Has Accomplished Considera-
BILE Toward Bringing About
Pure Food Conditions.
LOCAL PHYSICIAN ACTIVE.
DR.. T. HENRY DAVIS, AS A MEM
BER OF THE STATE BOARD, HAS
BEEN IN THE FRONT RANK OF
THOSE WAGiNG THE WAR.

The city and the county both may
have general pure food regulations
through which the general health Of
the public is protected. They may
wage unceasing and bitter wars
against food adulteration after in
quiring into the conditions: they may
require the milk men to do this or
that, they may require the butchers to
get inspection, they may require bet
ter sanitary conditions in the grocer
les, along with number OF other
things which contribute to the health
of the people, but their efforts are in
significant to the work of the state,
and it is largely through the state that
the city and town governments can en-
force their rulings. who is behind
the state legislators who frame and
perfect these laws?'' is the natural
question which arises, and the answer
invariably is, THE state board of
health There is one man in Rich
mond who has played an important
part in the past few years in perfecting
the health laws of the state, and aid
ing toward their effectiveness, and
that man is no other than DR.. T. Henry
Davis. the present president of the
state board of health. Many are the
rules now effective which make the
druggists, grocerymen, dairymen and
manufacturers of food stuffs toe the
mark along pure food lines, which
have origin with him.
Waging Bitter War.
The state board of health is now
waging an unceaSing and bitter cam
paign against all manner of food adul-
terations, and at it's instigation, suits
can be brought against any manufac-
turer or dealer who in any way in
fringes on the pure food regulations
laid down recently by the state board
of health. The pure food laws of In
diana, although doing some good, have
never been as strong as they should
be, and the recent legislature empower
ed the state board of health to make
rules for the enforcement of the pure
food acts and to regulate the minimum

dunn of prosecution. 1t has been found
that adulterated food. lowers the vital
ity and makes the human system sus-
ceptible to disease, but does not direct
ly bear disease germs to the system
as is generally believed.
Rules Are Strict.
The rules laid down by the board
of health are strict and the law recent
ly passed authorizes a fine and even
Imprisonment for violation of these
rules repeatedly. The first offense for
violation carries with it fire of not
less than $40 nor more than $50; for
the second offense fine of not less
than $50 nor more than 500 and for
the third and subsequent offense,
fine of S1OO and Imprisonment in the
county Jail not less than thirty nor
more than ninety days.
Although the food conditions in In
diana are bad at present, it is safe to
predict that inside of one year, through
the efforts of the state board of health.

standards of foods and drugs, defining
specific authorizations and declaring
the proper methods of collecting drugs
and articles of food. and as the result
Indiana's pure food ard drug laws will
really mean what they were intended
to mean in the future. THE state board
of health has long been a deadly foe
to food and drug authorizations and the
idea originated in the legislature that
if the power Of inspection and franz
ing of rules which should govern the
food products used in Indiana. was
placed with the board. greater good
could be accomplished along these
lines

Systematic Plan Followed.

As a whole the most recent pure food
law is along the lines of the national
law and appropriates ST. 1000 annually
for enforcement of the measure and
corrects many of the flaws in the old
law. The state board of health now
has 1t in, its power TO enforce the meas
ure and 1t is certainly going about it in
a systematic way. Owing TO the large
amount the state has set aside for the
enforcement of the law the board has
divided the state into four districts ov-
er which competent and good salaried
men have been placed TO carry on in
veStigations.

Inspector Visits Richmond.

Each of these inspectors. since the
last meeting of the board three weeks
ago, have been visiting various towns
In his respective territory and samples
OF milk, drugs, canned goods and all
other food stuffs are taken, after which
they are sent into the state laboratory
where an analysis is made. If impure
stuffs are found, and the owner or pro-
ducer takes no stand for improvement
of his goods, the prosecutors of the
state will be notified and they will pro-
ceed against the violators.
One of these inspectors has already
visited Richmond, and visited the
slaughter houses where he has made
recommendations. He has taken sam
pies of groceries and drugs, and also
secured samples of milk from twenty
different daries furnishing milk to the
people of Richmond. All these sam
pies are now being, or have been ex-
amined in the state laboratory, and
results will be published in the course
of the next few weeks. Visits to
Richmond will occur often, that the
inspector in charge of this district
may see that his orders are being obey
ed. Not even the smallest hamlet in
the state will escape similar visits and
they will continue indefinitely.
Up-to-date inspectors appointed to
the various districts, have found bad
conditions according to the statements
of DR.. Davis. who is in position to
know Of what he speaks. The greatest
adulteration has been found in grocer
les and products handled by grocery
men. especially in jellies and other fam
cy articles handled generally in gro
Gerry stores. Vinegar is bad while many
of the wines are said to never have
seen grape.

Hats That Match.

Hats that match in color are the
correct choice, and these may be OF
velvet or of felt. Where the latter
material is used the trimmings are
usually of velvet to match the coat.
Ties Of soft satin ribbon that sur
round the crown and fall at the back
in long ends that are either allowed
to hang down or are Rnotted under
the left ear are seen IN some Of the
smarter hats.
There is more shapliness in little
girls hats than in those of their older
sisters. Crowns are moderately high
and brims moderately wide. Poke
shapes and felt Topped to produce
Dutch bonnets."
Where the fur trimming is used the
hat is often a tricome of the same
fur with a stiff brush aigrette or
quilts stuck through the material.
For more conservative tastes cloth
in plain colors or in stylish mixtures,
with collars, cuffs and buttons of vel
vet, or braided cloth in contrasting
color, are shown in many pretty
styles.

SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT

The Grewsome Statistics of Crime
Due to Drink Fail to State to
What Extent Treating" is Re.
%sponsible.
"Only for the fear that I might be
put down as insane by people who
did not appreciate the situation"
said a man recently at a boys club
meeting, II would make places for
my boys in the business which I have
established conditional on their sol
emn promise not to treat and not to
allow themselves to be treated"
If this man, who seems to have a
horror for the treating system, is an
American, he has probably cen the
practice, which may have had it's
origin in good fellowship and hos
pitality. degenerate and result in
buster, intemperance and extrava-
gance. If he is a European, he may
have been educated in a place where
men never think of paying for what
other men eat or drink, and would
resent as an insult the efforts Of any
man to pay for them.
Foreign or American, the man Is
far from being insane, and the fact
that anti-treating societies have been
in existence in many parts of this
country and that an anti-treating
campaign is now going on in New
England, shows that some people do
appreciate the situation" The
grewsome statistics recently pub
lished which show the number Of
homicides committed in the United
States in the last year, while giving
drink" as the cause of many muir
ders, say nothing as to how much the
treating system did toward the
crimes. That it was a potent factor
Is beyond doubt. and drunkenness
and the crimes which follow in It's
wake will always be the results of the
unreasonable system which causes
some men to drink to excess and to
spend money beyond their ability in
order to get even" with other men.
Years before the organization Of
the boys club to which the anti-treat-
ing discourse was delivered a popular
clergyman who had devoted much
time to the cause of temperance said,
in drawing comparisons between the
men who drink what they wish and
pay for it and those who r forced
to drink because of the treating prac-
tice: For one class the dangers of
drink become less, and for the other
they "are intellectually greater"

The Source of Unhappiness.

Se%1f-centred life is everywhere the
great disturber Of human happiness.
It defeats itself and keeps its VIC
tins forever upon the rack.
, It collides with others interests,
and God is in its way. 1t destroys
the peace of the home.
It leads husbands to be Indifferent
or unkind to their wives, and wives
to regard their husbands only as the
chief of their own conveniences.
1t leads children to demand that
the whole of the family arrange
ments shall be managed with refer
ence to their personal pleasure.
It breeds social jealousies and
neighborhood quarrels; it breaks up
church choirs; scrambles for the
chief seats in the synagogues, and
sets church members to praying,
Lord, grant that we may sit on
Thy right hand and on Thy left in
Thy kingdom" 1t leads Diotrephes
to love the pre-eminence.
1t is to the credit Of the religion
of Christ that selfishness cannot live
in peace with IT'D. ". c. Hunting

Of effect, and the taffeta is an exceed
ingly desirable as well as exceeding
~ fashionable material for both
waists and gowns. There are, how
ever, a number Of variations that
might be suggested. The waist itself
suits any fashionable material adapt
ed to indoor costumes, while the
guimpe can be made Of lingerie ma
terial and unlined, or it can be made
Of lace and the sleeves unlined and
the silk cut away at the V shaped
portions if a transparent effect is de-
sired; or, again, it can be made of
some pretty thin silk while the waist
is of wool, and in this case can either
he lined or unlined as individual pre-
ference may determine.
The guimpe is a simple plain one,
| closed at the back and the fulness
| drawn down in gathers at the waist
line. Its sleeves are puffs of moder-
ate size, which are shirred to form
the frills at their lower edges and
there is a stock that finishes the neck.
| The over waist, or the jumper, is
made with fronts and back and is
cut out in shape at the shoulders,
while strips of the material stitched
with belding silk are arranged over
and under the edges of the openings.

Fancy Jumper Waist.

Every variation of the guimpe
waist is greatly worn, and this one,
known as the jumper, is a favorite.
1t is eminently simple at the same
time that it is eminently charming
and possesses the very great practi-
cal advantage of requiring very lit
tie material, so that it is exceedingly
useful for remodeling as. we'll as for
the new gown. In the illustration
the waist is made Of chiffon
taffeta trimmed with velvet, while
the guimpe is Of all-over lace
over thin India silk, the combination
being both effective and practical.
The foundation of the very thin silk
for the guimpe means that it Is just
thick enough not to be transparent

their upper edge, forming soft full

the seam being concealed by the trim

A Monstrous Idea.

The late President Benjamin Har-
rison, in a magazine article; wrote:
1.-The idea that a mayor or chief Of
police Is at liberty to permit any. law
or ordinance to be violated Is mon
strous. We choose executive officers
to enforce laws and not repeal u
pend them at their pleasure. It is
subversive of our system and de-
structive to our social order to allow
our executive officers to choose what
laws they shall enforce. What sort
Of a condition Of society would we
have If no man obeyed the law and
no officer enforced it unless he liked
it? To find fault with an officer for
enforcing the law is to repudiate our
system of government, and to vote
against a candidate because he is
pledged to enforce the laws is to as
sociate ones self with law-breakers."

II He Had His Way.

Judge McAuley, of Kansas City, In
committing a plain drunk" gave ut
terance to the following: IF I had
my way I would not only close every
saloon in the county Sunday and
week days, but I would stop the sale
of intoxicating liquor in any shape
or for any purpose whatever. I would
make it a crime to manufacture the
stuff. This may be far-reaching, but
the sentiment is justified by. the
sights and experiences in this court
room. Ninety-fve per cent. of the
cases tried here are the direct result
of whisky; and the other five per
cent. includes morphine and cocaine
fiends and a few petty grievances that
come before me for adjustment. The
woes that arise from the use of whis-
ky, the ruined men and women, the
broken families, the griefs and tears
all aired in this courtroom are
enough to turn gray the hair on a
buffalo robe"

The New Scarfs.

A woman in one of the new scarfs
certainly looks like a copy of a Civil
War belle. This effect is added to
by the dropping shoulders now in
fashion and the collarless blouse
which is in the highest favor for
house wear. For theatre it is not
only collarless, it is frankly low
necked. Not such a decollette as one
would wear to a dance, but quite a
little square. The finishing touch is
the stylish band of black velvet rib
bon now worn around the neck just
under the ears. This is caught with
a pearl brooch-the older the better.
