"In a pure food case that was taken up from I 'inladelphia to the supreme court of Pennsylvania," says Public. Policy, "the plea was made that the law is not violated unless the quanity of foreign substance in a food staple is sufficient to injure health." The su preme court decision is that any poi sonous ingredient, whether in quanity to injure health or not is a violation of the statute. The cry goes up that this "will aiTect 20 per cent of the stock of the average dealer." If one-fifth of the merchandise sold for food contains poi sonous ingredients there is a startling necessity for active measures. The stupid plea that the poison is not enough in any one article to hurt the consumer indicates that the vendors nover give enough thought to any as pect of the question, but the pursuit of the nimble dime and nickel to learn the etfect of the cumulative poisoning. Certainly when we hear from the trade itself that the practice of mixing poi son 11 food has attained a 20 per cent prevalence, it is time for strenuous euppression aimed with the most vigor at the manufacturers of such articles. In view of the above, bad you not hatter buy Clifton flour, a flour guar anteed by the Anti-Adulteration League'.-' Bransford Mills, Owensboro, Ky.

OP INTENSE INTEREST TO FARMERS. How High Priced Beef and Cotton Seed The Texas Cotton Seed Crusher*' Association at a late meeting held In Texas, passed a resolution rnnflrminj that the high price of beef was due to a- shortage In seed products. The fol lowing taken from the Cotton and Farm Journal, throws some light upon this subject: "The rules adopted by the Texas Cotton Seed Crushers' Association puta it In tine with the other associations of a similar kind in the South. It is prob? able that there will be no more Invas ion of Mississippi and Alabama by Texas mills In search of seed. "The cattlemen who were expected here to expostulate over their alleged bad treatment during the pust year have not put In appearance as yet, and may not. The crushers do not seem concerned over the threat of some of the cattlemen to operate their own mills. The fact that the Swift Com pany hus recently purchased half a dozen mills at different points was not commented on by any of the crush ers to whom It was mentioned, save to the effect that Swift would probably be able to use more feed than those mills would provide!* "A resolution was adopted deprecat ing 'any act of congress that may tend to reduce the price of cattle and hogs,' and alleging that the present high price of meat Is due 'to a shortage In seed products." " This would seem to show there were two sides to this question of high beef and that In so far as Texas Is concerned the price of beef Is bound to vary with the price of cotton seed hulls and cot ton seed meal. In proportion as the grass area of Texas has diminished, the cattle-raisers have been compelled to buy feed stuffs, and the only avail able feed-stulTs In quantity Is cotton seed hulls ami cotton seed meal. Hulls have been selling within the last year or two In Texas us high as $14 a ton. This means that the meat supply In the future Is largely dependent upon the cotton seed oil business, and that the people of the Southeastern States will probably go much more extensively Into the business of raising caitle for beef purposes after they llnd out as much about the values of hulls and meal as the Texas cattle man has found out by the necessities of the case. It would seem us though the eastern farmer now has the advantage of the Texan In raising cattle for beef purposes and in handling cattle for dairy purposes. All the cotton seed products that are needed for cattle raising and compe tition with other markets can be had right at home through the Southern Cotton Oil Company of the Carolinas and Georgia, through any of its mills or Its headquarters at Columbia, S.
