She went out, but the thoughts that

Instead, she was murmuring: Poor

A tramp entered a confectioner's

queen.

An Old Book.

"Where Have You Been?" is the title
of a sketch by Kate Thompson which
has just been published in England.
TIE main merit Of the story consists
in the fact that it is written entirely
without the word "and." The scene
is laid at place called Kent College,
where young ladies and gentlemen are
trained in a course of aesthetic lectures,
delivered by a professor who turns
out to be a scamp, and makes love to
his pupils, running away with one OF
them.

Tho Attitude of Lnrd Compound Manu-
fncturers towards the Question
Of pure Food.


The parties who arc Interested In the manufacture
OF this sweet and wholesome edible fat do not OPP
pose any general bill designed to prevent adultcra-
ton and to insure the proper labelling OF food
products so that the purchaser cannot lie dec eived
any bill designed to regulate the subject
of lard and equivalent cooking fats so that the
purchaser may know what substances are used in
his kitchen and thai that which is sold 10 him is
what he wishes to buy.
They are naturally and reasonably opposed to
any legislation which singles out one product for
condemnation, tax, license or suspicion. 1t IL not
fair that article should DO made the subject OF
invidious distinction and singled out for Govern
ment regulation moro than another In fact, they
are willing to ride in any boat which the packers
will get into themselves. but are unwilling to have
the packers build the boat for them which they
refuse to enter themselves Who can blame themf
The renners have acted in the fairest manner
possible Every bit OF Lard Compound which they
make is so branded that there Is no attempt to de-
ceiye or to sell 1t for what 1t Is not The fact Is.
that the real object of the Conger Bill Is not to
protect the consumer. but TO destroy competition
and the sooner the eyes OF the people are opened
to this fact the better 1t will be
for them II they are indifferent to this matter,
the rst thing they know. this article. which keeps
the packers product down to a reasonable price.
will be Withdrawn from the market, aud then the
pa kers will dictate prices.
The hackers of this Bill want Lard Compound
branded, as to show what IL Is made OF. Thisi Is
quite right provided the packer will do the same
so that ii a man wants leaf lard. he will be able to
get It. IL he calls for 1t. II no wants ordinary lard
he should get that IL gut lard suits his palate 1t
should be branded so that ho may know IL. IL he
wants to eat grease. he do that but let every
thing DO branded 30 that he may know what ne Is
eating.
There Is no protection against imposition in the
general lard business AMI there Is no doubt but
that such ingredients form largo proportion or
so-called pure lard. :.
/, To sum up. the packer and farmer are naturally
md commercially antagonistic and must, in the
nature of things, remain 80 rs tho sellers and
buyers of farm products. Therefore. when the
packer most pretends to DO the farmers friend, the
farmer should be most alert In trying to discover
the object of such manifestations OF friendship.
