FRENCH HYGIENISTS MAY
STARvE PARIS TO DEATH

PARIS, March 20.-After prohibit
ing tea, coffee and chocolate on the
ground that they encourage govt,
French hygienists have now placed the
ban on milk. What is sold as such is
said to be concoction not to be rec
ognized by any self-respecting cow.
In the case of the genuine article
which is declared hardly to exist-even
if the COW is not suffering from tuber-
culosis, its milk has been contaminated
by the hands of the milkmaid.
One specialist insists on the neces-
sity of tooth brushes for cows, whose
mouths are "veritable hotbeds of mi
crobes.
Following the example of Professor
Metchnikoff. the eminent biologist,
many Frenchwomen now refuse to eat
fruit unless it has been cooked or
washed in sterilized water. Toilet
water is only considered safe after hav-
ing been boiled two or three times, and
the bath should be purified by
flame
Servants who wait at table should, it
is urged, wear glasses, which are boiled
after each meal and dried by hot air in
order to avoid all risk of contamina-
ton for the guests, and they should,
after washing their hands with soap
and boiled water, cleanse them in al
cohol
All animals must be banished from
the house if hygiene is to be regarded.
Even the canary is considered capable
of communicating contagious diseases.

were caught and the silver was found
on them. At the police station NJ
Courteline asked for his silver.

it is out of my power to return it to
you until the thieves have been duly
sentenced.
Courteline laughed. But they are
all my forks and spoons, = he said

the police commissary; ''the law is for
NAL. But there is one way out of the
difficulty. If the burglars allow you
to do so and give their formal consent,
you may take away your silver
Courteline presented each burglar
with $3.50 for having been kind enough
to rob him, and took his forks ana
spoons home with him.
Warning to Americans.
The days are growing longer and for
eigners are coming TO Paris again. 1t
is time. therefore. for warning Ameri-
cans against the danger after dusk of
the Bots de Boulogne. In spite of all
that has been said and written, the
Bots de Boulogne is insufficientlv
lighted and insufficiently guarded, and
numbers of malefactors make it their
haunt AS soon as the spring comes.
Recently a man was arrested for de-
liberate highway robbery in the Bots.
He was armed with two revolvers. I'm
fortunately his case is not an isolated
one, and in few weeks there will be
large numbers of complaints at the
Paris police stations of watches stolen
and of assaults in the Bots. In the
daytime the Bots is safe; but it is any
thing but safe after nightfal, and
there have been eases of late where
even people in cabs have been stopped
and robbed.

Red Tape in Paris.

has gone back to America, and did not
appear to prosecute. Under these cir

French law has its peculiarities. The
thief was asked to sign paper ask
ing for the restitution (the word is the
official one) of the bicycle, which never
belonged to him at all, and it now
becomes his property.
But still more absurd case of of

Z. JUDSON BACK FROM
WEST.
Thinks the Commissioners Sal
aries Should be Raised.

Engineer Commissioner Jud-
son returned this morning after
trip to the middle west for the
benefit of his health, and de-
elares that he now feels as "fit
as a fiddle"
"a lot of things seem to have
happened around the District
building while l have been
away" remarked Maj. Judson.
He declared that he sincerely
regrets the prospective loss of
his two colleagues, Commits
siOners Macfarland and West.
He understands, he added, that
in Justice to themselves and
their families neither Mr.. Mac
farland nor Mr.. West can af-
ford, for financial reasons,
longer to serve the District.
1t is the belief of Maj. Jud-
son that the compensation OF
the Commissioners should be
raised so that good men, when
secured, can be induced to re-
main in Office.
II think the District will be
fortunate, indeed" he added,
''if it can secure as their sue
eessors gentlemen as upright,
as earnest and as devoted to
their work as have been MIR.
