or not it will carry there seems to be
much difference of opinions. The pre-
vailing view, however, is that it will
succeed. There is one thing certain,
that we must have better streets. The
best way to get them is by issuing
bonds. Our city is already five or
six years behind our neighboring
towns, and we must catch up, and that
right soon. Vote fer the bonds, and
don't hold your city to the rear any
longer.

THE PURE FOOD CRUSADE.

Hawaii, which Is a place where more
than one lot OF condemned san Fran
cisco food products has found It's way,
and where. as Inspector Sh0rey 8
monthly reports attest. the adultera-
ton OF what we eat Is common. has a
special interest. as a coming Territory,
F In the proposed FEDERAL Pure Food
Law. Il is the purpose Of the Senate
. Committee on Manufactures, which is
. preparing the BILL 10 adopt this uni
form rule: To prohibit the sale Of
deleterious and unhealthful food prod
ucts. and as TO those food products
which are simply cheapened by adui-
terantg. 10 compel the marking OF the
goods for what they are. In this way
the committee hopes o suppress an
industry which is on the increase at
home and which is largely represented
by importatiOns from Europe.
With Federal officials charged with
the duty OF inspecting such provender
as enters our ports and Of passing on
it's genuineness, we can do much bet
ter by the pure food laws than is pos
sible under the local bureau with its
limited personnel and means. Mr..
Shorey and his assistant are doing all
that two men can do, but they are not
able to make anything like the num-
Der of analyses which the exigency
calls for. For this work they need
and should have ample help; for as
physicians look at the matter, no small |
OF local mortality is due to
the eating Of adulterated food. These |
Islands are doing an enormous bust |
ness in bogus provender. In butterine |
they took 1884, s4 pounds last year, be-
sides quantities of oleomargarine and /
theory. No one knows how much OF /
imitation jams, catsup, olive oil, bak- !
ng powder, how much of adulterated /
spices, wines, tea and the like enter, /
tut the Food Inspector knows that the /
amount is very large. II will be happy 1
'elief to consumers IL the passage of a /
federal law shall give national aid to
'ur pure food crusade; for in that case
he safeguards will be ample and not
my more likely than the internal rev.
niue laws are to fail Of proper enforce
nent for lack of funds.
