THE COM MON DRINKING CUP.

Medical authorities have long held
 Ehat the common drinking cup. when
 used promiseuously by many people. ls a fruitful source of centagion. They have long demanded its exile to the subbish heap. But medical theorists have learned to expect a certain period of ridicule or, what is worse, Of being wholly ignored The unsan- Aary milk ticket put up game con- test against the modern used-but. once kind. It had to succumb. so has the common drinking cup. The first sweeping authoritative order against the infectious cup, so far as recalled
 comes from the Kansas state board of health. In that state, by order oi the board, the use of common drink ing cups win become unlawful afte. September l. The regulation applies to railway stations. schools and other places of public assemblage. Already several other states in- the west are talking of following the Kansas ev' ample and passing sentence against the cup that infects. if 1t does not lutoxicate. It is a sign of progress.

CANAL NOT
 TO eE NEUTRAL.

The semi-ofRcial statement from Washington that the Panama canal wfu not be maintained as a neutral waterway should not cause much sur prise anywhere. The reasons that ac- count for the neutralization Of the Suez canal do not exist in this case. American money is building the Pan. ana canal and American interests will be more largely served by its completion than those of any other corfntry. The canal is as much an agency in the defense O. American rights and property as any fortifca- ton on the Atlantic or Pacific coast Because of it the American navy can be quickly mobilized at d threatened point on either seaboarG. something not possible under present conditions. Why the belief has arisen that other nations would be allowed voice III its control is difficult to under stand. It will be free to all com merce in time of peace. Tn time or war, should the war affect the Unit ed States. commerce will be restrict ed so far as may be necessary to the pfetection of our interests And un- der no conditions whatsoever could any hostile power be permitted to send its fleets through this channel under the protection of neutralizing regulations. A contrary theory of ca nal management. one that committed the United States to the principle of divided control, is so preposterous as not to be worth serious discussion.

Leading food concerns which have been large users of conservatives are said to be back of an attempt to over. throw the pure food law through a suit in the District of Columbia courts.
 No doubt the pure food law has in terfered with the freedom of con cerns that formerly found it profit able to sell adulterated and frard ulent food produc.SS. u nas raised bar to various mild forms of pois oning. It has made it expedient for manufacturers to practice honesty and straight dealing, and to that ex tent has served as safeguard to the consumers pocket and his health.
 Moral consideration ought to be sufficient to persuade any legitimate manufacturer of food articles that the old free-and-easy system was bad. Ii put premium on crookedness, of which honest dealers and especially the public were bound to be the suf ferers. But. if only for business req sons, the leading fcod concerns should desire. to see the pure food law upheld in all Its vigor. It has taught people to have confidence in the purity of what they offer for sale and it's nullifcation would be at their expense.
 The announcement by the courts that the beef trust was permitted to use boric acid and other chemical conservatives in its meats and food preparations would immediately mean an immense loss of trade. The pub. lie has had it's eyes opened to abuses of which it was ignorant few years ago. It would resent a return to leg alized fraud and deception in the shop and on the table and would demand forms of restriction more severe than any now in force. The public may be careless of its health, but it is moi easily reconciled to being cheated.

 torily fixed at the figure of 223.3. the heaviest element known. At the high est estimate the amount of radium in all the laboratories of the world is less than two grammes,
 Let us consider for a moment what that implies. Suppose that copper were a newly discovered metal and that no more than one ounce of 1t had been extracted. What should we know of all its properties, of its malleability, ductility. of its electrical conductivity or of its conduction of heat? Scat tered over two continents there is less than the seventh of an ounce of radi- um. What science wants for further information is to assemble one ounce of radium in one place. Then we might begin to learn something about its properties. There is a remote pos sibility that we might learn something of these properties in highly discon- certing manner. M. Curie, when alive, once burnt himself severely by carry ing in his waistcoat pocket for a few days a glass tube which inclosed a tiny speck of radiym- He said that if it became possible to isolate a consid- erable quantity of pure radium he wuld not trust himself for an hour in a room containing a kilogramme of it. because he believed that in that time skin. tissue. internal organs and even bones of the human body would be burnt and fatally injured

the railroads in that state have resisted

statute it is now in force. The Kansas
commission has kindly consented to

son that the railroads had attacked the
two-cent fare law and other corpora

federal court of Nebraska and that
testimony would be taken somewhere

the arduous work of defending all state
laws falls upon the attorney general

MAKES BOOM TALK.
Roosevelt Delivers an Address at a
Reception in His Honor.

Nairobi, British East Africa. Aug.
Theodore Roosevelt and his son
Kermit were the guests of honor at
a public reception given in Nairobi
last night Frederick J. Jackson,
governor of Pritisu. East Africa. was
chairman and rs persons sat at the
tables. Captain Sanderson the town
clerk of Nairobi, read an address of
welcome to the former president of
the United States. and afterward
handed him the address enclosed in
a section of elephant tusk mounted in
silver and with a silver chain. The
American residents of the pro-
tectorate presented Mr. Roosevelt
with a tobacco box made of the hoof
of rhinoceros, silver mounted; the
skull of a rhinoceros, also mounted in
silver, and a buffalo head.
Mr.. Roosevelt in reply to a toast
proposed by Governor Jackson said:
81 wish to take this opportunity to
thank the people of British East
Africa for their generous and
courteous hospitality. L have had a
thorough good time.
81 am immensely interested in the
country and its possibilities as an
abode for white men. Very large
tracts are fit for a fine population and
and it would be a calamity to neglect
them. But the settlers must be of the
right type.
81 believe that one of the best feats
performed by members of the white
race in the last 10 years is the build
ing of the Uganda railway. 1 am con-
WINGED that this country has a great
agricultural and industrial future and
it is the most attractive playground in
the world. 1t most certainly presents
excellent opportunities for capitalists
and ample inducements should be Of
fered them to come here. The home
maker and actual settler and not the
SpeCulator should be encouraged in
making this a white mans country.
Remember that righteousness and
our real ultimate self interest demand
the blacks be treated justly. 1 have
no patience with sentimentalists and I
think that sentim entality does more
harm to individuals than brutality.
Therefore I believe in helping the
missionary, of whatever creed, who is
laboring sincerely and disinterestedly
with practical good sense.
1T is natural that 1 should have
peculiar feeling for the settlers. They
remind me of the men in our West
with whom I worked and in whose
aspirations I 50 deeply sympathize.'
In conclusion Mr.. Roosevelt drew
comparison of the conditions as he
had found them in British East
Africa, with those that confronted the
pioneers of western America.

penny superior in design to the Indian

The new pennies are being subject

1t was first discovered at the treasury
that they did not stack up as well as
the Indian coins.
The most serious objections to them,
however. is that they are thicker than
the old coins. institutions which use

LABOR CONFLICT.
Situation in Sweden Daily Grows
More Acute.
Sereral Organizations Decline
to Obey Strike Order.
GUNSHOPS DENUDED.
Quantities of Dynamite Disap-
pear From Warehouses.
All Milk Supplies Have Been
Cut Off at Stockholm.

stockholm, Aug 4.-The labor con-
flict in Sweden shows signs this morn
ing of becoming more acute. While
the ranks of the strikers are consider
ably sWelled, the general strike called
for today has not yet become entirely
effective. Many organizations, al
though sympathizing with the strikers,
hesitate to join them actively. The
employees of the street car lines and
the cab drivers stopped work this
morning and neither cabs nor street
cars are available.
The fact that the troops are pro-
tectlng the gas works and the electric
lighting plant has incensed the work
men, whose leaders threaten to call
withdrawn. The printers union this
morning resolved to postpone for the
present any decision to go on strike.
a corps of Workmen, some thousand
strong, is being organized with the OBJ
Ject OF maintaining order and the peO
pie generally, bankers, merchants, etc,
are armlng themselves for self protec-
ton. The gunshops of the city are
practically denuded of reVOlvers and
small arms. All tourists have left
Stockholm, and the number of visitors
now in the city is smaller than at this
season for many years.
Although railroad men have decided
not to strike, the government is tax
with troops Quantities of dynamite
are reported to have mysteriously dis
appeared recently from the government
stores.
The leaders of the strikers claim that
the end OF the week will see a nos
liable spread of the movement, that
the railway, postal. telegraph and tele-
phone employees and the printers will
by that time have Joined the strike.
All milk supplies have been cut off and
thousands of babies are suffering from
lack of nourishment.
The streets of Stockholm are filed
with idlers who promenade back and
forth chatting the volunteer street
cleaners, many of whom belong to the
better class. All the ferries have
stopped running and there is little COM
munication between Stockholm and the
suburbs reached by water routes. This
fact will result in a further diminutiOn
of food supplies. For the present all IS
quet but trouble is expected when the
stocks of food begin to run low.
