Third floor.. TALK PURE FOODS Consumers' League Meets in Open Session. DISCUSSES NEEDS OF CITY Kxperts Urge Carefulness in Selec tion of Edibles, Declaring That Unsanitary Conditions Exist in the Portland Markets. Adulteration of food, the dangers of dust, the fight against disease these were some of the questions considered at the open meeting; of the Consumers' League held yesterday afternoon at the Unitarian Chapel. Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, market Inspector, told of some of the unbelievable conditions which she found among the Portland - markets, and Miss Lillian Tingle, domestlo sci ence teacher, supplemented her address by telling; of conditions two years ago, when the responsibility for oonditlons pertaining to the health of the city was shifted from one official to an other. These conditions, she said, are better now than they were then, but much can be done for their improve ment. rr. Ray Matson. bacteriologist for the City Board of Health, showed a number of plates demonstrating; the growth on culture media of the germs found In dust. Mra JL. JG. Rockey. chairman of the league's pure-food committee, presid ed, and in regard to the National pure food law, said: "Impure food, and food falsely la beled, can, under the new law, be made and sold In the state of manufacture, but cannot be shipped over the state line. This haa called for a state pure food law here, which we have. The Consumers' League was organized pri marily for the purpose of bettering the oonditlons surrounding the manu facture of garments, but we are also deeply interested in pure-food prod ucts." ' Mrs. Evans then said in part: "In making my rounds and looking into the conditions of the stores, par ticularly the meat markets, I have found conditions which, if I should re late to you in detail, would cause you all to go home and eat boiled potatoes without the meat. Buyers Must Use Care. "The market Inspector visits the gro ceries, bakeries, creameries, canneries, restaurants, in fact, every place where food of any kind is prepared. It is impossible for one person, or even the whole Health Department, to do more than skim over all these places. The only ordinance we have in the city is one passed last year preventing berry boxes from being used the second time. Thus you will see that the only way for the public health to be protected Is for the consumer to take the matter into his or her own hands and see that at least clean food is sold. With this end in view there are four things which all consumers should do. "First Do your marketing person ally, not over the telephone. If you saw some of the food which your deal er fixes up for you at the store or market you would not think of eating it. "Second Demand personal cleanli ness of the dealer and his employes. "Third Demand well-ventilated, san itary places of business. Some of the market places, especially the meat mar kets, are in a very bad condition. "Fourth, Insist that the foods be cov ered aod kept free from contamination. When these things are done the sun of the market Inspector has set." Miss Tingle said In substance: "A few days ago I reread with much In terest the facts relating to the clean market crusade of two years ago. An interesting point was the shifting of the responsibility by each person Interviewed on the matter. The article showed that responsibility comes back in the end to the housekeeper, the all-powerful "woman who spends. Not every woman can de fect adulteration in foods, but each should be a Judge of cleanliness. Mar ketmen and manufacturers are but hu man, and will surely go the way of profit. Cleanliness must be made profitable. If It Is It will become the fashion. Other wise It will not." Speaks on Adulteration. Dr. Robert C. Tenney, secretary of the Slate Board of Health, spoke of food adulteration, telling of the object of adul teration and some of the agents used. Two frauds, he said, are practiced; that of substitution, and the mixing of one food with a cheaper article. As a re sult of these two forms of fraud dis ease, he said, often gains a foothold In the human system, this sometimes being of short duration and simple, at other times chronic and complicated. Dr. C. H. Wheeler, City Health Officer, then said that he has an ordinance pre pared and now in the hands of the City Attorney for revision, which Is very stringent In regard to the preparation or adulteration of food supplies in general. Dr. B. A. Pierce, of the Open Air Sani tarium, told of the dangers of dust. Dr. Matson also demonstrated that disease Is to be found in dust. He showed what the dust germs will do on material espe cially prepared for their incubation. Various plates were shown, these having been exposed near meat, strawberries, cheese, candy, pickles and figs. An ex posure of three seconds to the dust In a room had developed 10 colonies of germs.

BELATED VOTERS REGISTER BOOKS OPENED BY THE CITY COTTNCIIS ORDER. Rush at Courthouse, Where Many Take Avail of Last Opportunity to Qualify,. No sooner had the doors of the County Clerk's office swung open yesterday morning, than a long line of registering delinquents began to crowd each other up to the long counters, where five coatless deputies were getting their weap ons ready for another attack at the registration books, which County Clerk Fields opened by order of a resolution unanimously passed by the Council at a special session yesterday. When the books were closed last night 636 legal voters had registered, of whom 451 were new, and out of this number 291 were Republicans, S3 Democrats and 67 belonged to miscellaneous parties. There were 185 changes made in the names of those who have already registered. . Police Officer Smith was on duty at the counter all day, keeping the men in line. Mr. Fields waited for some time expect ing to receive his orders from the Council chamber, but finally went to the City Hall, and found the members in ses sion but City Attorney McNary was miss ing. After he had arrived and assured the Council that a resolution to open the registration books- would be legal if passed, no time was lost In taking action. An ordinance was Introduced by Coun cilman Annand, and passed under a sus pension of the rules. Councilman An nand said this ordinance was for the purpose of compelling Mayor Lane to show Ms hand, and that he could either sign or veto it, but that It was the desire of the member to know whether he in tended to give the voters a souare deal. When the -Council was called to oxdacJ Mayor Lane smiled complacently over the assembl) and said: "Well, gentlemen, how many votes are you shy?" Councilman Baker explained the special call of the body, and stated that a large number of voters had failed to register. He said County Clerk Fields would open the books If the Council au thorized him to and that It would be as fair for one political party as another to do so. Cbuncilmen Rushlight and Booths both raised the question as to the legality of such action, but City Attorney McNary ruled there la no question, that all voters who registered would be permitted to vote. Last night the line lengthened until It reached the sidewalk on the Fourth street side, two abreast. Two days more are left in which every voter who has not registered will have a chance to do so.
