PURE MILK AND MEAT.
All Alameda County Health
Officials Anxious to In.
sure Both.
At Present They Are Condemned and
Afterward Exposed for
Human Food.
OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN Francisco CALL, }
COS Broadway, Nov. 10.


The selling of diseased meat and the
supplying of impure milk have aroused
all the sanitary district officials in Ala
media County, and Monday next they will
go before the Supervisors and ask that
their powers be largely increased.
At present the various health officers
and sanitary inspectors have only the
power to condemn COW that is diseased
and order it removed from the rest of
the herd, but they cannot destroy it. The
power to kill and destroy is what they ask,
and what they claim, is imperative if the
consumers are to be protected. The same
authority will be sought in regard to CLAN
derous horses.
For long time the efforts of the inspec-
tors to stamp out diseased animals have
been thwarted in various ways. In some
instances the cows have been removed
from one dairy to another, and frequently
after the diseased cows have been slaught-
cred the carcasses have been sold to I'M
principled butchers and placed on the
market as food. In one instance a
glanderous horse was known to be taken
out to a chicken ranch and there chopped
up and fed to the stock that was being
fattened for the market.
Inspector Pierce of this city has recently
made several arrests OF butchers offering
for sale meat unfit for human consum o.
ton, and in two cases the carcasses were
declared to be those of diseased cows that
had been condemned by Health Inspector
Carpenter of Alameda.
"All the influence that can possibly be
brought to bear on the Supervisors, said
DR.. Carpenter to-day, twill be brought to
induce them to pass an ordinance that
shall protect every body. At present we
condemn a COW and oder it to be taken
some secluded spot and slaughtered for
market. We must have the power to de-
stroy all diseased cattle, and the county
should provide for some small compensa-
ton for the owner. The danger of selling
milk that is not up to the standard as re-
CARDS cream is as nothing to the danger
that exists from milking cows that are suf-
fering from tuberculosis. DR.. Mclean,
Health Officer of Alameda, is working
with us and there Is every prospect that
our efforts will be rewarded.
an Alameda every cow is inspected
twice year, and if there is any evidence
of tuberculosis the animal is at once
ordered away. But if it is going to be
gained. 1t is of far more importance to
inspect the cows than to sample the milk.
ALI dairies in the country should be in
spected every six months, and that is what
we are working for"
Supervisor Talbot is .the largest dairy
owner in the county, and he has already
said that he would do anything in his
power to help the veterinary inspectors in
their campaign.

IGNORANCE OF MAN"
Professor T. r. Bacon's Lecture to the
Unity Club.

Professor T. r. Bacon's Lecture to the
Unity Club.
"When you leave the church you will
probably think you are going in some
particular direction, doubtless to your re-
spective homes. The truth is you are
going in an unascertainabie direction at an
inconceivable rate OF speed, and, indeed,
you cannot be sure you are going any,
where" said Professor T. r. Bacon in the
course of his lecture on "The Ignorance of
Man" at the Second Unitarian Church last
evening.
His claim was that people were gov
erned by impressions which, received
through the senses as they are, are incom-
plete, therefore erroneous, and that lives
are spent in correcting those impressions
through experience.
Trusting to your sense of sight you
would conclude" said he, ''that the rails
finally come together. Experience has
taught you that this Is not true. Again
the impressions received through one
of the senses may be proven
far from correct by the others.
For instance, the universe is to the blind
man different from the conception we
nave gained of it. 1t is not to the man in
full possession of the five senses what it is
to the man who has control of but three,
ard the man in whom the sixth sense may
be highly developed regards 1t from yet
another point of view.
1--WE know nothing about things in their
essential nature, only as they are in rela-
ton to ourselves. Yet mere knowledge by
RELATIVELY is not invalidated, nor is it USE
less. Still it is not true.

believe in idealism, because it appeals TO
my emotions and imagination, and that is
the only reason for belief in many theo-
ries.
There is a great deal of nonsense in the
alleged search after truth. and We don't
know quarter we think we do"

THE LAW VALID.
The Attorney General Of Texas Gives
an Opinion Which May Prevent
the Corbett-FitzsimmOnS Fight
Taking Place in That State.

Austin Tex. July 14.-Attorney Gen
cral Crane has given out his opinion in
the observation-disclosures fight case at
Dallas, in October.
The opinion was in reply TO an inquiry
from the Dallas county attorneys as TO
whether the law enacted in 1891, prohib-
hibiting prize fighting, was valid and
operative Ii was held by some of the
best lawyers in the State that the law
was invalid and imperative, because it
denounces the Offense as felony and
afiXes thereto the punishment Of a mis-
demeanor, and further because the act
was so indefinitely framed and is of
such doubtful construction, considered
either by itself or in connection with the
other provisions Of the WOrten law,
that il cannot be understood.
The Attorney General, in his opinion
to-day. takes the opposite view. He
holds that the law Of 1891 was and still
is operative. The Attorney General
contends:
THAT according to the contention Of
those who believe that the statute
against prize fighting is void on ac-
count of its declaration that the crime
is q felony. but that punishment as a
misdemeanor is applied thereto, the
statute would be perfect if the word
'misdemeanor' could be substituted for
the word felony
Following the doctrine announced
i'm one of our court decisions, namely:
That the intention frequently controls
the express language in the consruc-
ton of statutes. the Court was at per-
feet liberty TO eliminate that word fell
ony.' if such elimination were neces-
sary TO give effect to the legal legisla-
tive intent 1t is plain that the Court
believed that the intention of the legis-
lature was TO prohibit prize fighting.
If the Court further believed that the
fact that the legislature affixed the
punishment of a misdemeanor to the
ofense Of prize fighting, and the word
felony was inserted by mistake, it was
at perfect liberty to disregard that word
in the construction of the statute.
This law being valid. it is the duty
of the Sheriff of Dallas county to see
that il is enforced He is the authority,
and we will look TO him to see that the
law is enforced
