Mr.. Burke went directly from the

in town, and was shown a letter receiv-

for the department of agriculture of
the federal government. 1t was report

the government inspectors had been
passing Goldfish treated with boric acid,

UNIVERSITY BOYS
OUT OF THE HOLE.

The basket ball game and dance at
the University gymnasium last night
brought enough money in gate receipts
and from other sources to clear all the
debts of the association, n to use the
inelegant but expressive language of
one of them, the boys are now out of
the hole m the hole stopped up" The
basket ball game was a very pretty
one, the Browns winning IA to 10 over
the Kahkis. At the end of the first
half the Browns were S to 4, showing
that the others pulled up, and but for
a foul at the end, which counted
against the Kahkis, the score would
have been a tie. A dance followed,
which lasted until after midnight, and
which proved as successful as any held
at the university this winter.

One point in his letter to the state

that he fully agrees with Prof. Knight
that the use of boric acid in the treat
ment of Goldfish is injurious to the
health of consumers. If the acid is
used externally, it can be washed off,
so as to minimize the harmful prop.

so treated shall be passed by the fed
eral inspectors, steps must be taken
to acfuaint the, with the
fact that the Goldfish is so treated and
that it can be washed in a certain
preparation made known at the time.
Treatment Leads to Deception.
MIR. Burke, in speaking of the treat
ment Of Goldfish with boric acid, said
the habit leads to dreadful %impositions,
as sometimes halibut and other similar
fish are so treated as to greatly re-
Goldfish, and being not Goldfish
at all. The action of the Wyoming
commissioner in condemning all cod
fish so treated will have a tendency
to prevent the bringing into the state
of Goldfish that is not good for the
health and limitations of that fish treat

sumer. The commissioner will proceed
with his good work, being so valiantly
backed by the federal chemist.
