"Are these fresh?" is probably the
question which a grocer hears most
c often. For t b 0
concerning more fastidious
' class of patrons
answers to this question have been
furnished in number of ways. New
laid eggs are stamped with the date
of manufacture, and the candy shops
display the "fresh every hour" or
fresh every day" sign for the en-
lightenment of the public. But there
is limit to this practice, and it
seems to have been reached in Penn
sylvania. A bill now before the leg
islature provides that all canned,
preserved or picked meat, fish, fruits,
vegetables, game, or any kind OF
foodstuffs" must be stamped with the
date of the canning. Forty-six of
the largest grocery houses in and
about Philadelphia were represented
at a meeting the other Cay
called to protest against this
provision, and their arguments
are of much interest to the
consumers. They say that the law
would deprive customers of some of
the products of other states, that it
would raise prices, increase the cost

GERS because of the old stocks they

based on the supposition that the
customers will turn from the old
canned goods and insist on having
the very latest product. But is this
true? asks the New York Post. Are
not the grocers becoming needlessly
alarmed? If the statements of some
of their number are true, many
canned products actually improve
with age A well-managed campaign
of education would doubtless con-
vince the public of this, with the re-
suit that all the unsold stock in ware
houses would increase instead of di-
minish in value. The demonstration,
moreover, would be simple, at least
to begin with. Take wine as the sub
ject to reason about. Wine grows
better and more costly with age, as
everyone knows. Then pass from
wine to jelly, which is essentially The
same thing boiled down and heavily
sweetened. From jelly one goes to
jam, marmalade, and the whole line
of fruit products and from them to
vegetables. Another line of argu-
ment will begin with cheese and end
with the nultitudinous meat prod
ucts. Some day, perhaps, we shall
see in the grocery store window signs
like these: "Fine old green peas for
sale here" Canned corn, crop OF
1885," and "The genuine mellowed
canned roast beef. Packed for the
soldiers in the war with Spain"

Thirty-seyen editors from various
parts of Ohio visited the Toledo
Blade on Tuesday afternoon and
evening in response to invitation, and
enjoyed themselves inspecting the
new plant. OF course everybody
knows the Blade, and everybody
knows it to be one of the best papers
published anywhere. Everybody
should know that the paper is now
provided with the most complete
equipment known to the publishing
business, and in the construction of
the new building every effort has
been made to provide light and fresh
air to every department thus making
the labor of producing a great paper
as pleasant to the employees as pos
sible. The great Hoe presses which
turn out 10000 8 page papers per hour
are marvels of mechanism, and while
the mechanical part of the plant is
most excellent, 1t is IN the editorial
department where the Blades excel
cellencies originate tits from the pens
of the editors and reporters that
the Blade secures its power and
makes itself the household necessity
that it is known to be in thousands OF
homes. 1t is in the great scope of its
news and general information; the
power of its editorials; and the clean
illness of its every page and depart
ment that makes it retain its hold up
on the general public and constantly
increase its circulation. We also
believe there is no daily news
paper in Ohio, or any other State
that has been more universally court
eous to the members of the craft il
the smaller towns and cities than has
the Blade.

Complaints about "abuse of the
mails" remind contemporary that we
hear little about the worst phase of it:
the abuse of the public to whom unso-
licited and misleading letters and cir
culars are sent inviting investment in
schemes projected by people the re-
cipient never saw or heard of-mining
companies, oil companies, all kinds of
corporations that promise dollars in
returns for cents. Unfortunately such
stuff cannot be kept cut of the mail
bag; but the man who gets it can put
it into the stove, and this is the safe
and proper place for it.

Tried by high standards, this coup
let is not poetry, yet it stimulates
thought:
What kind of a church would our church be.

The rhyme is neither old enough nor
artistic enough to be called classic,

power to silence the critical, to en-
ergize the lazy, to shame the penu-
rious and to soften the cantakerous.
Some few there are whose conceit
withstands it; but the average man
Or woman yields to it at once, and
enters upon a salutary course of
determination. The charm is not
broken, either by the substitution of

NEW OFFICIALS,

Mayor Kingsbury's inaugural address
was very appropriate and timely. He
made no special effort at long speech,
bat pointed out in plain, practical
terms, the needs of the village and re-
commended careful conservative
manner of doing business. In his
duties us Mayor he declared he had no
enemies to punish and no friends to re-
ward; he would endeavor to do his
duty with malice toward none and
good will for all. He was deeply i'm
pressed with sense of duty he owed
the village that had done SO much for
him, and while he did not seek political
honors since his return to his old home,
he felt it his duty to accept any trust
his fellow citizens put upon him and
would do the right by all the people, as
it was given to him to see the right.
In the appointment of James Hayes
as Marshal, the mayor has made an
excellent selection. Mayor Kingsbury
is beginning well.

SNOW AND THE BOBSLED.

Public Safety Requires that the Sport OF the

The handsled and the SNOWFALL
are ordinarily looked upon as harm.
less factors In a winters sport, and
If kept within proper bounds no
objection can be raised to either of
them. In populous community,
however, 1t Is very difficult to keep
them In restraint. Only a few
days ago a little girl sustained a
very bad fracture of a limb while
coastlng In the city and which was
doubtless due, TO very great de-
gree, through both carelessness and
recklessness on the part of boys.
The handsled In a city is often
a menace, for streets and walks that
are travelled BY teams and Pc
destrians are not suitable for the boy
with the sled. Neither Is crowded
street or sidewalk proper place to
throw snowballs. The list OF
serious aud fatal accidents already
charged up In this and other cities
against these two winter amuse
ments, suggests the need Of more
caution on the part Of those who
lean to the bobsled as winter
diversion. If those who engage In
these sports will not use dis.
cretlon and thereby consider the
rights of others, then 1t Is high time
for the public to take firm stand
In the matter.
It Is a pleasant for healthy and
vigorous boy to be told that he
must not use his sled on the pave
ment or street, but 1t Is worse to
have bim run into pedestrians and
send his victims to the hospital and
the morgue. This winter has been
exceptionally seductive to the boy
with the sled, for the snow already
has been In good condition nearly
as many days as 1t Is usually all
winter In other years. Perhaps the
average will be made good by bare
ground pretty soon, In which case
the sled and the SNOWFALL will be.
come less harmful. In case the
snow continues public safety re-
quires that the sport of the youths
be made more docile or else sup.
pressed.
