that the laws are not enforced and there has
heretofore been known way to have the

think, at last discovered the key to the prob
lem. In our fight for pure food and cold
storage abuses we were met with the discour-
aging announcement by the New York State
Board of Health that they would like to enforce
the law but could not promise to do so because
they did not have inspectors enough.
The women OF the Housewives League at
once offered their services without charge to
the State Board of Health to act as inspectors
was accepted and the women of the House
wives League are now serving throughout the
city as inspectors without cost to the city or
State, and at last the law is being enforced
The wide application and Importance of this
has not yet been perceived believe that this
action by the women Of the Housewives
League will have far-reachng results we
have opened the way for the enforcement OF
the law in every direction.
If such man as the late Commissioners
Waldo will not use his 1900 policemen to en-.
