A pure food exhibit in Chicago fur
nishes occasion to the Times Herald
for reminding citizens of the efforts
that are now being put forth by the
Federal Department of Agriculture to
investigate the character and extent of
the adulteration of foods and drugs in
the United States. This is one of the
most important inquiries, remarks the
Times Herald, that can be inaugurated
under government auspices, and is
without doubt the most valuable SER
vice that the Agricultural Department
can render to the people Many of
the States have enacted laws to pre-
vent adulteration of food, but they are
but indilferently enforced The only
effective way to stamp out adulteration
is through Federal laws, and one OF
the objects of the present Federal in
quiry is to ascertain to what extent
the State laws on this subject have
been enforced. Adulteration of food
and drugs is carried on much more ex
tensively than the people imagine. 1
is a question in which the public il
deeply interested, because it afrect
health, morals and legitimate trade
The European governments are sever

supervision of all food products i

people of Switzerland voted for a
amendment to the constitution whic
will provide for government survei
lance of all food products, and heav
penalties for authorizations. The d.
partment at Washington solicits th

Pistol Balls of Wood.

A patrolman arrested N. e. Thweat
on Decatur street for being drunk and
for disorderly conduct, and when he
caught hold of the colored man he
threw his right hand behind him
and attempted to draw pistol. AS
quick as lightning the officer reached
for his own pistol, and when the col
ored man saw that the officer meant
business he threw his weapon to the
ground. Thweat was placed under
arrest and his pistol picked up from
where it had been thrown. At the
police barracks Thweat talked about
getting away, and it took some trouble
to keep him quiet. He commended
that he did not mean to shoot the
officer, but only meant to hide the
pistol in his trousers leg. When the
pistol, which was heavy bulldog,
was examined it was found to be
loaded with six cartridges, but instead
of lead they contained wooden bull

A curious garment came into this
