spending Is sometimes sarine.

The true end of craftsmanship is to
promote the greatest public welfare.
whether this means saving dollars or
spending dollars. When economy will
contribute to this welfare economy is
good. but where 1t will cripple some
important branch of public service
then economy is bad; and the public
official who tries to make a record in
defiance Of this fact Is no real friend to
public welfare. Where sinecures exist.
or useless political "job" commissions,
or where waste occurs by poor organi-
cation of the service, then economy and
reorganization are in order; but where
important work would be less effec-
lively done by arbitrarily abolishing
offices and reducing the number of en-
ployes, then the path of craftsmanship
is to point out the grounds for distin-
gushing between the two cases and

some, and Its Sale In Violation Of
the Pure Food Laws.

A case in the courts of Davenport
Iowa, the other day appears to have
fixed the status of the alum baking
powders as an Illicit article of trade,
It seems that The Pure Food Co.
of Chicago. sold to firm of grocers in
Davenport quantity of baking pow.
der called Pure Food Baking Pow
der" The grocers sold some of 1t,
ascertained that it was an alum pow
der, returned the powder unsold to
the manufacturers and refused to pay
for it. The manufacturers sued to col
lect.
The case was tried before Judge
B0llinger and a jury. Attorneys Neal
& Neal, and S. A. Finger defended the
grocers. 1t was shown that the pow
der contained alum. The defence
claimed. consequently, that 1t was in
furious to health and that traffic in
it was against public policy. Expert
testimony was introduced to show that
alum when taken into the stomach
would influence the gastric juices to
the detriment OF the person using it.
The jury rendered a verdict for the
defendants. which means that alum
baking powders are deIeterious to
health, their sale illegal In the state.
The pure food laws of the state are
upheld.
