LADD's DECISION.

E. r. Ladd, state food commits
sioner says: II am asked if the
dismissal of the Erickson meat
case, representing the Cudahy
Packing Co., means that the use
of boracic acid and borates is to
be permitted in our food pre-
ducts? Not at all. It means
simply under the criminal law,
that because the meat sold by
Erickson was Diamond G brand
and the meat delivered by the
packing house proved to be the
Rex brand, the party could not
be prosecuted for a product
which he did not sell
Our stand is this, that meats to
be sold in North Dakota must be
put up in compliance with our
law, or the parties Offering such
meats must withdraw from the
state. There will be no deviation
from this course and the repre-
sentative of the Cudahy Packing
Co., was so informed at the close
of the trial. If there are those
who still think it is safe to use
borates in food products, his case
will have prompt attention.
| I cannot see that it makes any
difference whether the amount
of boracic acid is five grains OF
fifty grains per pound of meat
the question is whether borates
and boracic acid is harmful. Il
has been repeatedly demonstrat
ed that they are harmful pro
ducts. They interfere with the
; digestion and absorption of the
food cause loss in body weight

ENGLISH DOCTORS FEES.
They Are Regulated by the Royal
College of Physicians.

College of Physicians.
The specialists must be divided into
two distinct classes. the surgeon prop
er and the lure physician. The former
unquestionably gets big fees in ratio
to his reputation. The famous surgeon
has only to name his, fee to the mill
lionaire with appendicitis. With the
fear of death before his eyes he will
write his check gladly. When he has
recovered he will often grumble if he
does not boast. A younger and less
known man will perform the same op-
GRAFTON for 1.-THE of the cost, but the
public, with death staring them in the
face, will have the man with the big
name, regardless of expense.
But the pure physician is an entirely
different matter. His fees are stand.
ardized not by act Of parliament, but
by that autocratic body, the Royal
College of Physicians. His fees for
consultation at his own house are
fixed at 2 guineas the first visit and a
guinea for each subsequent one. For
consultations away from home he re-
ceives a fee at the calculated rate Of
two-thirds Of a guinea mile. Elstree,
twelve miles out Of town, Is, ipso facto
8sguineas; Liverpool (2O1. niles is Ia
guineas, and so on pro rata, But It
must be Remembered that nowadays
all the big provincial e-centers haye
their own specialists. and the town
man is very, seldom sent for, unless he
be one OF the very, biggest names and

seems that in 1902 there was 1o,3s4
acres Of land irrigated In this state on
lO2 farms and the average cost OF
constructing per; irrigated acre was
only $4.34.
A member Of the Forum stan has
receivedSa personal letter calling at
tention to some Of the. facts concern
ing irrigation In this state, written by
+. II. Newell. who is at the head OF
the reclamation bureau. He refers In
this this to the fact, that all Of the projects
thus far undertaken in the state, have
been only Of small area and by private
ENTERPRISE. This should not be taken
as meaning that larger enterprises are
not possible III the state, but in order
to bring these about, it is necessary
that the people OF North Dakota be
more thoroughly posted concerning
the benefits to come from irrigation.
The experiments, which have al
ready been made, have been generally
for for the purpose Of growing native
grasses for pasture or hay. but 1t Is
believed that many Of the persons who
have undertaken these enterprises,
have secured experience which would
assist others IN, their efforts to under.

The Christmas Fellowship Of Miss Nab
By ISABEL GORDON CURTIS
(Reprinted from Good sekeepng by Permission.)

Little Miss Nab sat staring into
the radiant heart of a wood fire, It
lacked only two days Of Christmas.
She had not yet invited anyone to
share the hospitality OF her small
home. Never since she had been
left alone in the world-and that oc-
Cured when she was 17-had she
knowns a lonely Christmas; there
were always some forsaken creatures
ready to turn gratefully to the shell
ter of her home. All these festivities
had brought certain heart warmth
and happiness which fingered for
months, but it had not meant fellow
ship or sympathy.
IL believe l want little bit of
Christmas to myself this year," Miss
NAB whispered to herself; cts SIGH
hard work, all the fixin's! I do love
to see the old women an the starved
boys an girls fill themselves up.
What they want, though, is the eatin'.
They don't know nothing about fell
lowship. When a woman steps over
the 40 line an has been alone all
her life, there's a sort of longin' for
fellowship-ain't there, Maltie?"
The gray cat arched his back and
rubbed his plump body against Miss
Mab's dress.
cts fine dinner" observed Miss
NAB in her solitary musing; "it's a
fine enough dinner to deserve fellow
ship" She rose and walked to the
front window. IT might jest as we'll
out with what is on my mind" she
said. II know who I wan to invite as
we'll as can be; all that's troublin me
is the propriety of it. Now if the
little thing hedn't a father, I'd take
her in and keep her-longer'n
Christmas, too.'
She was watching six-year-old
girl who lived in the big boarding
house across the street, which was
