Bouquets on Ice The lovely :ferns: that grow deep in the Northern woods —and the shiny laurel of the Southern Blue Ridge Moun- tains are now being gathered and put into cold storage for our next winter's bouquets. f it weren't for the fact that Christmas ropes of laurel are made and stored in summer the price of greens at Christ- mas would be almost prohibi- tive. So icé not only reduces the cost of living by keeping foods fresh from the time of plenty to the time of scarcity, but gives us summer bouquets * in winter at less than green- house products.

ADAMS, Faintze, i } McHUGH & LAWSON G BON- | at 14th and W | CALLS FILLED MILK WHOLESOME DIET Dr. Joseph Goldberger Testi- fies Before Senate Commit- tee on the Voigt Bill. ACCUSED BORDEN CO. Attorney for Corporation, at Final Hearing, Denies Conspiracy to Influence Legislation. Testimony by Dr. Joseph Gold- berger of the United States Public Health Service to the effect that filled milk is not deleterious nor an “adul- terated” article of food, and a de- nial by J. Wallace Bryan, attorney for the Borden's Condensed Milk, Company, that the company had | itaken part in a “conspiracy” with milk producers to put filled milk out of business were the features of yesterday's closing hearing on the Voigt anti-filled milk bill before a Senate subcommittee. “In my judgment,” said Dr. Gold- berger, “It would be going too far to prohibit the manufacture and use of a wholesome and nutritious arti- cle of f00d,” referring to filled milk. “As a public health officer. would you consider it proper to seil filled milk,” “asked Senator McKinley, chairman of the subcommittee. “Yes, I would,” replied Dr. Gold- { berger. { Helps to Blot Out Pellagra. Dr. Goldberger said that he had been conducting experiments in re- gard to pellagra, and had found that the disease was due in large part to a defect in the diet—a lack of pro- teins, which are found in skimmed milk, from which filled milk is made, to the same extent they are found in whole milk. He pointed out it{ was not possible for many persons | to get fresh whole milk cheaply. and he believed it wise to make accedsi- bI® to thess people a cheap article of food, such as filled milk. which “would help to blot out the disease.” Dr. Goldberger told the comittee, too, that he was not convinced that the dairy industry needed protect against the filled milk industry, to obtain the skimmed milk for man- ufacturing filled milk it is necessary first to produce the whole milk Demands Retraction of Charge. Mr. Bryan, replying to charges made earlier in the hearings that the Borden company was engaged in a conspiracy to obtain legislation to put the filled milk producers out of busi- | ness, denied absolutely that this was the case. He insisted that the o; ponents of the Voigt bill had produ ed no evidence of the alleged conspir- acy and demanded that they with- draw the charge. The attorneys for the filled milk producers, however, re- mained silent, apparently declining to withdraw the charge. ! Mr. Bryan said the charge of con- spiracy had been made to becloud th. real issue and to obtain the publicity | which sensational charges usually bring. He explained the Borden com- pany's conection with the Voigt bill and why it was supporting the meas- ure. He said the Borden company never heard of the bill until it had ibeen introduced in the House. He ad- mitted that the Borden company was interested in the legislation and had co-operated with proponents of the bill. He said Walter Engles, manager of the legal department of Borden's company, had appeared in favor of the bill during the hearings before the House committee, at the request of Mr. Balderson, representing some of the dairy interests. The bill, he said, | was not engineered or fathered by the Borden company. Reasons for Advocating Measure. The principal reason why the Bor- den company was interested in the passage of the bill, Mr. Bryan said, was that if filled milk were allowed | to come on the market in such quan- | tities as to submerge the market it | would create a revuision of the pul lic against all canned milks. This| would result in destroying the mar- ket for evaporated and condensed whole milks, he said. Mr. Bryan argued that the Voigt| bill, which proposes to prohibit the interstate and foreign shipment of filled milk through the powers of | Congress to regulate interstate and | foreign commerce, was constitutional. [R. W. Jackman of counsel for the| i filled-milk producers took excepfion | to this statement and declared that it would be an invasion of the police powers of the states by the federal | i Congress.

COURT EASY ON WIFE. jDismisses Three Charges After Learning of Home Affairs. . | A husband’s failure to stand by his | wife after she declared she had earn- ed money and given it to him so that he might be comfortable, caused Judge McMahon, presiding in the United States branch of the Police Court, to reverse Judgement and dis- miss ‘three charges that had been placed against the woman. The prisoner, Mrs. Julia A. Kidd of 224% Quincy street, was accused of assaulting & policeman, disorderly conduct and harboring an unlicensed dog. The assault occurred, it was tes- tifled, when the officer complained about the dog not having a license. Mrs. Kidd testified that she worked and turned her earnings over to her husband. She also gave him money she received from the government through the death of her son fn France, she sa{d. This, together with Mr. Kidd’s failure to help his wife, caused the court to remit a fine of $15 it had fmposed. SEEKS MISSING -BOY.
