A QUESTION OF METHOD.

A QUESTION OF METHOD.
The pure food law of Minnesota got
a set back in court the other day
which may make it lots Of trouble. OF
the matter the Minneapolis Journal
says:
Enforcement of the pure food laws
is one of the most difficult tasks ever
imposed, for the reason that ingenuity
of manufacturers is always keeping
pace with the vigilance of the chemists
and inspectors.
A blow to the work of the state
dairy and food department has been
struck by Judge C. L. Smith in the
municipal court He has announced
that wholesalers must be brought in,
and that he will not fine retailers for
selling impure foods unless they re-
fuse to tell where they were obtained.
At first glance this seems just and
seasonable position, but it appears to
have been taken without full knowi-
edge of the facts.
Retail grocers do not enjoy being
hailed into court and published as ven
ders of Illegal food articles. They
have threshed the subject out with the
state department in the past, but the
commissioner has found that in NO
other way can adulterated food arti-
cles be Kept from the public. It would
be easy to deal with the wholesalers
d they all lived in Minnesota. Those
who have headquarters in the state
are closely watched, and have come to
he careful in observing the letter and
spirit of the law, as rule. The bulk
of the Illegal foods on shelves of re-
tail stores come from wholesalers out
side the state, who cannot be reached.
In nine+tenths of the cases such
wholesale dealers pay the retailers
fine, and the grocer seldom loses any
money directly by reason Of an arrest.
It is the notoriety that he objects to,
mainly, and this is unfortunate. 1t is
plainly necessary, however, to search
the shelves of retailers if the public is
to be protected from impure foods, and
IL the wholesale dealer cannot be
found himself, then the only thing to
do is to assess fines against the re-
taller.
The department is generally lenient,
and sHows plenty Of time to get rid
of an Illegal article, but too much
patience would be an injury to the
consumers. The authorizations pres
ent in most prepared food articles are
not only a fraud but a menace to
health. A small quantity of preserva-
tive taken in one food article will hurt
no one, perhaps, but a dose of coal tar
dye, salicylic acid or chemical flavor
ing repeated often enough, cannot help
but injure digestion.
Professor Shepard of South Dakota
has published menu Of three meals.
all the articles served being in com
mon use, which includes forty doses
of harmful dyes and preseryatives to
be eaten in one days food. One dose
might not do harm, but how about
forty?
1t is clearly the duty OF the state au.
thorities to keep such slow poisons
away from the homes OF Minnesota, by
the best policy they can devise, and 1t
is the duty of the courts to give them
intelligent cooperation.

Claude Harrison and Arrow Emer-
son, two 14-year-old Fargo boys, were
arrested in Mandan, having skipped
from home for tour OF the world.
Their only regret at being cooped up,
seemed to center on the fact, that
some girl friends in whom they had
confided, gave the snap away; where
and when they were going. They had
no money but Claude was to act as
manager for Arrow. who was to give
acrobatic performances on the streets
and in saloons. The boys were taken
back to Fargo.

A Bird Lost in the Air.

BOYS are frequently lost in the
woods, and it is a singular fact
that birds are sometimes lost in the
air. This might seem strange to
almost anyone: but the average
man is a superficial observer Of lit
tie things.
In the far north, and particular
ly along the ocean coasts, birds
are frequently storm-driven and
lose their bearings, so that many
of them are lost at sea. They
keep, floating in the air, aimlessly
striving to live, until exhaustion
compcls them TO drop into the
angry waves which cngulf them.
There is a Northumberland
case on record Of an ocean liner
bringing into New-York on a
winters day a large white owl
which had dropped to one of the
forward spars in an exhausted con-
dition, more than eight hundred
miles off the coast of Newfound-
land. 1t was nearly dead from
cold and hunger, and almost too
weak to eat anything. II had be-
come much emaciated, and trem-
bled in its distress when II tried to
swallow the first morSel of meat
which was placed within its beak.
The Captain and sailors were all
interested in il, and under their
nourishing care it slowly recovered
and became entirely well and
healthy and strong. 1t willingly
remained with the ship afterward
IL was evidently a land bird
which had been blown of from the
coast of Newfoundland by stronG
west winds, had become lost
merely drifted before the gales
kept out of the water, almost starv
ed TO death and made its last in
telligent effort to reach the ship
and there fell in exhaustion anC
collapse.
Old sailors narrate many othe
instances of finding birds that hav'
been lost in the air.-Sunda,

WEIRD RITES AT A MoRGUE.
-Four hindOOs Conduct Service Over
Dead Shipmste.

-Four dusky Hindoos called AT
the morgue recently. They told
the keeper that they had come from
the steamship Virginia, of the Gu
ban Mail Line, on which they were
employed as stokers, to hold fu-
neral service over the body of Cadi
3. Jaknow.
Jaknow's body was brought to
the morgue on Oct. 25 from the
Virginia, cn which he died. He
also had been stoker on the steam
boat.
The four visitors wore American
made clothes, but carried turbans
with them. They were dirty with
coal dust and looked as though
they had just come from the ship 5
hold. They called for water. The
morguekeeper brought a pailful.
The four took of their shoes and
socks and washed their feet and
hands and faces.
Then they set their shoes in order
in a row along the side of the NOR
que in Twenty-Sixth street and
walked in. Inside they removed
their outer clothing and adjusted
their turbans. The plain pine box,
covered with black cloth, which
contained the remains of their ship
mate, lay in the little chapel to the
right of the morgue. The man in
the coffin was tall and of fine ply
sique, with the characteristic jet
black whiskers of his race.
One of the Hindoos took his po-
sition in silence at the head Of the
coffin. One Stood on his right,
another on his left a little behind
him, but still farther back, thus
forming a cross.
The man at the head of the cof-
fin bent his head and whispered.
All four put their hands behind
their ears and bent forward, as
though intent on catching a re-
spouse from the somber box in
front of them. The two forming
the arms of the cross then began a
low chant; the one nearest the COT
fin bowed over it again aud utter
ed a prayer in monotone.
Then turning to the right he
gazed raptly at the ceiling for sew
eral minutes as though straining
his eyes to see something. The
other three looked TO the left equal
ly intent.
Standing thus, gazing ceiling
ward, the four broke out into an
other chant, then walked one at a
time to the coffin, looked for a
moment on the features of the dead
man, and filed slowly out. Then
they put OF their clothes again and
walked away without a word

RONING JEFFERSON DAVIS.
More Light on the Subject No Orders
We're Given Gen. Niles to Menacle
jefferson Davis.

In view of the recent statement
of General Miles with regard to
placing irons on Jefferson Davis,
the Houston Post of last Monday
prints the following from the Army
and Navy Journal, of July 4, 1908:
To the Editor of the Army and
Navy Journal.
St. Paul, Mimi, June %, 1908.
In a recent issue of your paper
l noted a communication rejecting
upon the structures which General
Nelson A. Miles, United States
army, has put upon soldiers OF the
United States in the Philippines in
regard to "barbarous and inhuman
treatment" and l also note your
editorial comment upon the COM
munication, and in so far as your
correspondent has drawn a paraller
between these acts, and the act OF
General Miles in placing irons upon
Jefferson Davis, in Fortress
Monroe, in May, 1865, beg to
correct the opinion which you have
formed in the premises. General
Miles never had official orders to
put irons upon Jefferson Davis. l
was officer of the day, upon the
date in question, when irons were
put upon Mr.. Davis. General Miles
called me into headquarters and
told me that he had authority
to place Mr.. Davis in irons. and in
confirmation of his orders General
Miles exhibited TO me a personal
letter from the then secretary of
war, Stanton, which evidently was
in reply to a communication from
General Miles, in which the secret
airy in effect said: IF YOU consider
the safeguarding of the prisoner re
quires it, you may place hin IN
irons, at your discretion.
There was nothing mandatory
from the secretary of war, all was
LETT TO the discretion of the COM
handing officer; nor was the com
munication official, and / am sure
that a review OF the files of the
adjutant generals office will reveal
no official communication, making
it mandatory upon General Miles,
to put Jefferson Davis in irons,
and, further, / shall say that II
was not an act necessary to insure
the safe retention of the prisoner
within the custody of the United
States.
