Probably there is not a fireman, not policeman employed by this city ho would not want to be considered he best sort of firemen, lcemarn possible. There are certain physical advan- ges possessed by men which will ke them naturally better firemen nd better policemen than others. But here is a great deal to learn in either ocation, aside from fatte's in connection with their ser- ce, and aside from their gaining of owledge to make the best hose physical advantages. Tha policemen, for instance, must posted to a certain extent on the jw—what they have a right to do, hat they have no right to do, and hat they should do. They should ow the city thoroughly, of course, the best po- the mechanical use of they are the men to whom a stranz- turns for direction. So with the firemen.

If there a general or special committee £ the common council or out of it, ointed to take care of general rules oncerning a line of business or of Ay other matter including one class affairs, it seems to be the idea that 2 man is bothered by something ping within that group of matters ing investigated by that committee, peal to it should be made to abate at he calls a “nuisance,” merely be- jause that committee is studying those fairs. The case of ‘the gas pump which is ged to be a nuisance, is one in oint. There is a committee trying decide what stand shall be taken bout placing them, as a general rule, the curb. The gas pump by the Bethany h was alleged to be a nuisance. fhe proper action to he taken was have a committee appointed to find if it was a nuisance in fact, and 80 to have it removed without con- ting the special committee of the lommen Council appointed to inves- Jate the general stand to be taken jarding gas pymps on the curb. The mé had no more relation to the other jban if the gas pump had been ning heap of rubbish, and the pecial committee had been dppointed investigate the condition of elec- i¢ poles about the city. When the matter came up in the flommon Council the greatest lack of !fl’[lxen! was displayed It did not eem to be known what proceedure hould be taken. Even one o6f level-headed of the yggested reference of this petition the abatement of a nuisance to general committee which had noth- g te do with nuisances, as such, but perely with the general matter mong which this alleged nuisance appened to fall. True he changed pis opinion 2s the mayor asked what lief might be gained in that way, md finally directed the proper pro- :edure.

General commit- tees should investighte the class of affairs which they are appointed to look into generally and should be guided by no one speciai case which 1s alleged to be a nuisance, and about which there may be peculiarly dis- tinguishing characteristics. “FILLED MILK.” There appears to be danger that certain brands of ‘“filled milk"— skimmed milk fattened with cocoa- nut oil—will be sold freely in the West, in place of standard brands of condensed milk made up of the whole milk including the “‘butter fats” which are taken from the “filled milk” be- fore the cocoanut oil is substituted. Dr. McCollum and other scientists declare that while vegetable faus (such as cocoanut oil) may be whole- some they do not have the vitamines which are essential to animal growths. “In America we run dairy farms,”’ says the September number of “Farm Life.” *“We do not keep cocoanut cows and are interested in producing and selling whole cows’ milk, the most most nutritive and delicious of all foods. We ought not to buy or seil “filled milk” under the belief that jt is whole milk. The label, of course, explains the contents—but who reads the label? . .. Dairy organizations are united in supporting the Voight filled milk bill before Congress, and they declare that it should have the endorsement of both the consuming public and the dairy producing public.” The Voigt bill, it is understood, places a high tax on filled milk, and would render its production unprofit- able in competion with whole milk. As intimated by Dr. McCollum, although the skimmed milk with some vegetable fats added may be wholesome it is not whole milk, and there should be a law passed, such as the Voigt law, providing against errors or keeping off the market something easily mistaken for a substitute. Those who heard Dr. Williams speak in this city ‘last year realize the necessity of vitamines in our food. When whole milk is prescribed it is generally advised because of the vitamines it possesses. Thus the ‘filled” milk, which is being used to such an extent in the West, in the place of standard brands of con- densed milk, lack the very quality so essential when milk is deemed es- specially needed. “PASSING THE BUCK.” | People of New Britain, and, in fact; the wiole New England sector should be intercsted in a recent railroad edict | which has not vet been put in effect ich the New Engiand Traffic League is trying to block.

The bulletin goes on to state that a conference was recently held in Chi- cago between interested carriers and shippers and a tentative scale of rates was agreed upon. Eastern shippers were carefully kept in ignorance of the meeting and were allowed no rep- resentatives. At this time, we sur- mise, that favorite pastime, ‘‘passing the buck” was indulged in. The ten- tative scale’would make the first class rate trom Chicago to Atlanta, Georgia, $2.10 per hundred pounds, the same as it is frem New York. The rate from Roston woyld be eight cents per hundred pounds higher than from New York or from Chicago. At the present time the first tlass rate from Chicage is 38 cénts higher than from Boston. Therefore the tentative' scale means a reduction of 46 cents per hundred from Chicago. This, again quoting from the bulletin would proveé a serious handicap t> New England and Eastern Seaboard territory ship- pers, aad perhaps prevent thém from holding on to their southeastern trade, which is long established, and will surely prevent them from expanding or increasing their busimess in that territory. The New England Traffic Leazue is preparing to contest this disturbance of relatienship, and will maka every effort to hold the present adjustments which is of long standing and to which we are entitled account of our water transportation. A large fund will have to be subscribed to defray the legal expense and compiling of data necessary for conducting the case before the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Traffic League with a membership representing over 200 industries in New England, is insistent that we 1n New Eng- land are entitled to the benefits of our water competition with the rail carriers and that the relation- ship between the rates in this ter- ritory and the rates from territory lying west of Buffalo and Pitts- burgh be maintained. New Eng- land’s industries’ trade with this territory has beeen built upon the present rate structure, which is no hardship on the Central West manufacturer or shipper, and to disturb tpis long standing rela- tion:-hip of rates would result in a serious handicap and loss to New England and the Eastern Seaboard territéry generally. Although this is a matter of vital interést to the eastern factories, it al- so concerns eastern labor. When the competition becomes prohibitive to manufacturing it seriously affects the workman who must preduce the goods to earn his living. Lét us all hope that the New England Traffic League will be able to attain its object of a more equal rate than is proposed and clinch its argument of water trans- portation, THE LASH OF THE EYES. Most men know how éyes, eves of the sex that is fair, may lash—or lanquish. Vague, indefinite, but none the less interesting, have been rumors that "women have discovered a new way to make themselves what they call attractive. The rain of Grand Prix Day Paris prought forth the truth. In Dauville, during thé last few seasons, women have made many ex- periments in new methods of attrac- tion. 'Tis said that from there came the bare leg fad, flesh-colored dresses, paint as a substitute for stockings. But this year there were produced artificial eyelashes made of a veny light silk fabric pasted to the eye- lids, harmonizing in color with the shade of the eyes, the toute en semble of the toilette. The Women were prepared to come out fortified by these dainty, dexter- ously designed dimmers of the glance on Grand Prix Day. But the unsympa- thetic rain fell; the ardor of the eye- lashes faded and then came the pa- thetic drooping of the wonderful little silken things much as tears would have spoiled their beauty. The wearers of the beautiful evelashes of silk rushed home and wept copiously, completing the havoc created by the downpour outside. But it is predicted that, with the determination of the sex in matters of beoauty, the silk eyelashes will rise again as they dry, and may yet bring the complete downfall of sus- ceptible man, if they have not done so already in advanced America. in “Cannet be Sure About the Tax Bill Until It's Passed,” headline.

DRESEL HAS PEACE PACT| MAKES MUCH MONEY For the Time Being, Germany|Has Reached Greatest Production Discusses Situation Pro and Gon Berlin, Aug. 23.—Final 1instructions relative to the treaty of peace between the United States and Germany have been received from Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes by Ellis Loring Dresel, U. S. commissioner here, and the treaty now awaits signature by the German government. It is now expected the document will be signed in the next few days at a special meeting of the cabinet which will be attended by President Ebert. The document will bear the president’s signature and will be countersigned either by Dr. Joseph H. Wirth, the chancellor or Dr. Friedrich Rosen, t foreign minister. Newspaper Comment. For the first time since the peace negotiations have been in the newspapers of Berlin are giving the subject extended consideration ap- parently much to the embarrassment of the government which hitherto has succeeded in keeping all discussion out of the public prints. Editorial comments have been wholly non-com- mittal, but they have concurred expressing satisfaction over the pros- pect of early resumption of friendiy relations with the last of the nations whi¢h were either active belligerents or with which diptomatic intercourze was interrupted. The Freiheit independent socialist organ welcomes the impending peace in the interest of the working classes, and expresses belief that the Reichstag will not oppose ratification of the treaty with the United State: The Tageblatt declares it has learned that the treaty would provide ample reservations respecting the safeguarding German private proper ty in the United States, the Washing- ton government merely claiming the right of ‘retentio untii claims against Gérmany have been satisfied Confidence is expressed by the news- paper that these claims will be met by the German government without the necessity of converting the private propery of German subjects into cash.

A new recora has been set in the coining of silver dollars, upon whieh the energies of the plant have been concentrated in order to replace the 350,000,000 coins of that denomina- tion mglted down in the course of the war to sell to the English as bullion.

To cover the loss in currency, short term certifi- cates of indebtedness bearing two per cent interest were issyed. - The dollars now being coined permit the issuance of new silver certificates, which are being used in ealling in the certificates of indebtedness. The Philadelphia plant is turning out as much as the government's two other mints, San Francisco and Den- ver combined, but nevertheless, it probably will take two years to re- place the coins melted. + SENATE PASSES APPROPRIATION Washington, Aug. 23.—An appre- priation of $200,000 was authorized By the senate last night to enable the secretary of agriculture to provide clerical and other assistants for the enforcement of the packers control act.
