FOOD ADULTERATION.

The subject of food sdulteration is
occupying much attention in these later
days. Az chemical and medical know
ledge advances, the subject is better
understood, the deleterious effects of
adulteration are better known and the
prevalent diseases or tendencies to
disease are more clearly traceable to the
poisons or non-assimilable in the pre-
pared food we buy. The tendency of
legislation is toward the protection of
our food supply from the cupiditY of
those who for pay will slo WY but surely
poison their neighbors. Stricter laws
are being enacted, with severe penalties,
but nowhere has the administrative
power been supplied with adequate ma
ohinery to break up the various methods
by which adulSeratcd and deleteriou
food compounds are sold. Probably IN this
country, owing to our greater liberty and
dis position to let private business be I'M
hampered by police reg ulation as much as
possible, there is more harmful adulter
alton of food than elsewhere. Probably
the farthest advance has been made in
France. There is in Paris an institution
of very systametic character designed
to detect adulteration in food and drink,
and the penalties for such practices are
so severe as to make the scrutiny of the
officials veay unpopular with the dealers
The city ic divided into twenty districts,
each with its inspector under direction of
the central bureau. These agents go over
their respective territory each week, and
can enter any shop or store and look over
all the goods. If suspicion attaches TO
any article, it is at once seized. part
of it is taken to the laboratory and the
rest left with the shopman to prevent
substitution. If the analysis verities the
suspicion, the pubic prosecutor takes the
case and criminal proceedings are had.
ANY purchaser who buys an article and
thinks it is aduiterated, may take it to the
officials, who will institute investigation.
The inspectors are kept active. Among
the penalties attached to fragrant
offenses is the loss of civil rights, as well
as fines. One of the chief articles of
sdulteration is wine. 1t has been sup
posed that they shipped all the bogus
stuff to this country, and drank the
genuine themselves, but the inspectors
find great deal made of spoiled raisins,
or a dilution of vile alcohol with color
ing matter. Adulterstion is found in
milk, butter, tea, sugar and nearly all
staple articles, just as in this country
Such inspectors with powers more or less
extensive are being introduced into this
country. The subject has not yet received
adequate consideration. But as civil
cation advances, the importance of pro
xiding adequate protection is more and
more manifest. The time will come
when the tradesman or manufacturer
who puts in any unhealthy ingredients
in the articles of human food he Pre-
-,ares for sale will be a criminal and pun
shed accord 'ngly.

HIGH LICENSE IN BALTIMORE,

1t is Claimed That if the Law is Enforced
Every Low GroggerY in the City Can be
Shut Up.
Baltimore Tribune
The high license movement is makiBg
progress. Five prominent citizens COM
prise a committee to formulate a plan of
organization SO that the legislative dis
tricts of the city and throughout the state
can be canvassed to learn the sentiment
of the people in the matter. There is no
doubt about the feeling in Baltimore, re-
CARELESS of politics. In a population Of
nearly 500 900 there are now 900 saloons.
two thirds of the number being low grog
geries, which get the best part of the
earnings OF the large colored population.
It is rumored that the democratic ling
which generally controls the Legislature,
while not only antagonizlng the bill, still
smother IL III committee, or in some man
new prevent its becoming q law. The
men, however, who are at the head of
the license movement, will endeavor TO
have men nominated from the city dis
tricts that will favor the bill. The com
mittee on organization will favor the
creation Of q court or commission to
which every applicant for license must
send his name or the names of his back
ers. These names and the proposed 10
cation of the saloon will then be publish
ed, SO that the public may wisely direct the
court In the granting or refusal OF the
license. Cardinal Gibbons, Bishop Paret
of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of
Maryland, the Judges of the courts, and
many other prominent people in relig-
ious and BUSINESS circles, have Endorsed
the movement. It has been suggested by
one member of the committee that the
license fee be fixed at $1,000.
The Staye Temperance Alliance, which
is controlled by the third party people,
has adopted resolutions which, after de-
claring that high license is vicious in
principal and powerless as a remedy for
the liquor evil, approved, aside from the
license features, the efforts to restrict the
liquor traffic contemplated in thu new
movement. This is a departure from
their hitherto bitter opposition to license
in any form. William Daniel, who was
on the presidential prohibition ticket
with 81. John, has caused a stir in tenn
perance circles by discovering an old
Maryland law which embodies the pro-
hibitory features of the Brooks law in
Pennsylvania. It is still on the statute
books, aro provides that Judge shall
not issue g license TO any man who has
been setepced by grand jury.

sand We can close up every low groggery

The high-license movement is taking
hold in the counties as we'll as the cities.
The farmers of Garrison, Forest Grange
aud Baltimore counties have passed a
resolution favoring the passage of high
license Law, in order that the country may
derive a revenue from the tax on the sale

A Question Of Street Etiquette.

"The question is often put TO me-" said
lady whose opinion in matters of ETH
quette is wholly competent, "whether it is
permissible to take young lady's arm in
acting as her escort on promenade after
nightfall. Unhesitatingly and peremp-
torily, no. Not after nIghtfall, nor by
daylight, nor at any other time. An in
valid may lean upon young woman's
arm; grandfather, if he is inarm, may
avail himself of similar support, and a
Broadway policeman seems to have DC
quired the right to piopel his charges in
petticoats across that thorough fare by a
grasp upon the arm, but these are the
only male persons so privileged. For an
acquaintance, friend, or one who
as pir-s to still nearer place, to take
the arm of young woman when
walking with her on pubic highway Is
inexcu sable. You may b. sure nothing
will go quickly offend her good taste, al
though she may lack the social skill to
resent and avoid it. And the spectacle
in itself is most unpleasing. To see a
young woman pushed along, little in
front of her escort, by the clutch upon
her arm is neither suitable or picturesque.
It reverses all preconceived ideas of gal
laatary. The fair should lean upon the
brave. Virile strength ought ever to
support feminine freilness. Offer her
your arm, young man, every time, and
never under any circumstances commit
the familiarity and offense of taking
hers"
