ADULTERATION OF FOOD.

The Blu Passed by the Unites States Sem
ate to Provide for the Inspection oil
Meats and Prohibiting the Importation
of Adulterated Articles of Food o
Drinks.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The oil which
passed the Senate yesterday to provide
for an inspection of meats and prob ibit-
ing the importation of adulterated arti-
cles of food or drinks contains provis ion
authorizing the President whenever he is
satisfied that there is good reason to
believe that any Importation is
being made, or is about to
be made into the United States
from any foreign country of any article
used for human food or drink that is
adulterated to any extent dangerous to
the health or welfare of the people of the
United States, to issue a proclamation
suspending the Importation of such arti-
cles for such portion of time as he may
think necessary. Another section pro-
vides that whenever the President
shall be satisfied that unjust dis
examinations are made by or un.
der the authority of any foreign
State against the impor tation to Or sale
in such foreign state of any product o.
the United States, he may direct that
such products shall be excluded from i'm.
portation to the United States.

Care of Livestock.

1t is to be regretted that there are
20 be found among those who call
themselves farmers SO many cases in
which there is apparent neglect in
the care of animals, which presents
itself with much greater force during
period of severe weather such as
has been experienced during the past
winter 1t is downright cruelty to
animals to allow them to remain out
of-doors exposed to the freezing blasts,
when shelter may as well be provided.
Given a sufficient number of animals
that are exposed during the winter, if
they are fed proportionate to the
increased demand for food to provide
suitable animal heat, and the in
crease quantity of food consumed
would go very far toward the erection
of all buildings necessary for the
storing of fodder and the proper pro-
lection of the animals themselves.
Then add to this the value of ami
mails that perish for want of such pro-
lection, and it would take but few
years at most to secure buildings by
means of the losses sustained. Farm
ers should take humanitarian view
of the question, and then act with a
view to the comfort of animals rather
than from any false views of economy
by a failure to erect suitable farm
buildings. st Paul Pioneer-Press

The Treatment Adopted for This Com-

The Treatment Adopted for This Conn
paratively New Disease.
Of the cases of heart disease recent
" treated in the writer's room at the
dispensary. nine were diagnosticated
as functional disorders due to the ex-
cessive use of tobacco. ALI the nine
cases occurred in young men between
the ages of seventeen and twenty-sev-
en- years.
The tobacco was used in all the cases
in the form of chewing. the amount
ranging from half pound to a
pound a week. The habit Of chewing
was begun early in life in all the
cases; in one case at the age OF five
years; the oldest age noted at which
chewing was begun was twelve years;
the average was seven years.
The symptoms complained of were
palpitation. pain and dyspnea. Pal
pitation was present in all of the nine
cases, and was greatest upon making
any exertion. Irregular action of the
heart at the time of the examina alton
was noted in only one case. Pain was
complained of in seven cases. and
always udu us seat lmm6Ulately over
the heart or under the sternum. Dysp-
n@a was complained of in only
three cases. and was not excessive.
Hypertrophy of the heart as evidenced
by increased area or cardiac dullness
was noted in two instances. In both
cases the dullness extended to the right
edge of the sternum In the two cases
in which hypertrophy had occurred,
care was taken to exclu de any other
cause than tobacco. No murmurs
were noted in any of the nine cases
Treatment consisted in prescribing
total abstinence from the use of to-
bacco, and in some cases, where this
alone did not suffice, the moderate use
of bromide of potassium. Notwith-
standing the great length of time dur
ing which tobacco had been used, and
the early age at which the use had
been commenced. this simple, COM
nonsense treatment usually sufficed
to give entire relief after three or four
weeks. In only one case was digitalis
used. -Medicat and Surgical Reporter.

why the remark of the wise man should

does, and as you appear to be in the
lofty mood fitted for the appreciation
and absorption of wise remarks,

The Power of Hereditary.

Is virtue hereditary? Is a love of
truth. justice and goodness transmit
ted from parents to childrenp Facts
appear to answer these questions in
the affirmative. In England it has
been ascertained that out of one hum
dred criminal children. sixty were
born of dishonest parents; thirty OF
parents who were profligate, but not
criminal; and only ten of parents who
were honest and industrious. The
rule is, virtuous parents raise virtuous
children. Not more than one out of
every ten criminals has been born of
honest, religious parents The
characters of parents and children are
nearly as much alike as their features.
