeting last night at Metro.
politan Church parlor was we'll attended. A
comparative showing was made from Mr..
Warmers report, as treasurer, together with
other reports from officers aud visitors, that
efIectual and systematic work was done 10 the
relief OF several hundred cases. In no case
was aid refused, while In many instances
many poor were sought for who, from pride,
perhaps, would not apply, and quietly they
were benefited. In this manner, In monetary
disbursements alone, the amount taking Mr..

more month. new ofllce for this sub.

thom to appoint inspectors analysts, and
agents for enforcing It's provisions. The at
tention Of the board has recently been given
specially to the adulteration Of milk. Samuel
W. Abbott Of Boston, health officer says:
$50 far as we have progressed we find that
adulteration Of milk is carried to It's extreme
in Boston and Chelsea Our first collections
in those cities showed that 10 per cent Of the
samples obtained wero either skinned, dilut-
cd or otherwise adulterated. Tho best results
were obtained from samples collected at Wor-
coster and Lawrence
"The law Of 1882 was subjected TO thor
ough discussion by the legislature Of 1888, the
principal opposition coming from wholesale
manufacturers Of spices, cream Of tartar vim
egar and other groceries. The action Of the
Legislature, however, resulted in strengthen
ing the statute by furnishing an increased APP
preparation and requiring the prosecution Of
offenders, provision which the law Of 1882
did not contain. II was also specially provid-
cd that at least two fifths of the nppropria-
ton should be expended in enforcing the milk
laws. This we hre endeavoring to do, for we
are convinced not only that milk is one of the
most important Of all articles used as food,
but also that It is most extensively tempered
with. A careful perusal of tho laws Of 1882
and 1888 will show that they arc broad and
comprehensive in their application, and we
have had no difficulty in obtaining oonvio-
tions under these statutes. Thus far each
prosecution has resulted in conviction"

AduIterated Foo,I..

We should have a moro effective law in this
state for Furnishing the fraudulent manufae-
ture or sale of adulterated articles of food.
The law as it now stands provides penalty
for selling unwholesome meat or provisions,
for fraudulently adulterating for purpose of
sale any substance intended for food or drink
with a substance injurious to health, and for
traudulenty adulterating for the purpose of
sale any drug or medicine so as to render il
injurious to health, or for selling the same
knowing it to be injurious to health. The
limit of the penalties for these offences is a
fine of from $500 to $500, or Imprisonment
in tho state prison from six months to two
years. There are very few instances where
any attempt has been made to enforce this
law, and convictions under it, except for sell
ing diseased or unwholesomo meat, would be
difficult to obtain. The Law is defective in
several respects, but principally in that it
makes it the special business of no one to look
after and prosecute such offences In Massa-
ohusetts the legislature Of 1882 passed a strin-
gent act against the adulteration of articles of
food, and charged the state board Of health
with the execution of the law, authorizing

questionable whether it is advisable to pillow

its loss if no crop is growing, would not the

A newspaper correspondent describes a
condition of things in the town of Chester
which applies equally well to some Of the
towns in this county. He says; This COM
muni;y is infested with a company of specu-
lators who purchase any farm which has a
good wood lot, slash down the timber and
wood to sell for lumber, chair stun aud fire
wood, and then piece out or trade the farm
for another that has a good wood lot to be
stripped in the same way. Thus the quality
of the farms stripped is doterioratod, and the
vicinity suffers by having the timber land
diminished so as not to retain the rain water
or to break the sweep of the winds"

A little .frotd in the milk is not 80 serious
matter as tho types made friend Fitch Of Will
mington aver A little fH1 in the milk is

and taste Of COW manure is evidently the kind
that Mr.. Fitch meant to describe. It is of
course impossible to make good butter from
such milk, but we believe that Wilmington
would have as small proportion of that kind
Gs any other town. The best Of butter should
come from the town OF Wilmington, noted
for her sweet grasses and the enterprise in
