most photographs show the left side
of the face and not the right.
Eyes. there is reason" he answered.
"In n majority of cases the left side Is
the good looking side, and photogra-
pliers know this and take advantage Of
1t. On the other hand, If you want to get

persons face, man or woman. study
the right side of 1.-THE ugly side, as
some portrait painters call It. There
you will find the lines bold and harsh,

side. however, everything is softened
down, and the face Is at its best.
whenever you suspect man Of
trickcry or deceit, or woman either,
for that matter, stand on his right and
closely watch his expression. There

cover up the marks of his real person

To Get Wet Lands in Grass.

We have been receiving many letters
IN thelast few weeks asking the quick
est and best way to get wet lands into
pasture, and especially with regard to
the kinds of grasses adapted to these
lands. These requests are evidently
the result of conditions now prevailing.
Over most of our territory the soil is
wet to the point of saturstion, and has
been for nine months. Farmers begin
to see that under present conditions
they can not expect to cultivate profit
ably lands that have produced large
crops in the former dry years. They
wish, therefore, to get them into grass
as quickly as possible. Quite number
of these letters mention lands subject
to overflow which can not, therefore,
be drained with the certainty of sue
cess.
The best way to get these lands into
grass is to SOW them to alsike clover
and timothy as soon as possible. Where
thep have been in corn the last year,
we would dispose of the cornstalks,
either by cutting or burning, would
then thoroughly disk the land as soon
as possible, and seed to alsike clover
and timothy at the rate of ten pounds
of timothy and four pounds of clover
per acre as soon as 1t can be done.
Where pasture is desirable, we would
SOW succotosh, or mixture of small
grains, in connection with the tame
grasses and then pasture as soon as the
grains furnish full bite.
1t will not be possible to get on somt
of these lands before the last of MAJ
or possibly the first of June. They arr
too wet to cultivate and will likely bt
too wet to pasture. If so, we woulC

Congressman Littlefeld's List

The following extract, from one of
Champ Clark's recent letters, shows the
size of the trust cloud which now hangs
over our political and industrial hori-
zon:
'It will be difficult for the Republi-
cans to run away from the trust issue in
the future or to deny, as did Senator
Hanna In 1900, that there are any
trusts. One of their leading congress
men, Hon. Charles L. Littlelield of
Maine, whom the administration last
year selected to present the simon pure
antitrust bill in congress, has settled
this discussion in his party. Mortified
perhaps because his bill was shelved by
the trusts which controlled his party, he
resolved to hit them and their agents in
congress back handed swipe which
would make them gasp for breath He
got together and published in the Con-
gressional Record list of trusts'-not
corporations simply, but real trusts
which fills more than six pages of the
Congressional Record. He says of this
list that 1t contains the grand total
capitalization of nearly Sl4,000,000,0 600!
These totals are fully 33 per cent larger
thtn those of any other list hitherto
publ shed
"rnis list puts in the shade any list
published by the Democrats or in any
almanac or yearbook. 1t must make
Senator Hsnns's hair curl to see this
list put into The Record by great Re-
publican. Had the list included rail-
roads, practically all of which are now
merged SO that they do not compete
with each other, about S1l,000,000,000
more of capital would have been add
ed, making total of S25,000,000,00O of
capital in trusts and monopolles
"As the total wealth of this country
is about S0o,O00,0o0,0 900, and as about
two-thirds of all this is in real estate
and Improvements and farm animals,
implements and products, it is evident
that the trusts have nearly completed
their work, SO far as the manufacturing
and the natural monopoly industries
are concerned. Hereafter they must
turn to the farms. the water and the

words. One is listened to with indif-
ference, If at all; the other stirs to

1t is not what we hear, nor is it grace

Pure Food Law Accusing
Local Dealers Interest
Good Results Anticipated by AlI-Dr Wiley Ex-
plains How the Act IS Being Enforced

Enforcement of the pure food law,
passed by tho last Congress. is OCCASION
ing Unusual interest among Washing
ton dealers in imported goods, who ex-
pect permanent good results from the
present governmental activity in the
supervision of food imports. Dr. H W.
Wiley. Of the Department of Agricul-
ture. who is conducting the official tests
here. is proceeding with all due regard
10 the business interests involved. but
is gradually drawing the line closer and
closer on all goods suspected OF adulter-
alton or false labelling.
Analysis of goods sent here for ex-
animation can he made at present TO a
limited extent only, because of the small
force of experts engaged. The labora-
tory can handle but five or six cargoes
a day. This permits investigation Of
only a small proportion of all goods
offered for official examination.
Three Points Of View.
ment, Dr. Wiley said:
We are enforcing the law from three
points Of view, as provided in the act
We are excluding food products which
have any foreign substance added to
them which is injurious to health. such
as certain preservatives, bleaching
agents and artificial colors. We are also
trying to exclude articles which are
forbidden entry or restricted in sale in
the country from which they came This
is in accordance with the specific pro-
vision of the law. We are trying. be-
sides. to exclude articles which are
falsely branded
The first of these grounds Is easily
determined by chemical analysis The
provision resting on the laws Of the
country from which goods come we
get at by constant study of those
enactments as forwarded to us by our
consuls on request of the State Depart-
ment
False Labels a Menace.
The question Of false labels is more
troublesome. We can sometimes deter
mine it by chemical means. as has al
ready happened In several cases where
our Importation OF what purported to
be pure olive oil was found to contain
other vegetable oils, such as cotton or
