FooD PROTECTION.
The Circuit Court Of the United States
Decides in Favor Of In-er-seal
Package.

A decision far resching IN It's effect
and Of interest to all lovers Of pure
food, has Just been handed down by
Judge Adams in the Circuit Court Of
the United States
The suit in question was brought
against the Union Biscuit Company
forinfringement on the ln-er-seal pack
age. controlled exclusively by the Ma
tional Biscuit Company, for the pro
lection Of biscuit and crackers against
dust moisture, odor and germs.
In deciding against the Union Bis
cult Company, Judge Adams says
THE proof ab~undantly shows that
prior to the invention OF the patent,
the old paper boxes or cartons were in
adequate to the demands Of the ser
vice required Of them; that their con-
tents detsriorated rapidly in substance
and favor; that they were subjected
TO the banefuI effects OF the air mois-
ture and dust Since the introduc-
ton Of the box Of the patent a radical
change has taken place This box has
been found equal to the climatic and
other local conditions in all parts OF
the country. from New Orleans to
New York, from Florida to Minnesota
and from California to Massachusetts.
The uniform testimony from all these
regions is to the effect that the con-
tents Of the box are preserved In their
original freshness and favor.
THE whole testimony in my opinion
clearly shows that the box Of the pat
ent materially facilitates the distri-
button Of inexpensive food products to
the consumer and at the same time
lessons the cost and enhances the in
trinsic value of such products
Judge Adams full decision against
the infringement not only shows the
great Importance OF the In-er-seal
package, but Is so broad and conclu-
siye as TO prevent any further infringe
ment or use in violation OF the rights
Of the National Biscuit Company.

AUDRAIE COUNTY NAP
The New Map of Audrain County
Should Be in Every Home.

There is q demand for a strictly up
t0-date Map Of Audraln County; one
showing the townships in colors, the
location Of farms, with names Of own
ers; streams, churches, ~postofices, vii
lagos, towns, railroads, wagon roads,
etc.
We propose to issue just such a mag
and show on the everse side a
County and Congressional Map Of the
State, and a School District Map OF
Audraln, also a table giving location
and population Of all the towns 10 the
State IL viii be a wall map printed
on the best paper, and printed and
bound in good style. The ownership
OF farms will be compiled from the
records Of deeds up TO April LIST, 1903.
This work will be a valuable add.
ton to u county records and will be
the best map OF Audrain ever issued.
From IN educational standpoint we
unbesitatingly say that It should be
10 every home and school in the coun-
", and from a business standpoint,
that IL should be 10 the Office Of every
man who has business interests in the
county.
The expenditure Of time and money
necessary to complete this work justi-
les Us 10 asking you to encourage US
to the extent Of placing an order for
one Of these maps. Hoping 10 hear
from you favorably, we are. Yours

Another Rabbit Hunt

Pate Morris, James Squires, George
Malone and George McLoney, little
son Of WIN. McLoney, all went rabbit
hunting this week. Pate says be
wiped George Malone's eyes dry" 50
that George will never claim to be a
rabbit hunter any more. AS a matter
OF fact. we believe James Squires
wiped them all, as he killed over
half Of the tw~enty-Seven rabbits
bagged. Little George McLoney says
that they all imposed on him, especi-
ally his grandfather, Mr.. Malone. Lit
tie George says that they not only shot
in front Of him, but furnished him
with bad cartridges Nevertheless,
he held his own like a little man, even
when it comes to telling about it.
Pate says the rabbit killed by Mr..
Malone was a cripple and only had 3
legs.

SKIRT FOR MISS MODEsTY.
Win Not Blow Up on the Wfndiest
Of Days Yet is Pretty and
Graceful /.

NEW YORK, Feb @.-An Of the
chic Of French styles, minus their
naughtineSS, IS the argument in favor
LOT American made fashions which
Miss Elizabeth A. C White viii pre-.
sent to the DresSmakeB' Protective
Association Of America at It's semi-an-
nual convention next weekat ia Fifth
avenue
Here more than a dozen young WON
en- are kept busy unpacking the gowns
and waists entered for the prize con
test which is TO be one Of the features
Of the conference next week. These
creations are all made by American
dressmakers from models made by
American artists.
Every gown here is a work OF art
Miss White continued, " and they
make French fashions look Ike wet
ostrich feather. Do you know it's
time women were getting a little
more straight-laced about their clothes
Il mean their morals Now, look
down there" pointing to the opposite
curb, where crowds Of women shoppers
were struggling f~rantically against
the whirlwind that meets every pedes-
trian at the junction Of Twenty-third
street, Fifth avenue and Broadway,
where the ~sky-scraper known as the
"Flatironn was recently erected
"Look az the outrageousneSs Of that
scene. And what is the cause of all
that unnecessary display? Why, those
women's skirts.
eThe skirts the thing, after all,
that makes a womau's dress vulgar
or otherwise. We have invented a
new skirt that is pretty and graceful
and which cannot blow up the windi-
est Of days
CALLED THE lilly SKIRT"
This modesty-prouf skirt is, indeed,
an ingenious invention. II is shaped
about the waist and hips Just close
enough to be snug. II has at the bot
tom a vide hounce that fares out
ward, boldly yet gracefully, which
gives TO the garment the lily-like APP
pearance which has already won for il
the name Of the lily skirt. Inside the
hounce Is a circular lining Of stiff hair
cloth Z inches wide, and herein lies
the trick by which the windy weather
is robbed OF its terror to modest maid
or matron. This band OF hair cloth,
By adding to the weight Of the skirt,
holds il down. AT the edge Of this
hair cloth band there is a very full
rufle 81 taffeta, which eonceais the
ruse.
In its practical operation, il is said,
the skirt would do credit To Santos
DumonL II hts like a Ratsey sail to
trim sparS The trouble has been
that the light material u which un-
derskirts are now made causes them
to either clasp the ankles 10 a tight
embrace, fold On fold, or TO play such
fantastic tricks before high heaven as
make the angels eyes bulge. The
chariest maid could not be quite ceE-
tain whether the fiimsy silken things
were going to trip her up or make her
look like an exhibit In the lingerie de-
partment Of a dry goods store.
All the spindrift Of Nantucket
Beach and the believing blasts Of
Barnegat cannot lift the new skirt or
furl it. 1t is destined TO cOnfound
the windy day observers at Twenty
third street and Broadway, and make
the spot as safe and unromantic as
the main aisle Of a department store.
