AN IMPORTANT OFFICE.

The bill for an ordinance creating the
Office OF inspector OF provisions In this
city is in line with municipal legislation
on that subject in other progressive
communities, The stipulation. how
ever, that he Is to "obey all orders OF
the health commissioner and the board
OF health" is too sweeping and too
vague. The other duties assigned to him
should be the chief requirement. II he
attends to them. his time will be well
occupied. II he faithfully inspects the
dairies and slaughter houses, and makes
proper tests OF milk products and other
food offered for sale In this city he will
earn his salary well.
1t is now generally recognized that
there can be no more important duty of
the health department than the super
vision OF food, and especially milk. In
this matter the public can be protected
against greed and fraud only by author
izing somebody to make 1t his sole con-
Germ TO look out for them.
MIX inspection Is particularly impor-
tant. The fluid Is subject TO rapid chemi-
cal changes, and easily becomes injur-
ious to the health Of the consumers. A
large portion Of these are children at
an age when pure food is Of the great
est Importance. Many diseases which
In former years devastated communl-
ties were traceable 10 the milk supply.
There Is evidence enough that diar-
rhoeal disorders. typhoid fever. diph-
iberia, scarlet fever aud tuberculosis
sometimes originate In contaminated
milk II is now common, in some places,
to use only so-called Pasteurzed milk,
where such is supplied without increase
OF the cost, but when 4 cannot be had,
the public should certainly exercise
some control over the trade.
Proper supervision Of slaughter
houses Is also necessary. Animals rem
dered unfit for food by means OF old
age ana long abuse, or on account OF
sickness, should certainly not be permit
ted TO pass into the public market.
Then the water supply should be
closely examined. Proper filtration
should be insisted on and the sources
OF supply should, besides. be kept as
free from contamination as possible.
There Is enough to do for consclen-
tious Inspector OF food in any city Of the
size Of Utah's beautiful capital. We
want to be able to say truthfully to
the stranger that comes here for the
pure mountain air and the refreshing
baths In the lake. or the springs, that
IN addition he finds here the purest
food, the best water possible TO procure.

A year ago, Henry Savage Lander,
the distinguished English explorer and
writer, stated that President Kruger
was preparing for war. and was
laughed at. Now, he says Russia has
massed 100000 troops on the Afghan
frontier, and that the ameer's recent
declaration Of hatred to Russia is "a
veil behind which the Russian and the
Afghan viii develop their hostile pur-
poses" and he adds Il look for trouble
for England from France in Egypt and
from Russia In India" Concerning the
recent triumph Of Lord Roberts In the

A promise to pay a debt when the debtor might feel able to pay" is held, in Pistel vs. American Mutual Life h. surance company (Md), 43 L. R. A. 219, to create a legal and moral obligation to pay when the debtor is able, and to require him honestly to exercise his judgment as to that fact.
 Requiring a pledge from those who sign nomination papers to support and vote for the candidate or candidates whose nominations are therein request ed, is held, in state, Trimmer, vs. Poston (O.), 43 L. R. A. 90, to be reasonable and valid, and not to constitute an unrec- sonable impeachment to the exercise of the elective franchise.
 The right of prior appropriation of water to enter on lands across which his ditch runs, in order to clean and repair the ditch, is sustained in Carson vs. Gentner (Ore.), 43 L. R.
