When the state legislature gets
around to 1t it might undertake to see
what, if anything. is the matter with
the pure food law, says the Grand
Forks Herald. A bill was passed at
the last session prohibiting the sale of
adulterated foods, defining adultera-
ton, and fixing penalties for violation
of the provisions Of the act. The
chemist of the Agricultural college
has prepared and circulated a bulletin
giving the results of the analysis of
various foods purchased in the open
market. almost every one of which is
~adulterated within the meaning OF the
act. The facts are all carefully stat
ed, and the name of the manufacturers
and retailers of the goods are given
in the bulletin. The act provides that
the states attorney shall prosecute for
violations. but there does not seem to
he much of a furry. Shall we pass
another bill providing that the present
law shall be enforced. or what shall
we do?

Growth of Our Language,

Tc give sCme idea of the tremendous
growth of the English language ii may
be mentioned that the words and
phrases under the letter a. have in
creased since the middle Of the nine
teelith century from 1000 to nearly
6U.OoO. SO enormous indeed has been
the growth of the English language
that il would be practically impossible
for the most learned mar to be ac-
quainted with every word. Intelligent
persons. even those engaged in the

of more than from G,OO0 to 5000 words

The letter that caused this matri-

thrifty husbands, and will leave in a
short time to be introduced to their

MISSOURI PAc1F1c,s BIG GAIN IN NET.

The remarkably fine showing of earnings of the
Missouri Pacific Railway Company for January Is
due In the first place the fact that the COmpari-
is made with period last year which made
the poorest showing of any month Of the nsclI
year. AS a matter Of fact. the first quarter of
Missouri Pacifc's fiscal year 1902 showed a ret
decrease of $4,000 which in the succeeding months
reduced decrease in net OF $4,000 for the
whole year. Thus it Is seen that II Missouri Pa
cifc's fiscal year had been moved forward one
month there would have been great variation
from the figures of the year previous. The month
of January last year showed lily poor. on
account Of the extremely wet weather. congestion
Of traffic and the almost entire failure OF the corn
crop.
On the other hand in the month Of January just
passed the company did one-third more business
thar in the same month of the previous year. and
the operating expenses showed reduction to a
corresponding extent. being only $1,000 m excess
Of the opera ting expenses last year. The improved
condition Of the property, the increased business
the entire absence of conditions that prevailed
last year the main reasons for the improved
showing of the company, and IL is expected that
the month of February, though a short, one, will
show WELL If not better, than the one just re-
