DON'T MIND THE FRESH AIR!

Right now is the time to bear in mind that fresh
air is important all the year round FIR six months
windows have been open day and night, in living
rooms, sleeping rooms, Offices and other .orking
places. Now comes the fine sharp morning CT early
autumn, and altogether too many people pr Gown
the sashes and set out on a half-year,s period Of
shvering and discomfort to say nothing of carbonic
acid gas and endless varieties of microbes. -,
No people in the world, it is said, maintain their
living apartments such high temperatures as Amer
leans. What with revolving doors, steam and hot
water heating plants and various other devices that
seem to bespeak national horror of fresh air, we
invite tubercular troubles and then hold up our hands
in horror at the statistics of their ravages.
Start in right with the autumn; let the fresh,
crisp air get you during the hours when it is fresh
est and crspest; keep the sleeping rooms open and
use more covering if needed. The transitional sea-
son between hot and cold weather is f-ghtfuly rro-
ductye Of colds simply because many people sud-
denly shut off their supplies of good fresh air. on
the theory that if will keep them cold The cold ac
cumulated now is liable to stick all winter, and
we all know that even the patent-medicine man Of
the Ied ante-pure food law days, with all his elo-
quence, never managed to oyerstate the dangers of
the cold The doctors nowadays assure their clients
that qcolds are caused quite as much by bad air,
lungs as by changes in temperature. Start the cool
err season Alright by breathing good air every minute
it is possible.

MUSIC AT MEALS.

A German nerve specialist recently put forward
the view that reason for the increase of insanity
in his country is the growth of the music habit at
meals. He holds that the pianos, violns, horns,
drums, and other instruments get on the nerves" of
diners and help to drive them crazy
Perhaps. We have the same trouble over here,
but we didn't know it was filing the madhouses, al
though it may be admitted that the loud and dramatic
music frequently played in some of the best hotels
and restaurants is distraction from the menu. >
Orchestra leaders can help to preserve the safety
and sanity Of the nation by using mope in selects
ing programs. Even if man who is wrought up
with emotion caused by listening to an overpower-
ing crash from grand opera doesn't become a raw
ing maniac, he is likely to get wishbone stuck in
his throat and consume the valuable time of the head

MORE FOOD LAW FALL-DOWNS.

batch of pure food law decisions has just come
10 hand which seems peculiarly aggravatng. AS
the conclusion of Federal prosecutions, the judg-
ments in eight cases are stated The extreme penalty
inflicted was fine of S25 Fl. /.
. A concefn that sold 1sH to l4IzEounoes ofbut-.
ter as a pound, was fined SIS. This is form Of
thievery that surely ought TO be met with more ef
tive penalty: 4"
A concern that doped up water with carbon d.
oxide, sodium sulphate, sodium bicarbonate, and
various other things and sold it natural lithia
water was fined $40. Lihia water is commonly
used by people with the notion that it has medicinal
value; physicians frequently prescribe it as regu
lar drink for persons with particular ailments. To
give these people something that is not at all what
il pretends to be or what the doctor has prescribed
is peculiarly vicious imposture
The manufacture of imitation whisky and branding
of it to look like the real thing in for one de-
cision and the fine imposed is SIS for selling raw
corn whisky, reduced to 50-proof and mixed with
capscum as if it were good, genuine whisky.
The food law has been in effect now lons enough
so that penalties, not admontons, ought to be ap-
piled. When it was first passed there might have
been some excuse for mdness But the offenders
who today, with full knowledge of the laws pro-
visions and purposes go ahead perpetrating the rot
tenness and subterfuge that are described in every
bunch of foodlaw decisions, entitled to con-
sderation They seem to be hardened and cynical
maefactors who simply figure that an occasional fine
of few dollars isn't drop in the bucket of profits
they can make by the pTetense that they are vir-
tuous and that preense is made easy because of the
and dishonest label that the Government
places on their goods.
II is worth, while to observe that the man who
sells hydrant water for lithia the who sells
prune juice neutral spirits, and capsicum for wh:s
ky is NOT the really worst offender against the law
That law has been brought into contempt and
mockery by the regulation that guarantees" such
wicked inpostures as these. The guarantee" label
is a..fake, a gigantic fraud pious lie. And it is
the Governments own lie!

AN ELECTION OR A joke?

II is perfectly apparent that election held in
Mexico on October rs cannot produce expression
of the real will and purpose of the Mexican people
if they are capable of having any community purpose
Already the Carranzista faction has made plain that
it does not expect to accept the result, which doubt
less means that if will not participate. An election
in Mexico now, with the consttutonasts either ex-
ciudedsor withholding from participation, would be
about as representative an election in Ireland on
home iule with nobody but the Ulstermen voting
The parallel, in fact is right accurate.
1t useless TO hope that our Mexican troubles VIII
be over with the election. Much more likely, they
will then be entering on more difficult phase.

country be delivered in New York for 10 cents
pound Indeed, the department reports that South
American beef be and has been delivered in New
York at cents pound
But this sort of news is not important to the
American public until it be shown that Peru, the
rest OF South America, and other foreign countries
are able to send enough meat to count Can Peru
raise enough surplus beef to affect the supply avail
sble to American consumers sufficiently to be rep
resented by the slightest change in price tags of the
