Improvements made in the last two
years and since my last visit.
Il am inspecting the hotels, res
taurants, lodging houses, meat mar
kets, dairies and other places in the
city. In most all cases l find the
law being complied with and what
few infractions noted, a first warn
ing has been given. fragrant viola
lions of the law will not be permit
ted and prosecutions will follow
discovered We are prose-
cutting short-weight and mis- branded
violators under the federal law,
rather than under the state law now,
prefering to reach the wholesaler in
stead of the retailers
"One of the most particular places
for investigation in our department
is the dairy. Milk dispensers, wheth-
err private or public, must com
with the law in every respect. Milk
must be clean and it is
absolutely against the law to dis
Dense milk in anything but glass

Speaking of the harvester, Ed Snow

BILE invaders away from Calais and the
French criticism that the British are
thoughtlessly worrying about London
than they are about Calais is not well
received in London. Calls may be on
French soil but the British realize that
it is the German gateway to London
and that it must be defended to Eng
lands utmost. However, if the Brit
ish fail at Calais, they must be pre-
pared to make their last stand at Lon
don.
Strikes Hampered Operations
1t is true, as the French point out,
that strikes have hampered the British
but that defect is being remedied
thanks to the efficient work and in
spring appeals of the new minister
of munitions, Lloyd George Twenty
six new national arsenals have been
started within the past month and
100000 British workmen have offered

empires grave peril the workingmen

Conditions Exaggerated

The Englishman quoted by Simms,
as saying that the army of 100000
men in England were supplied with
wooden guns, was exaggerating condi-
tons. For the most part the men in
thousands may be seen daily in the
parks of London drilling with wooden
