In the days of Gabaron all the people giants,
who lived in large houses and titled large fields Every
very happy and free from trouble. All dwelt in
the country rather the sides of high mountain.
There stores shops because they clothed
by magic power. Their time spent in raising flow
for the shrine of the goddess who cared for them
legend told that the fields were the site Of great
battle between the good and evil powers Of nature, and
that flowers sprang up in place of all the good who fell
Ind thorns for the evil So the people worked very dill
genty to for the flowers and that the thorns
all welded out and did not take possession of their
beautiful land. exzz@-.gs saFse Is-z
All went well for many years, until ORG day small

prang up and instead Of flowers the field dot

good many of the fragile died. The thorns
partly victorious Then the people who lived in these
wonderful days also began to get careless about the
Tiny thorns which crept into their hearts Their goddess
fosook them and left them to for themselves
and in that they have lived since. The

Pure Food.

DR.. Walters, of New York city, has
been setting forth the prevalence of
adulteration in articles of food In
the manner of enthusiasts he goes to
an extreme that causes some ques-
ton as to. his authority. He uses,
for instance, the following express
sion: 4 doubt if pure olive oil is
&c be found in the market
In California the olive grows as
naturally as corn in Kansas or wheat
in the Dakotas. 1t is an abundant
crop. Much of it is made into oil
at the place of production. There is
no secret about the process. Any
body may inspect the whole opera
ton. This oil is superior TO any i'm
ported. 1t commands in the markets
OF San Francisco a higher price than
oil from Italy or France, simply be-
cause it is a better article and known
to be pure. If the foreign oils are not
"doctored'' there is no way for the
consumer to be certain of the fact.
AS for the California oil, the adulter-
alton of it by Introducing cottonseed
oil would be more expensive than the
making of it pure.
Maple sirup is another thing the
integrity of which is assailed, doubt
less with reason. The yield of the
sugar naples is not sufficient to more
than begin to supply the demand
The substitution of sugar, glucose
and a fayoring of maple may not
ne deleterious, but it is not honest
The substitute serves every purpose
and is sold at a reasonable price II
there was on the market no maple
sirup' save that made from the sap
of trees, the man of moderate means
could no more afford it than he could
wash down his daily meals with
champagne
There are laws not only forbidding
the use of hurtful ingredients, but
forbidding dishonesty in labels. Il
these laws were enforced, as they
easily could be enforced, the offend
ers fined or~sent to jail. there would
be no need OF more legislation.
The Washington times., 1905-01-18

thinks there will be no general objec-
ton.
The Times believes the law should
be observed as much by the several
executive departments as by nom
governmental plants. The Govern
ment, with its unlimited means, is
peculiarly able to meet the require
ments of the law, and its example
In neglecting those requirements IS
peculiarly mischievous. General Har-
ries testified that it is the Treasury
Department which blackens the White
House. If il be true, while it does not
lessen the liability of the Electric
Power Company to observe the law.
it does prove the need for greater
watchfulness on the part of the Presi-
dents Cabinet. 1t is the same Gov
ernment that fines non-governmental
violaters Of the smoke law that
operates these departmental furnaces
in violation of the law.

Keeping Down the Smoke,

Each days contribution TO the
smoke-law controversy seems to con-
fuse the issue.
The Board of Trade, for example.
adopts resolution favoring an ex-
emption of the issue of smoke two
minutes at time, a total of sixty
mlnutes~during the daylight hours, and
especially makes no provision as to
the issue OF smoke at night.
General Harries, who represents
one OF the chief offenders against the
law and testified in that capacity
before the Senate District Committee.
argues that there is no smoke nuis-
ance in Washington, asks an exemp-
ton of six minutes while the fires
are being built, and prefers an allow
ance of three minutes at other times.
Now, one OF our contemporaries
asks for the rigid enforcement of the
law, without any concession, even for
warning.
The Times stands reselutelv for
every reasonable eafeguard against
the growth of smoke nuisance in
Washington. More than any other
city IN the nation, the Capital must
be kept sclean. II there is no smoke
nuisance today that is all the more
reason why the District must guard
against permitting one to arise. But
The Times thinks the cause of no
smoke will gain nothing by asking
iI1possibilities. And the anti-smoke
law, as il now stands, does ask i'm
possibilities.
Commissioner MacfarIand has in
formed Congress that the whole num-
Der OF smoke-making plants in the
District IS 154; that 81 of these plants
observe the law substantially; that 80
observe it rarely; that ~ observe it
occasionally, and that Is habituaIIy
fail to observe it.
1t would appear that if 81 plants
can fulfill the law, its restrictions are
not unreasonable. But these 81 plants
are nearly all equipped with small
furnaces, subject 10 an even strain
while the yiolators nearly all operate
large furnaces, which must meet vary
ing demands. These demands can be
net-according to the testimony OF
reliable business men-by time al
lowanee which shall not exceed one
hour in twenty-four. and which shall
be distributed so that the issue oi
smoke shall be not more than three
minutes in any one hour To this
amendment Of the law, The Times
