Newspaper Page Textsura emus FOLK How the Good Saint Visits Those Who BuOor Him Would Hunger on Christ mas Day Ten Million Such in This Land. By FREDERIC J. HASKIN (Copyright, 1808, by. Frederic J. Haakln.) Washington. . Dec. .'24.-It has been estimated by charity statisticians that there are at least 10,000,000 people In me tinned eta tea wno are ' pooriy clothed. Improperly housed, or underfed. In nearly, every principal city of the country one person' out of every five or nix gets municipal or private aid at some time during the year. There are over 80,000 people, enough to populate a city like Richmond. va locked up in prison, and as many more rind them selves in the almshouses of the land. With such astounding figures of pov erty before , them it la little wonder that the great charity organizations of i.iie imuuu are muvnu iu aeupvai . uny, and that they work so hard and so faithfully to banisk the pains of povert: least one day in me year. wit more than 6.000,000 hearts oppressed by the smothering, pangs of want, there is muo wonaer mat tne great neart ox the nation rises responsive to the call and gives food, raiment and cheer to the struggling; underworld, acquainting it with the blessings of plenty during tne aay ox worm wwe rejoicing. Everybody red on Christmas. In every city In the land the Salvation Army and other charitable organizations have arranged, to feed all who are home less, and to provide "baskets for the poor homes where - Christmas cheer might not be known but for their work. New York takes the lead in this direc tion. The home of the richest people of America, that city la no less the dwelling place of the poorest of the nation s population. Always at ine-neaa of the procession In the extent of Its charities and In the relatlveproportion of its aid to the poor,. New Xorft-lurns out on Christmas day to go her own record one better, and to outdo the whole world In deeds of kindness. Perhaps no less than 100,000 souls In that metropolis - know the joy of Christmas time through the hands of strangers, moved by that little touch of sympathy which makes the whole world kin. vNot even the poorest steer age passenger who has just landed In this home Of hope Is forgotten. Last vear there were a full thousand Imral- g rants at EUls island. Through the ountiful thought of that little sister uf the poor, Miss Helen Gould, every one of them had a Christmas dinner that might have delighted the king in the land from which they had come. Each child received a toy and each adult a carnation. Thus were they given a taste of that whole hearted helpfulness through which millions have trans formed their lives from . poverty ruled existence to affluence and useful citi zenship. " '. .

"It is well that I should speak to you a while upon a matter that is at tracting considerable attention, the trade in rotten eggs," he said. "A prominent lawyer," he continued, "who appeared for the defendants In these rotten egg cases the other day, asked for the discharge of his client on the ground that their trade is not in' conflict with the national law. I would like to have that lawyer come to my office. I would teach him one detail of his profession in which he la deficient I will show him the records of three convictions of dealers In de cayed eggs obtained under the national law. "This same lawyer, I am Informed, argued for the discharge of his people because, to quote him again, their eggs were not-adulterated. Nothing had been put in them to change their prop erties, to add to their contents nor to preserve them. , "I have heard of the acuteness of Philadelphia lawyers, but this one ap pears to have been a bit too keen.

We also say of foods under the scope of tne national taw mat anything nithy, putrid or decayed shall be held to be adulterated under the meaning of the act.

To quote a bit of Latin for the Philadelphia lawyer, I would say the only thing necessary would be to bring into court the corpus delicti. The Jury would not need to hear the evi dence. It could smell it. "The national law will not permit the sale of cold storage eggs under the general label of 'eggs.' They" must be labeled "cold storage eggs. The evil of this traffic Is that the eggs do not get Into cold" storage until they have been exposed for sale so long that they are on the verge of putrefaction. "I would advise that those who de sire to enforce the law go into the bakeries that buy this filth and seize the stuff before ft gets into the baked products, and that the firms that use the stuff be exposed."
