ADOPT STANDARDS
FOR PURE FOODS
National Committee Com
pletes Its Schedules.
BASIS FOR LEGISLATION
Flour, Cereals, vinegars, Preserves,
Wines, and Oils Are
Defined.

Standards under which the average
citizen. if they are made law. will know
when he sits down to his meals that his
food is pure have been adopted by the
national commission recently appointed
by the Department of Agriculture.
The commission has been meeting in
the Office of DR.. Harvey w Wiley, the
head of the Bureau of Chemistry of the
department. The schedule of standards
was completed this morning
They will go to Secretary Wilson at
once for his signature, and then the
mai who puts chalk into food. makes
vinegar out of various Injurious sub
stances wine out of acids. logwood
and coloring matter, and does few
other similar tricks of the trade, will
find himself in trouble with Uncle Sam.
Basis of Legislation.
The standards are to be the basis of a
Federal pure food law, under which the
officers of the Government hope to he
able TO reach offenders in all parts of
the United States.
Standards have been fixed in the fol-
lowing commodities:
One. Flour. Stating just how much
starch, gluten and other properties i,
must contain, and grading it into class
es
Two. Cereal products OF all kinds.
Stating method of preparations, and
the properties they must contain in Ger :
tain quantities.
Three. Vinegars. Stating of what they
are made; prohibiting the manufacture,
If possible, of artificial products, and
showing just now much acid and other
things they contain.
Four. Preserves. Disclosing the in
gradients, eliminating everything hurt
full and stating how much and what
kind Of coloring matter Is used.
Five Wines. Dividing all qualities
into certain classes. and stating the
methods of manufacture, as we'll as the
ingredients and eliminating injurious
compounds.
Six. Oils. Dividing all edible oils
into classes, and prohibiting adultera-
tions.
Wiley Non-Committal.
Dr. Wiley declined this morning to
disclose the percentages adopted by the
commission as they have not yet been
passed upon by Secretary Wilson
In each case, however, the ingredients
of product are stated, and a percentage
of each is fixed by the new schedule
Thus, to be standard vinegar must
contain more than per cent of acetic
acid Flour must contain SO much giu-
ten. and wine only a certain quantity
of alcohol.
Coiorings and aduiteratior. under the
standards, will of course lower the Off
cial value of product.

HomeWard Bound.

There is no sorrow anywhere,
Or care, or pain. The singing hail
Beats on our faces like a fail,
Green water curls above the rail,
And all the storms high trumpets blare-
Whistles the wind. and roars the sea,
And canvas bellows to be Free
Spars whine, planks creaK-I only smile
For home our keel creeps mile on mile
/ bend above the whirling wheel
With hands benumbed. but happy face
Past us the wild sea-hOrses race,
Leap up to seize each twanging bra ce
Or slip beneath our lifting keel
Dreaming, l see the scudding clouds,
And ice make in the forward shrouds
And all the long waves topped with
Yet heed them not: I'm going home.
Nightly our Northern stars draw nigh.
The Southern consultations sink.
Soon we shall see along the brink
OF these cold seas Fire Island blink
Its welcome in the frosty sky.
OF our great city spread below,
Thine eyes now wait to welcome me
Back where MY heart has longed to be.

BULLDOGS POOR FIGHTERS.

Nothing to Recommend Them but

IT will surprise most uniformed

times be seen hauling along as tough

gentlemanly instincts can fancy such
dogs. but these are not bulldogs any

riers. Then the daily press is not free
from misleading the public, for nearly
every case of attack on the part of a
dog is ascribed to a Savage bulldog"
whereas bulldogs are not savage and
are uncommonly poor fighters. Tenac-

powerful jaws, is about the end of the
bulldog as fighter.-Country Life in

Just then the click of latch at the
back of the farm was heard. Both
men started. The door leading from
the farm kitchen into the parlor now
opened and woman entered, bearing
a lamp which at once gave a cheerier
aspect to the room.
She was fairly tall, apparently a
little over 80 years of age and dressed
becomingly in black. Dark brown
curls clustered above her forehead,
and her eyes as they glanced inquir.

sweetness of expression.

"Thirza," said Leonard as they

Slowly he gathered from her that
her family. having fallen on evil days,
with her father dead and her mother
constantly ailing, she was obliged to
work. Mark Cawthorn, finding that
she could not come to Nethercote farm
In any other capacity, begged that she
would at least come in every day and
tidy up the place for him. He paid
her for this, she said, and it was a
great help.
Better a thousand times be that

But, dear Thirza, l am still in the

Old Soldiers Story .

Sonoma, Mich, June 13.-That even
in actual warfare disease is more ter
rible than bullets is the experience of
Delos Hutchins of this place. Mr..
Hutchins as Union soldier saw three
years of service under Butler Barke
in the Louisiana swamps, and as q
result got crippled with rheumatism so
that his hands and feet got all twisted
out of shape, and how he suffered only
rheumatic will ever know.
For twenty-five years he was in
misery, then one lucky day his drug
gist advised him to use Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. OF the result Mr.. Hutchins
says:
"The first two boxes did not help
me much, but I got two more, and
before | got them used up l was a
great deal better l kept on taking
them and now my pains are all gone
and I feel better than l have in years.

AS Leonard Cawthorn walked down
the narrow lane under the shade of
the overarching hedgerows, he
glanced about him with an eye of
sober delight. The surrounding land
scape was precisely that which had
always formed the background of his
dreams when at nighttime in his lone
Canadian ranch current of his
thoughts had involuntarily set home.
ward. AS he remembered it as boy,
as he had dreamed of it as a man, so
the picture remained, true down to
the smallest of it's details, even to
the wisps Of straw caught by the pro-
jecting forks in the hedgerow when
the corn-laden vain had passed.
1t was in such setting that he had
always thought of her. Indeed, the
landscape without her would for
Leonard Cawthorn's eyes at least
have lost more than half it's charm.
Presently the corn lands ceased,
and the lane broadening out ran by
the side of undulating meadows to
the village of Netherlands lying in
the valley below.
Nethercote farm lay back from the
roadway, just at the edge of the vii
1age. AS Leonard walked up the path
which led to the house a troop of
early memories crowded in upon him
He had clear right to share of the
property after their fathers death,
but Mark seized everything with that
grasping nature of his and soon made

company. Feeling this, like sensi-
