Com menting on the report the Providence Journal sagely remarks that opposition to the confirmation of MT. Ware upon religious grounds will not command much respect from the American peo- pie. MT. Ware may be outside oi the conventional pale" in free thinking, but that has nothing to do with his fitness for his position. If there is one thing that is settled in American policy it is that religious belief or it's absence shall not receive the slightest consideration when public office is concerned. MT. Ware has been a poet, it is true; hut unless he proposes to let the muse in- terfere with business even this fact should not be urged against him.

It was rec ord breaking event in financial circles of the west, but it agitated nobody. The largest single payment went to the Huntingtons. amounting to $2.5OO,OoO. with an additional sum of 9 cents on each of the 25,OOO shares represented The smallest payment was $10025.

Peter s. McNally, the Boston long lice of New York that sinking the third and last time'' is a fiction; that a drowning man may rise many times, the number being determined by the amount of water swallowed. One of the strangest things about rescues from drowning is that nobody is ever saved after going down once, but all ways just as the victim is about to sink Nally goes further and affirms that drowning as the effect of cramp is a popular fallacy. A cramp in the stomach might be dangerous, he ad- mits, but he insists that it is very rare A cramp of the arm or leg is not in itself serious thing, but it scares the swimmer and he lets himself drown because he thinks he is doomed So even in the matter of drowning the faith cure system may work well. Most of the people who drown while bathing. according to this authority, are attacked not by cramps, but by apoplexy or heart disease. "A man with any affection of the heart is liable to instant death in the cold water" he says. There are other popular beliefs which Mir. McNally assails. He is en- phatic in denouncing the custom of cooling off before going into the water, li NI Tan, saved sixty-fve persons from death by drowning, his opinions are worthy of attention.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, APRIL 21. 1902.
The adu1teration of food products is

The adulteration of food products IS one of the "advances of science" in the
 wrong direction. and it FRAUDS is pleasing to note that IN FOODS. the agitation against
 fraudulent foods and drinks is bearing fruit in a number of states in the way of severe legislation. It l sa subject which should have pub lie attention in every state and terri tory. If the chemists are to be be- lieved, everything is now more or less tempered with, the idea being to eXtort greater profit from consumers. The apparent cheapness of adulterated ar ticles is a snare. A pure article will go farther than an impure one, and when the price of any legitimate arti- cles is placed below the legitimate price it must be taken that either the seller is selling below cost or else the article itself is impure. Selling below cost is not profitable business, but tie selling of adulterated articles is cal culated to produce profits. The Con- necticut agricultural station has re- gently made a report of some investiga- tions of impure articles, and while those named are not all of general use it is yet significant as showing the tendency of the times. In the list given are found the following. with the adulter- atinos used:
 Creme de menthe, with malachite green; creme de violette, curacoa and creme de rose, with methyl violet and ponceau: raspberry and strawberry ex- tracts, with artificial dyes; vanilla ex- tracts, with vanillin and tonca bean; tomato eatsup. with coal tar coloring; milk, with borax or farmaldehyde: jel- ly with starch paste and benzoic or salicylic acid. The drinks mentioned, known among their users as roof gar den tipples.'' were colored to meet the public demand as to shade. and with TO respect as to the purity of the arti- cles. Of twenty-eight samples of jam only two were found genuine by the Connecticut chemists.
 These are but samples of what is be- ing done all along lines. and the revi val of the agitation against adultera- tion Is wise. It is self-evident. when one considers the prices asked for cer- tain articles, that they are not pure, and that the purchaser is bound to pay for a dangerous combination. This adulteration enters into almost every thing. and one of the most common sources of adulteration is in the so- called cheap candies. Good candy can now be had for one-fourth of the price formerly asked, but much of the cheap candy is a mixture of clay or some similar material. It Is not un- common, after eating a bit of cheap candy, to find in ones mouth a sedi- ment like paste or hard and gritty like sand. This sort of stuff is clearly not healthy and stomachs are easily affect ed by an accumulation of clay, no mat ter how pure the clay may be.

stuffs and drinks of every description
 cannot be too strict The plea that
 much of the material used for adulter- ation is not harmful does not warrant its use. Fraud is intended and fraud is perpetrated when an inferior arti- cle Is used to increase profits. Pur chasers prefer pure articles every time and they should be given nothing else unless they make a demand for the same. Yet even in such circumstances the practice Is pernicious, and the fact that it has gone on so long unchecked encourages the use of harmful pro- ducts. The work of hunting down in- ferior articles. tainted with adultera tions. should go on everywhere.
