Debating the Pure Food Bill.

Mr.. Adamson opposed the pure food
bill in an extended speech In the House
yesterday, taking the ground that the
states could adequately deal with the situa-
ton. He said he believed thoroughly in
the protection of the public against fraud.
but he did not believe in imposing the task
upon the federal government. No one could
contend, he said, that a state could not
punish common cheats and swinders If
they deceived In that they sold one thing
and delivered another.
Mr.. Gardner opposed the bill. He
declared that 1t would materially interfere
with many legitimate industries. Boracic
acid, he said. was used in the preservation
of Goldfish and under the terms of the bill
would probably be regarded as deleterious
to health by the government chemists. He
said he would offer an amendment to meet
this objection to the bill. In conclusion,
he said there was a great deal of humbug
about the outcry against adulterated foods
If we ate adulterated food, he said, we did
not want to know it any more than We
wanted to know the unhealthful conditions
with which We were sometimes surrounded
He said he believed the anti-spitting and
other so-called health regulations and ordi-
nances We're overdone. Without action on
the bill the House at 4:35 pm. adjourned.

the present rates of transportation for mer-

cause they could take advantage Of the low
rates to send samples to South America

vorably disposed and would be pleased to
take steps TO bring about an agreement

To dart on in chase of the three warriors
would simply result in the scattering of his
own people and their being individually cut
of and stricken down by circling swarms
of their red foes. To gather his men and
attempt to force the passage of the Elk
Tooth ridge meant certain destruction of
the whole command. The Sioux would be
only too glad to scurry away from their
front and let them through, and then in
big circle whirl all about him, pouring in a
concentric fire that would be sure to hit
