Food Protection,

A decision far reaching In its effect
and of interest to all lovers Of pure
food, has Just been handed down by
Judge Adams in the Circuit OF the
United States.
The suit IN question was brought
against The Union Biscuit Company
for infringement on the In- er-seal
package, controlled exclusively by
The National Biscuit Company, for
protection or biscuit and crackers
against dust, moisture, odor and
germs.
In deciding against The Union Bis
cult Company, Judge Adams says:
"The proof abundaDtly shows that
prior to the invention OF the patent,
the old paper cartons or boxes were
inadequate to the demands of the ser.
vice required OF them; that their con-
tents deteriorated rapidly Ia sub
stance and flavor: that they we're sub.
jected TO the baneful effects OF the air,
moisture and dust Since the intro
duction OF the box OF the patent u
radical change has taken place. This
box has been found equal to the eli.
matte and other local conditions in all
parts OF the country, from New Or
leans to New York, from Florida To
Minnesota. and from California to
Massachusetts The uniform testi-
mony from all these regions is to the
effect that the contents of the box are
preserved in their original freshness
and flavor.
THE whole testimony, in my opln
lou, clearly shows that the box Of the
patent materially facilitates the dis
tribution OF inexpensive food prod.
ucts TO the consumer and at the same
time lessons the cost and enhances
the intrinsic value OF such products. "
Judge Adams full decision against
the infringement not only shows the
great Importance OF the ln-er,seal
package, bnt is so broad and conclus-
i've as to prevent any other .iufringe-
meDt or use 10 violation OF the rights
OF the National Biscuit Company.

the important question, what effect
the various preservatives, adulter-
ants, color:ng matter and other for
eign substances used in addition to
pure food in the manufacture oil
food products and the preparation
of food for the market has upon the
health of mankind. The effect OF
each preservative will be carefully
recorded, and when the results of
the investigation appear in printed
form that all who read may know
what preservatives, adulterants,
coloring matter and other substan-
ces are harmful when taken into the
system with food.
1t is stated with auth ority that
none of the several thousand break
fast foods now on the market will
be used, notwithstanding their wide
ly heralded merits. If breakfast
food is used at all it will be of Uncle
Sans manufacture, even "Malta
Vita" being barred. The latest
bulletins from the front state that
all the subjects are enjoying good
health, with no visions of board
bill to mar their sweet content.
Some of them are even quoted as
expressing the belief that theirs is a
greater snap than holding Office

mark ever heretofore reached for
that month.
It's unfortunate that Free Traders
cannot detach philanthropy from
trade, for the only possible excuse
for Free Trade is the desire to equal
ize foreign conditions with our own.
There can be no objection to
bringing about this condition, but
in Justice to ourselves the process
must be accomplished by leveling
up old country conditions to ours
and not by leveling ours down TO
theirs. st. Louis "Star."

The Republican Method.

The policy of Protection is the
foundation of our whole indurtrial
system. Nine-tenths of our indus
trial capital is invested, ninetenths
of our industrial wage scales and
other arrangements are made, upon
the supposition that this nation will
continue by law to reserve the home
market for home producers.
To begin to repeal the Tariff would
be to disturb all these arrangements.
It would unsettle business. 1t would
destroy commercial confidence in
the future. IL would bring on hard
times. That is what Tariff tinker
ing by the Democratic party has al
ways done in the past. That is what
it certainly will do again.
On the other hand, the Republi-
can method of dealing with the trusts
is to let the Tariff alone for the pres
ent and seek other methods of curb
ing trust abuses. The Republican
party believes that the trusts can be
controlled without taking the risk of
bringing on hard times. The Re-
publican party is conf med in that
belief by its success IN bringing
trusts under control, notably in the
present case of the hard coal strike.

Governments Boarding House,

Y Twelve men ranging from 20 to 60
I. years of age, are having the time of
their lives in Washington at present
Their sole occupation is eating-not
usually reckoned a difficult task
and instead of paying board they
are receiving salary. These are
the men whom the government, in
the person of DR.. Wiley, chief chem
lst of the Department of Agrlcul-
ture, is experimenting upon to dis
. cover the effects upon the human
system of adulterants and preserva-
tives in food.
The experiment will prove of the
greatest interest to all classes. That
food products are aduterated and
often TO an alarming extent, is well
known, and the evil is on the in
crease. In fact, it is getting to be
true that even the adulterants are
adulterated. This is sdulteration
with vengeance.
The subjects selected are men
who use neither tobacco, wine nor
beer, and in height and weight are
the average of the ordinary citizen.
Six of the twelve may eat and drink
what they please, while the other
half eat and drink by measure, their
food being analyzed and weighed.
During the fore part OF the expert
ment the men are given only pure
food, all conditions being carefully
noted. After this period preserva-
tives and adulterants commonly |
used are added to the food, and their
effect upon the constitution observ-
ed. After certain time there is a
"shift' in subjects, and the six who
have been leading the life of ordi-
nary mortals eat "according to
Wiley" as it were.
The object of the experiments is,
of course, to determine the whole
someness or rather the unwholesome
ness of substances added to foods as
preservatives, coloring matter or for
other purposes. An attempt will be
made to definitely settle the disput-
ed points in regard to these matters,
about which chemists and hygien-
lists differ so greatly. Tne result can
be used to shape intelligent legisla-
tion of restrictive nature regulating
Commerce in food products, secur' I
ing the removal of unnecessary and
unjust restrictions and making
effective those that are necessary
and just. 1t will serve as a basis
for International agreement in re-
gard to the composition of preserv
ed foods. Now the different nations
have widely different laws to pro-
tect and regulate the importation
and expectation of food products.
The investigation is to determine |

Passed the House.

Representative Nations bill divid-
ing this judicial district has passed
the house. 1t makes Wilson and
Neosho counties one district and
Woodson and Alien another. The
bill will doubtless pass the senate
and become law. 1t is a very
desirable measure and one that is
absolutely demanded that justice
may be done by all.

DIsmukE is CITED TO APPEAR,
To Defend His Claim to Estate of Ell
bert Head.

To Defend His Claim to Estate of EI'
bert Head.
The first gun, in what promises to
be an interesting legal fight, will be
fired at the next session of the court of
ordinary when the contest for the es
tate of the late Elbert Head, wealthy
and most respected negro formerly re-
siding in Americas, will be opened.
Joseph Dismuke, who inherited this
property and has since been in peace
full possession of the same, been
cited to appear to defend his
claim under Heads will.
The full story of the pending litiga-
ton was told exclusively in the Times
Recorder ten days ago.
Quite recently there came here from
Troy, Ala. negro woman who asserts
that she is an own niece of the late
Ebert Head, and she it is who now
lays claim to his former estate valued
at $50, 900 or $4,000 and which has
since enhanced greatly in value,
If she is really neice of Head he
probably did not know of her existence
at the time the will was executed, as
the estate was otherwise disposed Of
Dismuke is a respected citizen Of
Americas and came in possession o
the estate through his late wife, who
was Heads neice by marriage.
The attempt to set aside the beques
will be watched with interest,

Illness of Mrs Harold of Serious
Nature.

The people of Americas will learn
with deepest and sincerest regret of
the illness of Mrs. U. B. Harold
which, during the past several days

quite wretched, and, though the tend

hangs only by brittle thread. The
prayers of an entire community are of
fered for the recovery of this pure and
noble woman, than whom none other
here was ever more beloved.
