Washington, Jan. 9.-The Burleigh
substitute reapportionment bill,
which fixes the total number of rep
resentatives at 1856 instead of 357. as
in the Hopkins bill, was adopted in
the house Tuesday by vote of Is to
1O2.
Washington, Jan. 12.-The reappor-
tionment bill passed by the house last
Tuesday received the Endorsement of
the senate late Friday afternoon, and
now all that is necessary to make it
law is the approval of the president.
Of this there is no doubt, hence the
provisions of the Burleigh bill will
form the basis of representation dur
ing the next decade.
While the provisions of the measure
have been pretty generally advertised,
its effect on the several states will not
be realized till the redistricting proc
ess is begun.
The gains made under this bill are

A Heroic Remedy.

There is little boy in Colorado
Springs who. according to Facts, likes
to help entertain his mothers visitors,
and eagerly listens to the conversation.
Tommy also has an aunt of whom he
is very fond and who has bad cold,
causing him much anxiety. A few days
ago, while his mother was comparing
notes on housekeeping with a friend,
Tommy thought he heard something
which would cure Aunt Susies cold.
About supper time he disappeared,
which, however, did not excite any
comment The family sat down to
supper and one by one the dishes We're
tasted and set aside until each mem-
Der began to wonder what allied the
cook Tommy's expression convinced
them that he could throw some light
on the subject. and when cOrnered had
to admit that he had put red pepper
into every dish while the cook was out,
because Mrs. -- said red pepper was
good for the ants. and he wanted to

Very Useful Improvement.
One of the most interesting exhibits
in the model-room of the Patent Office
is its collection of miniature steamer
gines. Models Of the engines Of Hero
of Alexandria, of Newcomer and of
Watt illustrate the successive steps in
the development Of what has become
the giant Of our modern industry.
An attendant shows the visitor
model of the early engine upon which
boys were employed to turn the cocks
that, alternating, let the steam on and
shut it off. one Of these boys, Hum
phrey Potter by name, instead of set
thing down like machine to the mo-
nOtonous work. kept his eyes open. He
discovered that certain beam above
his head worked in unison with the
cocks which he opened and closed. He
accordingly connected the two, and
after seeing that the device worked
properly, ran Off to play.
His employers began to notice a much
greater regularity in the movement of

The after thought of great many
notable inventions. Opponents of the
patent system often raise the point
that all great inventions are in the
air. that the same suggestion sooner
or later will come to great many diff.
ferent men. and hence that the patent
is simply reward to the one who hap
pens to arrive first.
Patent experts acknowledge cOnsid-
cradle basis for this contention. They
say also, that the lament often seen
in the newspapers. His invention died
with him. referring to a secret process
is rarely borne out by events.

the world can discover are few. But

the Pure Food Laws.

A case in the courts of Davenport,
Iowa, the other day appears to have
fixed the status of the alum baking
powders as an Illicit article of trade.
II seems that The Pure Food Co.,
OF Chicago. sold to firm of grocers in
Davenport a quantity of baking pow
der called Pure Food Baking Pow

ascertained that 1t was an alum pow
der returned the powder unsold to

The case was tried before Judge
BolIinger and jury. Attorneys Neal
e. Neal, and S. A. Finger defended the
grocers. II was shown that the pow
der contained alum. The defence
claimed consequently. that it was in
furious to health and that traffic in
II was against public policy. Expert
testimony was introduced to show that
alum when taken into the stomach
would influence the gastric juices to
the detriment of the person using it.
The jury rendered verdict for the
defendants. which means that alum
baking powders are deleterious to
health. their sale Illegal in the state.
The pure food laws of the state are
upheld.

Advertising is a mighty lever, and
what it will produce depends upon
three things-the weight, the fulcrum
and the power says Boyce's Hustler.
The weight is publicity or results, the
fulcrum is the medium, and the power
is the advertisement. When the COM
bination is right, the results are truly
astonishing.
