No Reason for Change.

There is, so far as the Health Depart
melt is informed, no urgent reason why
the food inspection system of the Dis
trict of Columbia should be modified at
this time. No complaint has arisen I'M
der it which is not likely to arise under
the bill now pending. The bureau Of
chemistry Of the Department of Agricul-
ture would find under the proposed legis-
lation ample opportunities, for a time at
least, for the exercise OF its talents n
the control of interstate commerce with
out undertaking TO control the local af-
fairs OF the District Of Columbia and of
the Territories. If this bill be amended
so that its passage will not effect the
repeal of laws now in force in this Dis
trict, and ii subsequently appears desir-
able that such laws should be repealed,
legislation necessary to effect such re-
peal can be promptly enacted.
The foregoing reasons lead me to rec
ommend that the bearing of the pending
legislation on the affairs of this District
be brought to the attention of the Com
mittee on the District of Columbia OF the
United States Senate, and that the com
mittee be informed that, in the opinion
of the Commissioners, its enactment will
not be to the best interests OF the Dis
trict Of Columbia"

General Food Inspection.

aside from this ii is necessary to con
slider the general feasibility of food in
spection such as is here proposed. The
machinery for the collection and analy-
sis of samples. and for the maintenance
Of prosecutions. has not yet been created
The efficient enforcement thrC ughout the
United States of a law such as the enc
now proposed would necessitate the pur-
chase CT samples of foods and drugs
costing thousands Of dollars annually The
salaries OF inspectors for the collection
CT such samples, and analysts to examine
them, would cost many thousands more
and the establishment and maintenance
Of Laboratories and the payment OF trav-
cling expenses would bring the grand total
to no inconsiderable figure
Even. therefore. If this bill be enacted
It cannot become operative until large APP
propriations have been made; and it may
be doubted in fact whether appropriations
ever can be secured large enough to en-
able the Department of Agriculture to
maintain throughout the entire United
States, and more particularly throughout
the Tern tories and the District of Column
bia, where IL will be supreme, any system
OF inspection approaching in thorough
ness and scope that now in force in this
District and which the pending bill il en-
acted, will demolish. Various other
features of this bill are of doubtful prac-
ticability, but to discuss them would re-
quire more time and space than il ap-
pears necessary to devote to this subject
for present purposes

A Former Experience.

Previous experience with the super
vision of the food supply of the District, by
the Treasury Department. from October
II, 1888, to February II, 1898. demonstrated
that such work vas sacrificed to the gem
eral business of that department, and
there appears TO be no reason for expect
ing better results under the legislation
now proposed. The fact that the control
of the food supply of the District would
be merely a part Of a system covering
every city, village, and hamlet in the
United States. between the Philippine
Islands and Maine, Alaska and Porto
Rico, suggests the amount of attention
that the food supply of the District of
Columbia would be likely TO receive.

GETTING AWAY FROM HOME
Tho Spirit OF Restiesspess aud the
Desire For Change.


Desire For Change.
Judging by a good deal OF the con-
versation OF the present day, there are
a large number OF people who have a
positive horror OF home. This curious
revulsion or feeling is taken by many
persons as a sign OF social deteriora-
tion. For our own part we find II diff
cult to take IL quite seriously or to see
In IL anything more than a passing
whim.
Nobody nowadays likes monotony.
Change Is what people dcsire-not per
haps any great change. but lots OF
small change; not necessarily for the
better. but for its own sake. Now.
there Is great Sameness about ones
own four walls. be they ever so hand
some. We all feel at times an overpow-
ering desire tn look at something else.
We cannot change the patterns or the
pictures on them every day. and neither
they nor the home furniture ever seems
to alter I'm expression
Again, there is terrible sameness
about ones own cook. Experience ena-
bles us TO fOretell the taste OF every
thing at home. from the soup to the 81
worry IL we are rich and from the NUT
ton TO the cheese II we are Door:
whereas IL we dine at a restaurant
everything down to the salt is differ
ent, and the restaurant is refurnished
daily with new faces.
Then. again. the music and stir going
on around one avoid the necessity for
much conversation. and conversation
I'm the home circle Is sometimes diff
cult and sometimes duh. 1t does not do
always just To say what one thinks. 1t
Is such bad practice for dining out.
and. this being the case. it is not easy
sometimes to think what TO say.
Nowadays we get. socially speaking.
tired of our friends and even of our ac-
quaintances. We want them to pass
continually before us like street pro-
cesSion. Instead OF that they rather
resemble Il stage crowd and keep COM

we know. Il limit even to those we
should like or should be likely to know
even by sight. and at n restaurant this
latter limit is diSregardcd. The barrier

Pruning the Rose.

Pruning is an important matter in
rose growing. Climbing and pillar
roses need only the weak branches and
the tips shortened in. Other hardy
kinds will usually need cutting back
about onefourth or one-third. accord
ing to the vigor OF the branches, either
in the spring or fall. \ slight cutting
back also after their June lowering in
the case of the remontants will en-
courage more flowers. Severe pruning.
however. will only induce the growth
OF vigorous leafy shoots without flow
ers. The ever blooming roses will need
TO have all dead wood removed at the
time of uncovering them in spring
Some pruning during the summer is
also useful in encouraging growth and
flowers. The stronger branches which
have lowered may be cut back one-half
or more. The rule in trimming roses is
cut back weak growing kinds severely,
strong growers moderately.
