Too much denial, like too much
of any thing else, will finally raise
suspicion as to good faith. The
daily declarations being given out
at Washington by the acting secre-
tary of state, Mr.. Huntington Will
son, that there is no possibility of
the United States intervening in
Mexico, instead of allaying the fears
of the people is beginning to aggra-
yate. If there is occasion for these
daily denials the people feel that
there is cause for uneasiness. Treat

Waxahachie citizens in meeting this

Austin, Texas, April 17.--As a
preparatory step against the vigor-
Gus statewide campaign which he IS
planning for this summer, Commits
sioner ]. s. Abbott of the state pure

that violation of them will mean
prosecution.
The commissioner returned yester-
day from Waco, where he has been
directing a local pure food campaign
FOR the last three weeks. AS result
of his efforts up there twenty-one
cases charging violation of the state
pure food laws were filed, and
everyone of them netted a fine for
the state. The last defendant was
brought to trial and convicted last
Saturday.
Commissioners Abbott says that
he will pay particular attention dur
ing his work this summer to slaugh-
ter houses in the different towns
and cities
Il shall proceed in the near fu-
ture to close up lot of these
slaughter houses If city abattoirs
are not built" he said. He cited
Austin and Waco in particular IN
connection with his plans in this
respect. Dallas and Fort Worth will
be visited by the inspectors of the
department within the next thirty
days.
