Food Commissioner
On Cold Storage Law
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Dec. 4. (Special.) For the
edification of those interested in the cold
storage proposition. State Food Com
missioner Hannan gives out a clause of
the law covering cold storage food with
an "opinion" ss to what It is doing. lie
Says:
For the Information of the public and
those engaged In the sale of food products
that have been held in cold storage for
a period of sixty days or longer the pro
vision of the law on the subject is as fol
lows: "It shall be unlawful to sell or to offer
tr expose for sale articles of food which
have been held In cold storage . without
notifying persons purchasing or intending
to purchase the same, that they have
been so kept and it shall be, Unlawful to
represent or advertise as fresh goods, ar
ticles of food which have been held in
was filled by the appointment of J. V. I cold storage."
o.i. However Mr Oral la slated trt ' The passage of the cold storage law has
t-raig. .However, air. craig is siatea thinM for the nubile.
" ". w-m one ot wnicn is mat wun mis law in
head. It is expected that other heads
will be lopped off Just as soon as the
democratic guilotlne Is working.
it is said that one democratic official
elect who desired to keep some of the
old clerks for a time until the new ones
had learned ths ropes, has been notified

jobs.

force all foods that have been held in
cold storage will be sold for exactly what
they are and all persons purchasing the
same wilt be fully acquainted with them.
The other Is that this law prevents fur
ther the usual stigma placed on foods
that are not what they should be and im
mediately chained up to cold storage. If
ttijy are cold storage foods the purchaser
ki.ows It when he buys it.
Cold storage has accomplished another
thing for the consuming public and that
Is that it is an equaliser of the price dur
ing the seasons or scarcity, uunn we
seasons of production the supply Is al
ways greater than the demand for Imme
diate consumption. The over supply Is
placed In cold storage which always as
sists the producer in obtaining a better
price at the time of production. Therefore,
cold storage has equalised the price both
to the consumer and the producer.

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?
This question and "How to Prevent
Colcis" is asked a thoraanrl times
every day. A cold is really a fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered conditio of the
blood or lack of important food-
elements. In changing seasons fat-
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able

From a Siaff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. Dec. 4. (Special.) The su
preme court decides In the case ot Bam
McKennnn against the Omaha Council
Bluffs Street Railway company, that "The
general public has an equal right with
a street car company upon the publlo
streets of a city, but has not at all times
the same right upon the .track of the
street car company. The publlo has aj
right to cross or drive upon the street car
tracks, but not so as to hinder or Inter
fere with the cars operated thereon."
The case is one tor damages. In which
the supreme court hsd once before over
ruled the Judgment ot $3,900 secured by
plaintiff against the street car company
and a motion Is made for rehearing. The
court In the main stsnds by its former J
opinion and denies the application tor a
rehearing. The main controversy seems
to hinge on the rights of the public on a
street csr track, and ths higher court In
the syllabus of Its opinion holds:
Dnty of Motorman,
The motorman of a street csr Is not
necessarily obliged to stop his car when
he sees a mnn driving in a vehicle along
the line of railway ahead of the car: but
he may continue to run the car In a
proper manner until It appears that ths
driver is in danger and is unaware or
heedless of his danger. It U then his
duty to use all reasonable care and dili
gence to avoid a collision. Seeing a man
driving along the track. the motorman
may assume that he will turn aside and
out of the way of the car. but he cannot
rest on the assumption so long as to allow
his car to reach a point where it will be
impossible for him to control his car or
give warning in time to prevent Injury
to the man or vehicle.
"In such a case the motorman in charge
of the car should use the care and dili
gence which an ordinary prudent person
would use under the circumstances."
The opinion Is by Justice Letton with
a partial dissenting opinion by Justice
Hamer, who does not exactly agree as
to the rights of a vehicle on the car
tracks. He holds that the cars sre for
the accommodation of the public, and
that a vehicle has no right to use the
street car trscks to the Inconvenience of
the public traveling In the street ear.

This commission was not authorised by
the state and, therefore, makes its report

The congress will hear this report and
mske their own recommendations to ..the

This commission will say in part:
"The rural school is the farmer's school
snd he is entitled to a place in the
councils that shape Its policies.
"His children have an Inherent right to
receive an equal number of grades of
free public school education as do the
children of the people of the towns, nor
should they be compelled to leave their
home environment to obtain this instruc
tion. "To secure this we favor the union of
two or more rural schools Into one dis
trict, whose board Shalt possess equal
powers and duties as do ths boards of any
existing high school district.
"We favor nonpartisan election of su
perintendents of public instruction.
"W. fsvor a genersl revision of ths
state course of study.
"Recognising the state as th. natural
unit of education, both legislative and ad

be equitably distributed among the dis

"We recommend that no school board
shall be estopped by law from providing
for the children of school ags in their
district Instruction In any . branch or
grade provided for in the state course of
study."
