THE COLD STORAGE BILL.

In our summary of. the good work done by the legislature we omitted to mention the law regulating the cold storage business in Indiana. Under this law all food products placed in storage, except those destined for interstate shipment, must be “marked, stamped and tagged” with the date of their receipt, and also the date of their removal from storage. Food products shall not be held longer than nine months. In case any meat, fish, butter, eggs, cheese, poultry, game, fruits or farm and garden products, or other perishable food products, are left in storage longer than nine months, it is made the duty of the manager of the storehouse to report the same to the,state board of health. And it is made the duty of the board to inform the nearest judge or justice of the peace that the goods have been stored longer than nine months, and the judge is empowered to Order the destruction of the products. Eggs that have been stored for more than thirty days must be placed in a receptacle marked “cold storage” when they are offered for sale, and the container in which eggs are delivered for consumption must be thus marked.

Persons conducting a cold storage business must keep accurate records of the food stored, which records shall at all times be open to the inspection of the board of health, which ,shall issue licenses for cold storage warehouses. Of course, the state board of health is to have power to inspect, not merely the records, but the plants themselves, and the food stored therein at'all times. Such legislation as this is greatly needed. For though cold storage is a blessing when the business is rightly carried on, it is a serious menace to health when it is not carried on. There ' are economic j considerations also that are important. Men have used the cold storage plants to limit the food supply, to create a monopoly, and ; so to force up prices. In other , .words, the effort has been to! manufacture an artificial scarcity.! 'Ticods have been put in cold storage, not to save them for future use, but to keep them out of the rna ket until such time as ‘the price was “right”, jfor the ( sellers of the goods. But even this, is not the worst: of it. Bad as it was thus to lift prices, the waste and destruction of foodstuffs that had been held too long was even worse. That much food has thus been lost is certain. Greed overreached itself, and the -result was that the food, being utterly unfit for consumption, had to be destroyed. The new law will do something to check evils. The legislature is entitled to the gratitude o f the people for having passed it. The people have a right to know whether they are buying cold storage products or not, and if so they should know how long they have been stored. The law is one that was greatly needed. ■>—lndianapolis News.

NEW LIQUOR LAW.

Synopsis of the Proctor Regulation Measure Recently En- * acted. f i The new liquor law, known as thb Proctor bill, which went into effect Saturday,, March 4, when it was signed by Governor Marshall, while it does not repeal to any great extent any of the existing laws on the subject of intoxicating liquors, possesses many new features relative to the licensing of the liquor business, principally the following: The county license will now cost the saloon keeper S2OO, instead of SIOO as heretofore. To this may be added SSOO in cities and S3OO in towns, providing the common councils or town boards shall within 30 days so determine. In case they do not,’then the license fee payable in cities of the first and second classes shall be S3OO, all other cities S2OO, and in towns SSO. Should the cities and towns fail to put the license fee above the sums provided by law, within the time specified, they shall never thereafter have the right to do so. In townships outside of incorporated municipalities, where the premises are located more than two miles from the corporate lines of such municipalities, the holder of the license must pay to the township trustee the sum of SSO, in addition to the county license, but should the premises be located within the two mile limit, then the licensee is required to pay to the town or city adjoining, its license fee, instead of that to the township. All licenses and renewals are granted for a period of no more nor less’ than one year.

.Sales arc prohibited on Sundays, all legal holidays, and in cities of the first and second classes between the hours of midnight and 5 o’clock a. m., in all other cities between the hours of 11 o’clock p. m., and 5 o’clock a. m., and in towns and other places between the hours of 10 o’clock p. m., and 5 o’clock a. m. Under the provisions of this act, the number of saloons to he hereafter licensed is restricted to one for each 500 of population, unless the Board of County Commissioners shall at its first session after the law goes into effect, further restrict the number to one for one thousand inhabitants. • • No person who did not possess a license at the time the act became a law can be granted permission to sell, unless the licenses then in force were less in number, in the particular political subdivision whereevcf the applicant applies than! { l ie total number therm allowed, according to the population of that particular city, town or .township, bu the law provides that those holding license under former laws, who possess the other necessary j qualifications may he grantejd li- : censes, regardless of the restriction.

Hereafter, any person applying for a new license, or a renewal of the old one. must prove that he is a citizen of the United States, or if he is not such citizen, he must show that he has declared his intention to become a citizen and that he has been a resident of Indiana for a period of ten years or more. It must also he conclusively [shown by an applicant for.a license. that he is a person of good moral character, over the age ot 21 years; that he has not been convicted of a felony within 15 years; that lie has not been convicted the second time within two years 'of the violation of any of the liquor laws; that he is the bona-fide owner of the business, and is the owner of. or a bonafide lessee of the building wherein he proposes to \f engaged, and i hat no other person, firm or c .r-

poration is in anywise interested in, or the owner of any of the stock or fixtures, used in the operation of the saloon. After a license has once been procured under this law. and the saloonkeeper does not violate anv of "he liquor laws or "regulations, he may, under its terms, each year thereafter apply to the Byard of Commissioners for a.certificate of renewal of the license, but. he must publish notice for the same period as is required for the granting of the license in the first instance. Any license, or a renewal thereof, may be transferred by the holder, to an)' other qualified person, or it may be transferred to another place of business within the city, town or township where first granted, but any such transfer must be first authorized by the Commissioners, after the holder shall have pub- : lished notice of his intention to apply for such transfer. Any voter of the city, town or town-

ship may, however, remonstrate in writing against the transfer of the license from place to place, or from one person to another, which remonstrance shall be tried before the Board of Commissioners in the same manner as like remonstrances are tried against the granting of licenses. Any license, or renewal thereof shall be revoked by the Commissioners granting the same, upon written verified complaint, by any legal voter of the city, town or township, whenever upon hearing it shall be made to appear that the licensee has, within the year preceding, been guilty of felony, or of violation of the laws in restraint of lewdness, or of gross immorality, or has within, two years been adjudged guilty for the third time of violating any of the liquor laws, or if the licensee fails to pay any city, town or township, the sum to be paid to it, as fixed by the act. For minor violations rby the licensee, the Board of Commissioners may also suspend the license for various periods.

Humor and Philosophy

PERT PARAGRAPHS. MAN can’t understand why a wo man fusses around with her face, but watch him hustle for help when he finds the thatch leaking atop his head. Useless to try to make a married woman believe in masculine angels. -A woman blames mother-in-law for husband's shortcomings and daughter-in-law for son’s. It often costs a lot of hard cash to convince some men that they can’t pick a winner. When a man can't make a large enough fuel of himself he gets a wo? man to help, and the community is usually satisfied with the result. Most of the men who yell for opportunity wouldn’t know one if It came under the guise of work. When a woman can’t think of anything else, to do she worries because Johnny hasn't had measles yet. A woman can wear any old thing to weekly prayer meeting, but if she hasn’t a new outfit for Easter Sunday she finds it necessary to get the dinner herself;

“$o you are his sixth wife?" ‘Yes.’* “It mngt be hard to please him.” “Please him? lie minds automatically.”

Some Record. An ingenious citizen of Virginia having stolen 1.000 chickens is rated ns the champion < hicken thief of the country As he stole most of them one at a time he must have had some busy nights. But after A man has be<nx at anything for a long while he begins to lt>ok on it as his trade, and probably our hero went to bis task each night as cheerfully as the ordinary mantrots off in the mtyniir.g with his din ncr pail. ' He must have been at it nearly every every night, f-r a man like that if be skipi-ed one moonlight evening would hate to have his children crying for chicken and .to hear his wife say: “There ain't none. Your pa was too lazy last irght to bring one home.” Doubtless in time he felt that his calling was as legitimate as some of the trust magnates come to regard theirs.

SPRING RIDING HABIT.

What the Up to Date Equestrienne Will Wear.

BEADY FOB THE HORSEBACK RIDE.

Women are taking more and more to horseback riding as a means of keeping themselves in form, but of course there are many who ride merely for the love of the exercise. Whatever the object of the sport, every woman who rides wants to be turned out in the latest and most approved riding togs. A dowdy looking woman on horseback Is an unforgivable object. She won’t be a dowd. however, if she goes to a good tailor and follows the idea of the riding costume •seen in the illustration. The skirt is a divided affair made of English suiting, and the details are correct in every particular. -

Memorial to Famous Women.

The lady chapel of the new Liverpool cathedral, which is to be opened next summer, has a scheme of beautiful stained glass windows commemorative of the noble deeds of good women. Besides the famous women of the Bible the following are commemorated: Dr. Alloa Marvel and all who have laid down their lives for their sisters, Grace Darling and all courageous maidens. Josephine Buffet and all brave champions of purity. Mary Collet and all prayerful women. Louise Stewart and all the noble army of martyrs, Christine Rossetti nnd ail sweet singers. Catherine Gladstone and all loyal hearted wives, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and all women who have seen the infinite in things, Angela Burdette-Coutts and all women, almoners of the King of heaven. Mother Cecile and all women loving and large hearted In counsel. ~ J

How to Use Sawdust.

Sawdust may be made to serve a number of purposes for the housewife. It Is good for removing sediment in glass and earthen ware. A handful thrown on a dying fire will help to revive it. Well dried and heated and sprinkled over grease spots in carpets, it is useful in removing these objectionable marks. It should be well rubbed in. left for a few hours, then treated again if necessary. Heat some sawdust on a piece of paper in the oven, and it is an excellent remedy for mildew- and damp spots on metal or other polished goods. Rub some dry sawdust on - articles that have been polished and the polish will last longer. Slightly moistened sawdust sprinkled on outhouse floors, verandas or larder, etc., and brushed off with a hard broom will clean the floor without much troubje.
