king, and though she took care, in
1898, to lease nearly 400 miles of the
adjacent -Chinese mainland, in order
to make this outpost more secure
against attack, the Far East has come j
to think of Hong Kong less as a Brit* 1

commercial port, admirably admin- ,

South China. . I
*. Victoria, the city, stretches for four
miles along the northern shore of the
rocky island and faces the Kowfton
penii sula, separated firom it only by a
narrow strait only half a mile wide..
Above the city rises the famous
Peak, where the lucky people have
houses, high up out of the heat, and
whose summit can be reached quite
quickly in a miniature train that is
hauled up its steep sides like a lift,

New Cattle Feed for Army.
Compressed forage, composed of
H V pure oats and other grains, pressed into
bricks made with a binder oi
% molasses, has been successfully developed
ar. Camp Lewis. The bricks are
u2 inches long, 6 inches wide and 1% i
inches thick. Perforations make it
possible to break up the bricks by
-'hand if only portions are to be fed
to the army horses or mules. With
' the 'new compressed feed, it is pointed
out, a horse can go into battle carrying,
its rations as the soldier carrieshis
own. Tests were made on 50 animals
at Camp Lewis, and all but four
took readily to the new compressed
feed, according to tne report of the
chief caipp veterinarian. With the exception
of two -of the animals, all
gained weight and maintained their
working -efficiency. No sickness was
- observed. One stallion gained 4(3

CHARGES BROUGHT
' AGAINST MANUFACTURER.
' Washington, August 6.?Charges ck
conspiracy were brought against a
prominent manufacturer of sweetened'
condensed milk yesterday before the
senate sub-committee of agriculture
by Alfred R. Urion, attorney for the
Hebe Company, in a senate hearing
of the Voigt bill now pending. Added
to this was a recommendation to the
committee that thc-se charges be
turned over to the Federal Trade
Commission for further investigation
and corroboration.
The charges marked' a sensational
develoment in the hearing of the
Voigt bill now pending. Added to
this was a recommendation to rtie
committee that these charges be
turned over to the Federal Trade
Commission for further investigation
and corroboration.
* The charges marked a sensational
development in the hearing of the
Voigt bill before Senators McKinley,
01' Illinois; Ladd. of North Dakota,
and Hendricks, of Wyoming, and re'vealed
testimony which alleged that
the condensed milk manufacturer, has
fostered the Voigt bill which aims to
'prohibit -the interstate shipment of
skimmed milk compounds. These, it
'was shown, a<ejrn;xturs of refined co
coanut or other vegetable fats with
pure skimmed milk in the ratio that
butter is found in whole milk and are
sold on the market as cooking and i
baking fluids. <
/ i
Under cross examination J. Wal- |
lace Bryan, an attorney representing '
the dairy interests who favor tfce bill,
admitted that he also was representing
the condensed milk manufacturer.
In addition a letter was offered to the '
< m.
'senate committee written by Walter '
Engels, legal representative of the
company, to R. W. Balderston, J
t ,
president of a milk producers/associa- '
tior., in which he stated that he was
forwarding a draft of a bill against
skimmed milk compounds lor Penn- t
'sylvania "which will do for a starter." (
Dr. Joseph Brenner.man, head ofj
the Children's Memorial Hospital of
Chicago, appeared befofe the commit- 1
tee yesterday and testified that in, his '
opinion sweetened condensed milk !
was the most harmful food that could
be fed to an infant. "In my opinion,"
he said, "the wide-spread use of
this food is the most pernicious thing
in our system of infant feeding and
has done more to nijure the health of
our children than any other one
thing. This contains forty-two per
cent of sugar which is far more than
should be given to an infant."
He made this statement in connection
-wi-th testimony supporting the
nlaimR nf nnnnnontc nf 1-Tio Vnip-f
?ill .that skimmed milk compounds
are wholesome and nutritious articles
of food an<J that they have a distinct
place in the list of available foods.
