The Children of Porto Rico.

Children are an ever present and abund-
ant factor in the domestic economy of the
peasants life. 1t is called domestic econ
omy, stree it costs nothing to supply the
air Of day for the lungs Of these little waits;
IL costs nothing for their clothes, for they
run about in the sunshine and the rain just
as God made them and sleep in odd corners
without cover for the first half dozen years
of their baby lives, and when older a sim
gle discarded tattered garment adds to their
natural grace the shield Of decency. So they
live. without expense and with little ten
derness bestowed on them in the shape of
material comforts. though the mothers kiss
Is often given and the father pats the little
head. They soon toddle at the command of
the mother to do small errands. TO help
weed the garden, to bring in the handful
OF wood for the fire. to dig the tubers for
a meager meal, and lastly. to hold up their
tiny hands and with pleading eyes gain a
copper from the passerby on the roadside.
They are a good investment to the family;
the majority of them die at an early age
and 1t costs but a few strained hours to the
mothers heart. a bit of cloth for a shroud
and the energy needed to carry the tiny

the usefulness of those who, by the laws
of survival of the fittest. pull through with
sturdy forms to pick berries. work in the
cane and tobacco fields and add to the COM

against the paternal banker and live for
themselves In poverty and in bondage 10 the

PURE FOOD INQUIRY.


May 4.-The senatorial pure
food investigating committee held its sec
ond session here to-day. Giles Lewis. a
druggist, Of this city, testified that, while
other countries had laws which prevented
the selling of adulterated goods in their
own countries, no provisions were made
against exporting them to foreign countries.
He declared the United States received ar
ticles of food made in Germany and France
that could not be sold in the country where
they were made because of the preserva-
tives used.
Mr.. Lewis said adulteration could be di-
vided into two classes. one of which was the
adding of c~oloring matter for the sake OF
appearance and the other was to give ficti-
tious values to articles of food. His advice
TO the committee was that a national pure
food law be drawn up and a permanent
commission installed in office, the duty of
which would be to prevent the marketing of
any article of food or drink. domestic or
imported. that was misrepresented. The linn
IL of adulteration, he declared. should be
governed by the commission and the COM
mittee, he suggested. should analyze articles
and certify to their purity by a govern
ment stamp.
DR.. Wiley next took the stand and gave
further information to the committee re-
garding the articles sold in this country
which were adulterated. Among practices
that are fraudulent. yet not injurious TO the
health, he mentioned the sale of fish of a
cheap variety and grade for the more ex-
pensive kinds, especially fish packed in oil.
1t also is a common custom. DR.. Wiley said.
for dealers to stamp packages with foreign
stamps and thus deceive the public into be-
lieving it was buying imported goods.
Horse flesh. according to the expert, was
commonly used for food purposes in Euro
pean countries and labeled as beef. but he
did not know of it being used to any great
extent in this country. The sale of turtles,
in restaurants. for terrapin, was also a COM
mon means of ~defrauding the public. Fam

could be classed In two rOupS-colOring and

principally because ii was pleasing to the
eye and made the food more palatable.

storing the natural color of green peas. the
witness declared, sometimes was salts OF

He ended his testimony by saying that no
food offered for sale which contained pre-
eervatives was fit to eat.
