LOOKS AFTER
HOMELESS CHILD

Rev. r. E. Pearce, of Denver. sup
perintendent OF the Colorado Chill
drens Home society, is in this city
today in the interest of the organiza-
tion. He has recently been appointed
TO the position 10 succeed W. S. Ru-
dolph. The Childrens Home So
ciety is not an orphanage but a non
sectarian state and national organiza-
tion that places small children in
good homes for adoption" said Rev.
Pearce. 1t provides the homeless
child with home and the childless
home with a child, three-fold bless
ing for the child, the home and the
state. The fundamental principle of
this society is that every child should
have home and mother and not
grow up in an institution"
This child-rescue and home-finding
society has placed over 500 children.
mostly babies, in homes during the
past sixteen years an average of fifty
babies each year since its organiza-
tion in the state in 1892. This work
has been done at an average cost of
about S75 for each of the 500 chill
dren. Rev Pearce then calls atten-
tion to the immense saving of this
method as compared with the cost of
keeping them in an institution, to say
nothing of the advantages of having
the child in a private home.
There are enough good homes in
Colorado said Rev. Peurce, for ev-
cry homeless child in the state" Per-
sons knowing Of baby that needs a
home and families desiring to adopt a
child may secure information by con
ferring with Rev Pearce or writing
to his Denver address, University
Park, Denver, Colo.

BOARD OF FEED AND DRUG IN
SPECTioN OF UNCLE SANS
GOVERNMENT ISSUES SOME
ORDERS REGARDING THE
ADuLTERATIoN or OYSTERS.

The following food inspection has
just been issued:
Considerable evidence has been sub.
mitted to the department since the is
suance of food inspection decision 10
on the practice of floating or drinking
oysters in water of less saline content
than that in which they were grown
to maturity.
Full consideration has been given 10
all the hearings and to the briefs and
other information submitted subse-
quent to the hearings and the board
Is Of the opinion that 1t is not i'm
proper to drink oysters in water of
a saline content equal to that in which
oysters will grow TO maturity. If,
however, oysters are foated in water
Of a less saline content than that In
which will properly mature, the pack
ages containing such oysters must be
very clearly and legibly labeled "Float-
ed Oysters" otherwise they will be
considered adulterated under section
of the law.
Particular attention should be paid
by the growers and handlers of oysters
to the character of the water in which
the oysters are brought 20 maturity or
fioated. Where such waters are pol
luted it will invariably follow that the
oysters will also partake Of this pol
luton and subsequent washing of the
oysters, or even floating in water
which is not polluted is likely not to
