The day of tha Imported Westpha Ilia ham, frankfurter, vervelalt saus age pate de fol grss and similar delil cateanen commodities Is allmost pass ed. Under the new meat Inspection law It will be Impossible to transport these products from State to State, although it la probable that they can be sold In the State Into which they are Imported. The meat Inspection law requires that all food animals must be in spected by the representatives of tha Secretary of Agriculture at the time of slaughter, and the producta watched through the various stages of their preparation and finally tagged by the Federal inspectors. It pro vides further that no meats or meat producta shall be carried In Inter State commerce . by any common carrier unless they are branded, proving that they have been so In spected. I'HOVIDRR FOR DOO MEAT. In vlflw of the fact that Germany haa recently piuioed, and that the Herman Kmperor has signed, a meat Inspection law which specifically pro vides for the slaughter of dogs for human food, providing only that their entrails must nut bo offered for con sumption, the average American cltl sen will probably regard himself Just ss well off without the German sau sage and similar delicacies, and even forego the pato de foi graa, which may be made In whole or in part ot canine livers. Under the authority conferred on him some time ago. Secretary Wilson is now subjecting to the closest scrutiny all imported food and food products, with a view to excluding all which contain sub stances deleterious to health, and he la doubtless succeeding, although it la problematical how far In hla pro cess of exclusion the Secretary tin cater to the esthetic taste of tha American consumer. He has peremp torily excluded some consignments of pato de ful graa which were obviously of material other than goose livers, and he rigidly bars all such products whleh cuntiitn chemical preserva tives. CHINKSK DUCK EOOS. "Our Intent trouble with Imports of Oils character." said the Secretary to-ilny, "has been with Chinese duck eggs. You know these Chinese rivers swarm with ducks. Now, It has been the habit of the thrifty Chinese to take every egg that became slightly spoiled or crucked or broken snd dump it Into a crock with an abund ance of borsclc acid. This acid checks bacterial growth and prevents further decomposition. The crocks, when full, were scaled up and sent to this country, whore our bakers make these ancient duck eggs Into pastries and plea. We have put a stop to the use of horaclc ncld, how ever. Now they are packing these eggs with from 15 to to per cent, salt, but that does not preserve them well, and there Is less profit In the huxliicHS end also loss dsnger of their being foisted on the Innocent con sumer." Speaking of the delicatessen pro ducts, the Secretary said: "W will not allow the Importa tion of any of these things which are treated with Injurious chemicals; or I which are not what they lire repre sented to be. If we know It. I do not know whether It would be posstblo for us to detect a greater or Iras per centage of dog flesh In an Imported Herman aausagc, for Inatance. We have the most expert chemists In the world, but there are limits evon to the analytical powers of chemistry," Asked how tho consumer of delica tessen products could be safe from eating things ne would not knowingly put Into his stomach, tha Secretary said: INSPECTION ONLY SAFEGUARD. "The only absolute safeguard which tha American consumer will have will be" to Insist on seeing tha Federal In spection tag. We ran label all of tha larger sausage, alt tongues, hams Snd so on, and If the packers will put up the smaller products In sealed pack aga ws can tag the package and so sooure to the consumer a clean, healthful package, so labeled as to show precisely what It contains. "Ot course, thla docs not apply, to Imported producta, ft,ut why should wo wsnt linpnrtiul products? Our own paekers and purveyors rail and do put up Jual as good meat products of evely description as can be Imported, and. In fact, most of the so-called Imported producta are mad In this country according to foreign formulas snd sold at, higher prices because they a.ro sold for Im ported goods. The consumer has to pay the freight you must remember that this de partment has no Jurisdiction over meats and meat products prepared within a Htata for tha local market. We cannot do anything with regard to, thosa, Tha slaughter houses and packing houses f the country will be divided Into lwn classes, those which enjoy Federal inspection , and th which d not.", , "But cannot all enjoy tha prtvl leges of Fedora! Inspection and secure i . f tha Federal tags on their goods by selling some goods In another State and then representing to you that they wish to do an inter-state oust neaaT" was asked. . ' They can. and doubtless many of them will." waa the reply. "Then. Mr. Secretary, the American consumer can enjoy all of the bene fits of your Inspection, can rest as sured that he Is getting a healthful, unadulterated; correctly branded arti cle of food by 'merely Insisting that everything In tha meat line which cornea Into his - kitchen bears tha Federal UgT" WILL BE ABSOLUTELY SAFE. ; FreelsIy. replied the Secretary. "Let him see that alt his meat producta bear tags reading 'U. 8. In spected and passed,' or that hla meats ara cut from rarcaases bear ing tbeae tags, and hn will be abso lutely safe. And If this Is too much trouble, then he must take hla chances f being fooled." Inquiry ahowa that the amount ot meats and meat products Imported la so small as clearly to demonstrate the accuracy of Secretary Wilson's assumption that the "Imported" producta which are listed on almost every restaurant bill of fare are large ly made In this country. Tha entire Importation of meata and meat pro ducers In tie last year amounted to only $7S2,7I. and despite tha fact that most of the so-called "Imported" meat products bore tha name ot some German city, the imports from Germany of this description amount ed to only about I9H.U00. In these circumstances the prohibition against carrying those imported meats In Inter-State commerce la likely to work hardship only to those who have been deceiving the nubllo by lalbellng domestic product Imported. After January 1 the labeling of do mestic jirodusts as Imported wilt also be Illegal, as then the pure food law will go Into effect It Is expected at the Department of Agriculture that the regulation cover ing the meat Inspection will be Issued on Thursday -or Friday and that In spection under the new law will be instituted early next month. THE OOTTOX CROP OF EGYPT. Cortstil-General Iddlngs Says It Re mains Stationary quality Deteri orating. Washington Dispatch,' July Xtth. Consul General Lewis M. Iddlngs, at Carlo, Egypt, has transmitted to the Department of Commerce and La bor a report on the condition of tha cotton crop In Egypt In recent years, he says," the ares 'of land 'un der cultivation has been steadily In creasing, but the total crop has re mained stationary, or has even dimin ished. The total crop la lt04-0i was .352.000 kantars, a kantar being It.OS pounds. This waa leas than the crops of the years Immediately preceding, which were as follows:. In 102-4, 6, 500,000 kantars: In 1101-, 1.171.000 kantars: In 1119-ltSO, S.101.000 kan tars, and In ll7-l, ,MI,000 kan tars, "The quality of , the cotton also tends to become less satisfactory," the report says. "It has been stated that this deterioration Is largely due to the building of the Assouan reser voir. It Is though by some that this work, by arresting tha velocity of the current of the Nile, causes the sedi ment to deposit on the river bed, and thus deprives the water of Ita fertilis ing properties. "Owing to the high price of cereals and tha loss which cotton cultlvartors Incurred, last season, tho evil of over cropping may to a certain extent dis appear. Moreover, the price of cot ton may fall, which would not In some respects be an unmixed evil for Egypt, because the temptation to push the cultivation of this staple too far would be greatly diminished." Consul General -Iddlngs also dis cusses the sugar Industry. The opinion prevails," he sayi, "that sugar will not be much jralsed nor manu factured In Egypt hereafter, but that the land will be cultivated for cotton. The natives will raise a little cane near their houses, but only for their own consumption." f n,.h- Ml ST DISPOSE OF 1 1 Kit DOO,r Postmaster Douglas Decide "''That' Woman Living on Itnral Route Moat Gel Hid of Vicious Canine or Do Wltlmaf Mall.

Ti:SSY,73TCPC:r:0 CO ATIAXTA, CAs , BEFOBM IN JURY SYSTiM SUGGESTIONS FROM JUDGE NEAL Tbe State, lie Believes, Ought to Have the Same Number of Challenges as the Pefendant In Certain Caeca The Great Need ot North Carolina la a Reformatory for Tonthful Criminals The Judge to Urge Three . Reforms la Every County la tbe ' State Co-operation Requested.' To the Editor of The Observer; Under the law as It now exists In thla State when a person , Is charged with the commission of a capital criminal offense snd Is placed on trial he may challenge " peremptorily, ZI Jurors and . the State challenge only four. From an experience In the practice of law and then five years work on the bench It Is clear Jo my mind that . the statute ought to be changed so that U. the trial of the offenses of arson, rape, -murder and burglary, , the four capital ' felonies, the State ought to 'have the same number ot challenges as the prisoner. It Is my deliverable opinion that this will help solve the lynching problem. As I go over the State snd try young boys for the 1 commission of crime I become more and-more Im pressed with the Imperative necessity for the establishment of a reforma tory to which youthful criminals may be sent I. would not suggest In Its Inception the outlay of a large sum of money by tbe Bute, but one just large enough to see It we can't save bad boys snd ' mske out ot them . good snd useful; cltisens. X am sure we can bring . good out of - this , and I think we ought to make the effort. Very many times I have had my heart to bleed when as a Judge It became my duty te send boys to Jail snd the penitentiary- bright-eyed, good look ing boys; ; boys that had too much promise of good in them to be sent off with thieves and murderers and hardened criminals, and yet were so bad and vicious that they ought not to have been turned. loose on society and the public. X have made up my mind to make an effort, conducted on an honorable basis, to have these two statutes written In the laws of m Bute. : y , . -: ' I da not expect to tall and I . am addressing this Iff you to . ask for your co-operation, .ine support i win ask at your hands. If your agree with me. la that at the proper ; time you advocate these two laws, la your pa per, and that you-will secure signa tures to petitions I will send you and forward the same to your member ot the General Assembly. I expect to organise thla movement In every coun ty In this StaV. and while. It . Is a gigantic undertaking for one man to face one whola busy holding court every' week yet I have undertaken the task and I am going to win. - i shall not be able to offer you any pay for your time or space and the o.liy recompense we ahall be able to gather will be the consciousness of having helped our fellow man.
