TO STRENGTHEN PURE
FOOD LAW.

Senator La Toilette will soon intro
duce in the Senate bills intended to
strengthen the pure fccd ard drugs
act. One bill is intended to meet the
recent defect which was pointed out
by the Supreme Court. The other is
to strengthen the law in all those
places where it has proven to he
weak and Ineffective to protect the
public health.
1t is the duty of patriotic men of
all parties to rally to the support of
this proposed legislation and sec that
it is enacted. 1t is of more actual
moment, from the standpoint of the
public welfare, from the standpoint
cf the health of the nation, than any
other matter before Congress. From
the standpoint of dollars and cents
alone, it can be demonstrated that
pure food and drugs are a great
economy.
The proposed legislation should be
enacted this session, and without
waiting on future Congress.

be available for only a restricted
class. Its doors must be thrown
open to anyone who possesses the
requisite cash, for people will not
proclaim their poverty to a world by
publicly going into a place generally
known as exclusively for "dowr-
and-outers."
The country at large has expert
mented many times with schemes to
make the living cost less, and
nowhere has a triumph been declar-
ed, for the same basic principle of
restricted patronage has been the
bugbear. New York has tried it
many times, and the failures con-
vince that the citizens of that me-
tropolis will not attend any such con-
Germ unless its location is on one
Of the most expensive corners Of
Broadway and a ceaseless stream of
limousines and cars, for the sake of
sham pride, tells that financial hiatus
has nothing to do with the patron
age of the place.
The Washington times., 1914-03-30
And as to American responsibility:
FAILURE DUE TO PRIDE.

With the cry "Cut down the high
cost of living" rcverberating on
every hand, an effort at the solution
Of the problem has failed in Chicago,
the $4,000 municipal store of that
city having been compelled to close
its doors for want of patronage.
1t is commentary upon the trend
of the times that such an institution
should prove unavailing. Its object
was to sell food at cost TO those
whose means precluded trading at
the ordinary stores, and the unem-
ployed, but the collar chafed the
neck of Pride when those who ap-
piled for permission to buy there
were required to produce evidence
shat they owned no property and
we're unemployed.
Regardless Of rank in the social
scale, we are a proud people and the
stigma Of Charity is repugnant to
all. To this requirement, that finan-
cial distress be proven before the
benefits Of the municipal store could
be granted, is mainly attributable
its lack of support although the
facts that the store was located in
The rather inaccessible stockyard
district and made no deliveries, mill
tated greatly against its success.

A WOMAN SCIENTIST.

For the first time Stree it was
founded, in 1896, the Cullum Gold
Medal has been awarded by the
council of the American Geographic
cal Society to a woman, and the
name of Ellen Churchill Semple will
be added to the golden list which is
ranged in order on n marble tablet
in the hall of the socicty's building
in upper Broadway. Since the medal
was first presented to Commander
Peary in 1886, it has been bestowed
upon such well-known explorers as
Sven Eedin. the Duke of Abruzzi,
NanSen, Shackleton, and Scott. It
has remained for an American wom-
an to have her sex represented on
Ibis list Of famous names, and
through achievement of quite an
other kind.
The first woman Cullum medalist
devotas herself to the new science
which bears the formidable name Of
anthropo-geography. Of which there
ere only four dcvotees in the United
States, and Of these she is the lead
ing authority. What Miss Semple
and her few colleagues Study is the
influence of geographical conditions
upon the development of society.
Her work has carried her all over
the globe, and her books are reco:-
nized as authorities on the subject
by scientists both here and abroad.
Miss Semple's achievements have
not attracted SO general an attention
as if she had given some freakish
Cntertainn ent or ruined some an
cient building or work of art in
misguided effort at reform" But
she has shown in quiet. dignifed
and effective way that a woman has
been considered by the leading geo.
graphical society in the United
States cminentiy the mental equal

BIG BROTHERS AND
SISTERS .

Significant of growing tendencies
in community life is the Big Brother
and Big Sister movement just organ
lied in Washington.
Rapidly as industrial life has
changed its aspects, society has been
slow to adapt itself to changed condi-
lions. As Kate Waller Barrett has
so clearly pointed out in her series ct
articles pleading for more humanity
in our conceptions of duty to our fel-
lows, and thus produce higher moral
standards, the advent of woman into
business and commerce and industry
has been a tremendous factor in this
change. But under the inspiration
"f few brave souls, private con-
sciences have been pricked, and we
no longer dare to ask. "Am my
brothers keeper" The stranger
within our gates is viewed with new
eyes, the problem of child labor takes
a new aspect, dishonesty in business
and graft in public life are fast Civ
ing way before advancing community
ideals. Now comes the effort to make
every man and every woman view
the unfortunate as little sisters and
little brothers for whom each must
do his part TO bring little cheer, a
little helpfulness. The dreamer is
awakening. His vision of public re-
sponsibility has a new conception.
Such tendencies give one the op-
portunity to visualize his ideals and
translate them into practical terms.
Brotherhood and fellowship are too
broad for definition. But to be Big
Brother or a Big Sister is to bring
altruism down to the level of each
of us.
