The Indian Famine.

The work Of raising funds in this coun-
try for the succor Of the starving people of
India was started last night by a mass
meeting in New York city addressed by
some of the most prominent persons in
attendance upon the ecumenical conference.
Some of the speakers gave thrilling per-
sonal experiences with the Indian famines
having served in that stricken land as mis-
sionaries. The meeting was a success in
that a strong committee was formed to
take charge of the collection of money and
a considerable nucleus for the relief fund
was secured Immediately. 1t is expected
that the American contribution. collected
under these auspices. will be large.
The famine situation in India is the more
British government has accomplished Won
people in famine years, and in solving,
even in a small measure. the general prob
lem OF famine prevention. But the task
is gigantic. 1t involves elements so far
reaching that it is doubtful whether any
present governmental enterprise will more
than reach the superficial conditions The
land is oyer-populated. The people are
strictly agricultural in their habits. They
are restricted by stern religious doctrines
and by infiexible rules of caste They are
helpless If left alone and prejudiced against
many of the measures taken for their per-
manent relief.
The solution of the problem lies In the
change of the population from an asricul
tural to an industrial basis, and TO accom-

How British Oleo i. Yel,owed.

The adulteration of foods and the imita-
ton of natural food products cannot be
said to be confined by any means to this
country. They are having experience in
England and doubtless on the continent
with much the same evils against which
the farmers and housekeepers of America
are Just now struggling. A governmental
committee has been sitting in England of
late asking questions about foods in a man.
ner which the majority of the House COM
mittee ways and means would probably
characterize as impertinent and illegal.
Nevertheless Information is being ELECTED
which is vastly instructive to the English
consumers of certain foods. For instance,
this extract from the current issue of APP
pleton's Popular Science Monthly shows
how adroit yet how constituencies are the
British manufacturers:
"A witness recently admitted to the Brit
ish governments committee now making
inquiry into the use of coloring matters and
preservatives in food, that yellow coloring
substances were largely purchased without
any discrimination for the purpose of Civ
ing rich appearance to milk and milk
products As rule, no question was asked
as to the injurious or nOn-injurious char
acter of the dye so used. One of the best
coloring matters was known as MartiuS
yellow. naphthOl yellow naphthalene yell
low, Manchester yellow. saffron yellow or
golden yellow. and is chemically the same
as the dinitroalpha-naph prepared from
the naphthalene that crystallizes in gas
mains, which is an important constituent
in the making OF lyddite. 1t Is slightly ex-
plosfye when heated, is injurious when it
comes In contact with an abrasion of the
skin. and has been shown by physiological
experiments to be a highly improper sub
stance to mix with food.
There is no reason to believe that this
form of enterprise is confined to England.
To be sure lyddfte is not at present an
article of American manufacture, but oleo-
margarine is. and 1t might be important to
ascertain-if the House committee would
but permit the inluiry-whether this yell
low coloring matter which enters into the
composition of explosives and imitation but
ter with equal facility is favored by the
American cleo trust

achieved, but in the face of the enormous
numbers requiring virtual regeneration the
beginning is but paltry. Climatic condi-
tions cannot, of course, be changed. The
failure of the crops is steadily recurrent
evil. caused by the peculiar geographical
surroundings Of the peninsula With al
most every community primarily dependent
upon the soil for sustenance, with no great
industrial enterprises to interpose- bar
rier between the treacherous soil and the
millions reliant upon 1t, crop failure
means death to hundreds Of thousands.
Charity saves many lives Organized re-
lief works partially fend of the penalty
the people must pay to their conservatism.
But until India learns that life depends
upon a new economy England will continue
to face this perennial responsibility. And
to expect India to learn so tremendous a
lesson, destructive of all the doctrines,
habits and prejudices of centuries. is al
most to look for the millennium.
The Christian world must continue to
bear this burden. The missionaries may
accomplish great deal by teaching the
Hindus new ways and views Of life and
perhaps, this leaven in the lump will even
tually lessen the hardships which Indian
fanaticism has imposed upon the white in
truders.
