NOT UP TO STANDARD
Pickles Purchased at Burlington
Fail to Stand Test.

The first prosecution in this section
of the state for the violation of the
provisions of the state pure food law
passed by the Thirty-first Assembly
and later amended by the Thirty-sec-
ond Assembly, was started Saturday
evening, when H. r. Wright, of Des
Moines, State Food and Dairy Com
missioner, through County Attorney
John G. Williams, swore out two infor.
nations against the Burlington Vine
gar and Pickle Works, one of the larg'
est factories in the state.
State Food and Dairy Commissioner
H. r. Wright, whose mission it is to
see that the pure food law is not VIC
lated by dealers, last week came into
the city incog and visited several 10
cal business houses, among them the
meat markets of ]. M. Fehd and w
Fitzpatrick, on West High avenue. Al
the last two places he found quality
of sweet pickles. He secured samples
of both and returned to Des Moines
where they were analysed and were
found to contain sacharrine. He i'm
mediately had informations sworn out
and sent them here to County Attorney
John G. Williams, to be served. The
hearing has not yet been set.
The swearing out of the informationi
came as surprise to local dealers
who purchase goods from the Burling
ton Vinegar and Pickle Works. The
concern is one of the best known fac
tories in Burlington. The proprietors
of the meat markets where the pickles
were secured are in no way to blame
as they purchased the goods from the
concern under the guarantee that they
were in accordance to the pure food
law. However, they, too, can be made
party to the suit If State Food Com
missioner Wright says so.

Christian Church.

Rev. Zendt's subject for the morn
ing discourse was christian Love-" a
subject very closely akin to Christian
Unity" the theme of last Lords day.
Christian love will make Christian I'M
ity possible. Jesus said: "A new COM
mandment | give unto you, that We
love one another" 1t was new be-
never went out in sympathy for any
one, but person who was a member
of the family or clan to which they
belonged. Translators tell us that
there is no word in the heather
tongue for love, home and family and
spiritual and moral virtues. Love for
all humanity was an entirely new
conception to the world as Jesus found
1t. Hence Jesus often repeated the
necessity of an affection that was
broader than the family or the nation.
He said all the law is fulfilled in this.
love thy neighbor as myself" Again,
greater love can no man have than
that he give his life for his friend"
Feudal love arrayed men against each
other and provoked perpetual warfare.
The love of Christ is above and more
far-reaching than the family, the clan
or the nation. 1t is as broad as hui
manity. This is not simply an ideal,
but is attainable to every child of God.
John says, "he who says he loves God
and hates his brother is liar" 1t
is virtue that is not attained without
effort. A regenerate human heart is
the soil in which it grows. S. II. Had
Ley and Jerry McCauley are wonderful
instances of its power. Read of the
self-denial, privations and almost dis
pair OF the early Christians, as well
as our present missionaries on for
eign fields. They see lost humanity
as God sees them. The pastor closed
his fervent address with an exhorta-
ton to his people to have fervent love
among themselves Two persons re-
sponded to the invitation, uniting with
the church by letter.
