Connecticut Avenue Organi.
cation Adopts Resolution
Favoring Legislation.

The Connecticut Avenue Citizens. AS
ISOLATION, the newest organization Of
cttfzens Of the District, Is unqualifiedly
for universal transfers. Resolutions
were adopted at meeting in the Army
ard Navy Preparatory School last
night, favoring the transfer measure.
and the association will actively urge
Its passage in the House. The public
utilities bill also was lndorsed.
The organization of the association
was completed last night, with the
adoption of q constitution and bylaws,
as drawn by an executive committee.
One Of It's first acts was to line up
with the movement for an appropriation
for a new building for Columbia Hos
pital, the institution for the treatment
of women al Twenty-fifth street and
Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
Resolutions were adopted urging the
Senate to insert in the District till the
item Of $4,000 for a four-room addition
to the Chevy Chase School, which was
stricken out in the House.
Judge De Lacy, of the Juvenile Court,
was elected an honorary member Of the
association last night, after he had de-
Nvered an address defending the alleged
schools Of the District. He said that
the increased cost of the school system
here was due in large measure to the
fact that an ever-increasing number Of
pupils who enter the primary schools
continue through the high schools.

Health Service Asks
Regulation for Rabies

Officials Of the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service are seeking
legislative aid in their campaign
against rabies, as preventable dis
ease. State boards of health have been
solicited to make the disease report
able like any contagious . disease,
through legislation or regulation. That
the malady is increasing in it's pre-
valence, particularly In the West, is
shown by statistical records kept by
the service. Until 1908, 1t is declared
there was not case west OF the Mis-
sissippi river, and last year from Cali
fornia alone III cases were reported.
+ During the fiscal year 1910, in the
District of Columbia, I2S persons were
treated, most Of them coming from
the District. Maryland. and Virginia.
In aSking for legislation, public
health officials point out that the dis
ease Is only communicable through d.
rect contact, and for this reason can
be stamped out entirely by the killing
Of rabid animals and the muzzling of
dogs.

Minneapolis Chemist Finds
Flagrant Evidence of
Fraud.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. Jan. 2s.--The
State dairy and food commission will
investigate charges that adulterated
butter is being sold here. City Chemist
w. H. Roberts, in his report, submitted
today, says:
Some samples sent to my labora-
tory were mixture of tallow, lard, and
coloring matter, and constituted fla
grant violations of the Federal ppre
food laws. The high prices prevalent
and the character of numerous samples
submitted would warrant the suspicion
that much adulterated butter is being
sold"
A simple test that serves practical
purposes Is suggested by Mr.. Roberts
to enable housekeepers to satisfy them
selves that butter for which they pay
high prices IL genuine.
Place q small quantity of the "but-
ter" in tablespoon and hold 1t over a
gas jet. Pure butter will sputter and
foam. The adulterated kind will melt
like lard and sediment may form.
