Request for the Enforcement Of the
Pure-FOOd Law.

Request for the Enforcement Of the
Pure-FoOd Law.
The Local Council of Women held it's first
meeting of the new year yesterday after
noon at the Girls Classical School build
ing. The address of the afternoon was
given by DR.. John N. Hurry and was
listened to with much interest by the
council as it was along lines of vital i'm
portance to its members at present. DR..
Hurry spoke on 1.-THE Need of Food Leg
islation." He said that although Indiana
Has one of the best food laws in the United
States, it is not enforced and the State is
far behind many other States in the large
amount of adulterated foods allowed on
sale of adulterated foods in Indiana could
be greatly reduced If there was a state
laboratory.
DR.. Hurry was warmly thanked by the
Local Council for his talk, after which the
business of the day was considered. The
secretary, Mrs. w. 7. Barnes, being out of
town, Mrs. John w. Kern read the
minutes of the last meeting. The treas
urer's report was heard and discussed, the
question Of the annual room rent to the
Propylaeum being considered and an appeal
made to the delinquent societies in order
that a proper financial settlement could
be made. Mrs. Hart. as chairman of he
visitation committee, gave her report

stitution had been taken under advisement.
The members of the Local Council, all
being intensely interested in question of
the sale of pure food stuffs, spent consid-
cradle time in it's discussion, and the fol-
lowing resolution was framed.
ITO the honorable members of the India nj
Legislature:
Whereas The State of Indiana has
a pure food law, which If enforced would
protect the citizens of the State in their
health by reason of putting a check to the
vast adulteration of foods; and, whereas.
account of lack of an appropriation for the
purpose of analysis to determine the
amount and character of the adulteration
therefore we club women of Indiana
petition your honorable body to make
sufficient appropriation for the establish
ment of a state laboratory and 10 compen-
safe chemist and bactericiogist, that
evidence may be adduced of the adultera-
the law be subject to the penalties for the
said violations"
Mrs May Wright Sewall will address the
council at its next meeting. Announce
ment was also made of Professor Moul-
toms lectures which will commence at 8

SEC0ND-CLASS MAIL.
Delivery Wagon and Carriers May Be
Secured for the Emergency.


Postmaster McGinnis will try to secure
from the department at Washington au-
thority for the purchase of a mail delivery
wagon and one additional carrier. The
request will be made on account of the
complaints received in the past because of
the trouble to publishers and others in
going to the Office for their second-class
mail matter.
S. M. Sexton. editor of the Mine Work
ers' Journal, has complained to the Off
Gals that he is caused much annoyance in
securing his exchanges from his box. Mr..
Sexton says the conveniences arranged for
the publishers are poor and that the mail
is delayed because of the unhandy ar
rangement of the boxes in which is placed
the newspaper mail. Sexton says that In
dianapolis Is one of the few cities I'm the
United States which compel publishers to
call for their mail. In other cities, he says.
with this delivers newspaper mail several
times day. Mr.. Sexton called the at
tention of Assistant Postmaster Shideler to
what he thinks is defect I'm the service
ton. He intends communicating with the
Postoffice Department in Washington about
the matter.
Assistant Postmaster Shideler, in speak
ing of Sections complaint, said he thought
II unjustified. He showed the arrange
ments made for the publishers second
class mail and said that ii was the best
scheme possible. The boxes are arranged
within easy access and are opened by
keys in the possession of the men who go
after the papers. There Is no table or
anything on which the mail can be piled.
and the papers are thrown into the boxes
and await the call of the owners.
Mr.. Shideler and Postmaster McGinnis
said that the local postoffice is doing all
that 1t is possible for 1t to do in delivering
the mail. Some of the second-class mail Is
delivered and the carriers Inconvenience
thereby. With the number of carriers now
on the force here it will be impossible to
deliver the mail, and they think that the
complaint of Mr.. Sexton is unreasonable
and unwarranted. In order to preclude
the possibility of the complaint an effort
will be made to get the delivery wagon,
and should that be successful all second
class mail will be delivered as regularly
as the frst-class matter handled by the
carriers.
