Secretary Wilson of The de-
partment of agriculture is un-
doubtedly correct in saying that
American meats and meat pro-
ducts are superior to those pro-
duced in any other country.
Their quality moreover, will be
improved by the inspection act,
the rules for which have just
been promulgated by the secre-
tary. AS recent revelations have
shown some bad conditions in
the slaughter houses of England
Germany and Australia, our own
will have a decided advantage
over all the other concerns as
soon as the requirements of the
new law are fully met.
AS was to be expected, the
packers have cheerfully promised
to comply with all the terms of
the inspection act. 1t is to their
interest to assist the inspectors
in their work. The act will put
the national governments stamp
of approval on their products,
and this will give them pres
tige all over the world. There
has been a heavy falling off re-
Gently in the sales of American
meats and meat products abroad,
as compared with the same time
in 1905. Part of this is due to the
shrinkage in Japan's purchases
on account of the disarmament Of
a large part of her Manchurian
armies. Some of the decrease,
however, has undoubtedly been
caused by the recent exposure of
abuses in this country. This will
all be improved under the new
law, and the sales OF the Ameri-
can products abroad will soon
pass the highest records of 1905
or previous years.
But something is yet needed
to protect the American consum-
ers. The federal inspection law
covers meats for interstate and
foreign commerce. Those for To-
cal consumption are not touched
by that statute. State and mu-
nicipal regulations will be need
ed to supplement the national act
if all the people are to be guar
anteed wholesome meats. The
chances are that the reforms
made necessary under the ieder-
al law will operate in favor of the
local consumer as we'll as the
purchaser in other states and in
the outside world, but the state
and city lawmaking bodies
should move in the matter. In
food products of all sorts the re-
cent federal statutes, If properly
supplemented by local regula-
tons. give the American people
an important advantage over
those of any other country.

Motorists as well as pedestri-
ans will be interested in a recent
decision by the British Court OF
Appeal in a case involving the
application of the rule of the
road" A motorist had run down
and killed a cyclist, and jury,
under instructions from the trial
court, had awarded the widow
of the unfortunate cyclist SUBJ
stantial damages. On appeal
THE defendant contended that
the cyclist had been guilty of
contributory negligence, as he
ibid not seem to pay any atten-
ltion to the hooting of the motor
thorn. There was evidence, how
lever, that the cyclist had stop
ped to look and listen,' as he
had to cross certain tracks, and
possibly the anxiety regarding
trains diverted his attention for
the moment from the other
source of danger, the speeding
auto.
The Court of Appeal sustain
ed the jury's verdict, and the
lord chancellor took occasion to
remind the defendant and all
other motorists of the first prin-
ciples governing the use of 1.-THE
Kings highways The Lon
don press reports him as making
the following remarks:
Il desire to say this, that
when people are driving motor
cars or other vehicles on a pub
lie highway they have a duty to
remember that deaf persons, and
blind persons, and nervous per-
sons and children, and decrepit
old persons are just as much en-
titled to use the public highway
as they are. And if anybody
thinks proper SO to drive that
there is chance of serious con-
sequences from mistake of
judgment or a miscalculation on
the part of the driver, and those
consequences are not averted, he
will have to pay for it in dam
ages"
Here IS sterling sense and
simple justice. Reasonable speed
regulations are in order, of
course, but they are not every
thing. Motorists have rights,
and in providing for the safety
of the general public those
rights should not be overlooked.
The auto has come to stay-or
to run, rather-and we must all
accommodate ourselves to it. On
the other hand, this or that legal
limit to speed does not relieve
the autoists of their general
duty of reasonable care. They
must use common sense and dis
erection. They must bear in
mind that not every pedestrian
or cyclist is absolutely sound in
body and mind, and quick, alert
agile. The English lord char
cellor is entitled to the gratitude
of the aged, the infirm, the abb
sent-minded, and other large
classes of the population for his
admirable statement of the rule
of the road as it applies to mod
ern conditions. = indianapolis

NEW YEARS CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the oId-T ime
"AppIe-Jack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom of
making New Years calls was de-
lightful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more "egg-nog'
or 'apple-jack" than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to be
as chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
II anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last quarter of century in the use
of alcoohlic beverages, lie: him stop
to consider, among other things, the
fact that the old custom of New Years
calls and the genteel tipping is nearly
obsolete.
The custom of calling on ones
friends. however, at the beginning of
the new year, is a good habit, and an
other good habit to start at that time
is the use of well-made Postum In.
stead Of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has SEN
sible daughter who has set Postum
before her guests as a good thing to
drink at Yule Tide, and a good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:

Sounded Praises of Soap.

says that soap does not irritate the

plexions we have known have been
regularly washed with soap every day"

daily bath is now the rule rather than
the exception, and common sense has
triumphed over the decision that wash
ing was injurious" And then the
writer has a dig at her great-grand
mother, whose only additions con-
sisted in wetting her cheeks with a
