ADJUSTMENTS.

AT the Clunie Opera-house this even
ing the second week of the Faust Vau-
deville Company begins with new acts,
scenes, faces and new pictures in the
animatoscope, and new instrumental
musical performances. This is by all
odds the cleanest and neatest of recent
vaudeville shows. There is not a feat
ure in 1t that has the slightest tinge of
suggestiveness. 1t is a remarkable per-

1t is amazing that she was not pulled

that she has the opportunity of getting

THE PURE FOOD CRUSADE.

The Pure Food Congress, at the con-
resolved to form a permanent body, the
purpose of which is to inaugurate and
prosecute throughout the State a sys-
tematic and persistent assault upon bo-
and cheat goods. 1t is to see to
it that the laws of the State against
the sale of deleterious food
manufactures are rigidly enforced.
This is excellent. All that can be done
is to enforce the law. If there is any
thing harsh or unjust in the statute,
enforcement will soonest develop it and
secure adoption of correctives,
Professor Jordan hit the nail on the
head in his address to the congress
when he said that laws are not intend
ed to make people virtuous." That is
true, but they are intended to protect
people from the assaults of the vicious
and that is precisely what the pure
food law of California proposes to do
Professor Jordan added: You cannot
make a man honor his father and his
mother with police force" But the
State has not only a right but it is its
duty to see to it that the man does not
beat his father and mother. poison their
food or deprive them of that which is
their right. Professor Jordan contin-
ued:
Pure food legislation along right lines
is duty of the State, because it is a
worthy end that can be reached better
than by private enterprise. But it does
not follow from this that chicory should
be prohibited from use as a substitute
for coffee, or cabbage leaves for to-
bacco in cigars. or fusel oil in whisky.
Because it is not the purpose of the law
to save people from their own folly
Chicory is harmless. while the alkaloids
of coffee are to some people dangerous
poisons. Cabbage leaves and brown
paper are less harmful than the nico-
tine of tobacco, and fusel oil might by
some be thought less dangerous than
whisky. But every kind of food which
does not show on its face what it is,
such as ham and eggs, should be lab
eled, so that man could know whether
he was buying chicory or coffee. cab
bage leaves or tobacco. fusel oil or
whisky. If he choose the worse. that is
his concern. But we have a right to
know what we are getting.
That is the kernel of the whole mat
ter. Let men make all the spurious
food they care to. and sell it also. but
let them not paste lie on its forefront.
If it is food made of starch, salycilic
acid, coal tar coloring and gelatine so
label 1t. and not offer it as something
which 1t is not. There is nothing in the
Wilmington bill under which the prose
cutions are had against offenders that
interferes with the personal liberty of
any human being. 1t permits anyone
10 make all the substitutes, frauds and
limitations he pleases. but it forbids
him to swindle and cheat his neigh
bors by labelling the stuff as pure
goods. wholesome and fit food for hu-
man beings.

supplied-that is, to use so much of
the water as was necessary for strict

drink for man and beast, before any
could be used for purposes of irriga-
ton. After their natural wants were
supplied, each party was entitled to a
reasonable use of the remaining water
for irrigation, and if the circumstances
were such that the interests of the par
ties would be conserved thereby, the
court was authorized to apportion the
flow of the water of the stream to the
respective owners by periods Of time,
