Needed, He Declares.

DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Health Com
missioner, returned to his office yester-
day after an absence of two months be-
cause of illness. He found the health
conditions OF the city so excellent that
he said he has almost decided to go
away again. He said
1T Is well known fact that sick
people improve when their family physi-

true OF the public health during the abb
sence Of the Commissioner"
DR.. Copeland called a conference OF
bureau heads and learned that the in
fant mortality. so far this year. Is the
lowest in city history. Out OF every
1000 babies born this year only seventy
five have died. which is ten points be-
low any previous record. The Commits

The business men told DR.. Harriss
they would like to see him install in

HIS WILL CONTEST LOST

Burnett Y. Tiffany, second son Of
the late Charles L. Tiffany, of Tiffany
& Co.. jewellers, who has been in the
courts frequently in connection with
attempts to have his allowance from
trust funds increased, is trying again
to obtain more money from the estate.
Und~r the will of the elder Tiffany
the son was cut of with $4,000 year.
But a codicil made it clear that the
executors might allow him as much
from the income of a trust fund as
they might think his conduct justified.
In papers filed yesterday with an ap-
plication for a $4,000 increase for Mr..
Tiffany, Gould Wilkie, attorneys for
the Farmers Loan and Trust Com
pany, as trustee, said Mr.. Tinany's
conduct and manner of living entitle
him to a little more from the estate.
The trustee asserts that when Charles
l. Tiffany died in February, 1902, he
had made liberal provision for his wife
and each Of the four children. For the
second son. Burnett. the father had de-
cided on trust fund of 100000 in cash
and fifty shares Of Tiffany & Co. stock.
A codicil Of the will, filed with the latest
petition for more money, contains the
elder Tiffany's direction that mot more
than $4,000 per annum. payable in
monthly instalments of equal amount.

radical change shall take place in his
manner of living"
The application continues to say that
in 1908 the allowance was increased 70
$4,000 a year, and that he now needs
more. His brother and sister. Mrs Annie
Mitchell and Louis c. Tiffany, consent
as remaindermen, 1t is stated.
Angered Father in 1887.
Burnett Tiffany incurred the dispeas-
ure of his father by his marriage on
March l. 1887 to a seamstress. In 1871
the wife obtained a divorce. The codicil.
made before the divorce, remained IN the
will. in spite of the fact that the seam

Relief for Nebraska Butter Men.

An opinion by Attorney General Daugherty
| with reference to sour cream butter will bring
| great relief to the Nebraska butter men. 1t is
held that the addition OF neutralizer to correct
| the amount of acidity in the soured cream is
not an aduteraton in the meaning of the law,
and so will not be forbidden by the revenue
department.
One of the remarkable opinions coming
from the office of A. Mitchell Palmer under the
last administration was to the effect that the
process of making butter employed in Omaha
and elsewhere in Nebraska would subject the
product to heavy income tax as we'll as re-
quire that it be labeled "adulterated" when put
on the market. Protest was promptly made,
and the execution of the order was postponed
until after the Harding administration came III.
Collector Blair again postponed the order, and
only few days ago extended the postpone
ment until November, in order that the attorney
general might have time to complete his ex
animation and give an opinion. This opinion
came down on Tuesday, and amounts to giving
the Nebraska sour cream butter clear bill of
health.
AT no time was it shown that the butter
made in this state is lacking in any of the
qualities that 60 to make up high grade arti-
Gle, or that the addition of the slight amount of
alkali required to neutralize the excess acdty
had any deleterious effect on the butter. The
opinion was hung onto paragraph in the law
passed almost thirty years ago. which is rather
loosely worded as to its definition of adulter-
ants. An industry whose annual output runs
high into the millions of dollars was threatened
because of the unexpected application of tech
nical point This danger now is removed by
the opinion just rendered by the attorney gen.
eral, which will be followed by the resembling
of the order in the revenue department, and
Nebraska butter can go to the table, untroubled
by any faint Of illegality.

GEORGE l. Iilden.

Probably the most eloquent tribute that can
be paid to George L. Tilden's memory will be
contained in the statement that he was doctor
of the old school. This does not mean that he
did not keep abreast the progress science made
in the healing art while he was actively en-
gagged in the practice Of his profession; nor is
intended as a reflection on the doctors of today,
who live and work under conditions far diff
ferent from those of fifty years ago. When DR..
Tilden took up his work in the frontier town OF
Omaha he entered on a career of service that
only ended when exhausted physical faculties
compelled his retirement three years ago. Dur
ing half century he stood in the front ranks
OF Omaha doctors of medicine, and for forty
years of that time he was at the head of the
board that handled all the cases OF mental dis
order which required attention from the state.
This, and his activity in connection with the
pension service and other public activities kept
him before the people, although his own nature
was retiring and he did not court the distinction
that came to him as consequence of his abil-
ity His contributions to scientific annals were
notable, too, especially his reports on mental
ailments. As an intellectual leader, he had
full share in the development of the city of his
choice, and lived to see much of the seed he
helped to plant bear fruit Omaha can we'll af
ford to honor his memory and give him
proper place among its builders.

A Mans Cellar May Be His Brewery

Ever and anon the right prevails and this
time it was in the house of representatives, Mr..
Volstead of Minnesota not participating, that a
decision was reached which emancipates the
home brewery. A righteous decision, withal,
and one whose roots go back as far as Runny-
mede As mans house is his castle, so also
may mans cellar be his brewery. His still
may steam and his vat may fume, and he may
have such malt or vinous or even spirituous
liquor as he may desire for his own consump-
ton, the product of his own industry and ap-
paratus. But, woe betide him if he seek to
vend any portion of his output Then will he
become amenable to the law, and liable to suffer
any penalty that may be prescribed as cor
rective or for punitive purpose.
One of the unreasonable aspects OF the
enforcement of the prohibitory law has been
the invasion of the home by officers, acting on
suspicion or assumption. Pursuit of a possible
crime has led to the commission of an even
greater, though such is the peculiar temper OF
our courts that seldom is the violator OF the
sanctity of the home even censured let alone
visited with the wrath that should follow such
conduct. Zeal for repression of the liquor habit
and the determination of private plants for the
production of such connections as have been
substituted for the regularly ordained tpple is
now to be curbed to the extent that home brew
ing or distilling will be. interfered with only
when proof is present that the individual so en-
gagged intends to violate the law by selling his
wares. That which is intended for his own
personal use, or for his family, is immune from
seizure.
Whether this amendment to the law will
stand the test OF the senate is yet to be de-
termined. Sound reason supports it, however,
and the cause of prohibition will lose nothing
hv its enforcement.

and mice. In other words, what real farmer
needs is corps of bull snakes, about one to
the acre, to rid the place of vermin. One big
drawback to the arrangement is apparent. Most
of us are inclined to get excited, just as the ice
men did, when we see snake, and the average
man is not prepared to draw fine distinctions
when he encounters reptile casually. Either
he beats hasty retreat or he sets about to ex-
terminate the snake Therefore, however val
liable bull snake may be as an exterminator
of the pests he thrives upon, until he is pro-
vided with an easily distinguishable identihca-
ton mark or tag, he is apt to find that the war
fare commenced just after the original farmer

From, Form to Table.

How to span the gap between producer and
consumer IS a vital subject these days, espe-
cially vital in the case of the farmer and the
housewife. Once upon time the coming OF
summer brought to the table fresh fruits and
vegetables to refresh the jaded winter appetite.
Now there is very little difference between the
winter and summer menus, for the reason that
canned foods are much cheaper than those in
the original state, Fresh produce from the
farm and orchard is more and more difficult
to get and more and more expensive as the
summers roll around.
1t is not only the country and seashore no
tells that are guilty of depriving the summer
table of its share of fresh garden "sass" be-
cause the farmers ship it all to the city mar
kets. 1t is in the city restaurants and home
kitchens that the can opener is in constant use,
summer as we'll as winter. Who eats the ten
der green peas is mystery. Apparently. the
Gamer, highly useful conserver OF the sur
plus of perishable foods, is the only consumer
who can afford to buy them.
High prices for fresh grown produce do not
help the farmer if the public can not buy. The
farmer blames intermittenty the railroads, the
mddlemen and the consumer. Now comes
the spokesman of the California cooperative
marketing movement, who says that the farmer
has the remedy in his own hands Quantity
production followed by cooperative system
of distribution of the entire crop, cutting out
speculation, with the consequent waste due to
the periodic glutting and shortening of the mar
ket, is the method suggested. Because the
farmer produces individually is held to be no
reason why he should attempt to distribute his
crops the same way.
There seems to be sound sense in the ar
gument Certainly, present methods are not
satisfactory, and the farmer no less than the
consumer will benefit by an improvement. Mr.
Shapiro admits that most attempts at co-opera-
tive merchandising have failed, but he believes
e .ka1 FOR
kinds of produce and localities was the cause.
If the experiment is worth trying in California
it should be worth trying here in the east
New York Tribune.
