Meanwhile the musical world taken
by storm, did nothing else but discuss

the second performance OF Carmen"
was to be given, there was no getting
near the opera house at all. and every
scat that could be booked was sold
on the day when the performance was
announced.

 To Live a Hundred Years Pick Out .
 Healthy Trade. Chicago Tribune.
 It would seem ae if every worker would look for a healthy trade. be- cause in the opinion of many young people forced to go out and earn a living and rhelp tho folks at home" 1t ig bad enough to be compelled to work. without killing yourself at the same time. Yet how many workers stop to think of that when they go out looking for their first Jobg And if they get started at some unhealthy trade they usually keep at if until the Inevitable end comes. They are broken down before their time and lose years Of their lives.
 A little 1B-year-Did Norwegian girl in Chicago went to work not long ago In some kind of a feather factory. She was handling the wings and skins and bodies of birds saturated. with arse. nic.
 "Isn't the work unheaIthyr' her mother was asked
 ''Yes. maybe" she said indifrerentiy. 'But Olga woTks there. She got the place for Olga.
 And yet that mother loves her chill dren and devotes her life to their com fort and we'll being. She has another daughter in8a clothing factory. where all summer long the girl is handling cheap and not too clean cloth, making heavy overcoats. breathing the lint and dust stooping above the dyed and musty garments
 Of course, somebody must make the matches, polish brass and do other unwholesome work. It Ia part of the worlds task. If parents understood, however, and taughs their children to shun unhealthy trades the scarcity of help would cause the employers to raise wages. Then the hazardous worker at least would be able to live more comfortably while life and health lasted No doubt the reluctance of girls and boys to go into periIous occu- pations would do more than the most efacient factory inspection laws to clean up the workshops and make surroundings more pleasant and whole some.
 Some work, however actually pro- longs life and health. Coal tar dye is a menace when used as a coloring matter for food. but it's manufacture is said to be one of the best and health lest trades in the world.

BOARDS ORDER
AFFECTS DAIRIES
STRICTER REGULATIONS ARE
IN FORCE
No More Cows Can Be Kept on City
Lots Where Sanitary Arrange
ments Are Not About
Perfect

The board of health yesterday put
pressure on more dalrymen to live up
to the milk inspection regulations to
the letter.
One dealer, A. Gillun, was on trial,
but having promised to lay cement
floors and make other improvements
he was told his milk license would be
restored to him as soon as the inspector
reported his place in fit condition Mrs.
H. Wilson was also cited to appear for
violations of the milk regulations.
The board will make another trip
through the dairles before long to note
how the dairymen are complying with
the law. There will be no let-up dur
ing the Harper administration as long
as the present health board sits, its
members say.
One important change yesterday in
the rules makes 1t a serious offense
for a milking place, stanchion or milk
house to be within 100 feet of an open
cesspool or vault.
This applies only when milk is sold
outside. AS there are hundreds of sin
gle COWS in Los Angeles kept on fifty
foot lots by families this will shut
down on the owners selling milk in
these cases, unless the lot is over 100
feet deep and the milking is done near
the building line.
