lie Health association, which has been in
session at Minneapolis since last Tuesday,
came to a close shortly before noon to-
day, when an adjournment sine die was

at the opening of the final session. The
most interesting was the amended reso-
luton deprecating the use of preservaline
and similar chemicals in foods. The def

rank among the most satisfactory in the
history of the association. About 125
new members had been added.

of the association, and said that he would
do his best to further the work in the

was the technical topic for discussion.
Two excellent papers bearing directly on
the Minneapolis problem were presented
-one by Macdonough Craven, of the New
York department, the other by Col w F.
Morse, a prominent sanitary engineer Of
New York.
After a short discussion Of several
phases of the subject the association has
tened on to the consideration of the other
topics on the long programme Most of
the remaining papers were read by
title, as the hour was very late Final
adjournment was then taken, and nearly
all of the visitors went to Minnehaha and
Fort Smelling, leaving the West hotel at
2 p. m.
