PURE FOOD LAW.
Adams Explains the
Aim of the Measure.

State Dairy aad Food Commissioner
Adams has issued a complete list of his
rulings on the new pure food law as
made up to the present time. The list
of rulings is accompanied by copy of
the law and a circular letter to the
trade. In his letter 20 the dealers,
Commissioner ADAMS says the whole
sale adulteration Of food products has
been a great evil, alike injurious to
the dealers and to the public, aud while
lie does not expect that the practice OF
adulteration can be stopped in a day,
tt will gradually cease as the dealers
become acquainted with the law, and
he declares that as they do acquire that
acquaintance with us provisions, they
will be held responsible for compliance
with them.
Specific lists of pure or adulterated
articles cannot be sent out by the de-
partment, as Reconnaissance says that
such lists would be used for advertising
purposes. The dealers must look for
their protection to the good faith OF the
wholesalers, iobbers and manufactur-
prs

Large Trees Near Buildings.

1t is a pleasant thing where there is
enough land to warrant it to have one
or more high trees a short distance
from the house, but not growing close
~ enough to cause il to be damp by
excluding air. Such a tree, SO long as il
continues alive and full of sap, will
make a lightning rod unnecessary The
live tree offers a much better mark for
lightning than do the dry walls of a
building. 1t will usually conduct "a
stroke of lightning to the soil without
itself receiving any injury. Probably
where such trees are found near farm
buildings they have many times saved
them from the blast of lightning, while
the occupants Of the building were uu-
aware of the danger from which they
had escaped

which Welded good Income. One Of

Road surfacing Material.

Here is a scheme for providing
crushed stone ready at hand for surfac-
ing country roads. In many sections OF
the middle and eastern states, old tot.

be glad to get rid of these old walls. Let
a traction engine propel the crushei

DAIRY ICE SUPPLY.
How to Construct nm lee House I'm the

uoV " construct an Ice mouse In the
Corner of Barn.
The use of ice is absolutely necessary
in summer dairy work; and the extern
sion of the dairy industry is impeded
in many cases by a lack of ice for sue
cessful work. The idea that a costly
ieehouse is requisite for the profitable
storage of ice, is not borne out by those
who have improvised storage at COM
paratively trifiing expense. 4 corner
in the barn can be adapted by any farm
er at all handy with tools, at a cost
exceedingly small when compared with
the advantages which a liberal sup
ply of ice during the heated season, will
confer.
There are few localities where brook
or stream cannot be temporarily
damned or piece of adjacent land
flooded so as TO afford sufficient depth
for freezing. Where ice is to be used
for any other than cooling or refriger-
ating purposes the water must, of
course, be pure, rs ice cannot be purer

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER.
This Is for HenIth's Sake and Wi
Save Many Infirmities.

Save Many Infirmities.
DR.. Austin Flint, Sr., used TO say:
Plenty of water, plenty of water out
side and in for health"
Since his day, doctors generally have
more and more strongly recommended
water, till now, a certain (and large)
number of glasses of water per day is
one of the most popular prescriptions
from some Of the best doctors at the
best sanitariums in the land. High au-
thorities now tell us that often the basis
of success in the hot water craze and in
drinking mineral waters is neither the
heat nor the minerals, but the water,
the water is what the system of the pa
tient was needing.
We are taught now that there is no
danger of drinking too much water,
and good deal OF not drinking enough
OF course, that is not disputng the fact
that it is very easy TO drink too much
ice water when we are warm, and too
much Of any Kind with our meals.
y practitioner and instructor at Belle
yue recommends everyone to drink a
pint of water on getting up in the moru-
ing, and a pint on going 10 bed, at any
temperature they like; this is hygicn-
ic suggestion, not a medicine one; this
very successful practitioner thinks it is
the best way of giving he system need
ed liquid, and declares many irreguIari-
ties disappear under this regime. The
water, mind, is not, however, TO be
gulped down at one or two draughts, Il
half hour or more while dressing or I'M
dressing should be given 10 slipping the
two glasses.
The same physician recommends a
good drink Of water when we feel tired
or faint; in tina, state that generally
makes US turn to tea or coffee or wine;
the water has an almost equally rev;v-
ing effect aud much better results in the
long run.-St Louis Republic.
