FEDERAL INSPECTION.
Gndiana Times. Indianapoli

(Indiana Times. Indianapolis.)
Rep. Linthicum is urging vigor-
ously a congressional committee to
investigate charges that milk. butter
ice cream and other products of milk
are in many cases filthy. disease
breeding and unfit for human con-
sumption. Linthicum's idea is to
bring about federal inspection of
milk and milk products; to put the
dairy and butter business and the
ice cream business under federal
regulation and supervision. Milk and
milk products enter generally and
intimately into human health and
happiness. 1t was found to be neces-
sary to establish government inspec-
ton of foods, drugs and meats.
There is little question but that in
some cases the milk business is fully
as liable to go wrong as was the
packing business. The same human
element, the same brand of human
greed is likely to be met in one bust
ness as in another. Linthicum says
that so far as the federal government
is concerned, oairies, creameries.

cult to see why safeguards should
not be extended TO milk and milk
products--foods that most nearly
touch the lives of the people. There
are institutions which are maintain

purity and cleanliness. These have
no fear Of inspection. no matter by

DO WE EAT TOO MUCH?
Indianapolis starr

Col Gorgas. the man who so reg
ulated the sanitary conditions Of the
isthmus as to make it possible 10
build the canal. agrees with Henry
Ford that most persons. especially
the wealthy. eat too much. though
many who are poor do not eat
enough. He thinks too much food
is the cause of more physical all
ments than too much drink.
The human system, he declares. is
too often compelled tc digest more
food than it needs. with a cOnse-
quent strain and injury to the in
ternal organs. The excess food
weakens the heart, the liver and the
excretory organs and shOrtens life.
Over-eating. he thinks. leads to
over-consumption of alcoholic liquors
and the cocktail habit can be traced
to a desire to eat more than is use
full. His own habit is 10 stop eating
when he ceases to feel hungry. This
is the course which probably the

they would doubtless find by close
observation that food is consumed
at every meal after hunger is salts
fed and because Il is an inviting part
of the menu.
The opinion was expressed by
other government surgeons that a
safe rule would be TO eat approx
mately one-half Of the usual amount.
This plan is easily tried and by the
results noted each individual could
judge his own case. While it is true.
however, that people may subsist on
a small amount Of food. it may be
doubted if the average person eats
habitually twice as much as his sys-
tenn demands or as the maintenance
of his health and strength requires.
Undoubtedly many consume too
much meat and a limitation might
well be placed on the quantity of
steaks, chops and roasts commonly
served. In many households meas

not good for the health or the purse.
But the season of great plenty of
fresh fruits and vegetables, reason
able in price. is not a good time for
advocating abstemiousness in rich
foods at least. A better time will
be when canned goods" prevail.

GRAFT IN CHARITY
ORGANIZATION.
(Tampa, Fla, Times. }

II there is any organization
around which the monster, Graft,
does not attempt TO wrap its ten
tacles that Organization has yet TO
be brought to light. We know Of
none that is immune. and the
brazenness of the moneylusting
beast grows increasingly appalling.
One of his principal lairs is the
charity organizations of the country.
some Of which pay more salaries
than they dispense to unfortunates
whom they are designed to serve.
New York city according to reve-
lations of the New York School Of
Philanthropy, spends more than
100000 annually in salaries 10
officers Of charity organizations.
which means so cents for each Of
the 5000. 600 people of Gotham, or
$500 for each family.
Despite New York's large pOpula-
ton and the fact that poverty
abounds there to so great degree,
ii is evident that the payment Of so
much in salaries is warranted. and
that the spirit of graft permeates the
city's charity ard social uplift or
ganizations. officers Of some Of which
receive salaries Of $4,000 yearly.
1t il pleasing 10 note that in Tam
pa contributions 10 objects OF charity
go TO these objects and not TO high
salaried dispensers Of charity.
