Military the Main Feature.

Military will be the main feature of the parade. The committee has invit- ed state organizations to participate and from the responses it is probable that more militia bodies will be in line than ever before.
 The regular troops around Wash ington will be brought here. The ca dets from the military and naval academies win also be in attendance.
 Civic bodies will be well represent ed, but the object of the committee will be to make the parade as mili tary as possible. Hundreds of appli- cations have been received from Rough Rider clubs that wish to par ticipate.
 An Innovation.
 An innovation will be the decora- ton of the capitol and White House. Mir. Edson will ask congress to au- thorize the running of electric light ing wires over the White House. He intends that the capitol building, and especially the great dome, shall be outlined in incandescent globes, and that the same plan shall be followed with the executive mansion and other public buildings.
 Electric lights will be placed in all the parks and reservations which are supplied with fountains. The Inaugural Ball.
 The ball of the last Mckinley inau- guration, which was unanimously de- clared the finest in the history of these functions, will be eclipsed by the one to come, which will be held in the pension office. More than $10,- | GOO will be expended in decorations. More than $45,000 of the necessary | $50,000 fund has been subscribed. The | Twenty-third Ohio volunteer regi- ment, in which President Mcinley served during the war, will attend in body. The survivors of the first re- publican convention, that of 1856, will ride in carriages directly behind the | president.

AcrObatic.

After supper he procured his wife's best clotnesline from the back shed, fastened one end of 1t to his St. Bernard's collar and the other to the handle bar of his bicycle Then he went out into the middle of the road and mounted. For about four rods, that is until the St. Bernard espied canine friend, the sensation was dreamlike, after that 1t be- came one horrible nightmare. In despera- ton the rider clutehed handle bars, back pedaled and fairly howled, until at last he became sufficiently cool to call to the dog to stop. It stopped all right, but the wheel had motions of it's own. It went on till 1t struck the dog amidships, then it rose in the air, sending its rider toward cloudland. His head tried conclusions with the curb, and when they brought him to he promised his wife never to do 1t again.-Detroit Free Press

ADULT[RAI|gA IF at)DS,
Topic Discussed Before the National Association of State Dairy and
 Food Departments.
AN EVIL THAT REQUIRES sssulA1lns.
National Legislation Needed, Be cause Oply n Portion of the U nit
 ed States Have Taken Up the Mat ter to Any Extent. and in Some
 Laws Enacted Are . Dead Letter.

Milwaukee, Nov. 22.-H. c. Adams, state dairy and food commissioner of Wisconsin, delivered the principal ad- dress of the morning session of the second days meeting of the Nation al Association of State Dairy and Food Departments of the United States. MT. Adams spoke on "Neces- sary National Legislation Relative to Dairy Products" and said in part:
 ''The extensive adulteration of foods in the United States has given rise to the enactment, in nearly every state of the union, if laws regulating, to greater or less extent, the man. ufacture and sale of food products E
 Food adulterations are of sufficient extent to warrant, not only the inter- vention of state authority, but the power of national government as well. It is estimated that $500, 900 worth
 of adulterated foods are sold annual ly in the United States.
 "A national pure food law has been
 under consideration by congress for
 several years. ta af
 Tt is urged, in opposition to a na- tional law, that the regulation of food adulterations should be left to
 the states, and that the states have
 a clear and undisputed right to pro- hibit or regulate such adulterations through the exercise of their police powers. . sa. National legislation, however. is
 needed because only portion of the states have taken up this matter of food legislation to any extent, and in others, where the laws are adequate, + they are practically dead letter. be-
 cause of the failure of the state au- thorities to enforce them.
 s'The evils of food adulteration are
 not and can not be defended. 1t is not | only within the power of congress to | go to the limit of it's authority in this 1 matter, but it is the plain duty of that body to adopt the most stringent pos sible legislation"
 Mir. Adams then spoke of the pur- pose of the Grout bill, also the bill | of Mir. Sherman, of New York.
 The remainder of the forenoon was | taken up with discussion of various | topics bearing on pure food. The gen. eral opinion expressed was that uni form law should be enacted in all
 the states to confrom with a national | law covering the entire subject.
