Strong Arguments Presented for Meat and Milk p , _ A
Inspection by Different Speakers. Election of _ te H "rs Em "ge °f Sm ar who. Had Been at
Officers. Excellent Address by Dr. Garrison
my
The annual meeting of the Auti-
Tuborculosis Society was held last
evening in St Paul's Hall, the Presi.
dent, Mr Joseph McCarey, in the chair.
The meeting was called to order at 8
o’clock. After the reading of the
minutes of the last meeting, a letter
was read from the Dominion Veterin-
ary Department in reply to a tele-
gram from the President enquiring as
to the number of carcasses condemned
inthe province, etc.
Dr McMillan, the Vice~Presideut,
llun gave his report. He said he was
one of a delegation that waited upon
the City Council some weeks ago in
regard to meat and milk inspection.
lie was of opinion that both the pub-
lic and the butchers were in favour
of inspection-at least the butchers
said they were-and the only question
that remained to be solved was, how
to carry the scheme through, There
was no doubt that diseased meat was

sold in the province and particularly
in the city. Charlottetown was bc-
hiud Summerside in the matter of
me_at inspection, and although the
argument had been advanced that only
one carcass had been condemned in
Summerslde, which is was claimed
went to show that there was not
much disease there, they should bear
ill lllilld that no person having an
animal of doubtful health would risk
the scrutiny of inspection, but would
easily get out of the difficulty by send-
ing that animal to Charlottetown.
(Cheers) There was also a great
deal of immature veal being put on
the market. He then read a. report
showing that of 2176 carcasses in-
spected by the Dominion inspector.
4 had been condemned, of which 3
were affected with tuberculosis; por-
tions of carcasses condemned, 88, of
which 41 were tubercular; swine,
17,875 slaughtered, 11 condemned, of

“The Admiralty have good reasons

Committee has been reviewing a lot
of’ evidence from regimental boards.
The first direct evidence to come be-
fore the Committee front a soldier who
had been through all conditions of
weather at Valcartier and Salisbury
Plain was Private Ross of the 3rd
Battalion, who appeared before the
Committee to-day in response to a

had been through the mill from begin-
ning to end, his evidence was naturally
regarded as of particular value, as
compared with a mass of hearsay avi-
dence which has been thus far re-
ceived by the Committee.
The Committee, in order to get at
the real condition of affairs, were care-
ful in reviewing the reports of the
regimental boards to call the cases

tions regarding the boots had been

Private Ross stated that naturally

tltat unqualifiedly the boots were high-

they were useful for the purposes of
the troops was shared by his com-

to fall into nn unprotected bridge and
had not yet recovered from the in-
juries ho sustained. lic was a laborer

ily nud he (the speaker) did not
know that the case had ever been pre-

ught Davison had been ill-advised as

thought it was only just that the
Government should consider any legi-
timate claim in connection with the
matter as long as lt was made in u
proper way. The man did not belong

A PNUMPI NEIIISIUN
There wus xt full house ut, thc Unp-
list School Room lust night to incur
ltcv. I.. E, Acklnud preach on “A
Prompt Decision." The sermon wus
clear and forcciui and carried dccp
conviction. The interest in thc meet-
ings is deepening. Mr. Ackiund said
in part:-
lt was nothing short oi' u public
scandal that Jesus went homo to dine
with Zacchcus, the chief publican of
Jericho. Zaccheus was a social no-
body, au outcast, with whom nonc of
the elite will coudesccnd to associate.
But Jesus never did quite conform to
accepted standards. Continually He
.shocked and surprised people by
breaking through some conventional
that separated Him from a needy soul.
The Master never worried I-iimself
over tlte question so important to lit-
tle miuds: What will the people think
or say? And there was something ot'
the same spirit in Zaccheus, else they
had never mei.
l. How did it. happen that Zaccheus
was so honored. and what did his
meeting with Jesus mean to him?
Zaccltcus was filled with curiosity
to see Jesus. (‘uriosity is the advance
scout of knowledge. The child asks
questions; his mind is awakening to
the wonders of the world about him.
Curiosity brought this man to Jesus.
Only a clod could be indifferent to
such a Being whose coming 19 centur-
ies ago chauged the course oi' history
and whose influence widens and deep-
eus through all restless changes of
our world. Again Zaccheus found
Christ because he followed his impuls-
es. He climbed into a tree that he
might sec Jesus. in simple boyish ua-
turalness ho risked a laugh. Some
people would rather go to hell than
take the risk of being laughed at. A
sneer can send a soul to perdition, and
the fear of man bringeth a suore.
What did interview with Jesus mean
to Zaccheus? No miracle was wrought,
no woe pronounced, no sermon preach-
,ed. The Master of life eat down like
a friend at Zacclieue' table, and stir-
red into new life and power all the
,better nature of the man. He saw
himself as he was, his sinful heart,
his selfish life, but he saw also the
vision of himself as be might be, and
all the manhood within him lee u
Christ. lic took vongeuncc upon his
hui(-i`u| past. llc declared his full re-
