cnt.
CHICAGO, Jan. Is. Representatives
Of the dairy associations OF nearly 90
states and members from the produce
and mercantile boards of trade from
the principal cities were present yes
tcrday evening at the opening session
ut the Sherman house Of the third
annual convention Of the National

margarine and filed cheese. Ex-Gov.
Heard, president Of the unioa, then
delivered q brief address. The senti.
ment of the country, he said, was
pronounced against the adultera-
ton OF foods. 1t might be laid
down rs settled principle that the
honest food Of the country had q right
to the market as against the counter
felt; in the interest OF the people
and inside from the fact that
every pound Of spurious goods
sold, deprived the farmer OF
that much market. It was q matter OF
congratulation that in no less than
90 states there was stringent legisla-
ton against the adulteration OF food

CRITICISED THE SCHOOLS.

A Kansas City Minister Dcnounces Minis

ings.
KANSAS CITY, NO., Jan. l4.-Rev. j.
D. Welty, pastor Of the Fourth Prcsby.
terrain church, read paper before the
Ministers alliance yesterday on "Thc
Social Purity Movement" expressing
the opinion that social impurity was
everywhere on the increase, especially
in this country. He severely criticised
the public schools for failing to
teach the children q stronger NOR
atty. The teachers, he said, should
talk plainly to the boys and girls up
on the subjects that were, unfortu-
nately, usually avoided. Says DIR.
Welty: LET anyone send q boy to
school, and that boy will learn TO lie
and steal before hc learns to read. +"
Boys learn vice from many sources, he
said; from literature, evil associates,
and, most deplorable OF all. bitter per-
sonal experience. DR.. welty was
strong In denunciation Of the ministers
Of the gospel for willfully avoiding
any discussion OF social evils in their
pulpits. Ignorance was the handmade
Of vice, he said, and it is necessary TO
place the safeguard OF knowledge
around the young. One Of of the rem.
edes suggested by the speaker against
the spread and propagation Of social
impurity was the enactment Of stricter
marriage laws. divorce Is now SO
easy" he said, shat 1t is popular, and
In some states the courts are turned
into mere divorce mills"

WASHINGTON, Jan. lk-The Turkish
legation gave out yesterday afternoon
the following communication:

tain provinces, irrespective OF creed or race.
This cablegram made public by the
Turkish minister, containing an official
announcement from the sublime porte
that the Red Cross society would not
be allowed to distribute funds In Ar.
menia, created considerable discussion
here. Miss Clara Barton, the president
Of the Red Cross society. refused to
make any statement on that subject.
and Mr.. George NJ. Pullman, her pri.
vate secretary, said the society had re-
ceived no official notice that II would
not be permitted to act in Armenia
and that, until II did SO, no statement
would be made. II an official an
nouncement regarding the matter was
received, II would be referred to the
