Come with their brave hearts beating,
Longing to die for me
Ne. the gray. old. weary mother,
Throned amid the northern waters

1t is definitely announced that the Lon

the relief Of Mafeking. which occurred last
Thursday. This quiets the fears of those

formal confirmation. 1t is further noted
that the advance moveme nts of the three

Methuen in the west will operate as to

The Milk supply.

The District chemists report milk
adulteration in the District, just submitted
to the Senate by the Commissioners. ought
to teach a very practical lesson. 1t shows
first that the practice Of milk contamina-
ton is carried to a dangerous extent here
as elsewhere. and second that by means of
the steps taken in the past in restraint of
such evils the quality of the milk
locally consumed has been materially i'm
proved But there is yet room for great
advancement for the opportunities for
adulteration and the chances of contani-
nation are still very great. owing to the
lack Of sufficient means to conduct a rigid
inspection.
Prof Hird'S report adduceS facts that
must cause the average consumer of milk
TO marvel at the greed of man. The dis
honest dairyman, Whose like is to be found
everywhere, commits his first crime against
health by skimmng milk that should be
sold unsk;mmed and then by diluting 1T in
order to swell its quantity. In order to
cover this crime he uses a coloring matter
that causes the milk to sour, thus perpt--
trating a second offense. Finding the milk
thus treated spelling on his hands. he has
devised a third crime 70 cover Inc otner
two. namely the addition Of a powerful
but unwholesome preventative to the mix
ture of milk. water and annatto- This
preventative boric acid or a combination
OF b,rax and formaldehyde, makes the milk
indigest5le.
Thus in turn the dishonest aliryman di-
ninishes the nutritive quality of the milk,
renders it liable TO unnatural fermentation
ard then causes it to prove a burden to the
stomach of the consumer and. therefore,
handicap upon the system instead of a help
to it, When it is considered that milk Sc
cured from the diaries constitutes the chief
article of the diet of thousands of young
children in every city. it will be seen how
this chain of frauds affects the health of
generation most seriously in need of whole
some food. No more cruel crime could be
perpetrated.
1t is proposed to further the good work
already accomplished by adding to the in
spection force OF the District government,
and by changing the mode of regulating the
diaries. Prof. Hirds suggestion of a license
fee may be worthy of adoption it, as he be-
lieves, it will diminish the traffic in small
dairies and bring all the dealers under a
closer supervision. His proposition that 4
central depot be established is likewise
practical. for it would doubtless enable the
inspectors confidently to survey the entire
daily supply and maintain a system of
tests which would be almost certain to re-
duce the chances of aduiteratiOn and con-
tamination to a minimum. 1t is also adj
visable TO weigh well his recommendation
that the penalty for milk adulteration be
increased. The honest dealer cannot be
harmed by an indefinite extension Of the
limit of punishment.
The milk supply lies close to the pub
lie health that it is well worth large ex-
e,,l
infection. Modern science has supplied the
means Of maintaining such guard. The
District should be given the benefit Of every
possible means of preventing disease and
death from an impure or an adulterated
milk supply.

just What Europe Wants.
From the PHILADELPHIA Press

For American public sympathy to make
itself felt as the Boer ENJOYS are trying to
elicit its expression is to play into the hands
of Europe, which desires to see the two
English-speaking powers at odds so that
each may be dealt with alone. This desire
the United States cannot afford to crafty
by empty public expression of sympathy
with the Beers. For the Beers this sympa-
thy accomplishes nothing. 1t does not
bring a man or dollar to their aid. But 1t
may leave the United States weaker when,
as was the case In the Spanish-American
war, and has more recently been the
case in China. it is well and wise for the
United States to act conscious Of the SYM
pathy and moral support of England.
Our next national duty Is in South
America. AT the rate and pace with which
European fleets are growing and European
interests and investments increasing in
South America, the United States cannot
afford to waste any strength or estrange
any friends by fruitless expressions Ct SYM
p;lthy for the Beers.
