chemistry of foods and food legisla-
ton:
A few words concerning the nation
Al food law which went into erect
January ] and the general method OF
ITS enforcement, may prove OF some
III -eiest to the trade, and to the gen
ersl public.
Although much has been written
relative to the law and its application,
there is still so much misunderstand-
ing and misconceptiOn that two facts.
at least, need to be emphasized:
First the national law does not in
any sense either replace or abrogate
state food laws. but is rather supple
mentary to them. States must con-
;inue to administer their food laws
through the proper officials, but these
officials will be greatly aided in their
work of protecting the consuming pub
lie by the operation of the federal
law
Second, the federal law applies
only to such articles of food and
drink as enter interstate commerce.
State and Federal Laws.
AGulterated food of the grOssest
kind may be manufactured in any
state and so long as it is sold to con-
hn of h n
state the federal law cannot take cog
uizance of it; but if a single package
OF such food should be shipped to an
other state the federal authorities
then have basis for an action. 1t
therefore follows that state food Off
Gals can. through the operation Of
the federal law. reach outside manu-
faCturerS of adulterated foods whom
thcy have heretofore been unable to
reach through the medium of state
laws
Food products entering interstate
commerce. therefore. become subject
TO the operation of the law of the
state in which they are manufactured
and also to the federal law. Because
OF the adequate protection thus af-
forded the consumer very radical inn
rrovements in certain classes of food
products will doubtless be speedily
realized.
Rules for Enforcement.
The enforcement of the federal law
* entrusted TO the secretary Of 3prj-
culture. In performing this very re-
sponsible work he is assisted by two
commissioners. One is authorized by
Section 8 of the law, which provides
that the secretaries of the treasury,
commerce and labor and agriculture
shall make uniform rules and regula
ions for carrying out the provisions

OLYMPIA. Jan. 81. (SpeciaD-The
second week of the legislature opened
this morning after a recess since Fri
day.
withstanding the loud talk of
the opening OF the session about econ
0my and the movement which was
sprung in the senate to cut the ses-
sion down to 40 days, the first week
passed with less business transacted
than might have been disposed of in
two or three hours by country de-
batting society. The total time spent
in session during the week was about
seven and a half hours in the house
and five hours in the senate. The
principal cause of delay was the fail
ure of Lieutenant Governor Coon and
the speaker of me house to announce
their committee appointments until
member of either house felt free to
make a move or declare himself on
any issue until he knew that by do
ing so he would not jeopardize his
chances for a place on his favorite
committee. Although nearly 100 bills
were introduced, none o. them have
been considered owing to the fact that
the committees were not organized.

From the Nca York Tribune.

a valuable Inheritance of-blue eyes and
light hair which, without too great a

"Of the great number of requests re-
ceived by charitable institutions Of this

the inheritance of such coloring is a sort
Of open sesame to a good home. This
curious prediction was much more
marked ten or fifteen years ago than
now, but il still crops up occasionally and
is certainly an interesting trait"
The figures and letters obtainable at
charitable institutions contain informa-
ton CorrObOrative of this statement. For
instance. I'm the records of the New York
Juvenile Asylum, an institution which for
the last fifty years has given a real home
and useful training to some 10000 chill
dren who would otherwise have grown
up in the slums and has placed 5000 Of
them in outside homes, mostly in the
West. there is a multitude Of letters ask

OF course, a brunette complexion is no
handicap to the child for which the ju-
venile asylum is striving to get a square
deal. But those who wish TO adopt light
haired children general specify on this
particular. since on other points the judg-
ment of the asylum authorities is regard
ed as sufficient.
One man who has long watched the
work of this and other institutions of a
similar kind insists that the psychology
of a selection is simple. According TO his
theory, the West, where a real chance
is found for many of the children, has a
population made up in large part of set
tiers from Northern European countries.

the prevailing type Naturally enough.

 New Orleans. Jan. 2s.-Futurcs In Ltver- pool appear heavy. Due to points higher. they showed only to points gain when our market opened. Spots on the other hand show strength, total sales are increased to 10. 900 at one point advance.
 Features of interest on our side today were the steadness of New York where large short lines are still reported covering and the increased trading in new crops Eu- rope is buying or trying to buy new srcp futures in our market. The difference De- tween March and October has the past fort-- night narrowed down to about 2s points.
 Tendency and circumstances are in favor of close approach and even premiums tn time for new crop over the old. This de- snand and strength of new crors is the prin- eipal inducement towards covering of shorts in near positions and it is feared that the feast unfavorable news during the ,yt two months wo1ld stimulate the market in nsw crops and thereby sustain the old. The spot market is quiet but firm. list of 1.Se0 low erades was old this morning. Trading in fu'ures is more active ana the market steady at the advafca.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND psopucE.

Chicago, Jan. 2s.--Lower prices for wheat at Liverpool and more favorable conditions in this country for the fall sown crcp weakened the local wheat market today. At the close wheat fer May delivery was off $ &c. Corn was shade lower. oats were down Hc. Provisions were io02oc higher
 Despite continued small receipts in the Northwest the wheat market was weak Ill day. and offerings by local longs and com mission houses were liberal. The demand selling pressure was a decline of h@ &d in the price of wheat at Liverpool which was due. it was said. to a reported settlement of the strike in Argentine. The market was also depressed by reports from the Southwest that the growing crop is fow partially protected by snow.
 The market received it's principal support from shorts. The close was weak with prices near the lowest point of the day.
 May opened < O hc lower at 7sbc to 7SA sold between 77Ac and 7S1< o ase and closed at 77B @7sc.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to s474oo bushels The amount of bread stuff on ocean passage decreased ss.0o0 bushels and the visible supply decteased 72s,00o bushels. Primary receipts were 1884, o00, against 7s1.0e0 for the corresponding day last year.
 Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 321 cars against 3s5 last week and b1+ a year ago.
 The corn market held steady al, day. but the volume of trading was small. Cash houses sold freely but all offerings were readily taken by shorts and commission houses. The market closed steady
 May opened a shade to hc lower at 45Sc sold between A5Mc and 45%o and olosed at 45Mc.
 Trading in the oats pit was fairly active, local longs disposing of considerable rain. The chief depressing factor was the weak ness Of wheat. although indications of an increased movement caused some ceiling.
 May opened Bc to Ac lower at 3Sc to sshc, sold off to 37sc and closed at s71 o 3Sc. Local receipts were 151 ears.
 Provisions were strong. on a lively de- mand by shorts and local packers The chief reason for the strength was the live hogs were in good demand, selling over S7. %. At the close May pork was up 20c at s16.s2h. Lard was up i0c at ss.75@ s9.77M. Ribs were I5@17hc higher af 8. 50.
