THAT good work being done by Dairy
and Food Commissioner j. O. Emery is
timely and valuable is shown by the ex-
periences in other states. Arkansas ex-
perience with adulterated foods is very
much in line with that of Wisconsin, be-
ing, if anything little more discourage
ing. The states's experiment station
collected in the open market 354 samples
of canned vegetables, fruits, catsups,
dairy products, jams and jellies, baking
powders, vinegar, soda water, syrup, ETC.,
all of which we're examined analytically.
A tabulation Of the results shows that
Al per cent, or nearly one half of all the
samples examined, were either adulter-
ated or sophisticated. The Minnesota
state dairy and food commissioner in a
recent report of examinations made
under the state pure food law, show that
out of nearly $4,000 samples analysed
fully one-third were illegal. The annual
report of the Ohio dairy and food com
missioner is very much in the same vein.
The total number of samples examined,
which included condiments, beverages,
dairy products, spices, favoring extracts,
drugs, etc, amounting in the aggregate
to 24OO, show fully one-third to be adul-
terated or sophisticated. Prosecutions
were instituted on 1872 adulterated ar
ticles. The state food commissioners of
Illinois in his last annual report finds
similar deplorable conditions to exist in
that state, Notwithstanding the stringent
pure food laws. In the total number of
foods examined almost 40 per cent. were

OF THE 120 Wisconsin cities with pub
lie water supplies, fifty obtain water
from artesian wells. According to the
usual standards of purity all artesian
we'll waters are good. The general OBJ
lection to them is the hardness of the
water The geographical distribution of
hardness of Wisconsin waters has been
found to follow that of the surface dis
tribution OF the limestone rocks. The
hardness is Of two kinds, permanent and
temporary. The former is caused by the
presence of calcium and magnesium sui
phate, and the latter by the carbonates
of calcium and magnesium. These salts
are dissolved by the water running over
or through the rocks or through the soil
containing decomposed limestone. The
hardest waters are found along Lake
Michigan, where the limestone forma
tion5 predominant in area, and are also
greatest in thickness.

A NUMBER of important Recommended
tiOns have been adopted which, it is be
lieved, will eliminate entirely all ten.
dency to professionalism in collegiate
and Intercollegiate athletics. Hereafter
it IS to be the policy to treat particle
ton in athletics at the university as a
privilege which may be withdrawn either
from the whole team or from dny indi-
vidual member if such withdrawal seems
to be for the best interests of the univer-
sity. No student will be permitted to
take part in the Intercollegiate athletics
until he has attended the university for
whole year and shall have completed
successfully one years work, in addition
to meeting the entrance requirements of
the college of letters and science. Here
after students shall be permitted to par
ticipate in intercollegiate athletics for
only three years in the aggregate, and
participation shall DO confined to stu
dents who have not graduated from any
department of any college or univer-
sity. Before every intercollegiate con-
test, the proper university official shall
issue certificate of eligibility for each
member of the team, indicating that he
has passed all the entrance requiem ents:
that he has passed all the intervening
work as regularly required in the uni
versity for the period involved; and that
he is taking full work in the semester
during which the contest takes place.

The Watertown Republican presents
the following indictment against the

l. Party organizations and principles
are practically lost.
2. Combinations and deals of even a
more dangerous kind than under the old
caucus system are possible.
g. 1t gives a democrat an opportunity
to interfere with the affairs of the re-
publican or social democratic parties
and vice versa.
4. 1t makes it posi- ole for one party
to dictate the nominations of another
party and put either the weakest or the
strongest man 10 power IS it sees fit.
5. 1t necessitates two strenuous cam
paigns instead of one. 1t deprives the

suits.
