RESCUE ABANDONED BABES.
Society In Columbia to Care for
Helpless Infants.

Helpless Infants.
The News and Courier OF Friday
prints special from Columbia which
says: Thanks to recent revelations
by the Salvation Army as to the pres
ence among negroes here Of many
white children abandoned by their
parents, there was meeting In the
parlOrs OF the Columbia Hotel Thurs.
day evening for the purpose Of organ
iz!ng society whose object shall be
the rescue OF those needy white child.
rem who cannot now for one reason or
another, be received In the regular or.
phanages.
ALI interested In saving such child
rem to useful manhood and woman,
hood were asked to be present. Mr..
W. b. Streeter, representative OF
the National Children's Home So
ciety, OF which Dr. Charles Hender-
son, Of the University Of Chicago, met
those interested at this gathering and
explained In detail the plan of opera
tion.
How great is the need for such an
organization, not only In the city, but
In the country districts few people
outside OF police and orphanage cir.
cles real %. Tlc regular orpnanages
may receive only the children of re-
spectacle parents; yet among the ne
grocs and the red light" element of
every city, as recent investiga tions by
the Salvation Army here have shown,
there are dozens Of children, capable
Of development into useful mon and
women, born in shame and cast cff as
impediments by their unnatural pa
rents. The society is non sectsrian
and Is supported solely by voluntary
gifts. 1t seeks the cooperation Of all
good citizens.
Its child placing depar 5ment, per.
haps the most important, certainly
the department. most needed for 90.
lumbia's present conditions, operates
somewhat as follows: 1t receives
homeless children, after careful Con.
sidoratlon Of each case; selects homes
on recommendation OF the local au-
thorities, after visit by an expert
enced agent; supervises children, after
placement, by correspondence and by
visit from officers OF the society; en-
ploys State superintendent to be.
friend, receive, place and visit chill
dren, also collectors; transfers chill.
dren from the homes first selected, t
necessary. The society goes about
its work In practical ways.

The first count0r movement in the
railroad fight that seems immenent'
since arriniar has gained control OF
the Milwaukee q st. Paul comes in the
announcement that the Northern Pa
cific win build $50 miles in Montana,
first with the idea of shortening the
route from st. Paul to Seattle and next
to invade the territory which the Mil
waukee hopes to control. Another
step in the same direction would be an
announcement of the immediate con-
struction Of the Missoula cutoff via
the Clearwater and down the Snake

THE PURE FOOD LAW,

! The new pure food law goes into eff
feet january !. According to its pro-
visions, old labels may be used on
adulterated foods until October /.
1907. but there must also be "sttcker''
naming all the Ingredients of the pack
age. This sticker must tell the abso-
lue truth about the contents Of the
package or can. II the French" peas
were grown in America this fact must
be plainly stated. II the maple" syrup
y made Of corn, the additional sticker
must proclaim the deception. Deviled
meats. spices. everything must be true
to name pr. Il the packages are old.
must bear the supplemental stickers.
The retail merchant viii be respon-
sibte for the purity Of the goods he
offers for sale. The manufacturer and
the wholesale dealer must also guar
artee the purity Of the contents OF each
package affected by the new law. It
unexpected that the manufacturer will
use great care. as It would injure him
more than It would the retailer to
have one Of his packages condemned.
These provisions apply, Of course. to
articles Of food which are made in one
state and sold IN another. Idaho al
ready has pure food law and has es-
tGDlfshed better conditions than pre-
vail in many Of the states In the
Union. But this will enable the state
board to better safe guard the food
products sold here. II the law Il
stringently enforced the adulterated
foods will be successfully driven from
the market and the interests Of all thu
people subssrved BY the action Of tn
law.
