Delegate ]. Y. Owen, OF Prince Ed
ward. chairman OF the House Commit
tee on Agriculture and Mining has In
troduoed bill for this appointment OF
a state dairy ana food commissioner in
the Department OF Agriculture. The
general objects Of tho bill are the bet
ter enforcement OF existing laws to
prevent the manufacture or sails OF

additional laws regulating tho sale of
foodstuffs and dairy products. to I'M
prove the sanitary conditions OF bak-
cries. confectioneries. and all places
where foods are sold.
Adulterated foods ara not always
harmful. but they are always expen-
sive. When man purchases adul-
tcrated food FOR himself or his stock
he Is defrauded. because he does not
set what he has paid for. Such adul-
teration Is much the same thing as
watering stocks, only 1t Is q worse
evil, and more dangerous to the public.

approve the recommendations Of

the need Of additional destroyers and
colliers and. above all, OF the four bat
tleships. It is desirable to completeI

The North Dakota, Delaware, Florida
and Utah will form the first division
of this squadron.
most earnestly recommend that the
general board be by law turned into

excuse whatever for continuing the
present bureau organization of the

everything should be subordInated to

introduced.
Nothing better for the navy from
every standpoint has ever occurred

OF the ships in every way has been ex-
traordinary, and they have gained far
more experience In battle tactics than
they would have gained II they had

not believe that there is any other
service In the world in which the
average OF character and efficiency in
the enlisted men Is as high as is now
the case In our own. I believe that the
same statement can be made as TO our
officers. taken as a whole, but there
must be a reservation made in regard
to those In the highest ranks and in
regard to those who have just entered
the service. because we DO not now
get full benefit from our excellent
naval school at Annapolis.
