MAI. BowLER's BULLETIN.
Tells Where His Department Stands
ON Baking Powder Question

Maj. J. M. Bowler, state dairy and Oh
commissioner yesterday answered many
inquiries regarding the law, and states
the position of the department by the
following communication, sent to all who
are in doubt:
In answer to your favor of the 4th inst,
| beg leave to call your attention to a let
ter written by me to c.. r. Croft & Co,
OF this city, on this subject on Dec s
last, a copy Of which Is herewith en-
closed That communication defines the
attitude of this department. The pro-
visions Of the law which went into effect
on the first Of January / assume, the
public generally are now familiar with.
Anyone violating the provisions of that
act. or any other law coming within the
administration of this department, does
so at his peril, and when this depart
ment. either through it's own officers or
upon information furnished it, discovers
violations of the law committed to it's adj
minfstration and enforcement. prosecu-
tons will be instituted: but laws of the
character referred to are, in their nature
police regulations for the protection of
public health and to prevent the sale of
adulterated products as genuine. Such
being the purpose Of the legislation it is
the duty and aim Of this department to
administer the law with that end in view,
and not for the purpose Of furthering con-
tending commercial interests not to make
the enforcement Of the law unnecessarily
oppressive to individual citizens who have
not been guilty of Intentional violations

o'clock yesterday, caused some excitement
among the tenants Of the upper floors

age to the premises will not exceed $15.
Miss Peterson was absent at the time,
and the house was filed with smoke be-
fore the firemen could locate and extin-

Peculiar features of the fire are that
although many of the tenants of the
building were in their apartments, the
firemen found the entrance to the build

one of the windows of the lower floor in
order to get into the building. Once in

Mr.. McCardy has passed the bills all

time ago he passed a bill for $96 carpet
for his own Office and for a carpet for
the city attorneys office, and a desk.

Dr. c. E. Riggs, of the state lunacy
commission, yesterday fled his annual
report with Gov. Lind. embodying several
recommendations upon the future con-
duct of the three insane asyiums, as we'll
as statistical report Of each asylum.
DR.. Riggs recommends that a separate
cottage for nurses ut each Of the ho5-
pitfalls be provided for in the future. 1t
would result. he says. in great beneht
to the work in winch the nurses ale
employed as being most important
feature of the administration of the in
stitution.
No person can remain In constant re-
lation with the insane without suffering
after a time both mentally and physical
ly. He suggests that from IL standpoint
of economy the addition be made, as
making possible much better results in
the hospital
There is dearth of good reading mat
ter for the patients at the hospitals and
the charitably inclined can, the doctor
says, find excellent field for their labors
in this respect
Female nurses are recommended for the
female wards, where in other institutions
the experiment has Proven very success
full.
Further legislative action regarding the
boarding out Of quiet and orderly pa
tents as the existing statute. made In

A special statute for the voluntary
commitment of insane is urged as be-
ing especially desirable. Very often,
says the report, persons in an incipient
stage Of insanity. or upon the border
line, would derive great benefit from
hospital treatment could they avail them
selves OF It."
The report also recommends the adop-
ton of the emergency commitment law
as in vogue in Massachusetts.
Regarding the criminal insane. Dr.
Riggs says: There should be special
provision made for the criminal insane
as Is done in New York and Michigan
They should not be sent to our state
hospitals, which are not prepared to take
care of this class Of patients, their
criminal tendencies making them very
difficult to handle. Neither should they be
