ABOUT EATING STARCH.

Some frantic ass down east, where
all the most frantic live, has set
horrible yarn afloat in the papers
about girl who died of eating
starch. We print OH another page the
remarks of an alleged physician on
the case. He explained that "com-
mon starch is largely adulterated and
often contains arsenic" But he was
wrong. Starch is never adulterated
for the sufficient commercial reason
that there is no similar substance
cheap enough to mix with it. Ger
tainly arsenic, which costs eight or
ten cents a pound, would not tempt

jurios of the protective" clauses.
Under these conditions we may fur
ther predict that the conflict will
again be opened in reference to our
protective laws, that it will in
volve every question Of taxation in
nation, state and municipality; and
that the abuse of corporate powers
will likewise be involved. and that
these artificial instruments to COM
bine capital for special purposes will
emerge from the conflict with restrict
ed powers, that they will cease to be
vehicles of fraud both upon stockhold
ers and upon the public, and that in
their organization, actual capital and
not wind and water will be required.

OF HEALTH. county behind 9th
er counties of the
state in giving effect to the provision
made by the last legislature for fight
ing contagious diseases and prevent
ing their spreading. There is state
board of health which has formulated
a set of rules governing such matters,
but it is left to each county to organ
ize local boards for enforcing
these rules. 1t is not costly under
taking. All that is contemplated is
to establish system, whereby uni
formity of action can be secured.
Different counties have arranged
details in different ways. Richardson
county has adopted plan which seems
simple, and not likely to pile up much
expense. Any householder or physi-
clan, upon recognizing case of con-
tagious disease, is to notify the coun-
ty commissioner for his district. He
must thereupon form local board of
health for the township affected, to
consist of himself and the nearest JUS

These three men are to see that the
state boards rules as to quarantine
are enforced, and the justice is to
make the requisite reports to the state

iprocity to escape from threatened
evils. The island of Cuba is not
really comprehended under this idea.
Her power to make treaties with for
eign nations il in the absolute, and
her legislative powers are in the par
tial control of the United States. In
all but name, she occupies the posi-
tion of a state in the union; and the
most obtuse intellect must admit that
it is only question of time when she
legally will occupy that position
Both good morals and sound econom-
ic policy therefore demand that she
should participate in the internal
free trade which the other. states
have enjoyed and under which they
have prospered.
The writer is not confident Of the
beneficial effects to follow from the
proposed reciprocity treaties with
other nations. Under the prevailing
sentiment in this country, the pro-
posed treaties must conform to the
''principle of protection" which
rigidly fosters everything which can
be produced within the national lines,
regardless of degree and amount.
Under these treaties, without doubt,
articles not produced in this country
could be admitted, but the great mo-
nopolies would be permitted to retain
their special privileges, and thus to
. continue their extortion from the pub
lie. In other words this perverted
sentiment demands that reciprocity
and protection must harmonize with
each other, while true reciprocity and
protection are repugnant to each
other. All trade is between individ-
uals and not between nations All
trade is reciprocal therefore to have
full reciprocity, all trade must be
free and subject only to taxation for
revenue and police regulation, ex-
actly as we possess our other liber
ties. On the proposed lines, therefore
reciprocity can not be success, be-
cause it excludes the idea Of freedom
between traders, which is it's essen
tial element. If, however, it were in
tended and used to promote freedom
of trade, such freedom must come
through it's use as retaliating instru-
ment to compel other nations to relax
their protective laws. Whenever we
have reached this stage, the people
will be prepared to accept freedom of
trade by more simple and direct, and
less complicated methods.
Moreover taxation is always ques-
tion of domestic policy, and these
treaties would involve our system of
taxation in endless confusion. Where
treaties existed containing the
most favored nation clause in relation

PROFESSIONAL DOG WASHERS.
Queer Trade to Be Seen in Certain
Parts of Paris.

Wide World Magazine: AS YOU walk
along certain parts of Paris your at
tention is sometimes attracted by the
barking of n dog, and on such an oc-
casion one of the queerest of the out
door trades of Paris is seen. Near the
waters edge, his black coat flecked
thfckly with soap suds. stands the dog,
and over him, energetically shampoo
ing the soap into the long, hairy coat,
stands one of the professional dog
washers who haunt the banks of the
Seine at stated spots from the Pont
d'Iena to the Pont Neuf. These men
lather and wash pet dogs, while their
owners look on from conveniently plac-
ed chairs. The fees range from 5 sous
to franc. When the soaping opera
tion Is completed the dog is dropped
into the river and encouraged to get rid
Of the dirt and soap by swim.
Sometimes the pet will swim straight
out, while the fair owner is in agonies
of fear lest some swiftly passing steam
er should strike it and end its bathing
and swimming days forever On more
than one occasion the dog washer has
been driven to plunge in and rescue the
bewildered animal lest the infuriated
owner should claim compensation for
his carelessness. With some Parisien-
mes this weekly pet washing is a cere-
mony of Importance. The dainty lady,
alighting from her smart victoria, goes
down the steps to the washing place
chosen. preceded by her footman car
rying or leading the dog, as the case
may be, and then, seated under sun
shade, she directs the toilet of Fifi or

Will Retire.

Senator John 2. Jones, who has
represented this State in the Sem
ate of United States for over three
decades, has Officially announced
that he will retire from public life
on March 4th, 1903. The Senator
is now seventy-three years of age
and says he desires to retire while
yet in possession of all his facul-
ties-a wise conclusion to com to,
by the way.
The Gazette says Senator Jones
has been riding the black mare of
politics into high and honorable
positions for thirty-fve years, and
every time but one he has done
his training at the Republican
barn. The last time elected he
was chosen as a ''siiver man."
The Gazette sincerely wishes it
could say something about the SER
vices of Senator Jones in keeping
with well done, thou good and
faithful servant" etc., but we cam
not. He has spent much of his
time in New York and at his home
at Santa Monica, and not ten days
in Nevada for ten years. We will
not call public attention to the
Senator'S shortcomings, but will
content ourselves with the simple
words, Goodbye, Senator, we
wish we could, but we can't.
