tot who has been given a penny to
spend. Ten different specimens OF
Hawley & Hoops penny goods were
seized by the officials of the bureau OF
chemistry and analysed All of them
were found to be adulterated with arse
mic and most of them contained shell
lac. All of them were being sold as
chocolate candies, yet the officers re-
ported that some did not even have the
predominating favor of chocolate. In
every case the firm pleaded guilty. In
nine out of the ten cases no penalty
was imposed, the court suspendins
judgment. In the tenth ~"~a fine OF
$50 was imposed. The case in which
a fine was imposed was the one. and
the only one, in which the company
had not merely sold poisonous prod

the arsenic-containing candies came!
Selling to little children as chocolate
candy mixture containing arsenic ana
shellac is, apparently, in the eyes OF
the law, a trivial offense. But selling
to a dealer a package marked hNe
pounds that really contained only four
pounds IA and five-eighths ounces, laat

PROPERTY VERSUS LIFE.

To the legal mind, apparently. the
rights of property have always seemed
of more Importance than human life.
For hundreds of years it was possible
for a man brutally to maltreat his child
with less legal risk than if he had
poached a hare. Gradually human life
became more valuable; but even today
it fails to receive the protection that
is accorded to property. 1t is no I'M
common thing to find reported in Brit
ish newspapers cases in which a drunk
en- navy has kicked and otherwise
punishment at the hands of the law

wight who, driven by hunger. steals
a loaf, is sent to prison. Nor do we
need to go oversee to find such. in
stances of the worship of property,
points out the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association. An excellent
illustration of the workings of the
legal mind in problems of this kind is
to be found in a study of ten notices
of Judgment issued by the United
States department of agriculture and
giving in detail the account of ten vio-
lations of the food and drug act. These
ten cases deal with charges brought
against the firm of Hawley & Hoops,
New York, who are in the candy bust
ness. Hawley & Hoops sell what is
known as penny goods that is. the
