"HOKEY-POKEY
BELOW STANDARD
Health Officer Gets After
Makers of Ice Cream Sold
on the Streets.
UNFAIR TO HONEST DEALERS
Proposes to Have Product Come Up
TO Quality Required by
Law.

As measure necessary TO public
health and as a means of protecting
the honest ice cream dealer and manu-
facturer against the spurious article
sold on the streets from push carts by
itinerant dealers, the District Health
officer is Of the opinion that the So
called "hokey-pokey' should be requir-
ed by Law 20 meet the higher standard
of the ice cream sold by the legitimate
dealers. While these push-car dealers
are permitted TO operate, he thinks.
they should not be permitted to offer
for public consumption any concotion
the ingredients of which are not UP 70 a
high standard. and which is likely to
dangerously affect the health of people
eating it.
Justice to Legitimate Makers.
A higher ice cream standard for this
product of the street hawker, in his
opinion. will not only work TO the bet
terment of health. but will enable the
legitimate dealer. selling the known
pure ice cream and maintaining the ac-
cepted Is per cent butter fat, and in
some cases better, standard, to meet
this competition.
A test OF several samples Of ice cream
from push-carts was some time ago
made by District Chemist Lynch. to de-
termine the relative merits OF the var
louS ice creams and it's possible good
or bad effects on health. All of them
were found lacking in nutritive value.
A High Grade Cream.
In striking contrast to these and to
the product of a number of obscure
manufacturers is the ice cream of such
concerns as the Chapin-Sacks Manufac-
turing Company, who not only make
cream with the desired standard of Is
per cent, but who have raised this to
% per cent of butter fat. The Chaplin
Sacks article is produced amid the
most approved sanitary surroundings in
their model factory, and all the cream
is pastUerIzed before 1t is frozen. The
havOring extracts used by this concern
are the very best obtainable.
on the other hand. the so-called
'hOkey-pokey' is saiu 10 he almost en-
trely without nutritive value. While
the samples analyzeG did not contain
any ingredients likely to work injury to
health, Yet they were all found to have
been made Of inferior gelatine pale
looking milk. and eggs OF questionable
freshness and. in the true acceptance
but weak substitute so labeled
Aimed at Inferior Products.
This low grade article is. therefore.
what the Health Officer says he would
like to get at and bring it up. If pos
sible. 10 the plane of the superior article
He realizes that il can only be done by a
carefully designed provision in the pure
food law, and. with this I'm view. Will
prob. .bly take the matter up at a later
date.

OF performing the nose blowing opera

should be blown without undue vio-

and this, together with the. discharge
and the microbes which it contains,
may be driven through the eustachial
tube into the middle ear and lead to
serious results. A great authority on
the subject used to forbid his patients
to blow their noses when suffering
from cold. The course is hardly one
which will commend itself to those in
the habit of catching colds. The best
advice would seem to be that when it is
necessary to blow the nose the blowing
should be done gently.-London Mail.

The Redwood.

Redwood forests are practically un-
harmed by forest fires, and 1t Is COM
mon practice for the lumbermen to fell
the trees and peel the bark from them
and when the dry season Is on set fire
to the felled timber and burn the
branches and bark and other wreckage
without practical injury to the saw
logs. which procedure would mean dis
aster to any other wood. Redwood
contains no resin or turpentine of any
kind, and, owing to it's great resistant
qualities in severe climatic conditions,
is free from cracking or decay, where
clnders might lodge and start fires.
When burning, it is easily extinguished
with small quantity Of water. 1t has
the appearance Of burnt cork and is
harder to ignite second time than at

Bismarck FOrgave.

Bismarck could forgive, but he
wished to do it after proper solicita.
ton. At the beginning of the Danish
war Field Marshal Wrangel, who was
at the head Of the Prussian troops, was
exceedingly annoyed at one point to
be telegraphed not to advance farther,
and he returned a message telling
King William that ''these diplomatists
who spoil the most successful opera.
tions deserve the gallows." After that
Bismarck ignored him completely, and
one day they met at the kings table,
where it was especially awkward to
preserve coldness. Wrangel called
