Baron Hermann agricultural expert
Of the German embassy, has studied
the meat inspection bill recently passed
BY the Reichstag, and says: "The new
law will require two separate inspec-
tons In the German empire. First, an
inspection of the live stock before
slaughtering, then an inspection of the
slaughtered meat, thus giving guaran-
tee that no meat or meat products com.
ing from diseased or unwholesome ami.
mails will go to the consumer either in
the larger cities or small villages Of the
German empire. This has been urgent.
" required for long time by ali the
boards OF health. as an absolute meas
ure for the protection of health in a
country thickly populated and partly
overcrowded, as Germany IL to-day.
II all the animals slaughtered in Ger.
many have to pass through the double
examination which have mentioned.
It ID evident that the meat products OF
other countries intended to be imported
Into Germany must pass n similar in.
spection. This will be the case in the
future for all the countries importing
meat and meat products into Germany,
No discrimination Will be made aRainst
any one country. All will be treated
alike, and meat products, whether they
come from Austria, Denmark, Argen-
tina or the United States, when found
wholesome at the port of entry, having
passed the same inspection to which
all home products must he subjected

A fatal tire occurred In I.eadyille on
the 18th. It occurred shortly before
0:3O O'Clock at the Childrcn's Mission
Home at 800 East Fifth street, and
through which thirty homeless ones
narrowly escaped with their lives,
while four were burned to death while
endeavoring to escape. The four dead
are between the ages of five and eight
years. They are Walter Bauman, Ar.
thur Baumnn. Eddie TurnIpseed md
Frances Murphy. Mr.. and Mrs. G. A.
Thomas, who have charge of the home
In Leadville. are both absent from the
city. Mrs. Thomas IL In the East on q
vacation. while Mr. Thomas was spend
ing the day In Glenwood Springs. The
home was In charge Of two nurses, Hell.
en- and Rose Smith. The building was
tinder box, and that more of the lit
tie ones did not perish is simply mir
acie, ana is due to the fact that those
In charge and neighbors near at hand
rendered valuable assistance In remov-
Ing the children from the burning
building. Most Of the older children
had also retired when the fire started.
1t was through the accidental upset
ting of a lamp by one of the girls that
the terrible catastrophe occurred. Hes.
ter and Rose Smith. the matronesses in
charge OF the home at the time of the
fire, and Miss CROKER, were the hero.
ines Of the occasion, and 1t was largely
due to their efforts that more lives
wer not lost, Miss Croxier especially
suffered as a. result of her efforts In
resculpg some of the babies. Her hair

cs entirely burned Oh. md her face and

aid is helng given by the people Of
Leadville. and 1t is expected that
enough money will be given to put up

Lately much unfavorable common

Lately much unfavorable comment
has been occasioned by the advance
in the price of commercial fertilizers.
The unthinkipg and thoughtless ele-
.ment of the consumers who do not
stop to reason out causes and effects,
but accept conclusions IS they sre
deduced from false premises, have
had much to say about the advance
in price being the outcome of atrust
to impose upon the farmers. Such,
however, is, in the facts before us,
not the case. MIR. S. T. Morgan,
President Of the Virginia Crolina
Chemical Co, published in the News
Observer of R leigh, which We re-
publish elsewhere, and to which we
invite the attention of our readers,
clearly shows that the advance is but
the logical outcome of the increase
in the cost of raw materials. Not
only hes fertilizers advanced, but cot
ton, all farm produce, raw and manu-
featured articles of every description,
and groceries have advanced in price
with them. These advances are
not the result of trusts but arise from
healthy business conditions and q
revival of prosperity which has been
stsgnated by a long drawn out de-
preston in business and commercial
circles that has also been felt ever
to a greater degree by the agricultu-
raj interest. Low prices is not a
healtbful sign of prosperous times:
to the contrary it is an unerring in
dication of stagnation and tight
times in business affairs, and be who
oppose a return to fair and legiti-
mate prices impedes his own pros
perity. To demand high prices for
what we have to sell and grumble
about them for what we have to buy
shows a narrow and illiberal spirit
that would tear down the prosperity
of a community to build up an in
diyidusl interest. Let US hail the re-
turn of paying fair and legitimate
profits with a ~joyousness born Of
hope of brighter and better times.
