Inspector Frazier Sampling
Supplies Taken From Hotels
and Restaurants.
ASTONISHING RESULTS
FROM TESTS MADE
Food Resorts FlagraE. 4 Vio-
lating the New Pure
Food Statute.

Samples Of cream and milk taken
from the Salt Lake City restaurants
and hotels by w. j. Frazier, city food
and provision inspector, are being an
alyzed by Chemist Harms, and, al
though the analysis is still incomplete,
1t is evident that the results will be
astonishing. The cream tests were hn-
ished Wednesday, and in the nine sam
Piles there were four which tested be-
low standard Some were so fragrant
In their transgressIon Of the new pure
food law that the authorities are at n
loss In trying TO sound the motives of
the restaurant men IN whose possession
the Objectionable goods were found
While the recently adopted statutes
are more stringent than the old laws,
in thai the penalties which they pre-
scribe are moro severe, they are more
lenient in regard to the serving of milk
and cream in restaurants and hotels.
For instance, i'm the matter of handling
cream, the old laws prescribed that II
must test at least 20 per cent. while
according To the present law n must
test no less than Is per cent.
One of the samples analyZed Tuesday
tested > per cent, another 10 per cent,
n third, taken from local hotel, tested
Mt l3 per cent, and the fourth at 1910
per cent butter fat,
While making the rounds the lnspec-
tor secured thirteen samples of milk
from the restaurants, and these promise
even more astonishing results than the
cream tests They Will be finished
sometime today. Meanwhile, the Off
GERS are taking steps to prevent re-
currence of these trSnsgresslons. and 1T
may be that legal action will be insti-
tuted in some OF the eases.
Courting Discipline.
In order to obtain samples of the
milk and cream that was being served
to the patrons of the restaurants, Mr.,
Frazier approached the proprietors as
q customer Some refused To sell the
goods which they had on their coun-
ters. but attempted to substitute sam
pies direct from the dairy. 1t Is
thought that the highest test resulted
from ono of these substitute samples,
but in the other cases no substitutes
were accepted. One of the. restau-
rantonrs said that he did not fear pros
ecution, since he had right to give ms
customers any kind of milk or cream he
wished According TO this argument 1t
must be determined whether n customer
buys milk and cream when he pays for
his meal or whether these articles are
i'thrown inD for good measure.
The new law specifies that there shall
be three grades of cream, and the artl-
Gle bearing on the matter in hand con
cludes with the following;
ssThe minimum percentage OF the
third grade shall not he less than Is
per cent provided. that no person shall
sell cream containing less percentage
of butter fat than is represented. Inc
sale OF cream other than in conformity
with the foregoing standard is prohib-
tied. y
The penalty for violation of these
provisions is not less than 500, nor more
than $500.

A WATER WITCHER
How an Expert With Witch Hazel
Bough Works.

From Outing:
1t may be that his errand in the
nature Of cheerful gamble after other
resources failed, but the fact remains
that Mr.. Eastman was on the ground
equipped for business and that the train
waited upon his Investigations.
His outfit was simple. A friend, acting
as assistant ''witcher," carried a bundle
of freshly cut witch hazel boughs, trim
med in V-shaped branches, the leaves and
buds still on them. The two men disem-
barked.
Mr.. Eastman, stout, conventional as to
dress and looking as essentially practical
as veteran railroad man ought to ap-
pear, took one of the V-shaped witch
hazel boughs and tightly grasped the
plant ends in his two fists, holding the
point or crotch upright. Thus equipped
he moved sedately across the prairie. The
witch hazel remained upright for perhaps
80 feet. The crowd trailed in behind,
vastly curious. Presently the bough be-
gan to turn or waver. The inverted v
twisted slowly until it was parallel with
the earth or pointing straight out from
the bearer.
He slackened his gait and moved ahead.
while the telltale bough moved slowly
down until 1t was pointing toward the
soil. Now the water witcher" had It so
grasped that it was twisting in his fists
and the tender bark along the plant ends
was beginning to break, showing that
some force other than muscular effort was
pulling the bou6h toward the earth. When
it pointed straight down, he stopped and
heeled a mark in the grass.
Then he moved on, and very slowly the
branch began to rise, until at length it
had returned to the perpendicular in it's
original position. The vein Of water had
been passed, and the witch hazel was no
longer attracted.

REL. CHARLES : STEELE
!. ON SOCIAL PROBLEMS.
Adverse circumstances Are Not
Always the Occasion Of
Poverty.
The Gilded Halls of the Palace
Saloon q Contributing
Factor.

Nearly every city has it's slurn dis
trict. Internationally the: saloon has
much to do with its creation. At
tracing the most vicious element, it
becomes. the center Of every form of
his headquarters. Here the woman
Of the street finds her victims. The
dance hall. and the private drinking
rooms-the stalls-are patronized by
the depr2ved, who allure the innocent
and those who have become reckless.
The, cheap vaudeville show brings it's
quota. Then comes the Chinese res
taurant, with its shady reputation.
The pawnshop hangs out it's three
golden balls-emblems of wretched-
hess and despair: :: "Mlseums'' and
music halls blare out their blatant
sounds. Arcades and "odeons'' lend
their brill shrek r'
The cheap lodging .houe, filled with
victims from the surrounding dens,
adds its shadow to the dark picture,
for here are quartered the most mis-
cradle specimens Of humanity: down
next to the lowest step-the street,
or the river. Sometimes the .city's
morgue is in the midst of It. all, ready
to receive the wretches who have
come to the end Of their unhappy
lives. This Is the slum-the heart
| rending problem Of the city.
While poverty is always found in
the slun1. it is usually the poverty
| which comes through sin and weak
| ness rather than through adverse cir
! cumstances. Many a "barrel- house.
| bum was once a professional man in
good standing. Ex-preachers, ex-phy-
slc1ans, ex-lawyers and men of practi-
| cally every other profession are found
IN the slun1. Most of them reached the
| bottom through strong drink. Some
| are victims Of drugs. Oothers fell
| through sexual vices. Here are found
men and women who could not stand
the test Of LIES daily routine, and
| who, becoming tired Of work, and,
thinking that total lack Of RESPONSE
| bility either for themselves or for
others, would bring relief, drifted into
| the whirlpool which centers in the
slum of the city, from which the de-
'luded victims rarely escape. Begin

LONGING FOR COUNTRY LIFE.

A strange thing is the universal
longing of professional men and others
who have come to the city and have
prospered as they advance in life to
get back to the country. It is seldom
that they do return and when they
do there is often disappointment and
things do not appear as they did long
ago. The change is in the man him.

Nevertheless, fheI::desire to get back

days is very general. Sir Walter Scott
refers to it and compares the course

NOT THE RIGHT KIND

From the Hot Springs Sentinel:
Protested politicians who have reduced
public office to an exact science find
the Independent voter sad stumbling
block, fact which is amusingly disclosed
by a story found in the recent life of the
late George Monro Grant, the eminent
Canadian educator and clergyman. To-
ward the end Of Sir John Macdonald's life
he and Principal Grant, then the head Of
Queens college, met at dinner. at the
house Of the premier's brother-in-law.
Prof Williamson.

principal, that you would be a steady
friend of mine"

piled, II have always supported you when

Administration Stands Pat.
At last the president has broken 81
lence after many opportunities from
influential f%inanciers and captains of in
dustry to give the business community
"a reassuring word as to the policy of
his administration toward the great
railroad and other corporations in the
hope of restoring confidence. His ut
terance is in the form Of a letter to the
president of the Illinois Manufacturers
association, who had recently headed
a delegation to the White House to re-
quest the president to speak at Spring
field. The invitation to speak is de-
clined on the ground that the president
could not say anything new or different
from his past official utterances. In
other words, his attitude toward the
necessity of federal control Of the cor
porations had not changed. He makes
it plain that he will ask the next con-
gress to deal with the subject Of over
capitalization, but indicates that exist
ing stock and bond issues will not be
disturbed. Nor does there appear to
be any intention of forcing a physical
valuation of railway properties.
eryan's Change Of Views.
In a letter to Henry M. Whitney Of
Boston, w. j. Bryan gives his views on
railroad supervision, showing a change
in his original attitude on the subject.
The Nebraskan still believes in federal
and state ownership, but does not
think the people are ready for that. 1t
is not an immediate issue, such as gov
eminent regulation. He is sure that
whenever public ownership is adopted
the present owners will receive full
compensation up to their physical VAL
uation, and he is sure that the public
will see to it that the rates are such
as to pay a fair return on the actual
investment. He would have the CON-
merce commission fix the values.
Foraker's Challenge Accepted.
Charles P. Taft, brother Of Secretary
of War Taft, issued at Cincinnati a
fiat acceptance Of the challenge Of Sen
ator Foraker to a final combat for o n
troll Of the Republican electorate at the
primaries. Brother Charles says that
Taft's friends will make it a distinct
co~ntest-Taft for the presidency or
s%enatorship or Foraker for the presi-
dency or senatorship, it to be under
stood that the one not preferred by
the voters will be eliminated from the
political situation" 1t is insisted that
the contest is directly between the
friends and foes of President Roose-
Welt.
