BUYING AT LESS THAN COST.

Engineering: One cannot blame
the purchaser FOR buying in the cheap
est market, although there is no dis
putting the fact that he comes pretty
near to the committing OF a moral
offense when he purchases an article
with the full consciousness that the
price paid is less than the real cost
OF production. The responsibility Is
the greater in the case of a munich
pality or government department as
they are not actuated by personal gain,
and, moreover. ought to be examplers.
The government or municipal nur
chasers shield themselves behind
their consultant, and place ,rpon him
Increased responsibility in ensuring
that the article shall be efficient ac-
cording to the standard set, apart
altogether from the loss in producing
It,, The censultant may do his duty,
but on him rests the moral offense of
demanding more than is being paid
for. There Is no doubt that4the price
paid has been less than the cost of
production In many recent cases; for
instance, In connection with electrical
machinery, and also with warships.
The practice of accepting the lowest
tender is defended because of econ
omical conditions and of the guaran
tee 1t affords against favoritism. But
there should. at the same time. be
some recognition Of the fact that just
as low wages may not conduce to
high efficiency, because tending to
delay improved mechanical means OF
production, so loss In the selling
price Is not conducive to permanent
efficiency in manufacture as 1t pre-
vents expenditure Of research. Mr.
Yarrow put this admirably in his
short address at the opening of the
experimental tank at the National
Physical laboratory when he pointed
out that starving and cheapness
would lead to the inevitable result Of
securing present gain at the sacrifice
OF future progress, for it must be
borne in mind that If contractors are
deprived Of the margin Of profit
which enables. them to make investiga-
tons. 1t would put a stop to their en-
thuslasln in scientific work"

PROMISES WELL FOR OTHER
WORK or THIS ORDER.

omics, has taken hold with a yigor
and zeal that promises great things for
the future Six students are already
at work. and two others have indi-
Gated their intention to join the class
very soon. Miss Mabel c. Bentley,
teacher of household economy, who has
charge OF the course, Is much en-
couraged over the interest manifested
by her students, and also by their SUI
perior qualifications In scholarship
Nearly all the members OF the class
are graduates OF colleges or OF tnstt-
tutions of advanced grades.
The students already registered are:
Miss Lucy Weld, an advanced Latin
graduate OF the Moorhead Normal,
who has taught in the public schools
and served during one summer term

as practical exercises in cooking, gar
ment designing, etc
The interest that 1t has aroused,
now that 1t is a practical reality, prom
Uses much for the future of these pro-
posed advanced courses, which include.
besides household economy, drawing,
music, and manual training.

NEW YoRK's COLD STORAGE.

Illinois State Journal: Iuvestira-
ton Of cold storage establishments In
the state Of New York, under the new
Brennan law, approved by Governor
Dix, Ia bringing out information
which astounds even the people OF the
empire state with big figures.
An examination Of the cold storage
warehouses In New York city shows
that the extent of this Industry is
far greater than was ever imagined.
and the public can scarcely conceive
or the Immense quantities of goods
held In storage.
In twelve storage houses alone
visited by the inspectors there were
found to be more than 1900, 900 pounds
OF poultry and meat: $500, 900 pounds
Of fish; 100000 pounds Of cheese:
10000 600 pounds Of butter and SEQ 600
cases OF eggs. A thorough examine
ton OF all the plants is being con-
Quoted.
In addition to limiting the time III
which food may be kept in storage the
law provides that food once expos
ed for sale shall not be restored and
that all storage food must be labeled
with the date of it's receipt in stor-
age and Of its delivery therefrom and
when sold be represented as cold
storage food.
This last provision Is particularly
important as ii protects the people
from imposition by interruptions
dealers in selling as fresh foods which
are really storage stuff. The state
commissioner of health is also vested
with full power and authority to in
spect and supervise all cold storage
plants and to see that they are main
tanned In clean and sanitary man
ner.
Thus far, investigations have been
made in the cities Of New York, AL
bany, Utica. Syracuse, Rochester and
Buffalo. In several cities violations of
the law have been discovered which
demonstrated its utility and necessity
especially from the public health
standpoint. It is anticipated the pub
lie will be greatly benefited by the
activity of the states health officers
In their enforcement of the laws pro-
vision
