BOGUS. FOOD PRODUCTS.
They Can Live Only So Long - Their
Real Character II Hidden by
Lying Labels.

After all, something is to be hoped
for from national and state laws.
While it is true that many laws on our
statute books are dead as to enforce
ment, or only partially enforced, yet
it il also true that some Of the laws
that we su opposed would be of little
effect have been enforced to the letter
and have accomplished all that could
be desired. We will instance the ma
tional law against filled cheese" It
was not many years ago that one could
hardly buy a piece Of cheese and be
sure it was wha claimed to be. Filled
cheese has demoralized the home mar
ket and destroyed most of the for
eign demand for cheese made in the
United States The filled cheese law
was passed, and the result has been
the almost complete obliteration of the
industry of making ALLIED cheese. It
can still be: made and sold, but
it cannot be sold for anything
besides what it is. What is the result?
It IL found that no American wants
to buy the stuff, and so none is sold in
this country. Two factories in Illinois
still make filed cheese and sell it to
English firms, But even there the de-
mand is growing less. English mer-
chants last year imported 636,944
pounds, made in the United States and
Holland. 1t is made in no other coun-
try. The amount used in England last
year was not half of the amount used
two years before. Recently there have
been some prosecutions in the English
court on account of tradesmen having
sold filed cheese for the pure article.
It is probably true that all of this
cheese now leaving the United States
is going out fully. branded under it's
own name, but it is altogether proba BILE
that the consumer on the other side
Of the water buys it for full cream
cheese. Its decadence proves that it
and all things like it can live only so
long as their real character is hidden
by a mask. We need therefore only
tear of the mask to destroy most of
the imitation food products.-Farmers'

By the end of another eight years
the load had been reduced to $2S ,699,-
S3l, and Uncle Sam was feeling quite
easy over it.
Beats all how Columbia can save
when she's mind to- he said. Got
more'n half o. that last big load off

Not until 1866 did Uncle Sam have
time to again take account of his in
debtedness. 1t was with heavy heart
that he footed up the great total of
81 773,236, ,l73.

For "a years the old man worked and

ry and Jackson gave 'em will teach 'em
a lesson. Had TO burn up my buildings
and make it cost me lot o money fer
ships. Don't know as I'll ever git this
debt paid now
But Uncle Samuel was willing TO try,
and he went to work with will. Nine
years later he was surprised to find
how rapidly it had decreased.
well, now, she's comm down." he
said. "OnIy $s3.7ss.4S2 already. Jist

Gradually the load slipped away at
the rate of nearly $4,000. GOO a wear.
and one day in 1885 Uncle Sam awoke
TO the fact that it was practically all

done it if Columbia hadn't been

But Uncle Sans hilarious mood did
not last long. He took a glance over
his shoulder four years later and was
surprised to find n tidy little sum
of debt fastened to his back.
Now, L do wonder how that come
there?" he remarked, "'Pears to me
that Columba's been gittin' wasteful
ideas. Must been spendin' money on
fol de rolls an sich. 'Tain't very big

and pay it off fore it grows any,
He did, and by the end of another
year the $1O.434,221 of 1889 had been
reduced to S3,573.343.
That's more Like it now" said he.
Pretty hard work for little while,
but it didn't last long"
Nine years later that little load had
grown 10 $63O61 ,s5s, but your Uncle
Samuel did not care in the least.
"Ha! ha! hal" he laughed. Wasn't
it funny the way them Mexicans did

dollars of it paid.
Who'd a thought it possible?" he
asked. "Nothin' but harmonious,
hard-workin' family could done that"
Eight years later came another war
and when it was over Uncle Sam footed
up his Indebtedness.
Don't care much about the debt
now" he said. "a great big happy
family will take care o. that, an jist
think o. the fun o. seein' them Span

Senator Foraker will be on the
stump constantly from now until the
close of the campaign. He spoke in
Southern Ohio last week tc immense
GICiences The Senator is universal
ly popular in Ohio and attracts large
audiences wherever he goes. State
Chairman Dick in speaking of Senator
Foraker's campaigning and the sue
cess of his meetings said today that no
one was doing more good in Ohio than
the Senior Senator Senator Foraker
makes his own speaking assignments,
and the fact that he is allowed to do
this implies that he will have the loyal
support of the administration forces
next year for reelection to the United
states Senate. The various requests
which come into Republican state
headquarters for Senator Foraker to
speak at this or that place are all re-
ferred to the Senator. In this the
committee recognizes that this is Sen
ator Foraker's preliminary campaign
for recollection, though the actual cam
paign will be over the election of the
state legislature next year.
