PURE FOOD LAW ENFORCED
EIGHT ADDITIONAL JUDGMENTS
IN FAVOR OF GOVERNMENT.
Local Milk Dealers in the List ALI
Guilty Except One-Cases
Elsewhere.

Eight additional judgments have been
rendered in favor of the Department of
Agriculture in the enforcement of the
pure food and drugs act These cases
include misbranding. aduteration and
underweight. Sixteen cases were COM
bned under one heading and were against
milk dealers in the District of Columbia,
who were charged with selling watered
product. In all of these cases samples
of milk were purchased under direction of
the health office of the District and sub
mitted to analysis. Where there was an
excess of water found the cases were
prosecuted in the Police Court.
All of the defendants were found guilty
except one, who proved that he had
bought his milk from dairy firm under
a guarantee as to it's purity. This case
was dropped and the prosecution contln-
ued against the firm giving the guarantee
as to the purity of the milk In all the
cases fines were imposed of from s. to
s25. Some of the defendants went to jail
for sixty days in default of the fine and
in case the sentence was suspended
on account of the ill health of the de-
PENDANT
Other judgments for the department
outside of the District included the case
of large shipment of wine which was
made of fernented deXtrose. with coloring
and f1avoring matter added There We're
also two shipments of evaporated apples.
one of which was under weight and the
other of quality inferior to the reading
of the label, and several cases of under
weight in canned vegetables. These
cases were of a numerous class that
the department has found in its prosecn-
lions where the weight stated on the can
was a few ounces over the real weight.
The fraud caused a very slight loss to the
consumer in each case, but amounted to
a large saving for the factory on its an
nual output
The judgments in favor of the Depart
ment of Agriculture under the law noted
have now reached a total of ninety, with
large number Of cases still pending.

GREECE REPLIES TO TURKEY.
Latter Proposes More Energetic De-
mand in Crete Trouble.

CONSTANTINOPLE, August 4.-Greece
has replied to the Turkish note presented
today. which. although couched in friend
" terms. practically demands the recall
of the Greek officers serving in Crete, to
the effect that the question is in the hands
of the four protecting powers of Crete.
with whose knowledge and consent the
officers in question were sent to the island.
Turkey is appealing TO the four powers.
and she intimates that her friendly re-
quest to Greece will be followed. unless
satisfaction is obtained, by more en-
ergetic demand.
The report that Turkey has dispatched
transports with troops on board to Crete
IS denied today, but it seems probable
that the Turkish fleet now maneuvering
I'm the neighborhood of Rhodes will pro-
coed 10 Cretan waters. In this event the
British admiral. Sir Douglas Gamble. in
Command of the fleet would hand over his
charge to Turkish admiral.

For two reasons. he says, the public
is apt to believe that sailors are a
thriftiess class. First, tradition is against
sailors. and, second, when before the
public they are usually seeking amuse-
ment.
That thrift is characteristic of large
percentage of the enlisted men of the
navy is we'll known to those who are
in position TO judge. Investigation
has shown that as class they compare
favorahly in this respect with men out
side the service. The government has
made special provisions to encourage men
in the navy to save. While the pubic
is aware that many large corporations
have provided means Ia so aid their en-
ployes few people know Of the steps
taken by Uncle Sam in the same dlrec-
ton.
Percentage of Savers.
1T has been ascertained that from
10 to ~ per cent of the employees OF
various corporations take advantage OF
savings systems established for their
use. Twenty-seven per cent of the en-
listed men of the navy save part of their
earnings. This high average is due to
the allotment system which the Navy
Department has maintained since the
early days of the navy. and the more
recently established deposit account kept
by pay officers of ships.
Through the medium of allotment oil
visions i'm the navy pay offices at New
York, Boston. Philadelphia. Baltimore
Washington, Norfolk and San Francisco
enlisted men are depositing money in
the best savings institutions in the coun-
try. A certain geographical division OF
the United States and territories is as
signed to each of these offices. and the
pay officers of ships are instructed to
make allotments payable accordingly.
las the system was established fol-
those who could not readily communi-
cate with their families and savings in
situations. only men serving afoat are
permitted to leave allotments. For this
reason but 5000 of the $1,000 men in
the navy have the privilege. The aver
age pay of an enlisted man is about $50
a month. Accordingly. the men af1oat
are receiving more than $12.0OO,00O an
nually.

Sailors Not Easy Marks. "

When ashore their time is limited
Consequently they spend more money in
less time than ordinary citizens would
for the same purposes; but that sailors
are spendthrifts or easy marks does not
follow.
THE public has its places of amuse-
ment always at hand. If sailors some
times overstep the mark while seeking
recreation. IL is not from desire to
throw away money. but because of their
lack of opportunity for diversion. and
the great freedom they feel away from
discipline and routine life. AS they have
certain punishment to face for every ex-
cess, and are rarely ashore. il is reason
able to suppose that the money they
waste Is relatively less than that squan-
dered by workmen in the same station OF
life. because Ne latter are not under
similar restraint

Crt,red by the department today. because
OF the skill necessary TO man a modern

Provision for Those Ashore.

THE Navy Department presumes that
the 10000 serving ashore can provide for
themselves. However. they are allowed
to purchase navy drafts and may make
use OF the deposit account mentioned
later.
There are 1900 men who leave al
lotments. The average amount allotted
each month is $40 Consequently $500
600, In round numbers Is being allotted
every year Seven thousand seven hun
dred men are saving. and $500 are help
ing to support their families. Almost
100000 is assigned for the former and
$1,5OO,OO0 for the latter purpose In
short, two out of every five men alot
iwo-thirds of their wages. One in every
five saves in this way. or, to be exact
D. per cent. The Bowery Savings Bank
and the naval branch of the Young Mems
Christian Association have been very
popular repositories among the men,
At least once a month word is passed
aboard ships that the men may name al
lottees to whom they wish to assign a
portion of their wages. The necessary
data is then forwarded to the proper pay
