Mobile, Apru 10.
 With the Democratic primary ended and the nominees declared by the ex- ecutive committee. a new condition Of affairs confronts the voters. as we'll as the members of the Executive Com mittee. At a recent meeting of the committee one of the members sprung the fact that the election laws, enact- ed by the recent constitutional conven- ton. had provided for something en- tirely unlocked for by either the conn mittee or certain office-holders, to- wit: the revenue and road commission CTS of Mobile county.
 It was called to tho attention of the members of the committee that the new law provided for the election of the entire new board and, as the prI- mary had only named two of the mem bers, the question arose: Must the en- tire membership be renominated and elected in the election in November?" Your representative called upon a number of judges in the city this morning, all of whom, however, de- ciined to give an opinion on the sub ject. One of the legal fraternity, how ever condescended to state that he was of the opinion that the entire board which, at present comprises five mem bers and which the new law stipu- lates must be composed of four mem bers and the judge of probate, as pres- ident, must be elected in November.
 He said that he was of the opinion the county executive committee could rule favorably to the two candidates who ran in Mondays primary and. if so desiring, could name the other mem bers. inasmuch as they are holdovers. as the nominees. This the executive committee will, undoubtedly decline to do as a majority feel this would be an infraction of power granted them by the party.

 Much uneasfness was expressed in the city yesterday when it became known that Hon. c. Lawrence Lavret- ta, president of the Board of Public Works, was quite i'll at his home on Government and Lawrence streets, due to blood poison in the right arm. Mir. Lavretta sustained an injury to a fin- ger on the right hand some time ago and, not thinking the injury of much importance, paid little attention to 1t. Last Saturday, however, the finger be. gan to swell and the hand and arm also. He called his physician who pro- nounced the trouble to be blood poison. Yesterday 1t was feared there would have to be an amputation. This morn ing his physicians pronounced the arm much reduced as to the swelling and the danger of fatal results as over come. It was also pronounced that there was no immediate need of ann putation.

TRADE SCHOOL
Kamehameha Nay Give
Attention to the
Idea.

Trade school development instead of
manual training as hitherto taught will
probably be the future effort of the Ka-
mehameha Schools so as to give the
Hawaiian graduate a trade whereby he
can at once begin to earn his living
An example of what has already been
done in this line is to be seen now at
the residence of Theodore Richards
where Prof. Eskew, superintendent of
the trade school department of the Ka-
mehameha Schools, is making extensive
alterations assisted by d corps of Ka-
mehameha students.
The plans for the alterations to the
Richards home We're drawn by Mr..
Traphag gen and to Mr.. Es1ew was OF
fered the opportunity of giving his pu-
pills practical demonstration in carpen-
tering The alteration consists OF rails
ing the roof and building a second story
over the original house which was of
one story The work is nearing COM
pletion and is said to have been ex-
ceptionalIy we'll done.
The manual training idea has done
much for the students Of Kamehameha,
but as given to young boys, it is
theoretical TO a large extent and the
instruction is not altogether associated
with practical examples. The trade
school idea on the other hand is in
tended TO give practical instruction in
carpentering, blacksmithing, painting,
gardening and farming. In this the
pupils are put on actual work which
must of necessity be done right and
thoroughly

BAD FOODS
DESTROYED
Sixteen Milk Samples
Found Below
Standard.

r. \. Duncan. Food Commissioner
and Analyst. in his report for June TO
the president Of the Board OF Health,
says:
one hundred milk samples were ex-
amined. with sources as follows:
From wagons 81 samples, below
standard
From diaries samples, ? below
standard.
Brought to office IL samples. 4 below
standard.
From inspector Bowman, Hilo, 3
samples. I below standard
These figures give a total of sixteen
samples of milk below standard.
The samples from milk wagons found
below standard were one from BOrgo
for Dairymen's Association, one from
a Japanese driver for G. Holt, one from
Fernandez. one from a Japanese driver
for H. Davis. two from V. NJ. Souza
and three from A. Y. Lloyd. The last
samples were made the basis of prose-
cution, Lloyd pleaded guilty and SEN
tence was suspended for thirteen
months. Mr.. Duncan says:
"A number Of the milk samples re-
ported adulterated this month, 1 am
of the opinion, were not adulterated
with water. but were from cows giving
a poor quality of milk. Several of these
dealers have been notified that the milk
sold by them is below standard but not

The use of preservatives in cream
has been a general practice in Homo
lulu for several years" the Analyst
says. Used in proper quantity, prob
ably no danger would arise, as its use
is confined mainly to adults. The
amount found is above the limit Of
.25 per cent which is considered the
largest amount that should be used
"One sample preservative, submitted
by dealer, and used in cream. was
containing the equivalent OF 98.5 per

Commissioner Duncan gives the
figures of five samples of vinegar, on
which he comments:
The first three samples We're bought
for cider vinegar, but the analysis
shows them to be spirit vinegar and
probably colored. as is also the case
with the last two but which We're not
purchased as any particular kind The
first three samples are adulterated, in
that they were sold under the name Of
another article. The names of the
dealers selling spirit vinegar as cider
vinegar are as follows:
