FOOD Commissioners Report

Pure Food Commissioner Nc
Pherson has issued an address
showing the operation of the pure
food laws and making recommen-
dations to business houses. The
address says in part:
AS the year is about to close
some questions may be asked by
the public as to what the dairy,
pure food and oil commissioner has
accomplished, during the first nine
months toward the enforcement OF
this law. ! desire to speak to the
public; through the columns of
your paper, as / believe it has a
right to know, the commissioner
being public servant
"The commissioners policy,
during the nine months just past
since the enactment of the pure
food law, has been principally one
of education and instruction as to
the requirements of the pure food
law. In his investigations along
the lines of impure food, whenever
he found anything being used in
food products that he was satisfied
beyond doubt, as injurious to the
public health, he Immediately took
steps to prohibit its use. In a
great many cases, when he ex-
planned of these substances that
were being used to those who were
using or selling the goods which
contained them, they willingly dis
continued the use or sale of them
and in order that they might suf-
fer no harm they were permitted to
ship them back to the manufact-
urer or wholesaler. All that the
commissioner required from them
was receipt from the firm and a
copy of the express or freight bill SO
that he might know to a certainty
that these goods had been properly
disposed of. But in cases where
the people were not willing to do
this, after having been generally
warned, through the press of Ida
ho, recourse had to be taken to the
courts in order to impress on the
public mind that the law would be
enforced wherever necessary. But
in cases where the law were being
violated by some ingredient that
was not absolutely harmful, the
dealers were permitted to dispose
of the stock on hand, but warned
to have their goods properly label
ed in the future.
"For the future guidance Of the
public, and the retail merchant, as
well as the jobber doing business
within the state, would like to
offer few suggestions. On the
first of the year each merchant
usually takes an inventory of the
goods he has on hand, and | would
ike to suggest to each one OF these
that they scrutinize the label on
each can, package or barrel in or
der that they may know whether
or not the goods are labeled prop
erly, and, if there is any doubt,
write to the wholesaler or manu-.
facturer asking for the proper
label, as well as a personal state
ment as to what the various goods
contain, and see to it That all goods
are properly labeled; and in case
any goods having this label may
contain any substance which APP
pears to be contrary to law they
should be submitted to the foot
commissioners immediately

There is no use putting off the en-
largement of the line of pipe from the
reservoirs to the city. 1t has been
proven time aud time again this
summer that the twelve inch pipe that
carries the water to this city. is total
ly inadequate. In some parts of the
city. during the hours of sprinkling,
there is hardly sufficient water with
which to do anything. There is more
than an ample supply of water in
the reservoir and the pumps can keep
it full, but the pipe carrying it to this
city is far below the capacity neces-
sary to supply the city. The city is
confronted with this problem and the
sooner they settle it, the better for
all concerned.

LEE AT THE PARK.
Good Performance bum Music.
The Boys" Roast the Pianist
and Are in Turn Roast
ed by Lee.

Victor Lee, the magician, played
at the opera house last night, and SO
far as his individual performance is
concerned. satisfied everybody. He
gives good show. and it is worth
the money, and the house was crowd
ed. 1t is the usual crowd of theatre
goers who know good thing when
they see it.-and when they hear it.
They applauded Lee and appreciated
his efforts. Effort is all right when
it produces result. That is the rea.
son why the pianist was subjected to
general ioshing OIL the part of good
many. He was handed large bunch
of catcalls. boots and other things
calculated to stop him, as his music
was distur bing and he only received
applause in his silence. However.
Mr. Lee took the matter on his own
shoulders and directed a severe criti-
c;sm at the front row of the balcony
and also at the management of the
house. His language was rather
rough and was offensive to the audi
ence, and while. perhaps he felt that
he had just cause for irritation, he
must appreciate the fact that the ma
iority of people know music and sing
ing when they hear it, and that they
were paying for amusemnt. not an
noyance. The pianist didn't get all
that was coming to him, and If the
proprietor interprets pianist as the
whole show he cannot blame an audi-
ence for not seeing the thing in the
same light. On the other hand,
boisterous people in the audience are
just as much of nuisance to those
who go there to enjoy themselves and
roasting can be overdone. Tonight
Victor Lee will close the season at
the Park opera house at popular
prices. Would be-funny men -or boys
who attend performances at this
house in the future will be required
to behave and no disturbance will be
tolerated by the management.

If Dom Paul Kruger died possessed

permitted one of his generals, the brav-
est of them all. Kronje. to do stunt

If Congressman Champ Clark said
what he is charged with saying, be-

should be barred from the lecture plat

scurrilous and shocking, CLARK is a
Democrat and has been a good one,
but no gentleman would utter such an
awful threat as he did under such pro-
vocation. To threaten to cut the throat
of a man from ear to ear. while ad-
dressing an intelligent audience.
places him beyond the pale of decen-

Superb atendent Vedder issued a
warning yesterday to the people anent
the sewers. Now the people can
help Superintendent Vedder in main
tanning the sewers in good condition
or they can cause all immense amount
of trouble and practically curtail the
use of the sewers, by rendering them
useless. If the users of closets will
permit anything and everything to be
thrown in them. it is only a question
of time until the sewers in any locali-
ty will clog and cause annoyance and
damage. In a majority of instances
it is thoughtles ssness upon the part of
people that causes all the trouble.
without thinking they cast anything
into their toilets and the result is
that the sewers, being only limited in
their capacity in carrying off water
and such things as water will absorb,
readily clog and then comes trouble.
1t is to be hoped that citizens general
ly will have regard for the mandate
of the city in regard to what shall be
cast into the sewers and join with the
authorities in an attempt to maintain
them up to standard of perfection.

There is no reason why the entire
western country should not have pro-
sperous times right along. The crops
everywhere this year are most hounti-
full and the promise of the future is
such that it should invite the conf
dence of investors. 1t has been dem
onstrated within the past year that
stock gambling on Wall street is not
anymore the barometer of good or Rad
times. With the assurance of a
vast country in which crops are good
and a prevailing spirit of progress,
shere should be continuance of the
good times that have prevailed.

A New Optical Store.

A visit to A. S. Haskins' enlarged store
on Railroad street discloses several inter-
esting things, the chief of which is that
he has one of the best equipped optical
stores in New England. In the work
room OF his optical department there are
machines for everything pertaining to
this class of work-composite grinding
machines to put a smooth edge on lenses
and give them the right circumference,
diamond drills for rimless glasses, polish
ing head for rough lenses, an automatic
frameless edge grinder, and diamond
lens cutter. The examining room adj
joining contains all the modern appli-
ances for examining the eye. An inter-
esting machine is the automatic eye
tester for the range of vision, while there
are other instruments showing the
fundus OF the eye so that sketches can be
made of the same, for the eyes often tell
the diseases of the system. A SO candle
power light is employed in the dark
room for throwing the light into the eye.
In fact, the room is equipped with every
thing that a scientific study of the dis
eases OF the eye calls for. There is also a
good library in connection with the
store which is easily accessible. Mr..
Haskips is an authority on diseases of
the eye, having taken several courses of
lectures at some of the leading optical
schools in the country, including lectures
by DR.. Earl ]. Brown, professor of his
tology at the Chicago Eye, Ear, Nose
and Throat College, and official lecturer
on opthalmology to the American Medi-
cal Association. DR.. Brown is recog-
nized authority on diseases of the eye
and gives Mr.. Haskins his personal
endorsement

lights of glass in the windows in the

$50 people on the knob" between three
and five O'Clock p. m. and all seemed well
pleased that such fine view was posi-

fort of all, and when Mr.. Turner has
taken SO much pains and expense in set
ting out the nice row of trees from the
end OF Harvey street to the very summit,
which in a few years will make beauti-
ful avenue from bottom to top, it seems
pity that any one should wantonly de-
stroy such building that was erected
for the public convenience, as a pleasant
resort during the warm days.

Knights of King Arthur.

It is probably not generally known
that there is in the town an organization
with the above title. There are in reality
two, though one is hardly more than
projected. About six months ago, Rev.
A. Francis Walch, being DESTROYS of en-
listing the boys of his acquaintance in
some work that would take them out
chivalrous, called few of them together
and proposed that castle of the Knights
of King Arthur be formed. The sueges
ton met with instant approval and in
May Castle was organized, which has
proved itself all that was desired of it.
The officers are, Merlin, Rev. A. F. Waich; ;
King, Ray Spaulding; Seneschal, Earl
Richardson. Very uccessful and profit
able meetings have been held regularly
since. The name chosen tor the Castle
was fitting inasmuch as this was the
first in town, St. John de Crevocoeur.
Monday evening the bers of St.
John ce Crevocoeur Castle. on invitation
from Secy. Dillon OF the Y. M. c. A. made
visit to the Y. M. c. A. hall and initi-
ated six candidates exempliiyir g the
three degrees OF Page, Esquire and Knight
preparatory to instituting of a new
Castl which will help on the boys work
there.
The Knights of King Arthur were, es-
tab 'ished several years ago by the Rev.
| William Byron Forbush, a well known
clergyman, who has had most remark
able success in work with boys. 1t is
| founded, as the name implies upon the
| oble st as well as the most attractive of
our Anglo-Saxon legend, the finest pro-
| duct of medieval chivalry. 1t is an
order OF Christian Knighthood tor boys.
1t is entirely undenominationai. and
aims only at the elevation of the moral
and spiritual life OF boys. 1t is hoped
that much good may be accomplished by
the two Castles in our community,
and it is hoped they may become earnest
rivals of each other in all goodlthings.
