PURE FOOD FIGHT
STILL GOING ON

asks for THE inspection of the COM
States by government officials, for the
nurpcsc of insuring the use of sound
materials. cleanliness of methods and
compliance with the law concerning
adulterants and the use of drug pre-
servatives Months ago it was poin-
ted out that if manufacturers insisted
on doping their food products there
would come an irresistible demand for
government inspection of food -factor-
les. Already petitions are drifting in
to congress like snow flakes from all
parts of the country praying for such
government inspection, and not few
are from Gamers themselves whose
business is suffering from the latitude
now allowed the dopers under the con-
! struction of the law. The protests
from one medical society after another
, with the petitions and personal com
! munications being received by MEM
bers of congress are reflected in the
, bills and resolutions being introduced
and in the restlessness exhibited by

on both sides of the controversy are

Our suffering from lack of rain
may be moderated when we know of
places and people who get it in over
doses. The rains of last November
in Jamaica were the most remark
able ever recorded in any part Of the
world. Official returns at hand show
that the maximum rainfall occurred
at mountain stations in the eastern
part of the island, viz, 135 inches
in 8 days at Silver Hill, with a
maximum daily fall of $3.50 inches
on the 9th, and 12O.87 inches in Is
days at Farm Hill. These figures
are comparable with the famous
downpour at Cherapunji, India.
where Al inches have been measured
in a day and IA inches in five days.
The Jamaica rains caused disastrous
floods and landslides, attended by
by loss of life and property.

Primitive Fire Fiuhters.

AS late as the end of the sixteenth
century in London the sole method of
extinguishing fires was by means of
contrivances known as "hand squirts.' -
These were usually made Of brass,
with carrying capacity ranging from
two to four quarts Of water. The two
quart "squirts" were two and half
feet in length, one and a half inches in
diameter ut their largest part and but
half an inch at the nozzle. On each
side were handles, and three men were
required to manipulate a squirt"
One man on each side grasped the han
die in one hand and the nozzle in the
other, while the third man worked the
piston or plunger, dra wing it out while
the nozzle was Immersed in supply
Of water which filed the cylinder.
The bearers then elevated the nozzle,
when the other pushed in the plunger,
the skill Of the former being employed
In directing the stream Of water upon
the fire. Such primitive contrivances
are said to have been used during the
great fire Of 1866.

EXPECT An AVERAGE CROP
Farmers Of South Dakota Far From
..- Discouraged.


Sioux Falls, S. D., July 23.-While
it is not expected that the crop raised
in South Dakota this year will be so
large as that produced last. year,
very good average crop will be, har-
vested. This is particularly true so
far as small grain is concerned. While
the stalks were stunted by the dry
weather early in the season, rains and
the right kind of weather when grain
was filling caused the grain generally
to head we'll, the berries being quite
plump and the heads we'll filled. The
quality will be much above the aver
age. Because of the short stalks more
headers will be utilized in gathering
the crops than for many years. .si
-, Corn has been greatly benefited by
recent rains in all parts of the state
and now is certain to be one of the
biggest crops of the kind raised in
South Dakota for several years.
