Bulletin from the State Food, Dairy and
Drua Commission,

The Nebraska pure food law makes
it unlawful to sell bad eggs and pro.
vides a penalty of $40 to 500 for each
offense.
Section :, part sixth, defines food as
adulterated, IF it consist in whole or
in part of a filthy, decomposed or put.
rid animal or vegetable substance UNI
fit for food. and that means bad eggs.
1t is unlawful for the farmer to sell
bad eggs to the merchant.
II is unlawful for the merchant to
sell them to his patrons or to egg
dealers. 1t is a violation OF the nation
al law to ship them o. e state to anoth-
err. The law was passed in the interest
of honest dealing, and it is not honest
to sell bad eggs for good money. 1t is
reported that in some cases spoiled
eggs have been taken from the incu-
bator and marketed at the grocery
store when the producer thought the
buyer was toe busy to examine them.
1t is the duty of this department to
prosecute offenders whoever they may
be no matter whether producer or
dealer. The law is trying to protect.
not only the consumer who is entitled
to get honest food for his money, but
the honest producer and honest dealer
who is entitled to have his dishonest
competitors prosecuted and exposed
through publicity.
Nebraska hens are producing 90. OOC-
900 dozen eggs annually. These NJ.
braska eggs are worth three to tiv.
cents per dozen less than the highest
market price in New York, Philadel
phia, Baltimore on account of the low
grade they take in these markets by
reason of the dishonest and careless
mixing of bad eggs with the good.
Five cents dozen on 80, 900. 900 dozeI
eggs amounts to $4,000. 900.
by reason of this careless and dis
honest mixing of bad eggs with good
we lower the value of our annual out
put 81. 500, 900.
Does it pay?
The law is tIying to force Us as Il com
munity to bring Il product up to tn,
highest standard for our OWL good.

shall wear mourning (or some badge of
mourning until the danger i passed.
We want to go into all schools and
teach all the children there that un-
necessary wars are hell on earth"
and that those who bring them upon
the nations are even greater criminals
than pirates who commit murder IN
the ocean or highwaymen who commit
murder on the land.
We wan, no armies except those
needed for protection.
We want to substitute everywhere
for the devils music the music which
will help hasten .hc dawning of peace
on earth and good will not only to
men but to all Gods lower creatures.
We want to teach that the men WIG

who destroy it.
We want all the great picture gal.
leries of Europe to be strippedo Of those
paintings which stir up international
hatreds by commemorative the vic
tories of one nation over another.
We want the Are de Triomphc" "a

Let Il million Christian women o.
America, united in n great Anti.Wal

evidence to the growers of the alfalfa
that ncw uses are being found for the
crop that the meal is a most practical
food and its manufacture undoubtedly
means II greater demand and better
prices for alfalfa.
The location Of the alfalfa meal mill

Commercial club which is doing much
TO make it possible to manufacture in

opening of this mill September lst,
Omaha will have two such plants. the
ct,,r being the NJ. c. Peters Mill Go.
They will use about forty carloads OF
alfalfa every week and as they develop
the industry will doubtless use more
han one hundred ears u week-three
solid train loads.
Besides giving the growers a nearer
market for high grade alfalfa, the fac
tories located ut Omaha will make it
possible for those who desire to feed
the meal. which is especially a food
! for dairy cows. will be enabled to Sc
cure it more promptly and cheaper
than ever before as the freight rates
from Omaha are much less than from
the east. In locating the last factory
in Omaha it was the understanding
that nothing but the best Nebraska
and Colorado alfalfa would be used.

Do You Object to All Wars. Mr.. Ansell?

On, no. II the men who get up un
necessary wars would only fight all the
battles themselves with no suffering
to innocent human beings or dumb
beasts, we would not raise the slight
est objection. We should feel as the
old lady did who, when her husband
got into n fight with a bear. said she
didn't care which whipped. We should
feel more than that; for we regard
these men as the encmies of mankind,
the wolves of our tat present. half
civilized civilization.
Doubtless there may be las the world
