We are not responsible for the terri
BILE struggle. Our national feeling is
one OF profound sympathy with the
sufferers, regardless Of their nation
atty, because they are human and
thousands Of US are related TO them
By blood. Indeed, IN a large sense,
they are al our brothers. In recog-
milton Of that fact it is our privilege
and opportunity TO do whatever We
properly may toward restoring the
essentials Of ordered life after the
conflict shall have ceased.

MEAT AND MILK INSPECTION
IMPORTANT MOVE

The ladies of the Federation Clubs
are to be congratulated for leading
in the matter of meat and milk in
spection. They are on the right
road. When they asked for the in
speetion and examination of school
children two years ago, many scoffed
at the idea, yet since it has been
installed in a modest way in our
public schools, great benefits have
accrued to the children and con-
seQuentIy diseases have been cut
down two-thirds from what they
had been. Great good has come from
the Inspection and care of the school
children and the same benefits will
accure and follow from the inspec-
ton of milk and meats.
No one should be allowed to kill
and bring in meat for sale except it
be inspected. The inspection would
be done by authorized and qualified
government or state inspectors All
meats should be sold through the
meat dealers and each carcass
should bear the official stamp. Like
wise every dealer in the sale Of
milk should be authorized to sell
by the city and his milk tested as
Wen as his cows. Too much care
cannot be voucbed safe in any 9th
er way.
1t is Just recently that We were
informed by a farmer who killed 10
hogs that one of them had a pecu-
liar growth next to the hams and
he wondered what it meant. He sent
for a veterinary and he diagnosed
them as tubercular glands. That
hos was buried Immediately. Had
he failed to notice these glands this
hos would have been sold with the
other nine and he never would have
known the difference, nor the buyer
either. We don't believe any farm
er would knowingly and purposely
sell a diseased animal of any kind
to a butcher, vet, he might do so in
nocently and ignorantly. With city.
state or government inspection these
errors cannot happen. By all means
give US meat and milk inspect. on.

PAYS PREMIUM FOR BAD ROADS

The farmer actually pays a prem
ium for bad roads. He pays it in
time expended in getting to market; ;
in value of drafting animals and the
food they eat and in the extra hands
for their care and handling; in in
creased number of vehicles ard wear
and tear ON them, and in the decreas
ed product of land that has less at
tention and care. If the country had
a system of smooth and hard high
ways it would blossom like rose
and prosperity would follow in the
wake.

MEAT AND MILK INSPECTION

It is very gratifying to the people
in Grand Rapids to know that the
city council at their last meeting
took into consideration the impor-
lance and value of meat and milk
inspection by ordering a suitable or
dinance to be drawn to regulate and
govern the sale of meats and milk.
A careful inspection will not only
be valuable to the consumer, but
will be of great value to those who
have these articles for sale and
are anxious to comply with sanitary
means for supplying the people with
carefully inspected foods. We can
not compliment this action on the
part of the Common Council too
highly, as it is am advance step in
the right direction

BULGE IN PIER WING.
Twenty Feet Threatens to Fan Into
River-Wiu Be Repaired.

Within the past week bulge in the
east wing wall of the pier at the north
end OF the Depot street bridge was no.
tlced and now about 20 feet of this
wall threatens to fall out into the
river. The road and sidewalk in close
proximity to the bridge have settled
to noticeable extent and small fis-
sure has appeared in the macadam
roadbed. The wall was apparently in
good condition until one day recS>tly,
when 1T was found necessary to move
the north end of the bridge slightly TO
the right, and to do this Jacks braced
against the end of the wing wall were
used. 1t is thought that this pressure
forced the wall out and lowered the
stones enough so that the weight of
the fill is now gradually increasing the
damage, not at an alarming rate. but
sufficiently to make certain that if
would only be a question of time be-
fore the wall would collapse The Sc
lectmen have taken she matter in hand
and feel that there Is no better time
than the present to make repairs, es-
peclally since the steam holsters and
other machinery used by the bridge
builders is on the spot Accordingly
they have contracted to have the work
done at once. There probably will not
be any delay from this source in open-
ing the new bridge, as the work Will
no doubt be finished before the con
crete dressing has hardened
