with-aesoott-aspossible?-This- is
what Mr. Gourdain of Chicago, con
victed of running an unlawful lottery
and sentenced to four and a half
years in the penitentiary, would like
to know. Pending some habeas cor
pus or other proceedings the author
ities refuse to commit him to prison,
though he with vociferation-and al
most -with violence demands sdmis
sion there, so as to be serving his
time, and he declares that if he is
not admitted at once he will build -a
miniature prison and inflict on him
self the penalty which the authorities
deny him. The fellow, may be only
making a play to attract public at
tention, but it would seem thst there
is some merit. in his contention, un
less behind the scenes he is prompt
ing his lawyers to keep him out of
jail while he is ostensibly trying to

in prison, he ought to have the priv

BUTTER AND MILK.
HATS in a color as to
butter? In the pure food
bill passed by congress
late in the recent session is a clause
prohibiting the coloring of butter.
This isunresQnbJe.fQiJt isnotthe
coloring that is objectionable but the
materials with which butter is some
times colored. Yellow' butter testes
better to some people, to the average
consumer, than white or pale butter,
although in reality, no better in in
trinsic quality orflayor. In theearjy
summer, when cows hsve plenty of
new, fresh grsss, butter naturally as
sumes a deep yellow color, but later,
and through the winter : months.
dairymen and butter manufacturers
resort to various devices to give butter-
the popular -tinge. This-csn- be
done to some extent in the fall and
winter by feeding the cows plentifully
on carrots, and ws suppose the lew
does not prohibit that. But it is said
that dairymen and butter-makers, in
order to gratify the eye rather than
The taste of consumers, have been in
the habit of using some other harm
leas vegetable coloring matter, to
whlc1rvigilantioodcommlssioners
seem to have made no objection.
There should be no objection to col
oring butter, to meet a popular de
mand or desire, so long as no de
leterious chemical substances are used
in the process. It is claimed that but
tercoJorfnpta preservative, and
that it does not affect the quality one
way or the other, but that it only
makes it look better, and to. some peo
ple better than it really is; but so
long at nothing injurious is used in
the process no harm is done.-People
demand pure food, among the rest
pure , butter; . but they -also demand
"golden yellow", and not white but
ter end there you afe. I If the butter
makers can color it withopt putting
anything harmful in it let them do so,
for yellow butter is demanded. But
poisonous or noxious chemicals 'must
be kept out and this is something for
our eagle-eyed food' inspectors to
"watch out for ;
. In this '-connection it might be
timely to repeat an often . reiterated
caution about milk?" We never had
the microbe mania, yet realize that
abaolutely pure milk is of the utmost
importance. ' Probably ten, perhaps
10Q people, counting infants and older
children, have suffered disease if not
death from impure milk where one
has been a victim of bad meat If
thereare- any mischievous -germs
sflost they will use any possible ve
hicle to get into milk, for which they
have more of an affinity than for any
other food substance. Yet milk, kept
clean and cool, and while fresh, is one
of the most heslthful and nourishing
of foods, especially for children.
The dairyman has become a very
important figure in our dietetic econ-
Lorny. . we cannot get along witnout
him, of course, and we have, to de
pend very much upon him. As a rule
we believe he iebonest snd con
scientious. . Yet o-important so
vital, is the matter of , dean, pure
milk, cspedaly in a family with child
ren In it, that he must-exeuss the nr
ban public for being! careful and
watchful Give the children pure,
fresh water and milk, and lots of
fresh air, and they are not likely to
be hurt by other things they' eat,
drink or inhale.
The efforts of Louis A. Gourdain
to force himself Into the Illinois pen
itentiary are tear-compelling. ' , The
courts have refused his piteous plea
for admission, snd there seems noth
ing left for him but to'tnild sin annex
to . the prison, hire a warden, lock
himself in, serve his sentence and take
to the vaudeville stage. ' '.';..

warmth of heart and feeling that often
determine character and conduct.
If the faoultlea ar Ood , given they
are given for working purpoee. If man
haa a mind and' yet may not think con
cerning the deepest and highest things
of his own nature and destiny, then the
giving of that mind or the permitting It
to develop is th most cruel mockery,
known to human history. - . .. - -
But the simple Jew of natur that
every faculty baa some purpose, that
no power Is without its duty, is the
answer to all this. The mind la as
sacred as the heart; It Is as much a
sacred duty to think a It Is to aspire.
There le nothing too holy for men to
think about to reason about The mind
must serve tha truth must with revar
ance lead te larger truth.
Ko man is religious who represses
any of hi reasoning faculties. Every
