ANNOUNCEMENT OF GROCERS'
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION.
Will Fight Prosecution of Milkmen
Who Sell Product Guaranteed
by the Wholesale Dealer.

We are going to fight the prosecution
OF retail milk dealers who are arraigned
in this court as result of the health de-
partment complaints against them in the
sale of impure dairy products when this
product has in turn been purchased from
wholesale dealer with a guarantee that
i. complies with the standard. We pro-
pose to make this fact a bona fde de-
fenSe.
This was the announcement of Charles
Protective Association. yesterday. in conse-
quence Of the conviction of \. E. Dowell
retail grocer of 1000 street. Tuesday
before Judge Kimball in the Police oCurt
upon charge of selling milk containing
less than ga per cent of fat particles
The defendant, following the conviction,
was fined So. 1t was testified the milk
complained Of had been bought from a
wholesale dealer with the guarantee that
it complied with the legal standard
In completing the necessary prelimina-
ries to carrying the case to the higher
courts. Mr.. Diggs filed the requisite papers
with the court, which were duly signed
today
We are going to push this matter as
which will eXonerate US from the blame
Of selling milk of an impure nature or
under the standard which we buy in good
faith and under a guarantee declared
one Of the men interested in the matter
today. The Retail GrOcers' Protective
Association has taken il up with Mr..
Dowell. and both the organization and
the individual are going to fight it to
the bitter end
Ruling Of the Court.
During the hearing of the case there
was some question whether it should be
tried under the pure food and drug act,
under the provisions Of which a guarantee
could be reached legally, but the charge
was filed under the old law Of February II.
1898, which covered all the dairy product
violations until the passage Of the food
and drug act. This was done. 1t was eX-
planned, because there appeared to be no
nislabeling in the case.
The court ruled there was no provision
in the act of 1898 which made a guaran-
tee basis Of defense, and that the act
was absolutely independent Of the food
and drug act. AS a result the court ruled
the provisions of the latter did not affect
those of prior act.

SUDAN ARABS DUELS.
Where Pastoral Life Doesn't Always
Lead to Peace and Quiet,

The country to the southeast of
Tekar is the home of the Hasas; the
Iadendoas occupy the khors to the
south and the plateau to the south
vest. Both of these are black Arabs,
speaking different languages.
The Hasas live almost entirely on
sour milk, while the Hadendoas are
agricultural as well as pastoral. Their
lOkhn and durra, milletlike grains,
we're ripening in February and being
projected from countless swarms of
small birds by men who stood on ele-
rated platforms, from which they
tracked loudly large whips with palm
eaf lashes twenty feet long.
The dress of these Arabs is q cot
on sheet held in by belt in which
hey carry crooked knives. For other
weapons they use sticks, spears and
words. Firearms are prohibited.
Judging by the many scars borne by
he men the pastoral life is by no
means so peaceful as the poets would
cad us to think. Many of the scars
:ome from duels, in which the men
,tand face to face and cut each other
alternately in the back till one cries.
